F*****ts! Sorry Lock, no disrespect or anything, but why the funk do we have to wait for stuff forever in the UK? Is the new MOTU stuff out over there?

I don't know as I don't collect anything else other than Transformers except for the occasional wrestling figure but I think they are because I over heard one of the guys in a comic shop I frequent talking about MOTU.

Hey, no biggy. I collect some wrestling figures, too, if I like 'em enough.. bought all of the ToyBiz WCW/nWo figures when they were out, own close to all the Hasbro WWF and some of Jakks' WWF Finishing Moves/Bone Crunchers.

At the moment? I collect G1 reissues, Armada, BW (Japanese), MOTU, G.I.Joe Vs. Cobra and Marvel/DC superheroes.

Grimlock: Where did you see them, I was in the City (melbourne) yesterday, and couldn't Find any.
I have only seen some at the Kmart at Westfield Doncaster, and there was only like 5 megatrons 2 demolisers and the missle laucher minicons, not Starscream or the Street Action team who are the ones that I am looking for... and Optimus cost Like $100 if you want to add him too the list.

Yeah I was supposed to update the list with Prime, but I didn't cause he was found a day after I posted it and I forgot to do it lol. I have bought him now anyway.

Starscream and Red Alert seem to be the most elusive of the toys, Chadstone and Campelfield(respectivly) were the places I got mine. As for all the toys nearly all K-Marts and Targets have them in stock now, and some Toys R Us' have them as well. I'v seen them at Chadstone, Northland, Campelfield and Epping, and apparently Southland as them as well. Scavenger was also found last week in a Toy Wolrd, can't remember where though. lol

Well, yesterday while I was in the CBD, I went to Toys R Us, Myer and the Target Centre.
Found heaps of RiD Optimus. ToysRUs has a repaint Prowl, and Target has a Grimlock Combiner. No Armada at all.

Guess I'll have to scrounge around the 'burbs then.

Yeah Target in Bourke Street is really taking it's time. Don't expect the Toys R Us in Melbourne Central to get any either because that store is closing down sometime in January.

The Target store at the Pines, at the end of Blackburn Rd in East Doncaster or there abouts has:

Optimus
Megatron
Scavenger
Lazerbeak

some others.
They HAD a Starscream, but not any more
