    I'll try, I'm taking pooley with me, just in case I doze off.

    Could it be one of talons talons?

    I agree, I ordered a pp01 gun (from evilbay) for Yoth to have a better weapon, its taken a week and still no sign of it.

    Is that when wave two is to be out? Man... I went to my "local" toys r us and the pegs were loaded with gimmicky as well as loads of croshairs and bumblebee generations got the last scorn though which is awesome! They could eventually do a little beast wars megs with that mould :D

    My Evolution Grimlock set arrived from TRU today. Getting the repainted Energon Grimlock has reminded me how much I regret selling Energon Grimmy & Swoop. The instructions don't mention the combining gimmick but the Mega-Dinobot head has it's eyes painted. I'm hoping that means that an Energon Swoop re-release is a possibility although, as nothing has been announced, it's probably just wishful thinking.

    Welcome aboard Pieter, hopefully the guys on here don't stretch your wallet too badly;p Ah I remember the first time uncle Maz took me out back, pulled out his hot throbbing enablement and thrusted into my tight innocent bank account. I'll never be pure again.




    Yeah, Hasbro UK dropped the ball with distribution. Giving TRU a monopoly when they're just as useless was bound to succeed. I've just resorted to buying online.




    Concerning yesterdays business, I may not be that well known around here but I've been around long enough to know you guys have argued before and got over it, don't let one argument get you down. May the power of courage gattai your friendship into the finest gestalt of happiness.

    I don't suppose anyone is interested in a complete G1 Powermaster Getaway are they?

    Hi Guys,
    Been stalking this thread for quite sometime, seems pretty quiet tonight so thought I'd pop in. Was just wondering if anyone is looking to sell Generations Whirl or Springer?

    Have you looked on amazon.com (the us site) they have turned up real cheap not so long ago on there and they allow you to prepay tax so no customs charge

    Ps wreckers are awesome (see pic)

    I'm hoping that we get the Optimus Prime evolution set as well in the UK. If the stock photos are to be believed, after all those releases of Classics Voyager Prime, that will be the first time that the panels on the sides of the legs are painted red, making the whole cab red.

    Yeah I managed to get Armada Starscream, AOE Voyager Grimlock and FOC Skywarp for £35 a couple of weeks back. I would rather buy from someone in the UK though.

    Seen reviews of Springer, that's what made me want him :lol

    Yeah, I'm not sure if I want to pay that much even if it probably is worth it (I'm a cheapskate).

    I'd be surprised if I was, you'd probably say I was crazy! :lol

    I'm going to confess this very quickly and then pretend I never said it - Just ordered the DVD of The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. Loved that cartoon as a kid. The Hooded Claw who just happened to sound and look very like Penelope.s guardian Sylvester Sneakly and of course the Ant Hill Mob. Loved how they took the mickey out of the old damsel in distress movies. Penelope was intelligent, resourceful, athletic and courageous, until confronted by the Hooded Claw and then she'd go weak at the knees and scream 'help, help.' They made cartoons with style back in the 60s.

    Nope, I've definitely not bought the DVD of Penelope Pitstop, no siree.
