Well I can get a TR Astrotrain for a decent price but eBay are taking the piss for the Broadside that I truly want. Are any of these out in UK stores?

Ebay coupon CJANUARY15OFF $15 off orders of $75 or more. Expires tonight.
This is the key to truly cheap iron factory. Someone wake up the doctor. Ordered soul reaper and shadow tengu for $66 USD (also a magic card to get to the $75 threshold)

I think the one seller might be a scam but hey whatever ebay

Also, I just wanna say, if you have any interest in Iron Factory stuff - The Ultimate Commander / Alleria combo box is a great pair of figures. I've really enjoyed their Ginrai. The inner robot is a cool Stormbringer legend while the Ginrai is almost deluxe size, towers over the other IF figures as he should.

It's the entire front end of the vehicle mode. That is objectively less than Barricade's car roof. Which again, supposedly forms something thematically appropriate.

The transformation of these toys is far more elaborate than you're giving them credit for. I *own* several one step Transformers. Both of the figures have far more moving parts than any given one of those do, and it's obvious.

The end result is no more impressive so far. Maybe it's unfair to continually compare the new movie stuff to the RotF line, but...sorry, that's the gold standard. Just the sheer amount of unpainted grey plastic on the Berserker is laughable. I don't mind too much, as it's money saved, and the MP Bumblebee looks nice so I have some optimism for those three. Curious who the third MP will be. I'd be kinda down for an MP Barricade, honestly.

In Asia, Hasbro is apparently shipping them around this or next week. My Facebook friend who sells Transformers alleges it's because Hasbro thought Asians buy toys for their kids on Chinese New Year.

Found another Transformer hiding around while I've been preparing Prophet of Nixon's and Lepecard's packages. This addition is Classics Voyager Optimus Prime. Checking Ebay he seems to go for a lot for some reason. Either way, I'll put him down for $35 I guess.

In the meantime, DrRockso20, I found Slugslinger and didn't really see any problems with him. If it turns out I was wrong and there's still a problem with him, just tell me.

Was hoping for Thunderwing to make it to round 2(he'll probably get a toy anyway since they can just use Black Shadow's mold), but I can live with these results, since Star Saber and Unknown Evil are still there(since they'd make the most interesting toys out of the contestants)

Really hope Ultra Magnus gets eliminated next round though, cause he's already gotten both a good quality toy and focus in the comics in recent years(and hopefully if Primal wins they won't just copy his Beast Wars figure and do something a bit more original)

Perhaps if Primal wins, the comic will make him become Optimal Optimus when Primed.

There's 48 deluxes and 2 leaders. That means there is only 12 of each deluxe figure for wave 4.

Christ, this Perceptor is amazing. The microscope works and focuses! The hidden tank mode is really fun, especially having to work it out for yourself because it's not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. Robot mode is nice and looks great. Just what The_Doctor ordered.

Forbidden Planet has Wave 3 deluxes in, but at £19 each, I figure I can just wait till they hit regular retail here.
