    I'm tempted by Airwave, but think its mostly new toy syndrome. Everyone loves Ironworks but I got him, transformed him a couple of times and ended up boxing him away.

    He looks good as an add on to Omega Supreme's base mode due to the similar colourings but I display Omega in bot mode due to space, Airwaves colours dont mesh well with Scorpy's in my eyes so wouldn't use him to accessorise him.

    Just gonna enjoy my Earthrise Megs, Arcee and Quint and dwell on picking up Airwave at a later time. He looks more interesting than Ironworks at least.

    Was in my Smyths in Beckton and they seemed to have everything in stock. Quintason, Arcee, ER Megatron, Blitzwing, etc...

    But they also had the new Battle Call Optimus Prime from Cyberverse. Who looks quite cool. But was 50 quid.

    Smyths newry has Alicon, Smokescreen, Airwave, both ER and Siege Megs, Snapdragon, Apeface and Quint Judge. There’s so much on the shelves that they’re ready to fall off.

    So Amazon came through on Scorponok, except it's shipping from Italy via UPS. Hopefully it doesn't add extra charges.

    If anyone missed out on the Prime Breakdown and Vehicon pack last night at Idtoys, Forbidden planet.com have just listed it. It says January in stock date though.

    they did that with some headphones I bought an age ago. Bit bizarre, but they arrived fine enough so all was well.

    Also, my Super Megatron dispatched! And given Arcee is due next week, I might have quite a few parcels to open...

    Midday for Pulsecon exclusives, as mandated by Hasbro UK.

    IDtoys will have it, imported.

    Kapow, less sure. Anyone know yeah or nay, with a link to the source from the horse's mouth?

    Are we just talking about those superflous Prime reissues - or something that actually matters ?

    Really don't get why the Pit of Judgement is the only one not readily available. There's been a ton of demand for it.

    It's a con exclusive. All exclusives are going up at noon today. I've spoken to Hasbro today to check on the fact they told me there'd be UK stock i.e. not import

    My best guess is that they expected a huge amount of demand in the States, so they didn’t allocate any overseas. Though I’d be incredibly surprised if they thought a set of Quintessons would be the biggest seller of the exclusives!

    can you ask them why they think it's a good idea to keep stuff short supplied like the centurion ?
