Remember there is the upcoming Takara reissue, it's probably the cheapest way to get him now.

 

You can try to ask the delivery people to recover it for you or give you a gps location for where it was delivered.

I was in the same boat but recovered the item by canvassing all the addresses in my area with leaflets.

Turned out the items was a bead necklace NOT Sever... so I filed with eBay and got my money back.

If you can’t locate the original item your only hope would be to say they delivered the wrong item but this would be slightly dishonest!

Otherwise your out. Sucks but this is the way scammers are going these days!

 

That's why I mentioned sub-£200, Phill, even being cheaper than £300 for an original at £225 it's above my "Nope" Threshold, I'm afraid. Bet it has the full voice chip still too!

EDIT:

Speaking of bases, it's got me thinking when it comes to bases the Decepticons have dominated the line because, out of the 5 Waves of Leaders we got, only the first two were Autobases!
Now I realise that the Hasbro official line is "Connect 'Em All!" but if you want to make an Autobot City with no character dupes (so ignoring Magnus Prime/Ginrai) but including the box sets that's only 3 Leader class fellas to expand poor Max!

Christ, my inner eight-year-old is trying to talk me into buying a 'Plex, isn't he?

 

It’s a great idea, though a wee bit of a gash sculpt  

@bcm77 sorry to hear of your woes brother, hope some of the friendly comments on here are some comfort

 

I'll contact the couriers and ask about gps location tomorrow.

did you mean you left leaflets all in your area about your missing parcel?

 

I put little notes through all the letter boxes. It worked though!

 

Some custom painted details are hard...

...others are wheel-y easy!

I'll try this!

 

New toys!

Did someone say filthy KO? This MF'er is a KO Gravity Builder member from our favourite seller hzj401 (him of cheap TR Legends fame).

For just over £11 this guy is perfect. Just over carbot size to boot. Will certainly be keeping an eye on the other members of the team.

 

Nitro Zeus is quite the figure. Absolutely dripping with kibble in both modes but somehow he makes it work. Bloody awkward transformation though.

Bad news is that he's literally the first body on which Apeface doesn't look right, which worried me for a while, until I tried Clobber... who's an exquisite fit. If I can't get my hands on Scorponok-head Clobber will definitely be a permanent fixture. Now I just need a name for the completed 'bot.

Thanks for reminding me about him - just picked up Mech Fans Toys Ultra Magnus for my lad for about a tenner!  

 

He also came with a little hand written note to say not to use too much force as they are fragile.

He seems pretty solid. My 6 year old and 4 year old sons were playing with the hand/trailer earlier on and it's manages to survive. All is good.

 

The sprog has assumed command of Trypticon!!! Feeding Titanmasters and getting them to land inside Full-Tilt is now a legitimate game. I'm never getting this fucking toy back!!! This is not a drill!!!!!!

 

That's good news for me - my lad (7 next week) loved my MP Magnus - so hoping this one will pacify him!

It would appear TF parenting is being done right in our green and pleasant land.

 

Sorely tempted to click n' buy now but I'm hoping Andy still has him in stock when Grotusque goes up for a nice double whammy of pure awesome TFery.
Instead I have bought a T-shirt, some Nonnef Blurr n' Brainstorm gun spares and those hips I wasn't gong to get for Motormaster from the Mighty Morg.

 

Heh, so after being curiously dissuaded by myself to pass on the remaining DX9 Dinonots, and even considering selling the first three, I now find myself needing them to complement.. well, we all know who cos I won't fucking stop going on about him.

What my collection clearly requires is a robosaurian regiment rather than rationalising and reassessing such foolish folly as focus.

Really want that UT Lockdown though.. can only drop cash on one or the other.

 

He is awesome! Though the pistons on the shoulders are kind of annoying

 

Thanks, I didn't really feel too comfortable about reaching out in such a way but I needed a fresh perspective on what to do to change things and had nowhere else to turn.

That several people responded in a polite, understanding and above all else constructive way instead of trying to belittle me says much for their humanity. Going forward I will remember that as I try and take some of the steps suggested to me and make the changes I need to.

 

I had the EXACT SAME THING!!!      

Also, I finally opened MMC's Oberon, and oh my fecking gawd, I was not expecting to be blown away at all. Those colours, that headsculpt....wow.



All the best
