I was in the same boat 2 years ago, bud...been jonesing for one for ever since.

Oddly enough I looked at ebay to see if I can find one at a decent price just before you posted. No charm though All horrendously overpriced.

Yeah, it was a stroke of luck...most going for around £80 or so which is pretty ludicrous. Hope one turns up for you though!

For all those scavenging for new Generations toys - Trafford Park ASDA has stocked Thrust, WFC Bee, WFC Prime, and Autobot Drift, so check one near you.

Did they have any of the £2.49 NEST deluxe figures left?

Oh Smyths toys are stocking Generation figures @ £9.99 each. ASDA have them @ £12.97

Never seen any NEST deluxes in ASDA to be honest. Tesco yes - plenty of those in Handforth Dean not for £2.49 though.

Nearest Smyths to me is Birmingham, I'll go to Burton instead and pay that extra few quid just to have the toy in hand. Good luck to everyone trying to find them!

Closest for me is Oldham, but as I work in Trafford Centre, ASDA is a no-brainer for me

I'm probably setting myself up for disappointment but to get my hands on Drift would be bloody brilliant.

Power Core Combiners Huffer and Caliburst.
A few thoughts on this new line based entirely on one figure:
[list]I've seen people campare the transformations to those from the Unicron Trilogy; whilst this is true to an extent, do not let it put you off, that level of complexity is perfect at this size. Huffer's transformation has about four steps, but it's so ingenious you don't notice the simplicity.
Having said that, the powercore gimmick can be a bit intrusive, so don't expect these figures to be the greatest on an induvidual level.
I don't have any limb drones yet, but Huffer's torso mode seems pretty solid, and would hopefully grant a combined mode a bit of articulation. Huffer himself is articulated decently.
Caliburst is better than I thought he would be,there are no joints where both parts are transparent, which was my main worry. However, none of his modes lock together much. It's not a huge problem, but there's definately room for improvement.
[/list:u]

Things that only apply to Huffer, look at the bonnet/hood of the truck in package (it's on the robots back) and try and get the yellow painted one, earlier (possibly only american) shipments had it in orange. I wish something else could have been done with the arms in vehicle mode, the block they create takes away from the realism of the truck mode and means Caliburst sits too high in turret mode.

It's been a controversial line, and the first since I started collecting again that I seriously considered skipping, so I hope this (breif?) opinion is helpful in some way. Huffer is recomended.
