You're going to name him after a Volkswagen?

 

No, that's his brother Polo (Scrounge repaint, turns into a wheel... with a hole in it).

Anyway, Sirocco? Desert wind? No? Feel free to suggest something better!

 

Just to double check, there's nowhere UK-based with single-figure preorders for the wave 2 Titans Return Deluxes, right?

Getting antsy about securing a Chromedome and worried that I'll panic-buy one off a Taiwanese eBay seller for some ridiculous price...

 

I don't think so yet, was looking on Kapow and didn't see one. Might be an bit early still. Weird question but ... This Megatronia ... She going to come out over here? I'm just curious because I never heard of an female megatron and think it would be cool to own the set!

 

Hostage taken!

 

The most ridiculous - and then wonderful - things happened today.

I was squeezing Fort Max back onto his space on my desk, knocked one of Dia-Battles's cannons off, the ones that look like hand guns. It fell down the side of my desk, no big deal. Removed the big white plank of wood that was living there, spotted the gun down the side of the wall between my desk went to reach in there and pull it out, it's coming out, all is saved...then the fucking black cable from my printer just recoiled and smacked the gun under the sideboard. It is now buried in insulation material that is between the sideboard and the floorboards. I cannot even see it, and there's no way to reach in. Tried with pen and double sided tape, tweezers, all I seemed to do was embed it further. It was like watching the sea envelop a ship in a storm, cannot even see the thing now.

Astonishing levels of incompetence and clusterfuckery.

And yet, a US collector has offered to send me the part as well as a replacement for the short missile I smashed in half a few months back. Sometimes, sometimes this community restores my faith in humankind.

All the best

Ouch sorry to hear about your bad day! Hope it does get better soon!

 

congratulations on the good news 

poor old Sylvester, er, I mean Bulkhead  

The amount of spring loaded missiles I've had go down the sofa only for my wife to find them later. Happens to all of us I suppose.

 

Thanks Underlord! Been an fight that we have been waiting an long time to end!

 

Maz try hoovering it up with long thing piece...

 

Awesome you found a donor, dude, Well done that person!

 

Back and opened takara skullcruncher. He would be perfect if the tail folded in the legs somehow, i can't be doing having extra bits hanging about(g1 toy accurate maybe but doesn't look so good attached anywhere imho) so that does bug me. Saying that i have had a few deluxes and this is still strongling calling me to collect the other HMs.... I was thinking about trying to ignore them now because of wormholes but seems i will be sucked in.

 

@DisCode: Glad you've had a good result, that there Law is an imperfect machine!

Well, if this really is the proto for TR Broadside he's looking good to me so far.
I like how his arm silhouette echoes Gen. Springer & Sandstorm's it's a great callback intentional or not, plus I'm liking the asymmetrical tech detailing on 'em too!

 

It's a Takaratomy thing, so won't see mainstream release outside of Japan. I saw that Kapow had a preorder up, but it's so ridiculously expensive I've decided not to bother. Shame.

 

Someone at Activision must be feeling optimistic. £40 for the XB1 & PS4 versions of FOC. Has it even been given an HD makeover or just a straight port?

 

Oh takara. Look at them showing off their not at all suspicious autobot Longarm character in blurrs comic  

 

Here's a collection of pics of MakeToys Cross Dimension Striker Manus in robot mode:

Yeah it's a shame to see several (all?) prices of games on demand. Don't think it has been remastered.
Still I've enjoyed it at the top me and maybe I'll look for occasion market. But sometimes old memories should be kept as they were, I don't know. I re-played many games and enjoyed it. I just always hope not play one to many times.

Anyway that'll wait as I just started my first 2016 game with Deus Ex (hadn't played for an eternity) and I think I'll like it very much even with his flaws, like the previous one. Cyberpunk really works for me!  

 

ok is it just me or does that Striker Manus look like one of those Hero Masher toys? I dont normally hate on OP figures but that looks awful
