Spoteed the beast hunters cyberverse playsets in ken black Carlow, the apex armor repaint with breakdown and the skyclaw with smokescreen, both are €29.99 each.
Ugh, anyone else had bad experiences with ebay's 'Global Shipping Program'? It's been 2 years since I used ebay so I must be really bad at it.
New Argos catalogue later on today, they usually start giving them out towards the end of Friday ahead of the Saturday release. I am not too hopeful of much new. Maybe Voyager BH Shockwave, perhaps the constructbots.
Smyth's had a few things. The new Beast Hunter Optimus and Predaking. They're really immense. I dunno if they're still considered leader class, or if it's called something else now. I'll almost certainly be skipping these, but they seem like they'd be such imposing display pieces I was tempted to reconsider. Constructobots are also out. They had Starscream and Ironhide at €11.99, Blitzwing and Bumblebee @ €27.99. There was also a mid-size class with Wheeljack and Soundwave. Again, not something that's strictly on my list, but they definitely look like fun and I was very curious. Same old deluxes and voyagers though.
Anybody spotted the Prime predacons rising stuff in any tesco yet? They've shown up in the UK but not sure if they hit Ireland yet.
Is there any reason to get excited about Predacons Rising subline other than Abominus? I haven't been paying attention.
Lot of prime preds wave in Tesco, Tullamore and Edenderry. Deluxes 18.99!!! Prime voyagers in boots, liffey valley, prime and starscream 14.99.
Amazon UK had a Dreadwing listed there for £12.99 a few days ago. When you add shipping and exchange currencies, you'd probably still be paying a good deal less than standard voyager prices over here. For Shockwave, again, Amazon US is probably you're best bet. Ebay's well too expensive.
Shockwave's in wave 2 BH Voyagers, so he could well show up in stores. As for PR; I'd probably wait for the regular release Abominus, that much clear plastic is asking for trouble. Other than that, there's a couple of nice Predacon repaints - and another Bumblebee - and possibly the only way we're going to see the Hardshell and Shockwave Cyberverse molds over here.
Tesco Nutgrove have Predacons Rising Legion 2 Pack Smokescreen and beast whos name I forget. They also had the Abominus set. No deluxe or voyagers
Ouch! Tesco needs to dial down the meds, it's prices for toys recently have been insane. I'm better served picking them up individually, even if it is a bit more work. Argos has Hun-grr and Cuthroat for €4.50ish each at the moment and I can pick up Sinnertwin in Ken Black for €6. Not sure of their names, so just referring to them as their G1 counterparts.
Tesco really need to get a hold of themselves with prices, I was in ther this morning for some stuff and noticed that the deluxes were €18.99 and they had the yellow sales stickers on them too, voyages were €31.99 and CV Commanders are €13.99. They are most cetainly taking the mickey. If they ever come to their senses with prices I might pick up BH Bulkhead since they do have wave 2 deluxes, still no predacons rising stuff yet though.
Stopped off in Smyths Jervis yesterday. They've the beast hunters cyberverse reduced to €4.50. Spotted Bumblebee, Airachnid & Smokescreen. Same figures are €9 in Tesco! The Cyberverse commanders were reduced to €9 for either Optimus or Predaking. The Leader class Optimus and Predaking were €60. Toymaster on Jervis has reduced their Universer line legion figures to €5, lots of onslaught & 1 starscream on the peg. Picked up an Onslaught as I think I'll be picking up the generations starscream with waspinator at some point instead. Nice little figure, the shoulder missile / cannon's pretty nifty. Both stores had the Wave 2 deluxe Beast Hunters, Smyths was €12 (I think). Did spot a deluxe Viking style Bulkhead in Smyths if anybody's looking for him. Very little facings for Transformers, section was about 3 pegs across.
