Does anyone have any Shattered Glass Faction Stickers they wish to rid themselves of?

 

Yeah, this was mostly just a learning experience so far, getting to grips with the scripting language, so a short, linear prologue is ideal for it.

Without giving too much away, the next part is able to be a lot more open, with different branches for exploring different parts of the ruined city. Also there’s the BIG MYSTERY of what the MYSTERIOUS ROBOT might be. Could it be...

...a ZOID?

(I also realise the identity of the narrator is barely mentioned so far. I might be wrong but I think it only comes up if you try and call for help?)

As for bad endings with sudden, brutal deaths... don’t get your hopes up. Mine was a house of LucasArts, not Sierra. Of Monkey Island, not Space Quest. Plus I’ve been playing old Fighting Fantasy books on ios apps, and, well, there’s some dumb ways to die there.

Presumably the boring answer is that it doesn’t conform to US and/or EU safety standards. Also the gum is shit.

 

Hot Toys Mantis prototype on the Sideshow stand at SDCC     

And whilst I usually roll my eyes at Star Wars merch I've been unexpectedly blown away by a Hot Toys Wicket, it's proper furry and everything!

Maybe this will be the next stage in the evolution of using faux fur that may one day bring me a furry Rocket?

 

Heck, I'm a big softy so no chance at all getting flash frozen ready to be served as foodstuff to carnivorous aliens is fine by me!  
Hmm, Do you think all that coke floating about is why so much popular 80s stuff had the occasional vicious streak?

 

How do you know your wife is a keeper? When telling her about the plan it repaint Unicron and primus, declares them perfect as is and decides it's better to buy the retool. So I'm keeping an eye out for the Amazon Unicron i guess.

Painting his shell would lose all the sculpting and not look great anyway.


I could tell and called it, new Unicron had a backpack from a front pic. Good that people seem to be OK with it.

 

Totally looking forward to running through this tomorrow dude!

We have been known to bump into each other at the council of evil meetings.

I got a pretty tiny and cheap one on Amazon. Worth a go!


Last one for the night... Victory!

 

That's ace.

 

Nicely done! Lots of nice little cliffhangers and it hangs together really well. Nice UI too.

 

@Avon Stop stealing my early morning post thunder  

Looks like the Rainmakers and the Micromaster set will be Target exclusives, here’s hoping for Kapow and ID Toys to come to the rescue...

 

Yes. Yes it is.

 

Would that have something to do with it being manufactured in 1992?   

 

Mornin' all.

So the Rainmakers are a Target Exclsuive (FUCKNOODLES!!) & already out in the Land of the Free to boot. So some lucky bludgers are already at five of the things and we are still waiting to see if Thundercraker will actually arrive in August. Or not.

Life. Not. Fair.

And back in realityland: If they are yet another bloody "exclusive" that just adds to the cost of the Rainmakers. £33 for Redwing (and he was from the same Target stable) does not leave me hopeful on a sub-£100 price.

Add in the issue of StarActionFigures just listing ALL the Marvel Legend 80th Packs (it's £215 if I splurge for all of them) at the same time and it's looking like yet another very expensive summer.

I've already decided that Diaclone is getting the chop, the Big-Bots are too few and far between - and too expensive for what you actually get - I really don't want to spend £150 to get the Battle Buffalo done in white just to keep up with the Joneses - and the upcoming releases don't excite me that much either. Sad, but........money.

And I think that's all the doom and gloom I need this morning.

Siege 3, you're my only hope. And at least you're paid for.........

 

The ones I tried were from the then current Starsabre and Overlord kits.

 

Well, my Justice League figures have sold pending payment, so I think that'll be a Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime for me in the near future. If some other stuff would sell, I might even just treat myself to the more expensive one in Forbidden Planet (which I can walk to, and see the paint apps in package)...

First play with Siege Flywheels last night and, despite not being very good at getting the two vehicles to sit on top of each other, he's a very handsome robot and I'd actually quite like the one from that two pack (not as bothered with G2 Swipe as yet). Great little tank and plane too.

Siege Starscream continues to impress - fantastic alt mode, amazing sculpting, and that articulation is plentiful. Plus all joints on mine are nice and tight.

 

I feel exactly the same way with Diaclone, which is such a shame when the first two big molds were my favourite toys of their respective years. I liked Battle Buffalo but he didn't wow me. I'll stick with them for now, but I only buy the first version of each big bot, I'm not bothered about a million different vehicle packs or paying £30 for five tiny figures who came off the mold sprue with the last big bot I bought but we're held back and slapped in a separate box.

It's a pay to play hobby, but Diaclone doesn't even pretend to love me.

 

Excited to read this morning about the articulated vintage MOTU line that Mattel are looking to release.

If they aren't rarer than hens teeth and cost the amount of a kidney on the black market then I may be in for He-Man and Skelator, at least.

 

Grandus is definitely a rich man's Metroplex, but it is fair to say Metroplex is a better playset.
Feels like everyone had Metroplex in 86

 

I'm probably unhelpfully late to the party, but this worked fine and lovely for me. Nice work!

Kissy kissy!

So true! I remember three of 'em within my little circle of friends, one of which had plastic wheels instead of rubber. What's that all about? (It's ok. I now know what it's all about. No need to link me to the running changes article on tfwiki)

I'm having a reveal sugar crash now. I don't even know what I'm meant to do with myself anymore. I'm actually sat here, pointless musing on how Rung's arms look a bit like the arms from the Prime Master decoy suits. Where's my blessed sanity now?

"I've disciplined bigger bots than you, Pal"

 

Kapow SDCC Pre-Orders are up, that's just MP-10 Ghostbuster Prime Transformers-wise, no Lancer listing yet.

 

It would be stupid after selling mine for far less than I paid for it, but I do fancy picking up another POTP Grimlock as he's a good lad. Unless the new WFC trilogy is going to provide us with another team of Dinobots that are a bit better?
