    Over the last couple of weeks, I've been fighting off the temptation to pick one up from the entertainer in victoria center. Instead I opted to buy Undertow from tru, and was really dissappointed with that figure

    Luckily all theyve got left now is that blue tank guy.

    I shall eagerly await I Gears inevitable Outback instead :D

    Quick heads up, all the FE Bulkheads have shipped out today, the notifications are a little behind so you may get the toy before your account status is updated, Terrorcon Cliffs have also started to go out with Soundwaves and they should finish tomorrow :) 

    Cheers peeps! as always your custom is appreciated no end :)

    in Mr Burns' voice 'excellent'

    Looking forward to having Bulkhead. Just hope Mr Postman leaves the box in the shed or greenhouse, hate having to get up early to nip to the sorting office.

    Thanks for the offer on the Jazz head, but it's really the new Kick-over (off) head that I'd like. I can mod the head on RTS Jazz to be similar to Kick-Off's design, but the botcon one looks sooo much nicer :)

    What's the going rate for a boxed 20th Anniversary MP Prime with long smokestacks nowadays? Thinking of ditching for the upcoming MP10 release.

    Woohoo!....and now the usual guessing game with mr posty.


    RTS Fallback/Brawn is a great mold; just wish the head was a little more Brawn-y. Are they still shelfwarming everywhere, because every one of the local RTS back-stock has been snagged?

    I'm sticking my MP01 in storage if/when MP10 is released over here, it's too good a figure to sell on for me.

    I think it's running about $100 these days?

    Personally, i wouldn't do it. i like both about equally.....but they'll never make a toy like Mp1 again.

    Fallback can look even more Outback like if you add the Reprolabel set.
    It's the only reason I decided to pick one up.

    Reprolabels.com - Outback

    I think it might be worse. Mindset could be the new Inector.

    That nerd rage thing is funny. It is one of the amusing things about transformers, that some fans moan and moan about 3rd parties and Ko's ripping off Hasbro's "intellectual property".

    Oblivious to the fact that Hasbro themselves are ripping off other companies intellectual property :D

    Fantastic. Now all I have to do is figure out when I'm going to pick him up from the depot, 'cos they'll doubtless deliver when no-one's home. And I'm going to be out for the next couple of nights. Dammit. I want my Bulkhead!

    Hmm. I'll also have to make sure I keep checking outside the back door and in the recycling bin regularly, too. Just in case...

    And thanks for feeding our addiction! ;-)

    Don't eBay regs require you to deliver a pre-order within 60 days?

    Or is it less?

    Wow all this stuff announced at botcon sounds awesome, I definitely need to get that Cliffjumper SDCC Exclusive :D 

    Avengers...perhaps the best (if not one of the best) comic book movies of all time! Absolutely loved it, Whedon's done a fantastic job with the characters, and the mid credit scene was frigging awesome!
