So are they not coming to the US? It's no real loss as I don't think NightWatch Prime would sell andyway, but...

Um...nowhere on the packaging does it say that Bumblebee is free. This is merely a simple 2-pack. Nothing special about it, other than being exclusive to Argos.

So, you're paying seven more over a Voyager's price. You're still getting Bumblebee at a discount. Most 2-packs do that. Except TRUs...they charge full price for their's.

Says so in this link buddy...

That clearly isn't the correct 2-pack.

Here's some pics of the actual 2-pack, that we thought they were talking about:

Which is clearly different from what Argos is selling.

That might explain why it's so expensive.

The 2-pack I just showed you, will probably have a slightly higher price than that of a Voyager, but not a full $30.00 (USD)

I wonder what stores outside the USA will pick this set up.

If it's 08 bumbles and a decent price, I may pick this up. Damn plastic crack addiction.

You can't trust Argos for the images on the website or the catologue. You should always get a product viewing before buying anything you're unsure about.

EDIT: the website says Voyager Optimus Prime as the title. There is no mention of BB which makes me think it's just normal voyager Prime with a free carded BB (probably old version) stuck along with it. Yes, Voyagers can be £24.99 in some shops.

In the actual catalogue it says Optimus Voyager plus Bumblebee deluxe £24.99 it also says 'Available August'

I reserved the nightwatch leader prime online earlier, picking it up tomorrow, my wife is buying it for me the downside of that is i have to wait until my birthday..... the 30th of August

Im sure its been mentioned before but you get a free bumblebee poster with the leader figures and some of the other stuff too.A 'lenticular' poster that changes from car to robot apparently.

The catalogue itself has a small picture of prime on the front

Apollogies if ive related info that has already been posted im pretty tired!!

Haven't picked up the new catalogue so I didn't know that. Perhaps it is the proper 2 pack then?

Hey everyone,
Just to let you all know that it is the twin pack that is available at Argos. How do I know? Cos i bought one today. For some reason though it is in American packaging not European.

Can you please post pics man?

Greatly appreciated

I believe they import the Argos Exclusive products from Hasbro US.

Here's a pic (I hope!)

Excellent, exactly what I wanted, now when is this coming to the States!!!

Dammit!

I have to go get one now. I'm low on cash, I can't afford this! But I want it!

So is this the Voyager Prime which has the G1 colouring, i.e. no flames?

If so, then I am off to Argos after work!!

I never noticed that, but it looks like you are right. Can we confirm please?

Aww dang it. Now I want it more so.

I checked all my local stores, not one has any in stock. 5 stores checked.

looks like the standard version of Voyager Prime.

I think you are right, I see flames on his right leg.

I can confirm that he does have flames, however they are not so prevalent in robot mode

I ordered this from the Argos web site last night and they have emailed me to confirm delivery on Tuesday morning between 7am and 1pm.
If you are wanting it that much (and I know the 08BB is like hens teeth) then go to the site and order it now. you do have to pay £4.95 shipping though. As someone else posted here, most stores do not have them in stock yet. I tried all stores in about a 30 mile radius from my home.

I've already posted this in another thread but for anyone who's interested I've got a pic of the Nightwatch Prime here:

Nice picture cheers!

I cant wait to get my hands on my Nightwatch, he is currently under the bed in the babies room and i cant have him until the
30th when its my birthday. I'l be 32...its so great being a kid again!! (not that being a collector of such fine items makes you a kid, im refering to the excitement of childhood type things and getting those teenage years out of the way when i lost interest etc.!!)
