I quite like Swindle. I have 3 of them. Started painting one black and I think the other will be purple or turquoise. I'll check Cambridge John Lewis tomorrow to see if these are out here too. Tempted to get another Bumblebee for kitbash purposes, and I need Arcee. Perhaps get Dreadwing too. Nice jet form, kinda lame robot form but sorta charming and nice 'fodder' for Autobots to blast.

Never heard of john lewis, dont think we have em round here. Its stupid how all these smaller chains of shops have better stock than the bigger chains like TRU and whatever.
I want Acree, not bothered about the others though. I already have 08 BB.

John Lewis/Robert Sayle is a chain of generally very large (kinda posh) stores. The Cambridge one moved into a different building temporarily while a new giant building for it is being finished. Which I've applied for four different positions at. I needs the work  |

They're in Cambridge store too. Just bought me Dreadwing, Arcee and another Bumblebee (feel like using it for a repaint or kitbash cos it's such a great mold and for that price). No Swindles, but I got three of those anyways.
Had about six Bumbles left after I took one.

They own Waitrose and have been about for about 150 years. Still not anywhere near the size of TRU on toy buying power, granted! i like the sound of that Arcee too, think I might get one. |

Strange at first but really grew on me. Gonna repaint the face details to be more accurate to the packaging art though. Which just looking at it now, the face art is not on the british packaging at all. Might just be the US or Jap one. We seem to just get a picture of the figure's robot mode instead of the head picture. |

Thats how much the Essex area sucks you see. If they are so posh then its no surprise theres no stores around this craphole area.  |

None in Liverpool John Lewis either. Some titaniums (Magnus and Megatron) and thats about it. Couldnt see an official place to announce my joining of the forum - so - hello All!! I hail from wonderful Runcorn (Cheshire), am the wrong side of 30  and started collecting again with the movie toys and am now going back to collect Alternators (very cool, but tricky to find!).

Hi Guys. Me again.
Went into the John Lewis in Nottingham again today. And managed to pick up a Bonecrusher this time. only £6.95
I also popped into the Entertainer where they had loads of Bonecrushers and Swindles in. But they are selling at £10 each.

Ya b'stard!  Taking all four? That's just being greedy!! Anyway, just got back from the same store and what did I find...... Bugger all! Well, bar the three Starsceam proto's.  Asked if any more out the back,... No joy. Asked when they were expecting their next delivery.... OCTOBER!!!!! (According to their computer) Anyway, I had a cunning plan to take advantage of the bargain price. I bought a Screamer and plan to take it back to Argos when they get some new un's in stock and exchange it!! ;D |
