    Checked out GAME Belfast after work. Full of the usual clearance suspects, plus a smattering of Studio Series and Legacy. Unfortunately our Forbidden Planet seems to be in the process of clearing their current TF stock, which means the shelves are bare save for a few lonely core class figures.

    Starting the TF cull I was thinking about... First one - what are your thoughts...Do I really need to keep Earthrise Starscream if I have SS86 Starscream?! Torn as to which to keep ;)

    Any of the Marvel Legends stuff like Mojo, did you notice?

    Keep Earthrise as well for that sweet jet mode!

    Hm, passed by the London FP today as I had the chance and it also looked like they were trying to get rid of stock - plenty of Legacy W2 deluxes & cores, SSBB Ironhides & Sideways, and ER Micromaster 2-packs and Jhiaxus at a slight discount.

    Also 2 Lio convoys, and I'm assuming whatever Tarns they put out had already been scooped up.

    There was a selection but I didn't look too closely, apologies. Shelves seemed full though.

    Any MPs in the display cabinets? For me that was part of the joy of the London shops, seeing all the nice merch.

    Shuttle and Botropolis arrived today - very cheery stuff. Looking forward to opening them.

    The eBay seller had tried to hide price they paid (19.99) by scribbling g over it but leaving the RRP visible (79.99). Ha!

    Arrived 10 days early. Sculpt work is utterly amazing! I always loved this design and this thing looks like he just stepped off the screen. The mpm matrix fits perfectly in his hand as well. Excuse me while I have a squee moment!

    Oh definitely, they're almost permanent at this point! Thundercracker, Nightbird, Crosscut, Primal's box, and there were some other Legacy/Selects figures as well as that recent licensed Banzaitron figure.
    It's almost a shame it's a small space compared to what the Marvel/DC/SW hot toys get.

    Hey question for anyone who owns both Legacy Tarn and MMC Kultur as I will when Legacy arrives. I've heard that some people think Legacy does some things better than Kultur does, and vice versa. Is that the case do you find? And if so, what?

    The Legacy version has a cleaner, leaner silhouette in both modes. Kultur is superior in terms of transformation, engineering, arm cannon and overall evilness. I got rid of Legacy Tarn after a day and don't regret it.
