    That's typical of marvel fort max really. Probably sneaks in the odd episode of dads army mind you. I could imagine IDW Max binging on cop shows on 5star and some MMA...

    Got my ship notice too! Fingers crossed it gets here by the weekend.

    As long as you don't let them away with actual murder dude. They might develop a need for human blood and go on a proper killing spree.

    I could imagine him sounding like pinhead beetlejuice. An oversized thunderwing head would be handy.

    To be fair skyjack is a looker.

    Hey guys stopped by a the entertainer a toy shop in my town center and they had a few of the POTP legend class figures. Got hold of Roadtrap and Battleslash for 11 quid each. Very happy to have these guys. I used to have Battletrap as a kid even though my friend insisted he was an autobot saying he'd seen him in an episode. I really hope we get flywheels as well be awesome to have both duocons. Though I'm convinced someone must have mixed up their names. I mean fly wheels has tank treads not wheels and Battletrap is an obvious play on the word battle tank. Only thing I is missing really is a decent blaster for the figure I keep wanting to put him in aiming poses but he has no guns

    I see IDW-him as binge-watching mostly-HBO box sets. Oz for how he'd run it better, The Sopranos for how he'd take down Tony & Co., The Wire again for how he'd do it better with a dash of Prison Break shotgunning (for how he'd stop 'em). Most of his 'better ways' would be 'more heavy plasma fire, a few more photon blasts'.
    Also a big Arnie fan, secretly wants to re-enact Predator with Overlord in the title role (but he'd do it better, more heavy plasma fire, a few more photon blasts).

    Man, this sugar tax is seriously ruining my drinking time, at least I can control the amount of sugar in my cuppa tea.

    So how is everyone, I haven't been on much recently so I've missed a lot.

    Honestly I just got lucky with PCC and picked some great figures. Smolder, Heavytread, and Undertow are pretty solid.

    happy birthday @Large!!!

    Does anyone know if B&M is still stocking the Titans Return leaders? I'm heading into town tomorrow, thinking of checking it out, and don't hope to be too disappointd. Not that they'll have any anyway, since it's the north, but I can dream.

    They're definitely needed. I just wish there were more maniacal Galvatron faces on Shapeways, as the only ones I've seen are in the Renderform kit and Venksta's gone off radar :(

    B&M distribution is one of the major arcane dark arts, it's worth a punt but you never know what you might or might not find. My nearest biggest has gone from one Six shot to none to suddenly having the Wave 4 lads, not a sniff of the Legends I might be tempted by yet though.

    So spinning a forgotten Edwin Starr tune from my past led me to have a peek at his Wiki page and, lo & behold, he only went and did a Blaxploitation soundtrack for 'Hell Up In Harlem'. Gave the title-ish track a spin and I think, well, it's okay but it ain't no Trouble Man. Ooh, actually I quite fancy some Blaxploitation...maybe Netflix will can sort it?

    Netflix: "I got 'I'm Gonna git you, Sucka!'."

    *Sigh*

    Let us know what you find. I picked up my Sky Shadow at B&M so might still be around

    Answer: perfectly
