Wave 6 in the house thank you Masterforce you Magnificent Bastard you!

They are pretty spiffy. Even Wheeljack isn't utterly useless. Hound and Smokey (even with stupid lightbar blemish) are the stars.

Good start to the day.

 

I have wave 6 ordered from Kapow, so not got mine yet  

 

Was hoping to get Hellfire and Iron Will in today, got a dispatch email Thursday night so should have been on the way on Friday but the tracking says it's still with kapow so I'm guessing I won't see these now till Tuesday.

 

My CW wave 6 deluxes arived from Masterforce, that was quick! Now waiting for Kapow and SkyLynx

 

OK Dee and everyone else asking about colour. This is about as true to life as I can get it in that how I see it in hand. Taken under a sky light in the most naturally lit place in my house as it's pissing it down outside lol

 

Kinda tempted to go for that alternate version of Tailgate that's out in April. Looks good in that teal colour.

 

The Head looks like the Destroyer from Thor.

The red on Boost just does not photograph well - looks like that swirly-red plastic Hasbro used on stuff like BW Rampage.

 

Not liking smugmug making bigger and smaller the pictures. Rethink... Thinks to self

 

What about piss magnus?

Ooh! I'd forgotten to turn over my calender - Seeker cats Ahoy!

 

Figured out what was niggling me about CW Barricade. Leaving his noggin as factory made him look like Dead End cosplaying for his conjunx endura, that's better...

 

Sixo - yes, yes, yes, photos are amazing, re-considering all my collecting options, etc.

BUT WHAT VACUUM CLEANER DO YOU USE? Your carpet is spotless.

And where is all your furniture?

Motorthing - thanks for the list. I kick myself once in a while, thinking I should wholesale upgrade to MPs, but then...

How much did I spend in 2015? Protectobots + some RiD + second-hand chaps... Less than £150. Which made it a pricey year for me.

I doubt I'll break £75 this year.

IMBAP.

 

less than a week to get my mp ironhide with the cheapest shipping option , nippon is my new go to place for mp's   can pre order without paying and then pay up the pre order whenever you want , they mark it as being worth $10 so no custom rapage and the cheapest shipping is not actually that bad  

 

Is that Nippon Yasan?

 

yeah

tracks got to me quick with the cheap shipping option as well , qucker than anime export and was shipped after my tracks from anime export

 

I ordered a Vita and memory card from them a year or two back and it literally arrived in two days, marked down so no bumming. They're a good bunch.

 

So this seems to be the right place to confess my addiction. I may be late to the party but, yes I'm a 37 year old man, married with a child who is addicted to collecting season 1 masterpiece styled transformers . . .

Does that make me a bad person?

And all you enablers out there with your fancy pictures, you're just making it worse (Joke).

It all started a year ago when I managed to pick up a MP-10 for my son, couldn't believe the likeness to the actual toon figure, soon after that I had picked up Prowl, Sideswipe, Soundwave. But it wasn't until recently I discovered third party contributions. My favorites have always been the Dinobots, so what Fantoys are producing blew my mind. In the last month I've picked up Soar, Sever, pre-ordered Stomp and Grinder and am desperately searching for a Scoria. (I also picked up a Thundercracker and Quakewave for my son, there his favorites).

So you see my recent spending/acquisitions have been out of control . . . and I love it.

All joking aside its great to see such a thriving community and a hearted longing back to my childhood playing with my G1 figures with my son. I may be more of a collector now with the masterpiece range but we still enjoy using them (Carefully!!) in a few dreamt up battles.

I enjoy all your photos, Ironhide looks great but I might wait a month or so before acquiring. I say this now but the more I come into this site and see postings of him, it may be sooner than that.

Can I ask here, where people acquire their bots from (In the UK)? I have been using Kapow and TFexpress as well EBay, are there any other better ways? If its against site policy to state various stores, I apologise.

Also, if anyone can recommend anywhere I could pick up a Scoria (Even from overseas) I would be eternally grateful.

Hopefully I will contribute to the discussion here, and not go back to my lurking ways. Anyway confession over, my conscience is now clear.

 

Welcome Gaz Top... It's nice to have some new blood around here from time to time.

 

"How" for now, Gaz!

 

^Like he said, but without the sinister undertones...

 

Just testing the water here - anyone in the market for a CW Devastator? Transformed from alt to robot and then to limb, and then combined and displayed since.

Welcome, dude! As well as Kapow and TFS Express, there's also the fantastic Masterforce run by Morg who you see on the boards. All are good options.
