£151 delivered. Normally doesn't incur CUTA either.

That compares to £180 from Kapow I think. If it does incur CUTA the £151 will work out at £30.20 plus either £6.50 or £13.50.
Hmmm, that might be worth the gamble.

Well, Toyz and Games were £80 each, so probably the better option. Where you place in the queue for pre-orders and number they get in is anybody's guess though.

Japan, yesterday. About £30 shipped. They were available for pre-order months ago ( www.hlj.com and many others )and seem to have sold out everywhere. eBay might be your best bet. A blue Rumble (don't get me started) has been seen on an RTS card, but that's so far up the list of things we don't have a hope of seeing it's untrue. But check your ASDA every time they restock just in case, mine does toys on Monday mornings. Incidentally here's some United Frenzy vs RTS Demolition Rumble comparison pictures. |

I'm trying to save the full force of my feelings on this matter for when I get my set from HLJ.

Thats a real bargain for the two. Surely theres other places to buy it from. Its amazing how hard it is to buy stuff thesedays like its all in favour of ebay type scalpers who want to rip us off... |

Its a bit ridiculous, new toys shouldn't be this hard to find or buy....old crap yeah, but brand new? Oh well....if I come across a set I'd buy...and yes, £30 for two pieces of plastic in hindsight is costly...should be half the price if that really.

Which you won't because United isn't sold in the UK - it's the Japanese version of Reveal The Shield & Generations

I know that but still, these are new toys so they should be in fairly available abundance instead of being scarce as seeing white dog shit on the pavement.

He's nice, still not nice enough to sell me on him though!
I like recolours to either have a purpose or look incredible (that is mostly beacuse I think that clear G1 Hot Rod done ages ago looked incredible, that's about the only clear recolour I've really liked).
The purples on the Decepticons seem a bit too dark to make them really shine though, if they were being kept on a normal shelf. Whilst Cyclonus is nice (and I might have got him if they were being offered seperately, Galvatron and Scourge don't do it for me.
Of course, there is also the worry that transparent plastic is much more brittle, as I said, most of my Energon weapons have now cracked in some way and I remember seeing some PCC minicons cracked straight out of the package.

I still don't understand the crystal blue Hot Rod.

Post by blueshift on Apr 6, 2011 10:24:18 GMT
Well, the Hot Rod is the same idea as the 'shining Magnus' they made years ago.
The difference there is that I actually rather like Shining Magnus. The Hot Rod looks quite murky, with the green and blue. Maybe if they'd made the green clear white instead?
