    I sold pretty much your listed items this year---Sideswipe is the only one I kept. Part emotional attachment, part "cba to part with him at such a lower price".

    Prowl used to command 50-60 earlier in the year but the Plus version has dropped his price to 30-40ies.

    Wheeljack I think I sold for...50ish, with him holding in the 40-50ies.

    Bumblebee should net you 30-40.

    With the Plus versions and reissues for some of them, most MPs don't seem to hold their value as much as they did in January this year.

    Hmm, I know they hold records for beards of bees, I wonder if anyone holds a record for a beard of ferrets?

    Rippersnapper came today, so now Abominus is complete! Has anyone else had any tabbing issues with Rippersnapper? The bot mode hips prevent the top of his lower legs staying put in beast mode. I don't know whether to send down the hip, the tab, or just leave it be as he's going to be spending most of his time as an arm :lol 

    Also on a completely unrelated note, my predictive text has now decided to keep trying to change my wife's name to Satan. I think it might be onto something there....

    Soon going to be time for bots of the year. ......

    Looking forward to seeing who's on the nice list.

    Anyone think we might be on for Shockwave pre Christmas?
    @Underlord they must both be paid in human suffering so easy mistake to make.

    I can 1-UP you Broot, I paid £70 to Kapow for MP12, only to see it get reduced a couple of weeks later... but was still happy to move him on, as he covered most of the cost to upgrade to the + version.

    Excellent result all round!

    HT Star Wars is probably the rabbit hole of all 1:6 rabbit holes,

    I got out quickly when I realised that my love for the franchise just wasn't there any more so if you're still into it then be even more careful as there's a shitload of incredible figures as well as some odd ones like the chocolate brown chrome Stormtrooper variant and the ANH Han Solo with a crap likeness that is a tradition for every SW figure line ever :D 

    @Underlord,
    If there is a record for a beard of ferrets and it's more than one I'll be surprised...and impressed!

    I got Magic Square Sideswipe in the post today and he's very nice, I'm really intrested to see how their Sunstreaker looks and am very on board for their Stunticons.

    I got so excited at the possibility of a TR Frenzy, and now I realise how bastard hard it'll be to nab a TR Rumble to go with him, ARGH!

    Hi folks. Don't check into TFW often, but when I do I try to check out this thread!

    Just a note to anyone interested in loose (but box fresh) bots from the Velocitron set. I picked up a couple of sets for myself and a pal when in Home Bargans getting a giant stuffed elf for another friend (best xmas gift ever...). I have the following 3 up for grabs (sorry...keeping a hold of the other 2!), don't want to gouge so suggest the following (including postage, materials, yadda yadda):

    Quickswitch £13
    Laser Prime £13
    Fastclash £8

    Happy to combine the three for £25 posted (or combine any two). PM me if interested for paypal details.

    In other news- jumped on the ebay code to order up MMC Vos from Netclow. Normally would't chance international seller but have seen good reviews of him around these parts.

    Have also done a bit of CBT in the past following some mild PTSD in 2011. Worked a treat for me to organize / process my thoughts and provide some space to breath. It was around then I got back into TF's, don't want to get too deep and meaningful, but I do wonder given some of the recent comments in this thread and previous watching of Ben's Collectibles if stressful event / mental health is a reasonably common factor for some of us TF nerds. Best of luck @Rotorstorm and the rest.

    Good LORD, Lads! That's a lotta toy!
    Gotta say the Cog-ish Roller + roving Combat Deck combo really tickles me fancy! Cartoon Logos not so much though I'm sure a crisp Toy deco version is Inevitable, good job this thing is way above my paygrade!

    Spike has a turning head. Hmmm. I wonder if one of those heads can fit mp10. And if they, and the humans, would appear separate on ebay?



    Q
    Do we know when that frenzy is out? I know he's on argos but out of shops at all stores.


    What....? I'm not asking for my completed classics collection. These are bumblebee movie toys. They're for my movie shelf. :D

    It’s unquestionably beautiful. But also if initial pricing is to be believed, unjustifiably expensive.

    Prime looks great, but at that price he'd need to shit gold bricks for me to justify it. To be honest, I could have lived without a million and one accessories, and a bonus Starscream head to recreate 30 seconds of an episode I barely remember, if it kept the cost down a little...

    I still love the cartoon to death but even as a 4 years old the simple fact that NOBODY (don't let me start about Spike spending DAYS fighting Ravage in that video room) watched that tape till the end and see that was Starscream and the others made me ashamed of... I dunno, stuff.
    Little did I know it was foreshadowing the Trump administration.
