    So weird, just seen that a load of my comic covers have been posted on a South Korean website.....
    Not annoyed, in fact it's quite flattering, just weird as hell

    Noticed it after I had 35 visitors from South Korea to my (very much neglected) website two days ago. Was checking the referrers and they were all from this link

    If Megs was just a hair bigger this would be about right for me, scale wise.

    Awesome!

    I remember being really excited about this, only to get a response saying that the item I (well my grandparents) requested was out of stock and receiving a generic filecard with no name and the wrong personality profile, and no Steel Brigade patch. I am still disappointed to this day! :cry

    Thanks!

    Eating well can be a constant juggling act but I've had diabetes about a decade now so I'm getting a fairly good grip on it.

    On days where my depression is affecting me more I tend to default to a bit of comfort eating but on 5 days out of the average week I'm eating salads and a newfound addiction to blueberries is gradually helping me push crisps and chocolate out as my snacks of choice and I'm definitely feeling better for it.

    Have fun at the gig, I'm not familiar with a lot of his work but the chase theme from the movie Midnight Express was used as the entrance music for the tag team of the same name back in 80's wrestling so I know that one!

    @Napalm,
    Really liking that gold on G2 Bruticus and also the faction symbol on Sideswipe....which G2 Reprolabel set is it from?

    @nemisispringer,
    Excellent Legends lineup!

    I'll let you know what Sideswipe's like when he turns up. Hoping he's on the same level as Chromedome.

    You've posted it so I don't have to :lol 

    Just wow. I do remember a toy shop in Norwich that was selling old 80s toys in 1994. A load Go bots, the big boxed ones, I distinctly remember the yellow beetle and space shuttle, and Micromaster combiners. I think I got Motovator Lightspeed from there.
    I also remember Swag shop in Colchester having a load of G1 Deadends in about 95. No other Stunticons, just him.

    Scattered releases thru April, Dan, Deluxes seemingly kicking off next week except for some mystery around Chromia.

    Hasbro UK appear to be doing solid cases about as well as they did per Wave casing!

    @bcm77 - the symbol is actually from the official MP G2 Sideswipe sticker set.

    I was wondering as a mate got a solid case of Prowl in today so was wondering if Kapow were suffering the same fate!

    It does seem that after making noises about supporting retailers supply needs with the option for solid cases they've actually just jumped feet first into solid cases only, and not as a supplementary move to support Wave casing! Genius.

    By the way, we did all know the wee MFT MS G2 'Swipe is gonna come with a neat wee mech suit buddy, yeah?

    it depends on who you ask, but some people think it's too big. I know, an argument about scale in this fandom. Who would have thought such a thing would happen :lol 
    I've got him as my Legends Huffer as well, he's replaced CW Huffer. :) 

    It looks very much like something that would come with Black Zarak.
