Will let you know if I hear something more concrete, my wants would be,

Rocket ( But only if they do all new headsculpts and don't just downsize the 1:6 ones )
Groot ( GOTG1, Baby and Teen )

And if the MCU stuff did well enough for them to have a go at other lines a downsized Punisher War Machine would be nice as I think that design's great.

And thanks, all things considered it went nicely!

 

I've got a cheap Magnus for sale.

 

It's getting ludicrous how many toys are being locked behind geographical restrictions again. We are used to it, but it's crazy how difficult they are making them to even import now. To the point it's almost spiteful.

 

Well, nothing much to see here, just your common-or-garden safety barrier/bunkers with access hatches.


Well, now that's a bit sneaky! Chaff and/or Space Mine launchers on the back of 'em, eh?


GOOD LORD!!! BALLISTIC MISSILES!?! Isn't that a bit overkill? I don't know if we can sign off on this?

Ah, I see you've already submitted Form 156b and been ordnance-approved by the county council, carry on!

 

So after all the optimism at Katie's graduation I take another look at the Zeta Unicron thread and start despairing for humanity again  

And that's without even mentioning today's other big news, if there's a real Thanos out there who wants to do a finger snap and remove all the politicians from the universe then the Avengers can stay home.

Back to thinking about squirrels for me...and ferrets of course  

 

That was great will give it another go, really enjoyed the writing.

 

God the instructions that came with this are useless.

Figure however is very nice. Great to finally have a decent version of him

 

Cheers mate.

 

As long as it’s under 3m it’s permitted development. Carry on Laurence and Nick Knowles

 

It's a good job 'cause Lawrence has been decorating already!

 

Very good point. I realise that ID (and Kapow to whatever extent) are trying to work with these useless foreskins but at some point I think a little social media rabble-rousing on their Channel may be in order because it IS coming pretty close to discrimination - and while we still have the fig-leaf of EU law (not for much longer no doubt) that very much ain't allowed.

 

As much as I'm on the fence about buying him it would seem you have to try now or that chance could be gone for good. My wife's cousin is in Indiana so may get him shipped to her to then post on to me. This seems a ridiculous proposition for someone who has traditionally been a well known character. I know Kapow said the decisions are made so far in advance that we won't see the benefit of the changes at Hasbro UK for a while but someone clearly doesn't have a clue.

 

Each time @Seeaich makes a mod on fort max eat a bol of cereal you will ran out of cereal in two days max the reason cereal can't drink for now lol

 

Yeah, it's now become a massive fuck you as way back when at least importing was possible. Hopefully Japan will at least see a release and we're able to get orders in before the blonde tosspot manages to crash the pound.

It always seems to be Generations versions of Ratchet as well, I recall he didn't get his Universe toy released over here as well.

No new Transformers for me (not that there's been any to have) but I did pick up the Doctor Who Revisitations 3 boxset the other day for £1mb of the Cybermen, The Thee Doctors and the Robots of Death, good set with good extras means I at least have something to watch whilst I sweat myself to death in my bedroom

 

Or......they have a clue and don't give a shit.

Reissue of MMC Tryrantron up on Kapow - with their IDW Ravage as well - and cheeky as it is, shouldn't the "upgrade" bits be in the Box with Tyrantron? That's some sharp practice there MMC, perhaps a bit too sharp for me to reward it. Especially as the one "upgrade" I actually did want is a properly sized and shaped Fusion canon for our fave reformed Space Genocidalist.

That I would have bought no questions asked.

 

Hope the heatwave ends fast for you

 

So glad we're getting a Tyrantron reissue. I've had my fingers crossed since people started speculating when the add-on parts popped up at SDCC.

 

Well, as for all this Ratchet bullshittery I reckon I’ll be keeping an eye open for a Prime Ratch at TFN. There were plenty of Prime toys loose for sale last year, and I picked up a cheeky Knockout for a song.

 

Hi chaps, with all the Unicron discussions I wanted to throw my hat into the ring with my experiences buying a Haslab Sail Barge in case anyone's on the fence, it was suprisingly easy to get Haslab stuff dispatched to the UK.

The first step was to register for a US mailing address. I normally use USGobuy but due to the the barge's estimated dimensions and weight I instead registered with MyUS (they don't use volumetric shipping in 95/100 cases). Neither of them are subject to US sales tax. I'm still to decide with Unicron and I'll make a decision when I sort out the measurements and weight. Usgobuy provides 60 free days free storage and I cant remember with MyUS so feel free to check. I do know MyUS charges a monthly fee but I contacted them and they made it dormant for the 12 months between when it was pre ordered and when it was released.

The address provided by one of the above is the address you use for Haslab. When items released you simply get it shipped directly to you from the forwarder.
In this case Haslab>MyUs>My home address

I had a bit of a nasty shock when it came to the barge but I want to reiterate it was not MyUs's fault, instead Haslab altered the estimated size of the barge box to be 40 X 50 X 15 Inches and 14 Lbs and using this I got an estimated shipping cost too the UK of approx 70 USD, However when they released it the actual dimensions were 55 x 10 x 18 and 32 Lbs. This pushed it into the volumetric shipping bracket (It was still incredibly generous, something like 50 x 15 x 15 off the top of my head before volumetric shipping kicked in) so the actual shipping cost was 230 USD.

I think it was just under 600 pounds total for the barge including the customs rogering but if you go with Usgobuy you can mitigate this a bit by declaring what value you want. I expect Unicron to have a smaller box than the Barge so I'll probably stick with USGobuy for this one. Seeing as the barge is currently selling for up to 1600 GBP on eBay.UK it was well worth doing.

Hope this helps.

 

Must be a day of the week with a 'Y' in it!
