    I am still looking forward to Maketoys Visualiser... Any more info about when it is being released?

    Anybody interested in some mechanical chain bases?

    There are 6 of them, 4 opened but mint and complete. 2 still in sealed plastic bags. These aren't KO, they came from Japan. 40 shipped to the UK.

    Also, I have a Shunya Yamashita bishoujo figure that I need to move on. It's Mirei-san and rather hard to find. Mint condition, boxed and good as new. If anybody is interested then make me a good offer :)

    Cool! The chest detailing looks really nice man. I can't wait to see that expanded on a bit.

    Agreed completely! PG's emporium of obscure wonderment :)

    Hey, I live in the South-East too, along the Bexleyheath line :D 

    I'm having way too much fun with Devy. I currently have him torturing my LEGO SigFig.

    I may still be wrong but here's the thread from what I think was his last appearance. He had the items listed as motor parts before as ebay don't do refunds on those. I don't think he's done that this time which would make getting your money back easier.

    http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/1006304-mp-10b-ebay-low-price.html

    Hopefully I'm wrong but the item descriptions are the same as before.

    edit:

    In his recent feedback the most expensive item (an MP-10U) never showed up.

    Not been keeping up with the news much due to wank mobile internet but that Menasor reveal is linked with Warbo?

    *sigh*

    We already have an idw inspired Menasor, no need for another. Money to be spent elsewhere I guess. I wonder why they are splintering into other groups? Seems odd to flood the market with new names.

    Oh. Anyone got a classics Cyclonus they're selling? Possibly leader Jetfire too if my local B&Ms have sold out (which I'll check tomorrow after the mountain of washing and ironing).

    I have the exhaust ko and its ace. Indistinguishable to me from my original and dare i say it the paint may be slightly better. Only very slight issue is that the gun doesn't clip in vehicle mode that well, but the rest of it is rock solid. Maz's original, however sounds like a mighty fine deal, in japan , i didn't see many much cheaper last week.

    With service like that you could quickly become the uks busiest dealer. Think of the protection this could give from missus's!

    It's like having a lower value declared for customs! (Not sure which is more painful though, the missus wrath or customs charges)

    This is a long shot but i don't suppose anyone has a KO oversize movie legends springer they might be willing to part with, the one that is deluxe in size. I cant seem to get it, it came out awhile ago so.

    Or even, where is good to look for ko's that isnt sirtoys? Thanks

    Just got my cw devastator....the reviews and photos really don't convey how epic he is.

    I let out a proper wow wow wow when I opened the box a few mins ago. The individual bots really are sizable And combined it's huge.

    Plastic is a bit plasticy to be fair but no different to the other cw figures but still all solid on mine. No qc issues or anything.

    You have to own this set to appreciate it's raw construction chunkiness.

    I have just put a pre order in on my second takara set as a result.

    Best thing is it's simple, you can transform and play with it quickly like you used to be able to do in the 80s.

    It has playability which had been lacking from many series of recent. It stands solid in combined mode, it's solid in vehicle and individual bit modes, it's great. Probably one of the only, but to me the most important advantages of simpler transformations, it's great fun, I feel like a kid not a collector again.

    Can't argue with any of this, it has to be in hand to get how big this thing is.

    Welcome jazz club, nice. The Cybertron toyline got me back into collecting. How are you finding masterforce? The TV show, not the shop. Personally I think it's the best of the takara trilogy. I'm going to have to check out fallout now, thanks enablers:D
