    Looking good! I think that Megatron is actually the encore exclusive black version (or possibly first reissue exclusive) as the Chronicles one should be flat grey with red inner legs.

    All the best

    Phew! just about finished the work I've been doing over the past few weeks of lifting turf, building a raised bed in the garden and filling it with a ton of soil - I think that's my Man card earned for the year... Now for the harder job - keeping the whole neighbourhood of cats from using it as an executive litter box!

    Ah I see. I got it loose from Lena on ebay in 2013. I think it was part of a 2 pack at the time?
    I've got it listed as Chronicle and also E-Hobby. Cost me £17.

    Some more rarely seen G2 figures, the Laser Cycles from 1995. These use similar light piping tech to the Laser Rods, and are probably the earliest examples of decent motorbike transformations, many of which have historically been below par.

    Repaints as Jazz and Soundwave were planned but never released, however they were reissued in 2002 as part of RID as Sideways and Axer seen below in alt mode, and in the Robot Masters line as Road Rocket and Double Face, redecos which I'm still chasing down.

    [​IMG][​IMG]

    Curiously these molds were also released in 2000 as part of Takara's attempted Microman revival.

    I never knew that, I was fortunate enough to own the old book-box Blaster and Percy so never looked at the more recent one.

    Every day is a school day!

    The Perceptor came with completely new accessories too, a bunch of slides for his microscope to look at and a weird little weapon crate for them to go in. Still have about 5 of those loose I keep meaning to list online.

    So this is what I've spent most of the day trying to do. Organise and take pics of my Movie bots.
    So now they can go away again lol Annoyingly I forgot to include my custom painted Ravage I purchased many years ago.

    I love this as it looks like a Centurion, and that's basically how you build it, then disconnect the parts from the 'frame' - which then becomes a vehicle of its own. Amazing.

    All the best

    Not sure if it's because they've been around for 12 years now, but I really like a lot of movie toys now. To the point where I'm contemplating many back out of stock. I've only got about 6 in my collection properproper.

    A year ago I probably wouldn't buy another movie toy but all these cool OS KO convinced me lol
    I'm mostly getting the best ones and a lot are movie 1. I don't need some of them that are odd designs.
    This isn't everything but it's the larger scale ones I'm focusing on. I still have other deluxe ones etc but not on display. Under other boxes.

    I've done my Autobots too. I am going to be selling some stuff like HA Bee and Barricade and other odds and ends.
    If you are looking for something in particular let me know Sid.

    Wow, that is some news and I'm sorry to hear that and hopefully he will get sorted soon. How old is he by the way?

    Wow, a year that is kind of long... but glad that medication is working for you for the moment, :) . Can the wait be shortened?

    That's easy, get a dog. Or you could do what my mum did and have someone move in next door who has a dog. Her garden has been clean for the last two months! :D
