I've heard several reports from people saying that Sainsbury have said there's multiple pallates out the back waitingf to go out so check back regularly and you might found more stock appearing.
Hailstorm is great too. There's been some superb dlx this year.

I took advantage of the Sainsbuy's sale to pick up some things I wasn't prepared to get at full price, but was happy to get at discount - namely Axor, Deluxe Rescue Ratchet, Deluxe Ironhide and the Ravage Infiltration set (or as I refer to it Flak/Rollbar double-pack with bonus constipated looking army mans and some random plastic junk).

Axor can be found in Sainsbury's sale, you say? Karl, if you happen to be in your Sainsbury's again in the near future, could you pick one up for me? I'll pay you back at Scotcon.

Ravage Infiltration Flak is so fiddly with the right arm trying to form the vehicle door it kept popping off. Made so enraged I threw it across the room. Not a keeper.

I'd be up for an Axor, but my nearest Sainsburys doesn't sell toys.

Jetblade, however, is great! I especially love how his dunce's cap forms in robot mode. The spinning nipples when you move his arms are fun too.

Opened up Axor. Quite nice. What other Action Master character remakes have we had at retail? Other than the current Banzaitron I can't think of any other ones that weren't Botcon toys.

I think thats it. Hopefully there will be more though. Powerflash from one of the Cybertron jets would be great. Jetfire I think.
I wonder if Botcon toys do trigger these ideas with Hasbro? BC Banzitron would have been in planning probably before Bludgeon/Banziatron and Axor and Dreadwind was released before Darkwind/wing.

Big box of Legends repaints today. And the BTS Optimus & Matrix set. Opened the BTS set last night and it looks great. Review when I can get to G1 Optimus.

Bought Rescue Ratchet and Hailstorm in Sainsbury's sale. (When I got to my local branch, there wasn't much to chose from apart from Legends and the small die-cast cars!)
No idea why I bought the Ratchet. Probably because of the G1 homage colours, and losing out on Universe 2.0 Ratchet I was looking for a substitute. Don't like it too much, the design's a bit meh for a Deluxe, and I'm not keen on the Movieverse design style. Already passed this on to a younger relative!
Hailstorm, I'm very happy about owning. It's Energon Demolishor reborn! In a good way. (Shame they couldn't use the Demolishor name as it's already used for another Movieverse character, a Construction.)

No Axor's left I am afraid, and it doesn't look like - by the look of what else is there - that they are restocking at the moment. I shall have a look later in the week if the sale is still on and see if any have shown up. Karl

Just picked up a mint boxed Grapple (£26!), that completes my Autobot cars from 84/85. I hope he won't remain mint boxed for long! Twenty-five years is too long to be trapped in vehicle mode in a plastic prison. Martin

Where would you like it sent to - home or one of your agents?

Opened up my Axor. Quite fun though the arms pop off easily so glad it was a fiver. Ravage Infiltration set is dire. Annoyed I wasted £13.

If you'd have asked me at the start of the week what I thought I do this week, then owning a Vintage Wheeljack would have been someway down the list. Phil Got a bargain. An Incomplete Bargain, admitedly but.....
*BREAKING* A vintage Wheeljack, even further. The feet wouldn't slide sideways. I applied excesive force and the black piece on the inside of the ankle sheared in two causing the foot to drop off.
Worst moment in 25 years of buying Transformers.
So if anyone has a knackered wheeljack with intact legs please get in touch. Similarly missiles, spoilers and the things behind his head.
I'm going somewhere to cry now.

If all the plastic is present you can send it my way and I'll see if its fixable for you. Plastic Weld can do amazing things.
