Decided to send a message to Forbidden Planet regarding MPM Bonecrusher as there’s been nothing. He’s still processing. I’m hoping they’re just busy and it’s taking longer to ship orders.

Has anyone whose used Forbidden Planet before had any problems with them?

 

Game seems to have the ROTB Blokeees Optimus and Bee. My local had one lonesome G1 blind box too who ended up coming home with me


Someone please explain why the hell the ROTB boxes are so big, are they not the exact same size as the G1 blind boxes?

 

Don't the bigger boxed ROTB include Light up LEDs that the regular Blokees lack?

 

They do but I wouldn't have thought that justified the 4x bigger boxes, or would it ?

 

They have bases as well I think.

 

yeah just saw the rotb ones in leicester

 

That's my local too  

Forgot to mention, i actually saw an MPM Bonecrusher in GAME earlier

 

The problem with Forbidden Planet is there's two separate chains - Forbidden Planet and Forbidden Planet International. FP has a website that you can order from online and FPI doesn't, BUT, FP has long had a problem with advertising things for order or preorder on its website that they don't actually ever actually get in. I stopped preordering from them years ago for that very reason. It's often the case, too, that FPI has items physically available instore that the other FP hasn't had at all.

Like Zavvi and HMV, I'd only ever use the FP website as a backup of a backup. :S

 

Thanks. Hopefully they get back to me in the week.

 

Forgot to say, cheers to the peeps that said about Entertainer and the SS core classes being cheap! Was in Lincoln branch yesterday, on the shelf they had Spike and RotB Arcee. But I asked if they had different ones in the back and the lady brought out a fresh unopened retailer pack, which had more Spikes, BB Shockwave and BB Ravage! :3

From what I noticed, 70% of their shipped pack was Spikes, with 2 Ravages and 1 Shockwave. I will still check my other local sometimes next week for Rumble/Frenzy.

Also my mistake, it's just the SS Core classes, not the Legacy ones.

 

Ooooo very nice, I may pop down to see if they have any in the bmouth game, not likely tho as it's tiny aha

 

I wouldn't worry, the Leicester store is practically a cupboard in the corner of Sports Direct

 

Ah okay fair play

 

Few things i forgot to mention,

Spotted a Jada G1 Prime and Delorean in my local Morrisons a few days back too, thought they'd came and went a long time ago.

My local Game had a lone 40th Anniversary Laserbeak funko on the shelf

The 40th anniversary single pack Funko Optimus and Megatron have popped up in Forbidden Planet

My local FP also seems to have restocked on

SS GE Sideswipe, BB Sunstreaker, ROTB Wheeljack

Core Class BB Rumble, Energon Megs and the bike rocklord thing (the one that has a face like the Mr Burns alien)






On the Blokees Game front, it seems they have all of them on their site seemingly in stock, not just Prime and Bee. Interestingly enough though they don't allow for click and collect on them, just delivery

Just saw this post on Instagram, seems some GAME stores are stocking the whole Blokees wave

 

Saw this on HotUKDeals:

Transformers Collaborative: G.I. Joe Mash-Up, Megatron H.I.S.S. Tank and Baroness

Transformers Collaborative: G.I. Joe Mash-Up, Megatron H.I.S.S. Tank and Baroness for £24.99! Damn good price there, especially from Comics and Cocktails!

 

Ok I was going to say check Aliexpress for them at a cheaper rate but checking my app myself, they are £2- £3 more (didn't check the VAT and if delivery is free or not) more unlike the regular Blockee Transformers which are still cheap over there!

Anyway if you haven't order the Comic figures on HP to have gotten an Email, just letting you know the estimate delivey has been delay from September 11 to 23rd now. Been checking the stock on Straxus regular as I'm still on the fence wheather to pre-order him at full price or wait for a few months or a year for his price to drop???

Oh yeah, my local GAME got Frankenstein however someone has bought Cloudcover and all of the Leader class has been bought aswell.

EDIT-Had a quick visit at GAME today and they had one Blockee. Didn't buy it cos it's expensive when compared to Aliexpress and it's too random for me. Have Megatron and Skywarp already and I just want Optimus the most.

 

Stranger Things Code Red £30 at ID

 

Yesterday at Bristol Cribbs Causeway Smyths, 2 x Sandstorms on the discount table but 1 in the aisle all the same price...

 

On the discount table but not discounted lol

 

Forbidden Planet emailed me about MPM Bonecrusher and it’s not good news.
