    Thanks for the congrats and hopefully she will be out tomorrow.
    That's would happen to be an MP10B or a certain clear trailer by any chance?

    Congratulations mate.

    Stevil cant believe you caved mate, all the enabling on here will get us in to trouble with the other halves. Yet the enablers suffer no consequence.

    I know right! Optimushed ground me down with his constant bombardment of pics, like he said it really was only a matter of time.
    If you're on the fence about a toy, never, and I mean never let anyone in this thread know!!

    Sometimes you're the enabler sometimes you're the enabled............

    Anything on your radar Optimushed?;) 


    Edit: Pumpking, or should I say Mr.Hotlink, that metallic sheen on the latest Hotlink is sublime :thumb

    Enabling is fun, sometimes you need to be enabled, it makes the buy sweeter knowing others agree with your choice.............unless your skint and spend your last pennys on it.
    Seriousley though, anyone changed a lambo mold head yet, Im gonna dig out sideswipe and have a nosey in a bit, but sinces hes not a K.O I don't want to risk trying.

    I'm trying to be good this year, and curb my spending compared to 2013.

    It's not been going well, as February saw me buy the majority of Lego Space released in 1987 - 1995. But at least I hadn't been buying more robits.

    I just got G2 Swipe, and Aranea from PE (very nice toy, expensive for what you get, but very nice), and ordered Mania King from Genetic! Woop.
    Also have a Overlord body coming too, G2 custom anybody?

    Craftsmith, I had to put the head back on my Red Alert KO a while back. It's on a threaded screw with a flat end. It was a git to get back on; the thread wouldn't bite as the screw kept pushing down below the collar piece. It has space around it so that the head can move, but there's now access to the flat head of the screw.

    In the end, I had to punch out the pins that hold the collar piece on. They would not come out all the way without disassembling other sections, but I was able to shift them enough to get a tiny flat head screw driver under the screw to stop it moving, and screw the head back on. It was enough of a nightmare that I put a drop of glue in the screw hole in the head so that it wouldn't come off again.

    Please bear in mind that I am far from the most practical of people. You might find it far easier than did I. The KO is a factory reject one, and seems structurally identical to the official versions of the mould that I own.

    Optimushed Prune, congrats!

    Cheers dude, just hit the buy button. It sounds easy enough, especially if I remove the pins on the collar first.
    Now Im searching ebay for faction stickers, how many flippin car stickers do there need to be on there. Im getting squillions of pages of car stickers, wall art and cheap tat logo junk, but alas no faction symbols for figures yet. anyone got the special combinations of words to find some, it used to be so easy to find them and Im sure there used to be whole sheets in varying sizes about 6 years back.
