    Yes, yes, yes.

    Could we also have transforming minion hot cross buns (Doughbot), potato waffles (Versatilatron), and poptarts (Poptart)?

    Is it worth designing a transforming butter knife? We could call him Butterblade. <- OH MY GOD, I'M GIVING THIS CHRISTMAS OUT FOR FREE, BIZNATCHES. HOW AM I NOT A MILLIONAIRE WITH A SCROOGE McDUCK SWIMMING POOL OF PLASTIC CRACK?

    Me too - I actually ordered 2 but they only shipped one - so perhaps they are out of stock.

    Mine was squished too - so squished it actually knocked the tail of it's peg on the jet (popped back on fine) - but worrysome.

    Perhaps if we complain politely and suggest they use mailer boxes like play use they might listen.

    ----------

    Oh and noones yet been able to identify my toy :

    :hijacked: 

    Ah if only...

    I've learned that complaining gets you little or nothing in this life. As proven out by several letters to and fro with the customer complaints department of TRU because of a twat of a manager they have working in the Gloucester branch. Nah, scratch that, all the staff at TRU Gloucester are twats.

    But back to sightings before the mods get cross :D 

    Seems that the Tescos are being quite erratic with their TF pricing and stock. Popped in to a different store than I usually go to on my way home last night (I have about 4 within a 10 minute drive!) and they had legends, scouts and deluxes only but all at steaming full price. This was the same store that had ice cream truck twins and Jolt etc for £6.47 a week or so ago.

    Anyhoo, as well as Thrust, managed to pick up Ransack and Dune Runner with my clubcard vouchers the other day (may have already mentioned that, er...) and Depthcharge off ebay for less than a fiver with postage yesterday, so all I need now is Gears to complete the entire ROTF line for scouts, deluxes, voyagers, leaders, supreme and construction classes - at least the ones that have hit retail in the UK so far.

    Apologies for hijack.

    I'd hang on for Brakedown (Breakdown?), fairly confident we'll get him along with that Red Baron scout.

    Just remember how long after the first movie we were still seeing toys from it turning up (that wave with Stockade and the black cyclops jet were in Wilkos for deathyearns).

    Bludgeon: I'm not so confident about mass retail. If a toy is a must-have, and not in the early core-characters wave, it lessens the chance of there being spare to ship over.

    More stuff out in mid march according to Hasbro UK.

    If someones is so inclined, ask them about Armorhide, Dirge, and Long Haul, I can't get a straight answer out of them about those ones as yet.
    More later, I'm typing this on a Wii.

    I e-mailed them the other day, the response isn't worth talking about much less posting, it's someone else's turn. :p

    I'm thinking I'll just keep an eye out for him and the other new Deluxes when I drop into Toyz and Gamez each month and just get them from there. It costs a couple of quid more than official UK retail but at least I know I'll be able to get them off a peg in person (and check for missing parts and bad paint apps) without hunting around, ordering online or never seeing them anywhere mainstream. The only time I ever regret doing that is when Tesco or whatever end up clearing their stocks at half price. But then I get that regret of not waiting with most discounted TF stuff I originally bought full price.

    Spotted in my house:-

    TFA Arcee and Cyb Ratchet from Toyz and Gamez.

    Both really great figures. Pity Arcees thumbs have stress marks on them but I guess thats a very common fault of this mold.

    Kapow have it instock. I bought mine on Thursday. I picked up Skids from Asda for £20 last year but I don't think I would get Mudflap for the same price.

    What have I been reduced to? Raking in a bucket of Legends, discarding the pointless RPMs and the only new stuff in ASDA Larbert is Grindor (Blackout repaint so no), Enforcer Ironhide (got, so no) and Mudflap (just, no). Restock of all the first wave Scouts too. When's the Soundwave wave out?

    The lack of new stuff is getting to me - I'm off to Iron Man 2 and TRON forums for some new excitement, but I'll still pop by here sometimes (awright, daily)

    Boo to all three of you :p 

    HA figs are beaut, thanks for the tip thar man. I shall see what I can find in my travels!

    I wasn't gonna get HA figures, but then I got BB dirt cheap and Skids and Mudflap are teh sex! Much better than the deluxe imo. And now HA Jazz, oh lordy I need him. Jazz how he was meant to be.

    I just saw some legends at Tesco Express in Lincoln, was quite taken aback, tempted by Tankor, and seeing how my coming full circle will be destroyed when Tigatron arrives I might as well go for it.

    Beast Machines homage ftw!

    Smyths Borehamwood have HA BB and Skids in stock right now. So find a Smyths and you'll find your HA's.

    As for me, I can't report any new sightings. I've seen new Joes (PP Baroness, Para-Viper, Artic Snake eyes, topless Storm shadow) at Wembley Asda, and I picked up a Doctor from Brent X TRU.

    But the surprising lack of any new TF's disturbs me.
