Does it have all its pips?

Yes. And they are full-length, unlike the re-issue.

Anyone who doesn't have Animated leader Megatron and Bulkhead but meant to pick them up- they are now available (with free Activator no less) in Toys'r'us for the bargain price of £19.99. Woo!

Sainsburys has a 2 for 1 till 3rd of March I believe. My Asda had Universe deluxes at £6. With my discount Ironhide fianlly looked worth a try. Also had Silverstreak, but I wasn't to impressed by Prowl so I passed for the time being. Andy Andy, Prowl's a great toy, tons of character in him. I'd definitely pick him up, and for £6 you simply can't go wrong. And £20 plus a free activator for those two Animated Leaders? Both are definitely worth the money, Megatron in particular. |

Popped into Sainsburys whilst home visiting my parents to find they had indeed a 2 for 1 offer (the Taunton branch actually carries toys!) and got an Ironhide and Silverstreak.
They had Silverstreak, Acid Storm, Sideswipe and Galvatron left. If anyone wants one, give me a bell before um, 10am on Sunday and I can pick them up whilst I'm still here. But Galv is a fiver on play.com so you're better off getting him there

Tssk. My local Sainsburys had a single Universe Ironhide. I wish I could have combined it with an Animated Sentinel Prime.
In other news, FPL are selling 'cut price' Henkei Ironhide and Galvatron for 13.99 each. I'm almost tempted to buy the Galvatron, even though I have his Universe equivalent. The silver paint on the gun turret is quite nice. Ironhide looks quite good in a decent shade of red, though I've been put off by the reviews on this and other forums.

I may have been more kindly disposed to new Ironhide if the re-issue of the original hadn't come out recently.

I really like the engineering of it, the weird alien look of the robot mode and the M.A.R.B. type thingy the robot can stand on and kill people from!

Why thank you Mr Tescos for those delicious £4.99 Animated Voyagers! Deluxes are full price though |

The Universe Delexus have finally turned up in the local ASDA. But they are not £6! They are...£5! Galvatron, Ironhide, Acid Storm, Sideswipe and Silverstreak. They are not in the regular toys section, nor the sales section. Nay, they are placed in the home entertainment section, beside the large screen LCD TV's. Who knows how long they have been there. I noticed them by accident, looking for cranberry juice!
In the other news, the Animated Activators which were £5.86 are now £4.86. Previously, they shelf warmed. Now they fly off shelves at a mighty rate.

I got all excited about running down to Asda there - but looking closer into it, I don't really fancy any of this wave's figures other than maybe Acid Storm...hmmm.....

Of those, Silverstreak, Sideswipe and Acid Storm are must buys
The rest are 'ok'

These were the very 3 I picked up. Otherwise out of my price range but at a fiver a pop? Get in!

Acid Storm is a lovely little toy. He is a good mold, with a very effective colour scheme. I paid the full thirteen earth pounds for him and think he is well worth it. For a fiver I would say you wouldn't go far wrong.

Poor Ironhide has Last Item Syndrome. ASDA blew through their stock in two days and he has shuffled around the store ever since. I have found him in several exciting locations, including the fruit bit. I felt it was my duty to return him to his shelf. But now the Universe shelf-tag has been taken away. He will not be joined by any of his Universe chums.
I fear Ironhide may be doomed to roam around ASDA...forever.

Not remotely tempted. It's a heap of shit. And I need every penny I've got right now for rather more important Real Life considerations.
Ironhide may weep, but I do not hear him.

Saw Animated Roll Out Prime in Tesco for £12.50ish!! That's pretty ludicrous as it's £50 rrp or something.

3 for 2 on all toys in Tesco right now. Also saw Leader Class Animated Bulkhead down to £20. If it was Leader Megatron I'd have snapped it up, but I'm happy with my current Voyager Bulky.

Oh I'm sure he is- he certainly looks packed with features. It's just an issue of space really. I hope to get one more 'big' TF from the current line - and since I have Bulky already in Voyager class, I'd have no room for Meggy down the line.
Very tempting though.

It's always shops that are a pain in the arse to get to, isn't it?  That's good to know though, might pester the missus into driving me there tomorrow. |

Thanks Nick, that'd be great if you don't mind! I imagine the next Glaswegicon isn't too far down the road in order to perform a transaction?! You're a good fella!
