    Dinobot has been posted!

    @Xaran Alamas,
    Bouncy Oreo is a sight to behold, he doesn't half catch some air for a chunky lad and after the past week or so it was great to see! He was even fighting back a bit when Rebecca kept jumping on him so definite good signs he's not too far from being normal :)

    Tis a great podcast mate! Can't wait for the next one. Got me thinking about my grails, and that one grail I'll never get my hands on...

    So kingdom magnus. I get all the complaints about the alt mode. But with @Seeaich's suggestion for dealing with the arm issue I think it's grand. Certainly both bot modes tickle my fancy.

    Dealing with it right now lads

    LG CW Magnus continues to be peak Magnus for me, but this guy is a close second. And yes Hasbro I would take this in a delta magnus deco too. And a thunderclash. And fuck it, the siege variety as SG Magnus.
    Because I love robots. And I love magnus.

    He really is. It's weird, I REALLY didn't like his boxy head and then a couple of days ago I looked at him again and just thought, "Ooh, 'ello". Hunted around online for the original version, but he's scarce and the places that do have him left KNOW that he's scarce so they're asking £150-200 for him. However, the white one is still around and you can get him from ShowZ for £74....He's very near the top of my 'I want this AND can afford to pay it, once I have cash' list right now.

    Fun fact: this is the second time in my life I see "purty" used in a written sentence. The first time was in FF7. God I am old.

    I vote for a bit of alcohol (hand gel is fine) on a Q-tip, put it on it and let it soak for like 30 seconds than some hard wrist action and it should come off, I do it most often when stripping GW figures and it works a treat even through multiple layers, small warning, alcohol can make clear plastic cloudy if overused and in some cases straight off so check first.

    That is stunning, just stunning, ooh I doubt I could get it now but wow!

    Absolute respect from me, between jobs once I got some temp work in B+Q, lovely people but the work was hard manual which I was not used to, often I would get home so tired and drained that I would be physically sick.
    I also once forgot my mate was picking me up and they called the police on his ass as he was waiting in the car park....touchy much...eek!

    In robot news, more plastic bought but in only the form of more push lights for the display..mood lighting, TF stylee, pics soon.

    Laters peeps.

    Shite old day today and trying not to cheer myself up by raiding the delivery and helping myself to a Jetfire, a 3rd unit spy patrol and a bunch of other stuff. I don't really need to have MP Grimlock and the ss86 movie one...or do I?

    Ahahaha, Purple Griffon! :p 

    He's APC Toys Darkmaster, a 3P upsized version of First Edition Deluxe Megatron (I think?) And he is awesome. APC have also done First Ed Prime and most recently Arcee, though I think there's talk of a Bulkhead too? I have Darkmaster and three decos of "Attack Prime" IE their Optimus and I highly recommend them to any TFP fan if you can find them:thumb 

    Googly eyes!:lol

    I've been watching out for their Bulkhead like a hawk! The only thing wrong with the usual version is that he's far too small.

    Still toying (badoom tish) with opening all the Omegas, the Space Bastard3s and a Skylynx. Are 3 Spacebastard3s Spacebastard9 or Spacebastard27?

    My god ss86 Hot Rod is magnificent. Apart for the shoulders (get where you want to get them, just awkwardly) and the knees (in vehicle mode, and after TR HR did them so well) it's pure plastic perfection.

    Does anyone know a good uk retailer for 52 Toys? I've just seen a Beast Box Praying mantis from them and I think I have to have it.

    Also, today's mood. Let's kick Tuesday in the dick.
