    He's the Pete Best of the Dinobots or a version of Sludge who only existed in an alternate continuity or something. God know knows why anyone would think there'd be enough demand for a third party toy of him.

    Anybody in the market for a recently opened and very lightly used set of 2010 predacons?

    I opened one of the two sets I found recently and applied stickers, combined them and then decided that I don't need two sets and will probably keep the misb one.

    I am not looking for lots of money for it - just something sensible that I can put toward a YoTH Prime ;)

    meh...
    why am i saying meh, Im very suprised at my own response,
    its flipping wheeljack for godsake, but Im just underwhelmed..
    why....

    i tried watching season 3 of beast wars on my Samsung mini 4 but it said 'not available in your country'
    but the same vid plays fine on my samsung tablet...
    why...

    that season one 5pt ender with prime and megs fighting was probably the best moment I've seen in transformers, the fight was very well done,
    especially when prime turned into a truck and flattened megs,
    also that 300 inspired slow mo fight scene with prime and megs together side by side in unicron was wicked,
    also of note was that Magnus Jackie fight in the caverns with predaking in season 3,
    yeah the show was boring and didn't go anywhere but them fight scenes were great.

    Well doubledealer is on his way back to kapow towers, great customer service as usual. Hopefully Whirl turns up soon as this week really need him to come pull me out of the funk. Mini-pube will do the job though I'm sure!

    I resisted picking up a Whirl today, he just doesn't really take my fancy much

    Edit: On the other hand I did pickup Trace instead... :)

    Thanks. That's the problem with a Pete Best, always overshadowed by Ringo. I agree, surprised that demand would be high enough.

    Mate, would love to but spent the cash on FaTSlag. Not very helpful but there we go...

    Only places I know that have them over here are Comic Retailers, my mate got the first wave in at his shop via Diamond - Surfin' Bats literally flew off the shelf, and I missed 'im, dammit.

    Not sure, I got it for £60 which I thought was the going rate, just seen that Omega Lock have it for £39, despite wanting to support Orbital, I'm not sure I want to support them to quite that extent :)

    That's what I thought. I saw that Saturday and it had £65 on it so you at least got a fiver off. It's a great TF but not at that price. Zaltron/Andy all the way for my Nottlebots .

    I think I may go back and return it in a few days, I won't feel too guilty as i've spent a reasonable amount there recently :)
