Every now and then members of AcToys post
images of their Transformers collections, as well as other items they collect. Yesterday was no different with member Cyclonus posting images of his Transformers and Gundam collections. The interesting part of this are the sheer number of fake / knock-off Transformers, mainly G1 and some which you may not have seen before (purple Grimlock).
It's worth having a look at.

The SDCC exclusive toys are on Hasbro toyshop, $24.99 for Rodimus and $14.99 for Menasor.
Alternator Rodimus has already sold out, but there are
Titanium Menasor's still available.
Unfortunatley the store only accepts US addresses, so if you're not in the US you'll have to rely on eBay.

The folks at Cybertron.ca have a
discussion thread concerning a scam running through Walmart chains in Canada, at Keele and Lawrence. The scam consists of :-
- Scammer buys a Voyage Transformers figure
- Scammer replaces the toy with a large jet fighter, placing Decepticon stickers on it
- Scammer returns the toy to the store of a refund
- The item is placed back for sale
It's very similar to scams shown on The Real Hustle, so be warned.

I contacted
Argos regarding the Optimus Prime Voyager and Bumblebee Deluxe Value Pack (
Argos Exclusive), item number 370/6002 to find out when the item will be released. I also asked for information on the case breakdown of their Voyager and Deluxe cases. Unfortunatly they consider the breakdowns to be sensitive information, even though their customers will have to ask if they wish to choose which item to pick up, however they did tell me that the Optimus Prime / Bumblebee value pack should be available around the middle to end of September.
For a
complete listing of the Transformers items in the new Argos catalogue, please read our
older news report.

Seibertron are
reporting that the SDCC exculsive Titanium Menasor toy, black repaint of Rodimus, is sold out. Later in the day they updated the story with the news that Hasbro are selling limited numbers of each item every day, to try and spread the amount out, so there could still be toys available.

Hong Kong kitbash site
I-Workshop have a really nice gallery of an impressive kitbash of Transformers Movie Blackout into what they call Blades. The toy bares more than a passing resemblance to Evac, Hasbro's Blackout repaint.
