New additions are Energon Demolishor, G1 reissues of Rodimus Prime and Dirge and Universe figures Skywarp (BM Deluxe Jetstorm repaint), Triceradon (Dinobot Triceradon repaint) and King Atlas.

Toys R Us Update
Went into Toys R Us in Southampton the other day just to check it out. For those who don’t know, the Powermaster Prime reissue with the God/Apex Bomber trailer is out in the UK. People have mentioned it here, but there was no formal announcement, so here’s one now! The other figures of note were thre Destruction Scourge and Bludgeon figures. As these were KB Toys exclusives in the US, it was doubted that we woyld ever see them here, as we have no branches of KB over here in the UK. Well, they’re here and they’re not that bad. PM Prime will set you back £40 while the Destruction figures were £10 each.
