    I saw a Voyager DOTM Prime in Toymasters today. But it's rather far from Bristol :p  Worth checking them out though as I gotten a few RTS Windchargers from them just this week for someone in the USA.

    Also thanks for the news on Battle Ops guys. Had a closer look at the reviews and I don't think it's for me. Unless it's real cheap. Someone's out looking for an original HA Bumblebee which suits my wants better.

    I'm out of the loop on DOTM stuff and not gonna get many. Voyager Shockwave: Is he in TRU stores yet? And how much is he normally selling for. Seems supermarkets are where to look yes?

    Probably too late posting this, but John Lewis Oxford Street had Leader Starscreams at £19.95 Friday evening. DOTM stuff still at hilarious prices.

    Tesco Surrey Quays didn't have DOTM wave 2 Voyagers when I was there this morning, but everything else was in at the discount prices. RtS Legends sadly were full price behind the wrong shelf label - ROTF at £1 each. No ROTF Legends anywhere on the shelves and no shelf label at all for RtS Legends, which is a bit misleading if you ask me. Was tempted by Prowl but not at the £3.97 he rang up as.

    Don't know if this counts but the Sainsbury's in Cheltenham had at least 8 of them when I went in last week.

    Yeah, I noticed the RtS Legends there today, and had to scan them to check the price. Would've grabbed some for £1 each.

    And the Surrey Quays store did have the DOTM wave 2 Voyagers last week, as I grabbed a Skyhammer from there. Didn't see Shockwave though.

    I final found a Large Truck bot Minicon fake in Poundland not seen any Faux scouts though - what is the quality like - any pictures any place ?

    I'd highly recommend the faux Raceteam & Space team Minicons in Poundland if people were considering them hey are well worth the 50p each (£3.00 total) they work out at. and it's nice to have a huge Skyboom Shield or Requiem Blaster.

    Asda in Birchwood has Wave 2 Deluxes and a DOTM shipper (not sure if this is for the Deluxes or for other stuff) that is due to go out onto the floor tonight/tomorrow according to my mate in their warehouse.

    Most other Asdas will have a similar setup from Tuesday as that is when the companys new promo setups start.

    Ha! Madness. Onslaught I hardly ever saw in the wild. He seemed to enjoy hiding out in Argos.

    Yay, saw my first ever Devastator ko in The Range in Eastbourne. £3.99 nothing else, just tons of those. How lovely for SideswipeGP to see Universe back on the shelves, and Ultras at that!

    Just picked a Masterpiece Grimlock up from TRU Wakefield. If anyone else is like me and missed out, they had loads of them. They must have found a case out back somewhere!

    I think it was red core frame with grey limbs and chest. Looks like it might be missing some arms parts though. I don't have the official figure so I'm not 100% sure. They look to be that plastic that doesn't hold detail well and is prone to worse tolerance issue than usual cheap knock-offs.
    As for who the fourth figure might be it's hard to tell because there's something like six or eight alt modes featured on the front of the bubble. I'm suspecting it might be Clocker though.

    Normally I'd buy some but I tend to just end up putting them on my car boot stall after a week to get rid of so this time I'll probably skip buying some. That and I'm a bit skint. That said I'm tempted to pick up the Shortround one because I lost the gun for my official one. Or Scrapmetal since I don't have a proper one.
    *sigh* I'm such a whore for cheapo KOs...

    It's Sentinel Prime nothing else.

    Ultimate Prime is $80 (80GBP) and is barely at mass retail in the U.S.

    What are the odds of it being available this soon, that cheap?

    Jetwing Prime costs more again.


    It's the same price as Leader BB and that toy has only ever had one casemate with the word Prime in it's name.

    Go for Tesco Brislington, certainly had two left of Skyhammer once I'd left with mine.
