Knook, you might want to lower the size of your sig pic to below 40k before a mod asks you to do it.

Looks nice though.

Nearer the 60k mark. Try using Gif, less colours but sharper. Thats what I did to my old fuzzy Jpg and now its pin sharp.

Can you confirm a few things so I can add them to my list:

The classics mini-cons are the following?

Dinobots
Night Rescue Team
Demolition Team

Does the wave 1 Deluxe include Astrotrain?

Jetfire - Excellent!

Ok UK,

Jetfire is fun but watch those guns on the head, they snap off easy.

That little steamshovel guy, his legs don't stay on, and the tank don't balance well.

Oh, and that helicopter is worthless, except as a victim.

Otherwise,

:grin: ENJOY :grin:

That's my issue with Ultimate Battle Prime. The sentence "Some parts are made to detach if excessive force if applied and are designed to be reattached if separation occurs" doesn't justify how easily this Prime's able to come apart when transforming him.

I've still only seen 1 Jetfire so far. It was on my birthday when I went out to dinner and shopping with Sis. Saw one each of Grimlock and Jetfire. I don't want to go to K-Mart to get Jetfire like I did Grimey if I can help it though. They aren't as bad as KB for over-charging, but if I can get out of paying the extra dollar or so for this one I will.

This is me happy :grin:

Yep, just got jetfire from TrU southampton, it looked like he was the only classic they had - but it was a bit of a jumble sale.

Strange that he comes with a Cybertron leaflet in the pack.

Well now I know why the US is having so much trouble finding Classics Jetfire?

There all in my local TRU, There must be over 20 of him and I have the feeling that it may happen to a fair amount of UK TRUs so it seems we have the lions share of this figure.

Would have got him today but I only had 30 pounds and I finally found Cybertron Quickmix. So had to get him as they only had four, and I've been looking for him for about 6 weeks so I could finally complete all the Cybertron characters.

Back to the bank tomorrow for some more money then Jetfire will be mine.

I finally broke down and bought a classics Jetfire from Ebay.
Probably never see him around here, so I did what I had to do. Gawd I wish we had a TRU near here.

You have got to be **** kidding me! I search every other day for a Jetfire here and yet they're just sitting on shelves in the UK?! Wonderful distribution Hasbro has going.

I can see these becoming shelf warmers which would be tragic for such a great figure.

Hi! :D

I checked my local Woolworths yesterday and they had loads of deluxe classics in stock. All seemed to be wave one though. No sign of Voyager sized figures.
Toymaster had one each of Optimus Prime and Megatron and a few of the mini classics figures.
I didn't get the chance to take a look in Tru.
Still nothing new in Argos.

Busy week for me then. I'll be picking up Star Trek encounters, Escalation#3 and classics bumblebee and astrotrain. And at some point Victory. Yey for the UK! We've finally got some good stuff coming in!
