I agree completely with the intended spirit, but going to strike a contrarian note on not actually buying this Guy. It looks pretty good until you get to the articulation, and if Iron Factory can bung a waist-swivel on their Jetformers at a fraction of the size there's no excuse for Hastak skimping on something this hulking. It's just lazy and penny-pinching.

Sorry Chris, Them's the rules.   But that just means there's one more out there for somebody that does want Him.

Siege Skywarp looks like a lovely bit of anthracite, and I suppose I'll be coughing up Leader Prices for another Voyager just to get my fave Seeker. Disco-Mosh and G2 Swipe will be maybes if not exclusives or stupid-expensive.

 

Skywarp, yay! Not sold on the dark grey as opposed to black; it looks a bit washed-out in comparison to the vibrant purple. Mind you that's probably the studio lighting, when I get him into my rubbishly-lit room he'll look better :-D

I'll be selling his three battlemasters, I think. Not my thing  

Now we're just waiting on Ratchet photos...

 

Holy fucking shit, Skywarp looks like the fucking sex! What a stud. The Firestormers look like a lot of fun, but are still a pass. Now I gotta drop by ID's site to see if it says when this lot are coming. Fuck yes!

Bit more Red.

Sure you were on the Ark, Red. Wouldn't doubt you!

 

Who you still looking for?

 

I too will be selling the Battlemasters. I’m just glad I remembered Skywarp isn’t part of that Firestormers pack as I really don’t need that.

 

Bad Ebay buyer alert: fran_2196

Made an offer for an item at half my asking price, which I refused. He then won the item, sent a message demanding to know if I sent it yet (which I couldn't as it was Good Friday), and then this morning demanded a partial refund because the card was open. I replied with a quote from my item description where I stated that the card was opened and the figure used for display, and offered a full refund on return of the item.

Instead, he left me negative feedback.

I just had a chat with Ebay, and they've agreed to remove the feedback.

Utter bar-steward.

 

MP-10 was made in Vietnam.
MP-11 to MP-26 in China, excluding MP-22 who was also made in Vietnam.

From MP-27 most releases were made in Vietnam, and even a China mould was moved to Vietnam for MP-17+. But Inferno/Grapple/Artfire, Dinobot and MP-43 are all made in China. As is the upcoming MP-44.

 

What a twat. Least you got his cash.

 

What can I say, prepped for a no-waist by T30 Jetters, innI?

I really wish Hasbro would sort out the confusion around these, are they exclusives or are they mainline, and if they're exclusives then numbering them in line with the mainline is a bit of cheeky bar stewardery, innit?

EBranleur!

 

in the words of Alan Partridge...scum. Subhuman scum.

 



Just these guys! EBay has helped me a lot. Think the Minicons and Thunderblast will be the worst to find

 

September 2020. Although weirdly I got the dispatch notice for g2 select series megatron today. Before Rick O'Shea.. Weird.

All looking rather sexy!!!

G2 Slamdance!!  

 

Not a TF, but not aparrantly a GoBot either. So, just a Transforming Robot. A very Trumpian-Coloured Robot. And it arrived now cos the Mail round here has probably (quite sensibly) assumed people will be in of an evening.



When/if they ever get around to releasing Loco this year I'll just be Turbo short of owning all the Gobots (I don't care what the pedants are calling them, these are bloody Gobots!) I had by the early 90's - when you could pick them up for pennies at Jumble-sales.

Who says Mankind isn't using its time on Planet Earth productively. Gobots!!

 

Primal:

 

Thank you to all of you folks who wished me and the family well, and I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. With no Paris due to chicken pox, we made good use of our time up north, and this morning signed a tenancy agreement for a lovely little flat which starts next week. Which follows on from yesterday where Mrs Brum Bot went for an interview and got the job as well, so there has been some good positive news!

This sounds daft after living so close to it for the last few years, but I’ve also booked my hotel for TFN in the summer so that is a go! Up for organising another little TFW curry con for the Saturday evening pre-drinks, if anyone is interested  

 

Today was a great day.


They arrived! Who shall I open first?

 

That's brill, Rob! Bon chance!

Well, now, there I was munching me tea whilst keeping my bead on a bargain T30 Arcee on said Bay of E, when out of nowhere I wasn't so much out-sniped as out-gunned entirely. More of a Rocket launchering than a Sniping, she shot up from reasonable to more than a brand new LG Arcee will set you back from Kapow! Is the T30 deco of the lass so popular? (I'm being cheap as I mainly want to harvest the swords, and possibly look at the feasibility of making a Lifeline from a Moonracer with a simples headswap.) Might just wait and see if there're still some bargain Moonracers available next payday and if so perhaps plump for a Kapow bargain instead, the lady's got legs!

For now I just checked out the prices of them MSG bits between HLJ & Japan Plaza, turns HLJ were cheaper, and so was I!
Taking a punt on the lowest postage as my first HLJ order got here fine under it, fings crossed I don't come to regret it!

 

I remember getting that set for £10 from Woolworths. Still got them.
Oh, and @Large, I saw that the latest Lego minifigure blind bags have Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie


@barry loving your pictures of Red Alert. My MFT one arrived in the country on the 18th, now the trackings gone dark. :-/

 

What does the good future floor polish for tightening the ball joints currently look like? I'm so confused by all the different stuffs.

 

New arrival. Titans Return Tidalwave is here to punch everything in to the future.
