    Not in my neck of the woods, especially if they're hauling a tank full of slurry! 30mph tops!

    Speaking of TFP Wheeljack, has anyone seen the new Dr Wu WJ bits? - Hand blasters for the win!

    Does anyone here own the faceplate-less WJ head of Dr Wu? If so, what's the quality like? I did contemplate getting it but the rest of the deluxe TFP line took my money!

    Yep, the times I've used toyspark before he was excellent, and cheaper if purchased outside eBay, though it's been a while since I've had any emails about those...

    I'm liking the deluxes a lot too, got them from Andy a while back, I have AM TC and SW so not quite sure where DE-Screamer fits in, would've been much better with more transparency :)

    Agreed, I don't know why they didn't call him Skywarp in the first place. If it looks like a duck....

    Counting is scary, the DE Screamer makes the 5th purchase of the FE seeker mold...

    I may try to get TFCC Slipstream (anyone here looking to offload when she's out?) and make a pseudo set of 3 with her DE and the Entertainment pack one...

    I work in Brighton and live half an hour away. Heirofthedog lives in Brighton, too, but you're much more likely to see him on Sector 70. I saw his custom MP Sludge, the other night. Bloody awesome. And less of the Brighton jokes, cheeky monkey! They smashed Newcastle the other day.

    Broot - I thought AutoMorph was from the Wez Coun'ry (?)
    And I also got out of my box in Bath a lot, mainly Moles and Cadillacs.

    Hosta - excellent finds! I didn't think there were any official TransFarmers ever released... The trouble is once the tractor and threshing machine are done, what's left? Is there a BW cow, pig or duck?

    Sweeney - how much are you looking to offload Double Dealer for?

    5 guys? 'Combining' in Brighton? Happens all the time doesn't it? ;) 

    Been playing MGS3D: Snake Eater on my 3DS, (where is he going with this? Hear me out) and there's a sequence where Snake is in some sort of drone plane thing off the back of a SR71 Balckbird... only it wasn't black. Leading edges were black but the rest of it was white, and it looked very good indeed. Maybe Uranusbolt will have that kind of scheme?

    Dark Energon... will it be mainline? Having said that I'm pretty much out of the mainline these days, due to a variety of reasons. The last mainline TF I bought was Dreadwing, and thanks to his super tabby alt mode and craptacular weapon he's hardly perfect. Good, but not amazing. Couple that with the now atrocious UK distribution, prices etc I can totally understand why everyone is going MP and 3P these days.

    Not me though, 3P has this invisible wall I can't breach for actual stand alone figures (as opposed to upgrades) and the MP cars I can't justify for the price.

    Only a few days to go now before my Sideshow Premium Baroness will arrive, from within the UK (Forbidden planet) so no unexpected customs fees...

    Can't remember the name of the variant now, but it was discussed in the Uranos thread, and somebody with apparent links to TFC indicated it wasn't off the cards.

    Edit. M21?

    Did Swoop PM you the other day as he was selling a MP Hot Rod.

    I did mention that it may be worth dropping you a line as you are after one.
