    Spotted a motorised G1 Ultra Magnus in the new Stranger Things 3 Trailer that's just dropped...

    What, doesn't count??

    It's right at the start though...

    Did I read somewhere that we might not get SS Barricade and BB Optimus? Sorry if I've missed it, but I've been really ill (just found out I've got Fibromyalgia, so that's going to me fun to deal with!). I've been out of the game for a while, just pre-ordering from Japan, but what with the "merger" and Takara stock being identical to Hasbro I'm back in the game! I've been pre-ordering Siege stuff from UK shops thus far, so I seem to be keeping up with that, but I'm not generally interested in SS except for the two aforementioned figures. If they're not going to see general release I'll have to consider IDT or Kapow.

    I'm hoping to get to the opening of the new Smyths in Lincoln tomorrow. Is anyone interested in my posting what they've got?

    @Exinferis - not heard anything about not getting BB OP. Hope that isn't true as I was hoping to pick him up at retail.

    On the fibromyalgia front, my mum has been diagnosed with it so I have an idea of what you must be going through. It mustn't be fun for you.

    Amazon US has barricade for < $19 at the mo so that's your best bet for him.

    Thanks for this. Picked up Barricade and Sideswipe for £42 shipped, nearly £10 cheaper than my Omegalock order. Its a sorry sight that Hasbro UK has got themselves in to. I feel bad for the Collector websites like Kapow, ID Toys and Omegalock

    This may be a question that’s been answered before. But why isn’t MP Prime V3 on Kapow?

    Best guess because A) he ain't gonna be cheap, combined with B) a certain uncertain IRL happening that may or may not happen that will have a massive impact on the value of the quid and on importing/exporting to & from the UK.

    A "few" must be right, as in a select few because I already reported in this Thread when my Orders for Sounders and Ironhide were cancelled by Amazon.

    Hmmmm.

    Like Payres said a page or so back - no writing next to the age rating, which indicates that this is Euro/ UK stock! Good news, but annoyed that amazon got the stock before Kapow!
