I hate it when they do that, i too have bought loads of first runs and then they do a nice little boxset with extra episode or must have features. I know this won't heal your wounds but if you didn't buy them first taster episodes, they would have never released the hole season.

I have bought the uk takara headmasters dvd. They are bringing out the hole season soon, which I am desperate to see, so it's not all in vain.

I have 2 diferent copies of battle royale and it took me 3 to get the full version of ichi the killer. I know it's not a complete comparison but my wallet feels the same hurt

Grr... bastards did it with Season 3 & 4 of G1, too. FFoD and Rebirth were released as separate DVDs for about £16 each around this time last year. I bought those, and now have to buy them again with the Season 3/4 boxset.

they are all available from Argos.. but you have to arse about to get the one you want..

And as far as the DVD's go... they always release Boxed Sets.. But I'll suggest that everyone invests in a "MiCO" DVD player 'cos they play all regions and VCD's... And then you can buy everything you want from E-Bay and other on-line stores for a tiny percentage of the price.. (my MiCO was the best thing I ever bourght)

Hi

Does anyone know when wave 2 of Energon is due in the UK? I'm dying to get my hands on them, but I've no idea when they are due.

Thanx
Matt

Word. I already own mine. Shame the Space Team sucks so hard, otherwise it'd be a flawless package. But hey, Magnus is great, so it's all good.

The annoying thing is that Magnus can't actualy hold the Requim Blaster, wich makes its inclusion a tad pointless... Still, at least having this toy means my Super mode Armada Prime no longer looks so hollow (and he can hold the blaster...)

Sixswitch · Post by **Sixswitch** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 1:29 pm

I gave mine to Jetfire. Not that he really needs it.

Mines still in the box. Couldnt be bothered to get them out as I already have the Armada version. Same with Treadbolt and Rapid Run.

Post by **inflatable dalek** » Fri Sep 17, 2004 1:57 pm

I to have the Armada version (which Jetfire holds), which was six quid I could have spent on booze if I'd known...

I think I prefer the colour scheme on the Universe one. Especially in Requiem Blaster mode. It looks more 'dangerous', if you know what I mean.

Yeah, the darker colours also blend together better to make it look more like one object rather than just three stuck together...

My towns woolies has now gone crazy with Energon, after weeks of just having Ironhide they now have most of wave 1 (oddly just after they took down the "buy one Energon figure, get one half price" signs...).
