At last, I'm watching Beast Machines. May contain spoilers.

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

Glad you enjoyed them. :) Got Galaxy Force aswell, but if anyone wants them they'd have to send me blank DVD's. Upto ep 32 on disc.

The major toy shops had some nice big displays of Galaxy Force in glass cabinets and Toys R Us had about twenty foot dedicated to Transformers. Found a lot of early Robot Masters for dirt cheap, have Beast Convoy, Beast Megatron, G1 Optimus (Convoy) and Starscream, each for about Six Quid. Binaltechs ranged from stupidy cheap, 2000 Yen, to expensive, 8000 Yen for the original Smokescreen. Had to stop myself from buying sonic Bomber and the rest of the new GF figures. New releases generally have upto 30% off the RRP, and cheaper if you shop around. Found lots of Superlink and Micron Legend figures for silly money, Hot Shot for £1.50! Grand Convoy for a fiver. Crazy!!
There is a company called Mandarake that specialise in everything anime etc. I visited one in Shinjuku in Tokyo and another out of town. These places are Transformer heaven, for loose and boxed figures. The one out of town, I forget where, was an entire floor of an indoor market! I was working on a very tight budget, so I had to be carefull of what I bought, but you could spend thousands there. And dont get me started on what I saw of Gundam ...

I have 'em! Really enjoying them, not as deep as Beast Wars but still a lot of really cool moments.

The reason for the delay is that extra DVD with episode 6 on won't work in my machine. Next time I'm at my mum's I'm gonna try it there!

Really? I've always felt that BM was deeper than BW... maybe it's just me.
