Can safely say it's better than AOE. Fill your boots, take popcorn, refreshment, and enjoy the lunacy.

 

I was just stalking this guy on ebay   should be getting a $20 ebay credit soon

 

That would be awesome. I'm primarily holding out for a Rodimus, and more great legends (Beachcomber, outback if we don't get him in TR and more throttlebots please!). Would love Pointblack and Crosshairs though too.

Had a quick look at their listings too:


?

!

 

Nice! Which 3rd party company made that one?

 

I reckon Outback is a given considering we have Brawn. I'm wondering if Beachcomber could be a Fastclash retool.

 

GigaPower. They already produced Snarl (Guttur) and Shockwave (under another name company Cloud 9).

 

That is magnificent! There's nowt like getting a brilliant modern update on your first! And that boy sure does look magnificent.
I don't think I'm ever going to have such a consistent and evenly distributed post week as this week!
Monday: Gnaw
Tuesday: Metroplex and Tidalwave
Wednesday: Wazzzzpinator
Thursday: CW Thundercracker
Friday...
RHINOX!
These Beast Wars lads are bonkers! He's such a weird looking little robot, but kinda great with it!

 

I checked a couple of local Tesco stores last night.

One had everything TLK reduced apart from deluxe (no voyagers at all though), the other had the same lines but deluxe were reduced to £14.95.

Might be worth getting a price check if the shelf states full RRP.

 

If I've got time on the way home, I will, but last time I did they rang up full price.

 

Saw the last knight.... Last night.

I just found it disappointing. The first 4 movies had their flaws but I still found something to enjoy in all of them. But this one?

I never look to a Michael bay movie for a coherent plot, but this time it felt even more crazy. Someone earlier said it was like they had an alien invasion script they applied to transformers? I agree. But also 4-5 other scripts mashed together. any of the

Spoiler

Arthurian legend, WWII, evil Prime, humans working with Decepticons, incoming planet collision

stuff would have been decent for just one movie.

I didn't find the action all that engaging either. I dunno, maybe we just saw most of the good stuff in the trailer.

But then again I've weird tastes in movies. I liked the Mummy better than Wonder Woman. So don't let my opinions stop you from seeing it.

At least the TLK toys are awesome!

 

Thanks @PAPY OPTI.

Nice to see you have a Rhinox @barry. Fun fact, the black and green color scheme of his weapon was the inspiration for the colors of my avatar.

 

Ah, no way?! That's a very cool little fact!

 

Yeah, I'm hoping so too over Outback (hopefully with his gun). I could see that over Beachcomber, but I'd really love it if he was his own mold. Hope we start seeing some more MP minibots at some point too!

 

Calidus!!

I don't have time to carry out my childish scheme this morn but The Box art is a bit shit (think '90s level photoshop and 10 mins on a graphic design course) so who can I make cry about Wrong-Colorz!! With that?

Have a pleasant day gents.

 

AW MAN! someone get me one of those popcorn eating gifs!

 

The box art is abysmal, I hope you enjoy the figure though, that's more important about colour knobs  

 

How do people store their toys? I now have small mountains of vintage toys that I have no room to display and at the mo they either litter the floor or are stored in large plastic tubs. However I am acutely aware that yellowing is likely to happen, but I am wondering what the best practice is to try to prevent it for as long as possible?

 

The stuff I don't have the space to display, like my M.A.S.K. and MotU, stuff goes in a big old Ikea chest of drawers in my attic. They're a bit cramped sometimes but they're safe from discolouration and such like.

 

It's really odd, and I am not sure why it is, but the way they mixed red with orange on CW Afterburner really put me off -more so than the green canopy. It's not that they used red, it's just the way they were used together. I can't fathom why it bugs me so much, but perhaps it's because it gives it a sort of cheap KO looking quality to my eyes. Sometimes I hate my own brain  

I recently took some old games consoles out of my attic that were just stored in cardboard boxes, not tightly or anything and lots of the stuff had started to discolour. A grey Gamecube memory card in particular was this sickly shade of yellow but other memory cards weren't.

It's tough trying to figure out the best way to store all these vintage toys from these hauls. Some have yellowed, but all have been stuck in boxes in cupboards in the Netherlands for the last 30 odd years.

 

Thanks Jame5y. Just opened it up and it's actually a pretty nice figure - I'm really not violently offended by the colours one way or another, He is suitably vibrant and that's about all there is to note on that.....until later
