My local TRU had those Then and Now things, too.

As for April O'Neill, bought her, Leo and Don the other day. You're not missing out - the figures really suck.

 

Oooh, easy pass then, thanks. As to new TMNT figures I'm going for the Revoltech Turtles so everything else is gonna go by the wayside... but I was gonna check out club thumb April.

Hatfield Galleria has a new Toystore (new to me ) which seems to have Toymaster stock. TF's are the typical non TRU AoE stuff and the TFP Cyberverse playsets... the green armour thing and Smokescreens jet.

 

Teesside TRU Has the Bumblebee Evo pack, nearly picked it up but remembered the 5 pack, so got the Strafe pack instead.

Something cool to note as well, it seems the Evo packs come in separate boxes, (The generations figures are packaged together however, 2 of each figure in a box) 1 box full box of strafes, another slugs and another of Bumblebee's, not all in the same box. So it shouldn't be hard to find any of them. If you see one Strafe or Slug among the Bumblebee's, almost guaranteed they are in the back of the store waiting to be taken out of the case! The guys at TRU found a Strafe box as non were on the shelves. So if you don't see one on the shelf...ASK! xD

Also they said they had the Grimlock pack as well, but non were on the shelves (the guy who got me the strafe pack said he knew they had the Grimlock pack), if anyone goes to Teesside TRU and wants it, ask them! They definitely have it in stock!

 

These guys are absolute legends if your looking for a good deal on 3rd party/Overseas exclusives.

Bought Mania King (Vintage Version) off them for £70 shipped, great service and very good at responding to queries through their facebook site.

 

Finally found the Legion and Scout two-packs at Great Yarmouth Asda. They weren't actually out on the sale shelves but I spotted the case for them on the high storage shelf and got an Asda Minion to climb up King Kong Empire State Building stylee and bring me down the case to nose through. Grabbed the only Stinger and Slug one they had, so sorry GY folks unless they have more cases stashed away. Looked to be about two or three of the Grimlock and Strafe ones left though if anyone is interested. There were already some gaps in the case so I'm assuming some enterprising TF collectors had already been at it.
Kind of annoying though that the Kong Minion put the case back up on the high shelf out of the way afterwards rather than just putting the figures out on sale. No wonder people struggle to find anything (although maybe that was good for me in this instance).

Aaaaaanyway, took my Stinger and Slug to the Customer Service Desk hoping that these two-packs were still priced at just £8. It was. Purchased. Used a £2 giftcard too to get it even cheaper.

I already own both the molds from earlier releases, but for £8 Stinger and Slug are an absolute bargain compared to most of the other stuff currently in the AoE line. Slug does feel slightly more tippy-tappy plasticcy than my previous release (the old Universe one?), but it's great to be able to pick up a fairly complex Deluxe(ish)-sized new figure without having to drag to TRU.

Finally, found the Flip-Changer Lockdown and Bumblebee in Great Yarmouth Tesco Extra. But the £17 sale on them appears to have finished now so I'll passing on Lockdown for the time being. Pity 'cos Flippery Lockdown did look somewhat appealing. But they're there for any GY peeps to have at it if they don't mind paying full whack.

 

Holy shit those are good prices!

Hello new store to have a look at!

 

He's not that new a store but his prices do tend to be quite good

 

Xs Stock have the construct bots beast hunters figures (Skystalker, Optimus Prime, Shockwave, Unicron Megatron w Ratbat and Barrage and Bulkhead w 2 figures who I can't remember). They have them on their web site and on eBay. Use the following code for 10% off on their website: je2at3

I also picked up Construct Bots Dino Riders Hound and Crosshairs from ASDA Fosse Park for £5 each. First UK sighting I believe.

 

I mentioned grabbing a Hound from Great Yarmouth Asda for a fiver about a week ago. However, not come across the Crosshairs one. But then I don't really actively search out Constructbots stuff these days.

 

Hello,

Would someone be so nice, to tell me some more about the Masterpiece situation?

Is Acid Storm still available and maybe even MP Grimlock?

Thank you.


All the best from Belgium,

Antoine

 

Both show as out of stock on Home - Toys R Us - Britain's greatest toy store

Might be a few left in stores but don't count on it

 

Thank you.

 

Apparently they register as 'out of stock' if there are less than 5 on the shop floor because of the way TRU does it. Acid Storm showed as out of stock everywhere but weeks after this happened I found a couple in TRU Luton.

You could always try calling them up and asking staff to check the shelves for you?

Grimlock isn't out here.

 

Guess who played Asda Click and Collect Roulette?



And I got this:



Hell yeah.

 

Sighted at Auto Assembly



And I want one reeeeaaaallly badly to finish my wreckers shelf!!!

 

Thanks to all those who have bought some toys off me over the last week and at Auto Assembly yesterday. It was a fantastic day and great to meet fellow fans such as Kit, Steve, Stuart, Matt, Adam and many, many more.

Still got a lot of stuff to go, so if you're interested please check out the following thread: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/items...sformers-sales-thread-everything-must-go.html

if anyone fancy's a masterpiece sunstorm or prowl there available for international shipping on tru.com

 

What are the postage costs like for tru usa?

 

MP Sunstorm is about £75 (including shipping) and MP Prowl is about £63.50 - so Sunstorm is fairly well priced but Prowl is rather expensive! D:

 

£130 all in for both
