    No luck in finding Wave 4 TFP deluxe in Hucknall Tesco last night although I am going to try everyday until they have them in stock!

    All they had was a mouontain of wave 2 on the shelves so chances are they won't be getting any for a while. I shall not be defeated though!

    Bot-shots had 75p knocked off the price too.

    Brent X TRU has those Bumblebee suit things in, and as much as I love Cyberverse I find I can't pull the trigger on it. Too much yellow.

    They had one TFP Voyager Starscream, emphasis on 'had' as he's in my boot now.

    Most curiously they've also restocked on ROTF Voyager Optimus Primes, as in the Chinese tattoo dusty 07 Voyager repaint. The mind boggles.

    Edit

    I forgot, they have FOC in stock as well, lots of Jazzi and Primes, one lone Shockwave on thd peg.

    I have an image of Voyager Starscream, hog tied in the boot of your car, kicking on the underside of the hatch!

    I am probably the biggest fan of the 07 Voyager Prime figure - probably my favourite Movie Prime, but even I wouldnt really be interested in 'sneezed on Prime'.

    items in transformers cyberverse store on eBay!

    Good prices. Almost tempted to get Knockout. But their feedback is S***.

    I ordered them from there last week, no sign of them yet. I've had mixed luck with them, either packages get "lost" after dispatch or they arrive nice and quickly, it seems pot luck. I ordered a CL UM from them and by the time I was allowed to get a refund they had no more stock, it made me wonder how much they had in the first place...

    I bought my TF Prime deluxe Bumblebee from them for just over £3 ex P&P.

    Was kind of thinking they wouldn't send it for that price but they sent it fast.

    Got my Hot shot from there too for similar price and it arrived fine. I get the feeling they underestimate how much of some bits they'll sell

    I am not entirely sure how 99.2% positive over 296500 customers (or 294128 happy customers) constitutes bad feedback! I only ordered from them once, but had no problems.... I am therefore one of the 294128!

    What you need to do is read further and see the number of bad reviews in the last month etc, that gives a more balanced view

    John Lewis Liverpool had a Vehicon, which is now mine. As I have two, anyone interested in a trade for one? If so, let me know before Friday.

    Ummm.... Maybe you should look again. (Not sure why I am defending him, but saying he has bad feedback is unfair.)

    I looked at the first 400 feedback notes. 3 neutral, 2 negative, and 395 positive.

    I'm looking at:
    Positive: 19241
    Neutral: 125
    Negative: 206

    for the last month, not exactly bad, but just shows that there are still a fair few peoples who have bad experiences.

    I've had mixed experiences, worst case you do get your money back, otherwise their service is quite good.

    Now to head off to prompt them about my late order... :)

    Not to labour the point, but looking at the number of negatives alone is unfair, and statistically irrelevant. In a month, they have had 19572 feedback ratings apparently. 206 of these is just 1%, meaning anyone ordering (if all things were normal distribution) has a 99% chance of things being fine. If they had 300 feedback ratings and 206 were negative it would mean something.

    I agree that things do seem to have gone wrong with them in some cases, and there is an element of caveat emptor, but there always is. I am not trying to say that everything will be perfect every time, but that 99% positive is hardly 'S*** feedback'.

    I ordered TFP Kup from them last Wednesday. It just turned up now. I'd consider that to be excessively long, personally. But at the same time their communication was good and the price was great so I'd probably use them again.

    Spoke to my mum this morning who informs me that Argos have reduced the TF Prime figures again.

    £15 for Voyager Megs? Oh, go on then!

    Comparing the numbers of positives, neutrals and negatives in the last month gives a far more balanced view, IMO.
