    You might find the people complaining don't have access to Toyworlds (and the equivalents). I have this feeling that NSW doesn't have any.

    Toyworlds are the stores I'm staking out to see if they get TF:Prime toys in. No luck so far.

    That is a very good idea Paul. When I bought SS Grappel there were heaps on the shelf at Toyworld. There were also heaps of Lugnuts.

    due to the lack of stock out there, i finally can put up an acquisition for the first time in 2 months ( thanks Hasbro )!!!

    was in k-mart and was disapointed at the same old same old, when i thought i would just have a rummage in the shelves and Behold someone had put the Lunar Crawler Cyberverse set up the back and underneath some (3) BB and (1) Shockwave Cyber sets.

    And also got it for $13.75, it was the only one there.

    the torture of others sparks is music to my sensors!!!

    I had IDW trades of Bumblebee, Drift, Ironhide, Volume 4: Heart of Darkness, and Volume 5: Chaos Theory delivered from the Book Depository.
    Still waiting on Volume 2 and 3 to arrive (they were sent 2 days later), while I have 6 and 7 on pre order.

    Nabbed a copy of Robots in Disguise comic #1.

    Seems the comics are going to keep me interested in the franchise for the foreseeable future with two outstanding series and a tolerable one all out at once!

    I wasn't going to say anything but yes, this thread is starting to resemble a Zork text adventure.

    Indeed, Arcee has been quite a big help on the subject; the current 'new' Ongoing's is indeed what I was referring to though.

    If you mean the Marvel stuff - IDW has sorta done it (had to skip the Marvel issues containing marvel characters) and are doing them again (with those issues re-inserted) but the colouring is.....well, it's not for everyone. Some people strongly prefer the Titan tpbs. I personally have both, and I like the matte paper on IDW better, but the colour reproduction on Titan more, so I don't really know how that balances out? At the moment, I'm giving the IDW reprints a fair go, and reading the first volume of US (They're also doing the UK material in Classics too. Some stuff Titan never did, which is great).
    Checkout my collection here man (3rd last pic), I think you'll be proud ; Have you got the B&W Titan Reprints? - It's my understanding they collect the the very tail-end of the UK stuff - worth obtaining in your opinion?

    I can't wait for Earthforce at full size, colour be damned. (Hopefully they'll leave them black and white, but who knows. That's a way off, anyway).
    Colour is great, but so can B&W and especially if the line-art is good.

    That's sad to hear, I was extremely lucky with my own; both in acquistion (Courtesy of Zippo ) and in production quality.

    You're spot on there man, we have very few indeed.
