    Will do.

    I understand that everything is now a lot slower leaving China nowadays. What with the scanning ect of post.

    I shall give it 30 working days. If I haven't recevied anything by then, I shall start to chase.

    EDIT: I have received my shipping notification this morning. They have stated 10-30 working days for deliver, although they have added at the bottom of the email that we should give it an extra 7-10 working days to take the New Year in to account.

    You're probably better off getting a pre-order in for the re-issue of the Takara version and picking up the KO versions of the cassettes from eBay.

    Not sure where you live mr ray, but last weekend Solihull TRU still had 3 soundwave and 3 acid storms so might be worth a call :)

    I bought one in Teesside Park TRU on Monday last week, which was the last one, so if a RobS saw a couple on Friday, they must have had a restock.

    It's worth ringing your local shops to ask; the website said that it was out of stock at Teesside Park, but it lied!

    MP-08x? I suppose if they're KOing the original, they may as well get their money out of the mould.

    Apologies if already mentioned, but the Beast Hunters "Predacon Rising" movie is on Cartoon Network (or CN Too, can't remember) this Saturday. I think it's the premiere, but might be wrong... I haven't seen it yet anyway.

    Seems quite good, same old problems of not 100% fitting together in car mode, but paint wise (to my uncritical eye) he seems just fine, and will save my TT Red Alert wear and tear... :)

    You might try tweeting ToysR Us UK they reply on there more often than they do to e-mails I have had some really stupid automatic e-mails form them like I asked them if they were going to be able to transfer some stock of items from America and the reply said "we are not Toys R Us America" I wrote to toys R Us America and asked them if they could send some Cyberverse Vehicle Optimus/Megatron/Ratchet/Shockwave to the UK and they replied saying we are not the UK.

    So not very helpful then... I did finally get somewhere but I had to be vague enough to not fall over the auto-filter to actually get a proper reply and they did eventually stock half of what I'd asked for after I made a complete pest of myself.

    That they'd left the listing as no-stock for so long didn't really look very clever to me though.

    Another thing worth pestering them about is the Generations Voyagers and things like Generations Kickback & Starscream and the other Prime & Beast Hunters Voyagers that are not in stock being made available to buy online.

    I don't see a reason why they can't sell some GDO stuff either - they do import things from America they just are a bit slow about it so sometime things show up 18 Months late.

    Also why don't they sell ANY Rescuebots at all ? They could import that Optimus Battlestation thing for example. (which reminds me I really should remember to buy that RescueBots Optimus Car transporter sometime from Argos)

    I was surprised that they don't sell RescueBots. The OP car transporter is a favourite of my son's, but it had to come from Argos.

    That must have been a re-stock as they weren't there on Wednesday.

    So, I am on the Feral Rex train thanks to Wasp....

    So i don't have to venture from the warm confines of this thread, is anyone able to summarise when the next releases are and ideally a good place to order?
