    Have you got a TR Fort Max, Az? If so @Trentulas's Cerebros Gun was a must for me.

    Even in the pricey (but worth it!) BHDA it's still cheaper than getting your mitts on a G1 version, plus it's been rescaled to the current Cerebros.

    If not, then it's still worth a look through Trent's 5mm arsenal for your Bot Armoury, I reckon.
    Also if you want to peruse the cream of the crop I'd say also check out Ariel's Customs (which is our ol' pal on the indie 3P front AKA Fakebusker) and Steam Shield's Bot Foundry.
    If you can really splash the cash Rocket Punch Garage has some simply stunning CHUG guns that I just can't justify the cost of meself though, still worth admiring from a distance.
    As for MP upgrades, I'm afraid I lack the knowledge and the experience there.

    More proof Tryptie's size is pretty bang on!

    Very good if you both to say :) 

    There's no particularly 'high-end' stuff in there, all mass-retail releases. Hopefully I'll do some shelf pics once it's done!

    I think you could be onto something there!

    I'm now halfway through The Defenders and am finding Luke to be a bit more intresting now he's got other characters to banter with, Danny's still in "not really sure" territory for me and I still can't stand Jessica Jones.

    @we are forest,
    Have a great birthday!

    Anyone used the ebay seller fenglulu2011?
    I have the feeling someone here recommended him @incapable hulk maybe?
    I ordered some TR Clones from him and after a few weeks I think I'm about to be scammed and given the run around. Only just got the tracing number from him and either he didn't send them or only just has. His items are so low I think he's about to pull a runner. Which would be the second one this month! From the only 2 purchases on ebay I've done this month! :mad: 

    Happy Birthday @we_are_forest

    Looks cool. Pretty sure I have an old shapeways gun somewhere which looks like Cerebros. But it would never get held much. years ago I brought several from an eBay USA seller before I knew more. Cost a bomb!

    I have several fakebuster things but my issue is getting around to building them. I have the TFP Megatron gun and thinking of selling it unused.
    Some recommendations I can think of are pincers for FP Shrapnel, hard smoke stacks for TFP Optimus and the hands for legends Fixit

    Ah so it was your fault! Lol did you get it in the end though?
    Claiming right now will do no good. I've got a tracking number which maybe doing something and he answered my message quickly so he's doing what eBay wants.
    But selling MPP10 for £25? C'mon.

    I'm still getting my other claim looked at several weeks later from PayPal through a definite scammer so if that is a bitch this would be worse. People's experiences with PayPal seem to vary a lot!
