Introducing the TransmetalS

All unused MIB

 

in fairness, I don't think there's a stinker in the wave - hell, I'm even trying to figure out how to afford the Ninjago City modular - it's just lip-chewingly beautiful - almost blade-runner-esque ( but in lego form)

 

Thanks for the lowdown le sponge  
Looks absolutely incredible, I'd seriously like that......but alas $300 is a buck too far for me.

Dude, how crappy of me to forget to post a HAPPY BIRTHDAY?!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY bro, hope the day was filled with nothing but good tidings, laughter and the odd sprinkling of robots  

Fucking awesome show!!
Quintessentially 80's goodness!

 

Knocked these up last night while watching TV. Getting a bit more mileage out of the photos i took for that Marvel Issue 1 Autobot Introdump Splash Page.

Oh, I can't get into Lego as well, as much as I used to love it as a child. I've still got a few sets with all the pieces from the 80s/90s, which I should either get back from my folks or sell to someone who would give them a good home.

The Halo Mega Bloks addiction has already started to get out of hand...

 

Can the "Prime" robot sit in that like some badass throne?

 

Congratulations, you just joined - the Quake Team  

 

as and when you get round to moving them on, give me a shout - will take good care of them...

 

Will do - maybe if I can get my folks to bring it up when they come to take care of my son over the next few weeks. I'll have to clear some space in the spare room to store them though. Mostly space Lego, with some Robin Hood, castle, pirate, and then one set which is like a log cabin with river and 4x4 plus boat....and possibly a police and fire station. Oh! And a coastguard, and a fishing boat which actually floats....you could be looking at a lot of expenditure though!

 

I do have the T30 Arcee, yeah, and I think that serves the purpose of badass IDW Arcee and Movie Arcee very well, but I just prefer the Headmaster Arcee for TR, I prefer its scale, transformation and the feel of the alt mode on TR.

I don't think anyone necessarily needs to update from T30 Arcee if they're happy.

All the best

Slowly but surely packing up the collection room. Nothing like packing up hundreds of Transformers to make you think that you may have slightly too many figures.

Not sure that some of these figures will ever see the light of day again so i'm trying to get some photos of them as i go along. That may be slowing the whole process down a bit  

The Micromasters i had as a kid:

Maybe customs are assuming you're a Brony and are scanning it very carefully looking for concealed porn.

 

Had Bludgeon out for a long overdue fiddle and this happened.

 

@kgorman79 - lush pics - love the Micros with a burning passion
@joetele - will have to look at storage options and moolah, but yeah, certainly interested in some, depending on condition..

 

Totally non-TF related but no idea where else to post these and i thought they looked quite cool!
When I was snapping some pics last night I thought i'd have a go with my wife's Eric Draven Crow figure.

Perhaps not so much time, short version of the process:

Make Bhiner account>Find listing on TaoBao>Copy item listing's address bar text & paste into the Bhiner search box>Add to cart>Once in cart go to Checkout>Click 'Request Quote' button>Once your 1st quote is received (1st quote will be item cost + internal China shipping to Bhiner HQ with their percentage)>Pay by filling your Bhiner wallet via Paypal (you're basically putting funds in their pocket to pay for your gear)>When your order arrives at Bhiner there'll be notice of it on the order page with a quick photo of the item, and a new button will appear there 'Remind Bhiner Packing' so click it to get your 2nd quote for Shipping>Pay by filling your Bhiner wallet via Paypal>CONGRATS you have a Chinese shopping website internet purchase winging it's way to you!

Most difficulty I had besides figuring out the "post address bar contents into Bhiner's search box" with @Ottertron's help was actually finding the Siege set listings on TaoBao as, unsurprisingly, searching in Chinese text was better for looking through the listings rather than attempting to search by English text but I had to bluntly experiment with the search phrase of Chinese characters (ignorantly cutting out or re-adding Chinese characters) I got from the Chinese Siege Release News thread to get more than a single specfic listing.
Also, besides the payment phases at least in my case I didn't seem to get any other notifications via email such as my item being received at Bhiner so I'd advise if you try it be aware you have to stay on top of it yourself, it calls for a bit more activity over passivity than with other internet purchases, and good luck if you do!

What did I tell y'all, eh? Turdy Fife, ouch!
So much for a second to Minerva-ise!

"TFs can't reign all the time."

 

You just made me snort tea out my nose!!

Well played sir    

 

See the price tag though? Ouch. Mine isn't yellow, but missing all the missiles and magnus is missing his fricking hands. I may just scour ebay for some hands.

Congrats on the raise dude!

Nope. I basically rage-bought Takara Slugs after seeing the price tag at ID toys. Now I sit. And wait. Biting my fist.

Nice and spooky for Halloween month. What a figure.

Got a shipping notice from Kapow for Takara Hot Rod and Kup! Can't wait.

Hopefully they'll have those Arcee figures to order soon that @Seeaich mentioned.

 

Been thinking about getting some clear flight stands, as balancing things on a clear empty curry container just isn't working that well anymore
Any recommendations?

 

But those containers give figures the delightful fragrance of curry!
