Anni Prime in UK...Not!

[Caken Lagann]

Well having finally plucked up the courage/saved up enough money, I visited and was surprised by my local TRU. I saw the enormous Cybertron Starscream for £49.99 and the first three scouts for £6.99, without any opening offers (which I thought was par for the course now).

But when I inquired about 20th Anniversary Prime they told me they had received a delivery 29th of January 2006 and sold out. I was then told that they were not expecting restocks as they had not had a request returned from head office or got a date for them...

Once again some of us miss out. I hope its just computer error or some sort of mistake, I really do.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaa!

I have not read across any of the TF sites I skim that 20th Anni Prime has shown up in ANY stores ANYWHERE in the UK.

IF he had, IF one box had turned up & some unscrupulous employee had bought the box the fact that there are 60+ TRU's across the UK you would have to expect at least one TF Fan would have noticed them & posted somewhere & from that others would have sited/confirmed reports.

One common theme being reported is that Supreme StarScream & some Deluxes (or was it basics?) have shown up @ TRU.

Hold onto that £50 for now.

Oh & a search for 'prime' on the national car-boot sale that is ebay UK appears to show no 20th Anni pieces. Not scientific I know, but usually a good barometer to whats floating around this fair Isle.

What the?!?!?!?! This better be a sick twisted joke they pulled.

I've checked TRU Cardiff twice this week and nothing there. They had Cybertron Starscream and some of the basics and today they also had Prime in. Cybertron Prime that is.... not the 20th Anni Prime. No reissue's either.

I'm begining to wonder if they're gonna show up at all......

Yup, from repotrs they were not suppose to be turning up at stores till next week at the earliest anyway.

Well I've FINALLY been able to talk to my contact after many months of not being able to.

They know nothing about this current release, that doesn't mean there isn't one, but that the re-marketed Anniversary Prime that's coming out in the USA, was also marketed to the UK.

For those that don't know, An Anniversary Prime description/product code has re-appeared in TRU and Wal Mart's systems recently. Priced at $20 more than it originally was. It is guessed that it is a SLIGHT alteration to the original figure (Anime colours? No battle damage?), and a copy of the original movie on DVD.

Yeah I find that strange aswell, granted there have been no sign of 20th Prime or the supposed G1 re-issues in my local TRU (Dundee). Granted that doesn't mean they wont see them......fingers crossed that we will!

[Minion]

Not being funny but is it really that good a toy that everyone should desperately want it and seemingly be upset if it does/doesnt come out here?

I personally think its a bit of a hunk of crap.

Id rather have lots of little TF than huge big ones.

[Claymore]

Well for me it aint the end of the world if it doesn't come out. It's just I'd rather spend £50 on it from tru, than £100+ on ebay.

My brother checked the system and I saw the entry on the list. Master Caketron, someone told you a fib. It's not supposed to be out yet as its still at the wharehouse. The shipment of new stuff to TRU doesn't get underway until waaay into February (like we are now)

Seriously guys, give it a couple of weeks and he'll be out.

gives me time to get money lol
