The Weirdest thing

Post by JawBreaker » Sat Feb 05, 2005 3:15 pm

I was looking round my local Toy'RUs and i found the strangest things, there were racks apon racks of the micromasters/mincons that make Defencer (Prowl, autobot groove, hot spot, etc).

Needless to say i got the whole set, for £2.99 each I thought it was reasonable.

I was under the impression these where part of the Universe line and so was an american exclusive... Does this mean we are going to get universe devastator in the uk as well, oh btw the boxes they where in where energon not universe.
Crazy huh, yah i thought so.

I heard that the Energon repackaging is a strictly UK thing since Universe isn't really sold.

How was Louisiana, Rib?

if so, then Belgium and Holland are part if the UK :p

I've seen them there as well

and the Tiny Tin Minicons were TFU in the US, Armada over here

occasionally we get the exclusives, but Energon Micromasters at 10 euro a piece??? thats just too crazy, for double that price I can get 12 reissue Takara Micromasters

The Tiny Tins weren't Universe here, they were... a generic RID packaging, much like the G1-colored Spychangers that were in Kay-Bee around here. The only U-spychangers were the RID Prime and UM repaints (with Prowl and Ironhide).
