Hey all,
So my little fella has gotten into Transformers (like his Daddy before him - yay!
) and wants some for his birthday as he loves that Angry Birds Transformers game. He's looking for Soundwave and Starscream in particular (or Star-ice-cream as he calls him.. he is only almost 4! 
) and I had a quick look on Amazon for ideas but thought I'd ask here.
Preferably G1-style and colours but also simple enough to transform and not TOO expensive given his age. I'll give him a few years before he's up for Masterpiece level stuff Any suggestions appreciated! 0 -

If you're close enough and can manage it.
Bring him to Dublin City comics and let him go through the second hand boxes.
Trip to the store should be fun without a toy buying at the end of it.
The Combiner wars figures might just be a little too complicated for them.
But the Rescue Bots line might be worth a look.
There is a Starscream Mr. potato head out there as well.0 -

Unfortunately bringing him to Dublin City Comics isn't a runner as he's at the other end of the country
But I did swing by Smyths Carrickmines this afternoon and picked him up a few of the Rescue Bots and a Steeljaw (as he wanted one of those too)
I was kinda tempted by the Skywarp I saw too but at €63 I had to remind myself these are for him, not his daddy :P0 -

Update.. So in the end as well as the 2 Rescue Bots and the Steel Jaw, I got him a Voyager FOC Soundwave and a Robot Masters Starscream
Both pretty cool and reasonable at about €65 for both.. I kinda want a Starscream myself now though 0 -

theres seems to be some sort of fight going on between amazon and one of its sellers in relation to the platinum edition trypticon.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRANSFORMERS-Platinum-Edition-Trypticon-Figure/dp/B014KEWJQY/ref=pd_ybh_a_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0888ZDYSB1MZV09X1PR8
theyve been slashing the price day after day. at the time of posting its gone from about 100 STG to now 75 STG.
I missed out on him last time when he was 78 STG so dived in to get him at 82 STG.when amazon counterd a drop to 85 .
Dunno how low he's gonna go but the balls in amazons court to counter the last drop from the other retailer. either way its good news for us.

seen brawl in smyths in fonthill so the whole gangs gotta be coming.
they didnt have any sky reign limbs though.
also the voyager torso's are going for 15.50 which is great. they look to have got new shipments of em in too as they had the first hot spot ive seen in ages . onslaught scattershot and silverbolt were there too
been thinking of getting a superion so now looks the time to pick up a cheap silverbolt. it makes me chuckle to see him going for less than one of his arms.
when i was in tallaght last they had battlecore op back in too. i presume that'd have to be half price too.0 -

Limb are down to 14.50 in Blanch.
Be a good time to pick up an entire combiner for less than 75 quid.
Which may be what I did for Bruticus even thou I have the Unite warriors one on the way.

Smyths in Limerick has them in stock as well, both voyagers and all 4 Deluxes, although the stock seemed fairly limited.
ditto for smyths in tallaght , but theyve no blurs.
the head on galvatron looks a bit naff TBH , BUT the rest of him is kick arse IMO so i can see myself getting him.
as an aside theres bugger all combiner wars stuff left in terms of limbs. in tallaght they only had sunstreakers , one mirage and one ironhide.
that said they look alright next to each other in terms of scale. i was comparing a sunstreaker and a hardhead and all i could think of was "we were THIS close to a IDW Headmaster sunstreaker"
on the price point €23 aint that far away from €21.99 that the CW limbs went for. but i agree its pricey and as the latter went to €14.50 i can see a drop for the TR stuff down the line.
gotta say though this line is the first in an age where i really want to pick up most of it. that scourge is really nice and while ill pass on alot of the legends and leader stuff i can see myself gettting all the deluxes.0 -

had a root around smyths in fonthill today (had to get out of the fecking sun ! ) and all theyve got left of the first wave is one sentinel prime.....
....they DO have 2 leader blasters and 2 leader powermaster optimus primes though.
61.99 a piece . so i presume theyre in all the other stores by now.0 -
-
on the price issue i reckon its only a matter of time before they go the same way as the leaders in combiner wars.
so if your patient (and theyre still knocking about) ya should be able to get em for 42 or so with the deluxes going for 15.
ive no prob with characters thatve never been headmasters getting the titan treatment either. hell if anything its given us stuff like blur and scourge with a really nice head sculpt.
the main concern i have with em TBH is how they impact the comics as theyve built an entire universe at IDW thats incompatible with whole swathes of it. galvatron in particular is problematic as his whole backstory makes him the last guy to submit to the process.
i trust the creators there but hasbro mandates have buggered up storylines before at em. fingers crossed itll go ok.
and hell i GOTS to see what theyve got instore with trypticon 0 -
