    I always thought a faceplate that projected into the hole, or the mask being a full faceplate with the face-stripped-off Megs "skull" from his TFTM being the headmaster head underneath would've been a better way to execute it. Looking forward to seeing your sculpting!

    Yep, there were so many better ways they could have done it, even a junior headmaster style helmet that fits over the top of the Titan Master. I'll have to see if I can find any loose Titan Masters on ebay with a suitable face as I don't really want to mess the original one up.

    It's the PE one that was released 6ish years ago, I picked it up at AA2013. It's a nice figure, but a little fiddley and feels slightly fragile in hand.

    Do you fancy a TR Megs faceplate to mess about with, bud? I've got one sans TM bod floating about from swapping out the Amalgamous Prime Matrix plate for my Finback.

    Watching your guys galvatron talk has me thinking. How would it look with megatrons head on? I'm thinking possible sg repaint

    Edit: Would it be too small on its own for the body?

    Does that include postage?

    If you have greatsh0t (although isn't it quickswitch?) And you have a bulkhead, Then you also need a rid Strongarm.

    That posted? I could be tempted to upgrade mine next month if it's still available.

    That's a negatory Good Buddies.

    He's up on Kapow at £127 and while I've no doubt they will continue to sell out - proving there IS a market, I'm out of the game. If I can't pull the trigger for Hound - a character I've always had a soft spot for - there's only Jazz, Mirage and Trailbreaker left I'd even look at and at this level of pricing I'm fine with the 3P versions I've already got. Line.........closed.

    Beast Wars will continue to be considered on a price by price basis, BA is pushing it and I really, REALLY hope by the time they get to Rhinox (my fave) we aren't looking at £400+ for Big Bots. It'll be heartbreaking not to be able to pull the trigger on him.

    Very true, forgot about Strongarm. Yeah it's one of those continuity issues from IDW since Quickswitch is in the Visionairies cross over too, so I think Nick Roche said due to that it might be Sixknight (so definitely not Greatshot, curse my brain fart).

    Tempting, I may take you up on that if it's still available at the end of the month.

    Ebay:
    :) 
    This reminds me I still really want one of those Chaos on Velocitron box sets which where floating around some Home Bargain stores some months ago.
    Are they still about?
    I wouldn't mind adding a cheap Quickswitch to my Wreckers and a Nautica to my CHUG display along with a replacement Rod head as I've stolen the Titanmaster body of Rodders for a custom! ;)

    EBAY is your best bet but I've never seen one anywhere as good as the price was apparently in Home Bargains

    That’s a tad expensive, but will probably go with TFS at £105 with their reward policy.
    Brings it more in line with what I would want to pay, but only a couple to go now.

    That pricetag is just insulting, Takara and anyone paying that much needs their head examining as far as I’m concerned.
