They all seem like the standard prices.
Oh, wait, I see.

Not a bad sale. Nemesis down to a more sane price.

Look, I'm not buying a Guardian Robot just for the Micromaster, I'm NOT...

This is my dilemma. That micromaster is the only Siege era one I don't have.

I missed out on the original as well, I could not (and still cannot, really) justify buying a Titan for the Micro.

I can't either. Not for £90.

I wouldn't like to say I was obsessed or anything, but I was periodically updating ID's Black Friday sale page yesterday just in case anything went up that I didn't want to miss, and it so happened that I did so whilst the Scraplet was eating his dinner, and I noticed that a couple of items were there that weren't there before. So I started refreshing the page every couple of minutes, and saw more and more things slowly being added. As soon as I saw G2 Grimlock appear I pounced. My basket was checked out before they even finished adding things to the sale...

Agreed. I finally succumbed and grabbed the G2-Style Leader Toxitron and Grimlock. Had no previous intention of picking up that line, but at a decent price like that, I'm a sucker! |

just as a heads-up.
Orders from In Demand Toys are taking a while to process due to high 'Demand'.
I placed an order on Monday 20th November, and I've only just had confirmation that it's been sent out today (23rd November).
Still, if you can be patient, there are some nice discounts to be had!

Nah, it's ok. I reallocated toy pennies towards the Chrimbo budget.

Smyths have some weird sales sometimes.
Legacy Evolution Leader Class Skyquake (The green one) is down to £35.99, yet Legacy Evolution Leader Class Dreadwing (The blue one) is still full price at £55.99.
They're basically THE SAME THING, but in a different colour!!
Are they trying to make out that blue paint is £20 more expensive than green paint right now???

Just that Skyquake is older stock so needs shifting.

Great price. Pity so few shops still have it. I'm not so sure a G2 colours version will come now so I could do with one of those.

He’s fairly easy to get for around 90 euros over here at the moment, which is probably around £80. I think if he were to drop to 60 I could be tempted.

I keep forgetting that Toys R Us UK is a thing again. They have a small selection of Transformers online but the do have Beast Wars Reissue Optimus Primal for £4.99 and Beast Wars Reissue Me3gatron for £11.99. I have no idea what the popstage costs are. www.toysrus.co.uk/transformers.html Edit: Erm never mind. Both are sold out. |

Mainly Earthspark and old Velocitron stuff on Toys R Us.
Funny how they have a couple of old Earthrise Micromasters still, though.

They were *very* over-priced at RRP, which would not have appealed to more casual fans/kids.

I assume they would originally have been intended to release closer to ROTB.
But yeah mostly just over priced.

I remember the good old days when Toys R Us had Optimash Prime for £4.99 (that's a callback to the first post in this thread). |
