    Soooo, I think I'm going to drop on MP hot rod, I know I'll regret it if I don't - only question, where is best to order from being based in the uk? As, I have never ordered any MPs....

    Merçi guys

    Hobby link Japan are normally quite good if you can get it shipped SAL, just a word of caution they don't mark down, so if you go over the threshold be prepared for customs.
    I think kapow has him for preorder, not sure about the other UK sellers.

    Some good news everydoy! Here's Bumblebee here showing off his fantastic new house, the interior is his favourite colour, it's got super high ceilings and even a garage space for his van/friends to come around and stay!

    Take a wild guess where he found his brand new home...

    The bloke is a legend. Been following him for a couple of years in NJPW, the King of Strong Style ;) 

    The greatest non indy, indy :D 

    I was hoping Nakamura would stay in NJPW because I love it, and because the WWE may give him a new name and some daft gimmick.

    Ha, you are welcome

    Right, that's MP Rodimus preordered with Kapow, had decided I wasn't bothered since Ironhide looked a bit pants and Tracks was meh at best but Ironhide has wone me over so I'll give him a shot. Hopefully he'll be a nice shade of Hot magenta.

    Also getting a takara stand. Broke the peg off my Tracks one :( 

    UW Bruticus will have to wait until I get my paycheck at the end of the month or march if I decide to get it, Will probably put Ratchet on preorder sometime too, as well as the TFC Hades guys with Masterforce.

    Wow, when I put it like that I've got some expense preorders to place

    Maz - Love your photos but that Sepentor Pro-bono looks like a waste of cash and space. Back to hunting for a reasonably priced Maketoys one.

    Bigphill - Cheers! :D 

    Seeaich - Happy Birthday!

    One more custom photo for the day. Amazing how much better I like the Universe mould with the new head, even standing next to the MP toy.

    Edit: Ouuuuch, and an epic £40 customs shafting for that HLj box with Road Rage and Super Starscream (plus Gundam pals) in.

    Woof, that's harsh! Waste of cash maybe as it's something like $200 for a sub-leader sized figure with a less than interesting core and a lovely trailer/closet that scrubs up, but waste of space? He doesn't take up that much of it...which may be part of the problem...

    Yeah, waste of space, at least for me. The very... Er, dynamic shape of things like the leg armour, the skinny biceps vs overly-wide chest, where the shoulders mean the arms hang... All things that the pic you posted there makes very plain, alas. Doesn't look like Nova Prime so much as a person in poorly proportioned robot cosplay?

    As ever, IMBAP. :p

    Happy Monday chaps.

    Weekend came and went in the blink of an eye due to home improvement work but I did get chance to spend quality time absorbing the latest MP release and I have to say, Ironhide is a work of genius.

    It's so good that I find myself thinking about playing with it all the time and that doesn't happen often. The sheer number of extras that come with it blew me away. Anyway, review and pictures will be incoming very soon.

    I cannot wait for ratchet :)
