    Can recommend fully, the Wheelie and Broadside I got off this guy are both top quality, and he seems like a top bloke! Plus, it came with another Crashbash! Given how he's my second in a week, looks like I'm going Shapeways hunting for an alternate face! Any suggestions of people who might know a thing or two about those?

    Kapow'll likely have them up as general stock once they have their pre orders fulfilled and out of the door post Bank Holiday weekend. They went straight from pre order to out of stock so I would recommend keeping an eye on the site.

    Thanks for the kind feedback, folks - should have also added the PotP dinobots in the sales pics but I'll probably end up sticking those on eBay as a lot.

    Sorry mate, did an MP clear out a few months ago and they were gone then. Of the ones I currently have MP10 and 36 are the ones I could let go off, guilt-free, more or less :)

    Did someone say Alternity? The poster boy for these is the GT-R, which got about 8 colour options, four regular (red, silver, black and white) and four rally (Fort Max green, Star Saber red, Megatron silver and... a blue one... Dai Atlas maybe?). Personally, I prefer the 350Z Megs but that's an unpopular opinion... and so is my love for the Alternity Seekers. I have all four of these and love them. They can be a pain to transform and the door/hip skirts WILL pop off every time and the rear number plate will seek freedom at every opportunity, but they are so fantastically alien. They also have echoes of Car Robots Mach/Prowl which I really appreciate.

    ..... Did I miss something?

    A very busy weekend working, exacerbated by the fact that the trains are more screwed than Scrounge in Darkmount....I don’t know if any of you fine folk tried to get from the counties to London over the last two days; but what a pavlova! If there had been actual pavlova it would have been so much better!

    Would you believe I’ve still not got the POTP wave 2 stuff yet?! I totally cocked up my order and ordered the Deluxes, Voyagers AND the George Michael Rodimus all at once...

    I’ve touched base with Kapow towers, thinking that I’d left them with part of an order sat on a shelf taking up needless space, if we all did that they’d have no room! Andy being the true gent said it’s no bother and offered me a couple of solutions for part shipping. However I decided that I’d caused them enough of a headache already and will just take the delay and not further admin.

    Oops.

    I loved the Alternity line. Those 4 racing livery versions were just amazing. The earlier versions were where I started to take photos of robots seriously.

    Oh go on then, you can have Leader Starscream for £60 or Gundam MG Sinanju for £55.

    Loved the Alternity Optimus Prime. Loved the seekers too, but I could never actually finish the transformation.

    Now to jump through some logical hoops to rationalise why I just had to spend £40 on a pair of Legends and some guns, and I'm home free!

    Thanks!

    I'll wait until I've settled in before I start pitching ferret based fund raising ideas :D 

    Is that MP Grimlock's drinks tray you've painted up? Looks great!

    If there's one playset that should be made from IDW it's Swerve's place, but I imagine we'll have to get through a dozen different versions of Teletraan-1 in varying scales before a 3rd party has a try. I think MMC should include segments of it with upcoming Reformatted figures.

    Anybody fancy Iron Factory’s Lord Scorpion?

    He’s got a little scuff on his foot, unnoticeable when posed. Otherwise excellent condition, never transformed.

    £50 posted. :)

    Mrs. Boc has had a bit of a mare travelling to and from a hen do in Blackpool cause of the trains. To make matters all the more fun, the hotel they stayed in had bed bugs, so I've been instructed to enforce quarantine procedures when picking her up from the airport. My car looks like Dexter's kill room right about now....

    Goth Rodney sure is dragging his heels. Munky prime will arrive before him at this rate. Typical moody teenager!!

    Hasn't been painted, think the light just caught it weird! But yeah a swerve bar would be awesome!
