    Gentle progress on the Titans Return and TF Legends alt mode galleries...We have Brainstorm and Wipe from TFLeg and Triggerhappy with Twinferno from TR. Decided only to use alt mode weapons on TR figures if they were really necessary, instead choosing to showcase the base alt mode and focus on accessories for the TFLegends gallery instead,

    @craftsmith:

    As for what happened to Shelob, if you remember how Bumblebee had a terrible accident (scroll down a bit):

    The UK Toy Discussion

    And so Rodimus hired bountry hunters to deal with the problem:

    The UK Toy Discussion

    But in the end, this is what Grimlock claims happened:

    The UK Toy Discussion

    Although that was a re-enaction and he may have just made the whole thing up. Which would mean that Shelob exploded from the cold. And that was the end of her. (I checked my luggage.)

    PS----NITE WOTCH! (tm)

    My early thoughts are that there's a distinct uncanny valley sense to the robot mode, as it's nearly-but-not-quite Transformer-like in its aesthetics. The differences are subtle and hard to pin down. Poses well though, probably thanks to the extra heft given by the die-cast core, which makes me wonder what I've been missing by swearing off the masterpiece line..

    Wrong logo, that's for Ceji-issued Diaclones only :D  Still made me smile, bravo! Get those stickers on him.

    And after driving to work in driving snow, the English breakfast they served at work also improved my mood.

    #Deskbot Super Ginrai, though, I guess I thought I'd be more wowed...

    ..but he's just quite good, not excellent. Love the headmaster most of all.

    All the best

    Soz man. *bows before the master* :D 
    Should it be the red on yellow logo? 'cos a google image search for "Diaclone Logo" really doesn't want to give one up, plus the one I used has a nice transparent background to make life easy :lol 

    Am I a crazy man or would Titanika have a really awesome retool as a Strongarm? I would be in on that in an instant, more so than the Roadbuster version I think.

    By the time the Corvette Stingray was released in Diaclone the logo being used on Car Robot boxes varied depending on territory, the Finnish release that was black was based on the Italian "TRASFORMER" style logos, but of course it actually had English text. Quite a rarity for Diaclone:

    I just went for the more classic Diaclone logo for this pic, though :)

    Toy bento are all good, the dude who runs it,, Ben had a facebook sales page for ages, then went with a web store. Nothing to fear there dude.
    Even if you had any fears paypal has your back!
    [/QUOTE]

    Would PayPal still be able to return my money even though its a pre-order, due in February? And how would I prove that I haven't received it? Cheers!
