    Actually, that's a nice bit of perspective, Motorpope, because I have ducked the Slugslinger price tag, time to appreciate what I have gained not what I've spent.

    Mwahahahaha. Awesome ! Hope you bought the hell of that marvelous son of a handsome devil.
    He's my guy.

    So happy I finally managed to PO a TR Arcee. Not even sad about the end of the line, I mean, there are still some LG until at least march aaaaand the quest for a Metalhawk is still on (urgh) (URGH).

    Don't have time to play (and even less time to take pics) but the living room has some brand new boxes right now and I can't wait to open them ! (Ok I cheated and open one. Just 3 minutes with him and some of you didn't lie. I LOVE this bot).

    Hopefully tomorrow !

    Bye guys, much love.

    Slugslinger is here. Loving this guy, the arms tab into the vehicle mode a lot better than Misfire, and I'm loving the jet turbines in his engines. I've found that putting the three target masters together reminds me not of a group of elite warriors, but of the Three Stooges :lol

    Having gotten the Legends versions of Kup & Hot Rod today I find them a mix bag. The colour schemes are better but I don't like the face sculpt for Kup & the obvious chest gap on Rodders is a shame.

    As I've just been looking over him I've noticed some sloppy paint application but nothing too distracting.

    The Targetmaster are great though.

    TR Slugslinger's a bit of alright, isn't he? Now I just need Misfire to complete the trio with Triggerhappy.

    I have to say, for an 11 year old figure, Classics Prime is an amazing toy. He's a lot heftier than I thought he would be, having never owned him before, and he just looks... Prime! Somehow I've come this far in this hobby and I've never owned a Voyager class G1 Optimus Prime before, and this one fits the bill perfectly still.

    KABLAM!

    Well, chaps, it's a 4-horse race as we now open the book on the Seeaichplechase Classic, who will nose past the finish line to arrive at Casa Del Haigho first?

    2/1 Favourite already ahead of the pack is Siegeoncybertron looking strong on the final stretch home but facing that final daunting Customs hurdle!
    At 86/1 it's late entrant to the race Trarcee suffering something a staggered start but already closing on the home stretch, thanks to a home advantage - it's almost like she hasn't had to run the full race!
    Then at 8/2 we have Gunsgunsguns Clonearsenal will they actually beat the final figure they're actually coming for? Anything could happen in the final furlong!
    Lastly we have the dark horse of this race, literally, he's gone so dark we can't even see this horse on the track but could Hasbrosluggy cause a surprise by suddenly appearing at the finish line?! Only Schrödinger knows!
    PLACE YOUR BETS, LADIES & GENTLEMEN, PLACE YOUR BETS!!!

    IMG_6371.JPG Ordered TR arcee from kapow, can't wait to finally own a headmaster arcee figure.

    A very kind fan also did me a great deal on the green king scorpy neck adapter with neck rotation for my custom.

    Also been drooling over this in the 3p thread, voyager ko of the dx9 ratchet by weijang.

    Only unhealthy knowledge of MLP is the carnal kind, effin' Bronies!
    I have no shame about my knowledge of one of the many forms of magic, how can one become a Master Wizard if ignorant of one of the most powerful forms?!
    (Although I have to admit having failed thus far at procreating myself I have friends with kids a number of whom have assured me MLP is a great show, it'd feel weird watching it by myself without a kid though so my knowledge is by osmosis.)

    There is something incredible about playing Yoshi's Island on a curved screen TV in HD. Loving it to the extreme.
