Well hello new lunchtime friend!

 

Powered Suit A and B and Dia-Naut pack that I ordered yesterday from Japan have shipped...heavy breathing...

All the best
Maz

 

Slowly packing away all my Transformers ready for the big move. Shits in motion.

 

This post made me think about grabbng the power suits, then I looked at Amazon Japan and it reminded me of the global shipping program they do. Not gonna be a thing for 3rd party stuff but with the whole "we sort customs" thing might it be useful for you picking up toys in the future, given your recent adventures? Does it even work the same as the UK over there?

Just a thought, no idea if it is useful or their charges are prohibitively expensive etc...

 

Pretty decent haul today.

Fans Toys Galvatron is a big solid mofo with 30's gangster spats on his shoes, and MMC Tarn is just lovely chunky goodness with that lovely Reformatted plastic and a pleasingly simple (by any standards) transformation. It could only be sweeter if it was dipped in hundreds and thousands. With him, Kaon and Overlord, my Lost light crew are already spilling a wee bit of lubricant on the shelf..

Rather fittingly, with both in need of someone to torture, a Takara Legends Skids also showed up, he can take his choice of being displaced to Limbo Marvel UK style, or reliving Grindcore, IDW-style.

 

I ordered 2 RID bots from Japan Amazon with no problem and fast. They even now have a translator that works for the most part.
The issue is the same with USA you have to find something they will ship to the UK. It can be random like 1 out of 5 titans for example. Sometimes it works with preorder other times only when it comes into stock.
It's a try it and see and check again later. It's going to vary on which items are actually cheaper lately than over here. I've taken a punt on a masterpiece I just hope there are no issues needing a return.

 

@OptimushedPrune
Ihave every sympathy mate, my stuffs all stored in boxes scattered across different locations. I'm living out of rigid asda and aldi bags at the moment...
The indignity if it all.its only temporary and hopefully once both our lives are sorted we can meet up in a local pub and laugh at our pasts... Not yet, that would be heartless on both accounts, but hopefully sooner rather than later.

In other news, it appears my 18 months younger self stashed the odd robots for me to discover at a later date... Generations delux rattrap surfaced today in a box of funko's and I also found a few micromasters and a good portion of the countdown base.... I wonder what else I forgot to sell?
 

 

Oh it's a tough time being a robot collector.
I'm redoing my shelf and I now have Lupus the only MP con Headmaster so far. So do I put him on my movie shelf with Galvatron or do I put him next to Hardhead etc which is on and Autobot only shelf?
Or do I need to move an entire shelf of chug bots earlier than planned and have to create a whole new shelf of masterpieces!
Then I can put them all together with Soundblaster, twin cast etc also.

DECISIONS DECISIONS...

 

Cheers, I'm all good, but yeah, pub sounds good. Will see you tonight though. Bring fags  

 

But

I don't know any gay guys...  

 

Apart from yourself  

 

My current missus says otherwise....
I guess I walked into that.  

In other news just called home for a brew and the postie handed me this....
Awesome!!!

 

Yeah, ass first you raging homo  

That calender is awesome, I'll be taking mine with me.

 

Right back to work... See you tonight Pruney.... Bring johnnies safety first  

 

Only if you're taking  

 

Good luck Optimushed

 

Happy Haul.

Ah yus.

 

So how is that Iron Factory EX14 Optimus Figure? Seems to be a few folk whining in the figure's thread (shock). And it comes with an Arcee, right?

 

Elita-1 I think.

 

Do you like IF stuff? If so he's awesome!

For me he's their second best toy after Scorponok. You get a great standard Cybertronian Prime plus 2756234 accessories to God Ginrai him up when he becomes even more ace. Alt mode works for me with and without the accessories trailer and both are better alt modes than the Magnus alt to my mind, but a similar style of parts-formy weapon storage type stuff for the extras trailer.

The extra figure is an Elita One repaint of the Arcee they did but without the flight stand. Still able to stand up by herself a treat tho and for my money is much much better then their Windblade.

Basically another great IF toy, but he is absolutely an IF toy so you know what you'll be getting from them.

Take with a pinch of "Iron Factory fan boi" salt.
