    Yup, should probably be upwards of £100. You really need to put some prices on items though, even if they are just rough ones. Otherwise you will be dealing with a lot of low offers as a result. Nobody in their right mind will start with a high offer!

    IMBAP but, I prefer generations windblade over NuRiD windblade in every way besides solidity as a toy

    I like 'em both, but NuRid just edges ahead for me, especially in the stability stakes. Of course, IMBAB...
    I'll have to do a photo of all my Windbags together, but I'm waiting for the Takara version of the NuRid mould to appear.
    Am I right in thinking that Takara Slipstream and BotCon Airazor are based on the Gen Windblade mould too? If so, I might include them in the pic as well.

    Yeah they are, I'd love to see a group shot :thumb 

    I don't dislike NuRiD WB, i just don't like it as much as I thought I would, and yeah it is a much more stable figure, but it's just not clicking fully, and I'm not entirely sure why

    Edit, also would it have killed them to paint the f'ing sword?

    Cheers, man. Was holding onto it for a friend as a wedding gift, but he went and bought it in the meantime! The plastic crack addiction had to be fed, I suppose!

    I really find it hard to get the time to research prices for the oul sales thread. Work and kids is tough!

    I'm open to offers. I generally have a peek on ebay at recent sales and take off about 20 percent or so.

    Have just gathered up too much stuff, and we're thinking about moving house because we'd like more space for the kids.

    The thought of having to parade the whole lot of it past the wife terrifies me. Our attic is full! I'd like to drip, drip it out before the move, if at all possible.

    Lessen the hit!

    Yeah, sounds a bit light, but then if you don't price up and ask for offers that's generally what's gonna happen. I just PM'd you (what I hope is a fairer!) offer myself.

    I found that the NuRid version worked better for me, but then, I do have the excellent NuRid cartoon characterisation of Windblade in mind when I look at her. Gen Windbags reminds me of the more irritating CW/Machinima cartoon Windblade. A case of the media portrayal colouring my appreciation of each figure.
    My group shot would include: Hasbro Gen Windblade, Combiner Hunters Windblade, Takara Legends Windblade, Takara Legends Slipstream, BotCon Airazor, Hasbro NuRid Windblade, SDCC NuRid Windblade, and just waiting for Takara TAV Windblade to show up. Anyone know if a UK vendor will sell her?
    Any other Windbags I've missed out, apart from the awful Legion version?

    I know I'm in the minority here but I didn't think it was that bad truth be told.

    I know scale and transfomers don't really get along, but they go quite well together I think.

    another nice read mate......*tips hat*

    That bit doesn't bother me, because all weapons stay in their boxes anyway.

    Do you have a Nemesis MP-10 for sale?

    I can but hope...

    Because for some reason, instead of getting on with the task at hand, I was compelled to make this...

    [​IMG]

    Couldn't quite get the cropping to match but it *kiiiiiinda* works in effect.

    No Windbags but IIRC you don't mind a Strongarm? The TAV-52 version just might be her best iteration yet...

    Ok I can completely understand that, thankfully "character" rarely (if ever) informs my purchase and enjoyment of a figure

    But yeah the CW cartoon is absolute pants, WB in particular

    Understandable, but for me the sword gen WB was a major highlight, it just looks so cool, where NuRiDs sword looks like a gang moulded pound land weapon, I'd paint it myself, but paint on a sword that sheathes is a bad idea if it's not the super sturdy factory applied paint

    NEW WeiJiang Transformers Toys Throttlebots Goldbug Figure Toys 18cm No Box
    (£11.49 shipped no box)

    or

    NEW! WeiJiang Transformers Toys Throttlebots Goldbug Figure Toys
    (£12.00 with box & free shipping)

    He's 14cm long in car mode and the smallest of the ones made in the upscale line. I suppose he works with Masterpiece if you look at the Season 4 scale for Goldbug. But regardless of scale he's just a really nice toy.
