I don't think Hasbro should make any of those blaster things ever.

Oh, and I picked up Movie Stockade yesterday. He's cool =) (also gonna try and hunt for Overcast, Long Arm, and Landmine) (I couldn't find Dropkick and I'm sure as hell not gonna get that ugly-ass Salvage. UGH)

I am not envious...

It would seem there are shoals of certain things fetching up throughout GB. In Leicester, for example, I've been unable to get an Alt Wheeljack and now find that they have been sent to Glasgow. We have day-glo Rescue Ratchets galore in our Argos stores (well, we had last time I looked). TRU has oodles of Robot Replicas, Cyber Slammers and totally expensive Leaders from more than one range which are warming the shelves nicely. There are Animated in floods in our TRU and, surprisingly, the Dominoes independent toyshop.

But Henkei? Ah, too specialist... Universe? Er whut?

Me want Space Choo-Choo in pretty colours! *wails*

Salvage is much better then Overcast. Landmine is the best deluxe in the movie line by far. Great Posability, Complex Transformation, Great Mold. He's been called the "Marvel Legends Equivalent" of the movie line.

Yea scotland(UK) do get some of the worst TF distribution in the world. The only time iv ever seen more than a few Transformers toys on display was when the movie came out. My local TRU had a whole wall dedicated to transformers with a huge cardboard display above it and the shelves fully stocked shame it only lasted a month or two till they were left with the arm blasters and such but it was cool while it lasted i'm a bit annoyed that i didnt take a picture of it.

For buying transformers i usually use play.com the shippings free and they are usually cheaper than retail for most things. Got a battle begins two pack recently cost £18 but was here the day after i paid for it.

He looks better than the US classics I got that's for sure.

As for all you in the UK with poor availability...makes me very glad that I didn't move to Germany with my friend 2 years ago! lol

I do fill your pain though.

I may think of buying this and selling mine...

Nah, don't. I agree it's better, but once the nostalgia factor wears off, you're gonna wish for the mor realistic CLA version.

I usually try to get things from play.com as its a really good service but its adictive and i need a reason to go outside other than popping to HMV for a browse.
