    Anybody in the market for a MISB MP-18B Bluestreak at all?
    As some of you may know, I had a habit of buying two of everything, one to open and one to keep boxed up which is crazy and I am starting to get rid of the spare ones.
    The first is MP-18B - I think the going rate is around 55 GBP for a minty sealed one so that's the price and of course I will throw in free UK shipping.

    I'm continuing my collection downsizing, and have some Transformers for sale/trade:

    - MP-12 Sideswipe (£40)
    - DOTM Leader Class Ironhide (£70)
    - HFTD / ROTF Battle Ops Bumblebee (£50)
    - ROTF Leader Class Megatron (£40)

    Prices include 2nd class recorded postage within UK, and are negotiable within reason.

    More details and photos on my sales thread: Numbat's sale thread: all sorts of lines & 3P

    I’m probably like a broken record by this point, but I honestly think POTP Jazz is such a good deluxe class figure that it’s be a shame and kind of mad if they didn’t rinse a few more redos from him.
    Just read OP#15 while I was waiting at the barbers (the John Barbers). Really enjoyed it. I know people like to rag on Barber but I’ve always found his stuff very likeable.

    The sweetest part about the new Cellar Door Games release ? To dive in the soundtrack AShellinthePit made for it.
    I LOVE his score for Rogue Legacy so I just can't wait.

    I like his stuff too, some parts kinda annoy me or feel repetitive (mainly some yapping character yapping about someone else repeatedly and ad nausium - Scoop hating on Starscream in Dark Cybertron/ Slick hating on Optimus at the moment) but that hasn't impacted on my enjoyment. Have to also say I think Zama is increasingly pushing her way to the top of my favourite Transformer artist list.

    Really enjoy his takes on Soundwave and Wheeljack in particular!

    That wasn't a bad haul for a character I essentially despise.

    He wasn't much cop as a toy (nice gun/shit robot, nice tank/shit brick, nice Dinosaur/different bloke) and was utterly useless as a cartoon Supervillain. Except He wasn't very super. My abiding memory was that His plans were generally rubbish and His favourite word was "retreat" in the Cartoon - He didn't even have a Skeletor-type cackle to redeem Him. If they had given Him a moustache to twirl it would have come off in his hand. That kind of useless.

    And when He finally did get kiboshed, they cheated and made Him Leonard Nimoy in the Film. Again, a totally different Character.

    Unlike the rest of you I can't look at the MP and take it seriously, either as a representation of the dratted Cartoon or as a character I would give a crap about. It just looks.......goofy. Like all the other big chinned, banana-faced Scooby-do Cartoon-Crap. We just don't get on. Again.

    And yet James Roberts made me like Him. And buy Him. Go figure out that one.

    And then there's Whirl............:D

    Apologies for super-dull question, but does anyone have any tip-offs for faction labels (specifically bad-guys)? I did have a metallic sheet but think it's finished, and I can find very little online / ebay. Are there any UK options, or is this strictly overseas?
    Have vague memory of there being a dedicated thread, maybe. So long ago :) 
    Etc etc

    rest of the decepticons in there :D  again excuse the bad picture it really is impossible to get a clear picture with this phone but once i have done the autobot shelf and the big table in my living room is gone i will get some better pictures with my proper camera which has no batteries at the mo

    enough room for bruticus when one is done i like , also enough room for the xtb stunticons uncombined , blitzwing and astrotrain :D  decided not to put the welcome committee seekers and rainmakers in there they will be going in my smaller display cabinet until i have built a closed box shelf for them to be displayed on their own :)

    If you don't want to gamble on International postage, I believe ID Toys are the official UK dealer of Toyhax labels. While I don't think they do the faction symbol sets, IIRC some orders of a certain value or first time orders may/can come with a sheet of the clear-backed but not transparent mixed faction set that Toyhax stick in with orders over $20? I think I got a set with my Misfire but anyone else who more regularly buys from ID able to confirm this?

    I’ve got a spare set of the faction stickers ID Toys give away you’re welcome to have.
    They hand ‘em out like candy!
