Transformers Collectors’ Club have done it again! What an amazing treat for Transformers fans! I’m kidding of course.

Such a high standard in fact that Hasbro and/or TakaraTomy [...]
The Entertainer at the new Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush, London, has Premium Movie Voyager Ironhide and Blackout for £12. Get them while they’re hot!
