    More Gobots! Shut up. You love them.
    Fitor (FITOR!!!) is the only new one to my collection, I've just upgraded my discoloured Leader-1 and my one armed Royal-T. Though that Royal-T is missing his little tail fins and the one armed one has them. I need to get my precision screwdriver out and frankenstein some of these lads together.

    I've just been looking at pics of Toy World's Exhaust and the first tease for Wheeljack and am very impressed by the level of detail they've managed to put onto the figures as both car modes have a much more accurate deco to the real world cars on which they were based than even the Masterpiece figures.

    Obviously not giving a shit about IP theft has helped them achieve this but I'm pleasantly surprised they've gone that route instead of the cartoon look that has become the default setting for most companies doing original G1 characters.

    @MyTea Boc,
    Some of the rabbits are lovely, but there's several bastards as well....I have been looking at crafting options on Red Dead 2 to see if some sort of dart or arrow to stun them is an option :D 

    The only problem I have with guinea pigs is a fun one as they're very fast and scuttle under stuff when I'm trying to pick them up but it's good for sharpening the reflexes :D

    Does anyone else think Ravage looks like he's wearing a Slanket?

    I mean I'll still get him despite loving the TR Longcat.

    Also anyone else feel Hasbro's missed a trick by not keeping the Decoy's 3mm fists on the Battle Masters?

    I think Ravage needs to lose the saddlebags. Think I'll be swerving him, thanks, and if Starscream is as fugly as he appears in prototype and the early images I'll be swerving him too. "If we don't have stickers we can have less hollows and more detailing"....I'd rather have the fucking stickers mate, at least they're removable!

    Noooooooooooooooooo!

    Well I’m pretty sure that matrix lookin thing can take the watches place, but that is a bummer if the watch isn’t included in the wider release

    The shape of those legs makes me think there's a Blaster in the pipe for the next chapter after Siege and a Steeljaw from this Ravage to go with him.

    Anyone fancy buying this legendary Optimus prime off me? Spectacular figure, but a computer fuck up means I now can't afford to keep him. Comes with box, never even transformed. £50 +p&p so it's £10 less than I got it for from kapow last week

    Their past few releases have shipped out riddled with QC issues and tolerance nightmares, leading to them having to issue fixes in post, and losing favour with Kapow and the like for their practices. As they put it, you pay premium prices, so you should expect a premium product.

    Had a storm earlier and it has moved off. Though since my bamboo forest pathway is a small stream currently, I thought I would take advantage of the moment.
