    Doublesided fists seem to be goers, will get them painted and a new chest cast tomorrow. So I can work out how to mount the bloody thing

    It normally means that preorders are being sent out - then any remaining stock gets listed on the site.
    *edit* Hmm, reading their facebook a week ago Kapow was saying no news on them and suggesting canceling them... may be worth getting in touch with them for an update.

    Is there anywhere that still sells the hip ratchets for CW Optimus/Motormaster?

    Yeah, I think that the Hasbro UK supply failure has put Kapow on the backfoot whilst trying to source both the Wave 2 Battlemasters & Chromia, I'd suggest cancelling them and hopping on Amazon US to nab 'em sharpish while they're still $5.99 and in-stock (currently 12 Aimlesses left!), with shipping the pair of 'em are about £14 so £7 apiece which is pretty good IMO, 99p off RRP!

    Welp, I only noticed Spider-Man:Homecoming had dropped on Netflix this week (which is unusual as Netflix normally spams me to death with new genre stuff) and so I have finally watched HollandSpidey's first solo film, and I kinda love how low-key, street-level it is and that they made it a Teen comedy hybrid. Like it's nice that the ending isn't a WORLD IN PERIL! event but Pete pulling Happy & Tony's asses out of the fire while superhero-grounded. Great to see a kid Spidey that looks and acts like a kid, who sometimes messes up and scuffs his knees (I LOLed at his building site webswing faceplate "I'M OKAY!" to no-one). Might have to hit the Cinema for Far From Home now.

    Found an old shapeways target master. Joints are loose but some paint should fix that. And guess cross hairs has his targetmaster guy. So yey, no battlemasters need to be bought.

    I still can't believe how great that ss jetfire looks. If any of you fine folks with him don't want that optimus chest piece that comes with him, I'd be interested in taking it off your hands. I'm wanting to have the non abs look as an option for the d0tm prime when i get him.

    I only saw it a few months ago and loved it. I hope they can resist the urge to reboot Spidey again and we just get a couple of decades of movies following Holland's Parker through college and beyond.

    My main worry is the Sony producer arseholes like Pascal trying to spin him out of the MCU into their own self-contained Spider-Verse again, the potential downside of both this and the success of Into the Spider-Verse is them getting cocky about their grasp of "the market". Not to Disney stan because all of our favourite things being owned by a single Corporate Overlord isn't fine and dandy but Sony's pretty good at being a corporate dick itself, and have managed to sabotage their own cash cow at least twice (increasingly pissing in Sam Raimi's pool during his trilogy, trying to shoehorn an entire Spidey-Spin-Offs franchise into a sequel film to a not-entirely-terrible reboot instead of making that film a good one. I'm not confident they won't manage the Hat Trick!

    Do as the others have said. No one can predict when the Battlemasters are coming or even if they are!

    @Seeaich you lovely jubbly. I just ordered the next 2 BMs from Amazon.
    Not sure I need Caliburst as I have Legends Slugslinger but probably find someone to use him or repaint.
    As for Smashdown I have some hopeful plans for him. I was very tempted to buy 2.
    I'm not ordering any Siege stuff in advance now. I'll wait for Amazon or UK stock to be in hand first.

    I was watching a video of it, you have lift your self over to get in. I'm now at the age where I can do that, but would have to have a serious think about whether it would be worth the effort :lol

    I think wind farms are evil, and that's why I'm not on television any more.
