    I saw a post on the Siebertron boards about a chap who got a Screamer instead on Cyb prime from play.com.

    I ordered key-chain Brawn from play.com - and got an iPod shuffle armband instead... Yah.

    As for play.com's future release dates, unless they get a firm date from the manufacturer, they just stick something for 2-3 months time in as placeholder.

    best part is, don't Play usually use stock photos? I love the fact that that's what Hasbro are sending out :D

    In my experience of browsing & buying they only ever use stock phots. Reminds me of the mistransformed howlers we'd see in Argos catalogues. :D

    On a sale note - Argos has got Movie Leader Prime at £15! All other Tf's are really reduced for clearance. Saw Animated Leaders in TRU.

    Wowsers, must go to Argos. And not by the voyager plane mold.

    Thanks for the tips, all, though I'm still not a fan of powderbluescream and will hold out for a Sunstorm or Thundercracker repaint. Maybeeee.

    Plus Scourge is taking up all my time right now. Sorry, Knook. Hahahaha.

    Argos is either good or completely behind depending on what time of year it is.

    I might just go get Leader Prime on friday methinks, never been too fond on shelling out £40 for a leader, but £15 is a cast iron bargain. And voyagers at £7.49

    How do you get specific voyagers at argos anyway, always wondered that, is it just ask at the till what ones they have?

    Well a few things to say 2day, QC issues with animated Starscream yeah you aint kidding tried to transform mine back from robot mode and pop went his head ended up gluing the bugger in place doesn't move now but i aint fussed about that issue i can sort it at a later date.

    Secondly Argos, the new catalog is due out on the 26th of this month which might include animated stock i mean whether people like to admit it or not Christmas is coming and Argos always pick up their pace close to Christmas.

    Last but not least to check when they have go to customer services and ask for a viewing and to check which ones name wise they have in stock i must have been in hundreds of times when Cliffjumper was released i think i know most of the staff by name now due to it got him in the end mind but still lol

    That just leader Prime or Nightwatch Prime too? Cos I'd be tempted by him at that price...

    I just ask them to bring out a selection when I pay for the item, worked for me when I was looking for specific deluxes.
