Even if the toys are better

I mentioned before that I was looking forward to the toys from the Transformers movie.

I called in to Smyths and saw the following...

Yup the movie toys have started to come out.

Which means the "stop gap" classics line is finished. So I'll have to use eBay to search for Mirage, Grimlock and the other 2 waves of minicons which was supposed to come out over here.

Not even Optimash makes up for it... see


Why do I hear a wallet crying?

Transforming

Personally I'm glad that the new Transformers movie (the International trailer, with different jokes to the US one). Not for the actually movie. Blarneyman points out that the script (or at least the first draft) is a load of... blarney.

However, I've see the toys based on the movie. Just look at the new Optimus Prime which will be hitting the shelves in the US on June 2, despite the fact that some of them are on sale already.

I want. I want. Needless to say, you probably don't want to see the toys, which are of Alternator quality, if you don't want spoilers.

However could someone let me know which toys are going to be on sale in Ireland so I don't have to do the e-bay search again?

p.s. I don't know if the musician Deceptikon has anything to do with the toys

What the best dressed spartan is wearing

No doubt the 300 movie has had an effect on most people. Usually that effect is wondering why there wasn't a pool given that most of the cast was running around in trunks and a thin layer of CGI baby oil.

By accident I discovered what Spartan King Leonidas and the Greece Hoplite / Spartan warriors should have been wearing.

Not as sexy, but the six-pack is still there, metal but there.
On the other hand, who would pay €50 for an Action Man? And this is coming from the guy with the Transformers collection.
