    just to slap in an update was in smyths in fonthill and theyve got 3 of the four terrorcons limbs in (blot, sinnertwin, and cutthroat)

    no sign of Hungrrr but i reckon its only a matter of time as it'd be a bit daft to release the limbs without the body. they do have a rake of infernos .

    no sign of snarl or sludge though.


    EDIT.

    Oh by the way KAPOW have got those reissued legends LG-EX metroplex's in

    https://www.kapowtoys.co.uk/transformers-legends-lg-ex-metroplex-reissue-4890.html

    with postage he's costing circa €285 which is really good value compared to what amazon is selling the hasbro release for. if you fancy taking a chance on him its prob worth watching to see if they do a sale down the road with him.

    i checked smyths website as well and they have both ellita and hun gurrr listed. now we know from past experience that doesnt guarentteee anything, but with the limbs out it bears good for a release.

    Kinda late arrival to this section of the forum, never even knew it existed. I was a massive Transformers G1 fan in the 80s growing up, and had every notable TF toy I could find locally - maybe 50-60 figures. The first one I ever got was (I think!) around 1984, when I was 6 - I saw Warpath in a shop and thought it looked cool. After that I was hooked on Transformers.

    Even got my hands on some (e.g. Constructicons/Devastator) which weren't sold locally, but via a specialised toy importer who was about 30 mins away and who brought them in from abroad - these were the original green ones from USA, not the yellow UK Hasbro re-release which came out later.Had a school friend who lived in USA for 2yrs with his family in primary school, and when he came back he had Soundwave & Ravage, Blaster, Omega Supreme and a few others we couldn't buy locally. Had great fun trading some with him.

    Unfortunately I got rid of most of my G1 toys when I was a teenager and now regret it hugely!

    I hate the term 'man cave' but I have such a room in my house, so have decided recently to get a few decent TF models/toys again - can't imagine my wife would put them on a shelf anywhere else so this is my safe space to do so :pac:

    Have started off with this Generations Power of the Primes Optimus Prime figure. Hoping to pick up Megatron next. Like many, I'm not a fan of Bay's redesigns and IMO the G1 design (or at least influenced by G1 designs) aesthetics are the purest.

    Transformers are that thing if you had as a child you don't seem to grow out of. Well, that's what I tell the other half. :)

    Dublin city comics are having a half price sale on their second hand figures at the moment. So plenty of Robots on that list.
