    Voyager Prime is wave two and he's already been found, hasn't he?
    I have one I got off ebay months ago so not looking for him. Got Grimlock and Lugnut is on his way so I'm after wave 3 deluxes next. Then Blitzwing! :D

    When I first started buying Animated, I promised myself only one version of each character.
    I have both Deluxe Primes on my desk as I type this, and know damn well I'll probably get the second Prowl to go along with the standard version.

    Curse my weakness for plastic.

    ;) 

    Yeah, sorry to hear 'bout Prime going down. :eek: 

    *Serious Mode Activated*

    A shame indeed. How long has it been up and running for and did it ever make much money for ya? Or was it more about your love of TF's and to (help) pay for your own purchases?

    Let me know if you can still sort him, and how much. But don't go out of your way, I'm hoping to be able to get to AA this year if all goes well. I'm sure I'll be able to pick one up there reasonably priced.
    I only mentioned it 'cus I thought they might be already ordered/on their way and you were calling it a day after OS/Minibots. (a post of yours last week?)
    You planning on visiting Brum yourself?

    Was more about the love of it :)  It was running for like a year, I think I've made about £500 or something ridiculously low out of it. Of course all the money is tied up in stock which doesn't help, lol, but there we go :D  And yep I'll be at AA fo shizzle, a mate of mine is coming over from Singapore as a dealer so I'll probably be helping him out as well as enjoying the fun of the fair :)  Oh btw I can get another OS fo shizzle for you :)  So no worries there mate. I'll PM you price when I get it confirmed but I THINK it'll be around £55 plus postage.

    OH MY GOD LOCUSTREIGN POSTS AN ACTUAL SIGHTING!!!

    Manchester TRU FINALLY had Animated in! All of Wave 1 Voyagers. Didn't see a single deluxe. Also had 2 Leader Bulkheads left so I assume the Megs have been and gone!!! No reissues in sight :( 

    Oh and while Woolworths has the European Mountain of Legends Movie Megs, I think TRU Manchester has the leader-size equivalent. Seriously. It was bloody ridiculous. They must have had 40-50 of it!!!

    Slight shift of topic - if you could only have one Starscream mold - movie or animated - which would it be and why?

    (Essentially, I can get myself either movie voyager Tcracker or TFA Starscream (or a repaint later on), whaddado, whaddado, whaddado...)

    Animated.
    It's, leik, 1000000000x better than the movie one!!1!1!!11one

    In all seriousness though, yeah, the animated figure is a lot better. HOWEVER it does appear to have some serious QC issues - people in the US have reported buying it from a store and it having no head, or no hands... but I've not heard of anything like that over here.

    It's a fun little toy as well :)

    I agree - animated starscream is miles better than the movie one, so I say get the animated one.

    Its seems to me though that the americans like to exaggerate a lot when it comes to QC of TF toys (I don't know about here as I don't venture of of this thread much, but they do at seibs)

    Play.com have added wave 2/3 deluxes and Supreme Optimus, release dates are;

    Wave 2 + Supreme Prime (only forty quid!) - 30th September (lol, wut?)
    Wave 3 - 30th October (they'd better be wrong!)

    Mind you, they still have the leaders down for 30th of August so I won't put too much stock in their dates.
    Going by their dates, wave 3 deluxxes should be out in TRU, er, last week! :lol

    I'm not sure what's going on with their dates. Or their despatch staff. They had 30th July down for wave one but sent my stuff out last week, which would've been nice if they hadn't posted a deluxe Cybertron Prime instead of voyager Screamer... Er, thanks guys! :(
