    Was just going to mention that one. It's a bit like Tigertracks.
    If KO's are on the list, the Oversized one may as well be added. And the simplified ones.

    (In honour of @Neuta and because I'm finally getting used to multi-quotes...)

    Books. Preferably James Ellroy or cryptic crosswords right now. Or looking out of the window and smiling.

    (Pretend edit: Beaten by @jame5y)

    Ahem. Quake was leader for at least the time between two issues. He beat Megatron by [can't remember] the same week as my first trip to Brent Cross TRU. So I snagged a Quake, who was recently released. I remember being so chuffed to have the new leader of the Decepticons.

    Next week, Megatron overthrew Quake by [whatever], and I was gutted.

    It's like Hasbro were in some collusion with Marvel to promote their toys.

    True story. I must tell it again sometime.

    Jihaxus is a legit good time.
    Overlord, yup, TR will be interesting.
    Scorponok isn't (yet) getting a Titan-class figure, because beautiful, intelligent, better people voted for Trypticon.
    Deathsaurus is the Sky Lynx repaint if you fancy shelling out for the CW Liokaiser boxset.

    (Pretend edit: Beaten, again, by @Skywarp SCS)

    Dayum. So is the aim Hasbro + Takara + G1 versions of all the 'masters? Let nobody ever accuse you of being half-cocked with this hobby.

    KO Blingswipe. All over eBay starting at £5. Dirty, easy, tasty, wrong.

    (Pretend edit: Thwarted by the brilliance of @Vanessa)

    Knowing you, I am delighted you take your lunch to work in this. Maybe gaffer-tape over the wound, make it look rugged. Grrrr. Manly.

    Yep, gaffer tape fixes everything.
    Failing that, you could stitch it back together using tie-wraps (cable ties).
    Stitching with cable ties is to sewing, what "Just for men" is to dying your hair.

    I was going to say this! When I popped into ASDA after the school run I saw these guys for £15! If they had the 3 step Thunderhoof for £15 I might very well have bitten...

    That 3 Step Bisk is living proof that enablement has limits. There is hope.

    Ha! I wasn't swayed, either. While I think it's an ingenious design, I'll probably get the Warrior Class version along with Ratchet. It's still effectively just a car which trisects and has a crab on the underside (should probably go to the doctors about that, etc).

    Yes, crabs on your undercarriage would be most unpleasant.

    TAV
    TAV Windblade?
    I can't find her listed on the site, only the Hasbro NuRid Windblade, on pre-order.
    I'm looking for somewhere to order the Takara TAV version of her, but not found any listing yet.

    If I could figure out a foolproof way to solve the waist issues on the Brawl mold, I'd be tempted to grab Leokaiser too!!
