    I actually checked his legs at Yeti's stand before I bought him and they're solid! I imagined they must be since the stickers were so good and no broken tabs, generally seemed like a very well looked after, barely used Sandstorm.

    However, I also got an unused one from Yeti, no stickers applied and in pristine nick - not a Classic one either - and he has weak legs. Typical.

    All the best

    Bulkhead?? I simultaneously hope that it is and it isn't, because I'd love to see it but I'd also be compelled to buy it!

    Guess who has a shiny new lightbox and just happens to have had Prowl within reach?

    So, no excuses for crappy TF and Gunpla photography from me. Now I just need a little practice and a lot of luck! I should probably learn some basic photo editing skills as well.

    ...anybody else wondering if at some point in the design process they were gonna go with one of the extra fists being Grimlock/Volcanicus' gun?

    Very much enjoying the re-issue Starscream I picked up at TFN.

    However I’m annoyed by the shorter null ray missiles as they are ridiculously long and I’d like them to fit more accurately - any ideas where I could get some shorter/originals from? eBay and FB groups no joy.

    We’re totally getting a Commander Class Breacher.

    At least, that’s the rumour I’m starting....

    Never thought I'd see these sorts of paintjobs on Hasbro figures. Reckon they're trying to compete with the improved KO market?

    Somewhat unsuprisingly my message to Medicom customer support was met with a reply of "We don't do spares for international customers on items that were only sold in Asia" :rolleyes: 

    So on the off chance I gave the dealer I bought MAFEX Spidey from ( Playasia ) a shout to see if they would be able to get me a new arm and I got a reply saying if I took a pic of the damaged wrist peg and provided the invoice number form the shipping box they'll be able to see what they can do. I briefly thought "Oh shit" as I thought the shipping box was long gone but managed to find it so I'm going to get that info sorted and see what occurs.

    Pretty damn cool of them to even do this considering it's the first item I've ever bought from them, I'm an international customer and it's been 2 months since I bought the figure.

    Hasbro have announced a Marvel Legends Alpha Flight set with NorthStar, Aurora, Vindicator, Snowbird, Shaman and Puck which will apparently be a worldwide Amazon Exclusive....knew the buggers would make me pay for a complete Sasquatch on ebay :D 

    Robots = Not quite sure what's going to be next on my shelves, probably from the following,

    Iron Factory light blue Seeker
    Iron Factory Helex
    Iron Factory Tesarus
    Newage Insecticons
    Magic Square Hoist

    Watched the new Unicron video and whilst the achievement is something for the engineering fans to wax lyrical over it looks to me like everything I didn't like about Masterpiece transformations turned up to 11...….there are far cheaper ways to do origami.

    That being said, I do really like the gimmick on planet mode where you turn the dial thing and all the teeth move, they should add a sound effect of him going "Nom Nom Nom" :D 

    Socks = Mine have to be kept safely in a drawer otherwise there's a 99.9% chance they will be stolen by my ferrets who have a bit of a weird obsession with human socks, shoes and if given the chance, feet.....going barefoot or even just wearing socks in their presence is not recommended as if Rebecca decides to have a nip she clings on so tight I can lift my leg up and she'll just dangle there.

    Finally followed @Seeaich’s advice. That’ll do!

    I’ll hopefully get round to painting the faces later

    Issat the three 'Bot bois? Tidy!

    Hurm, somewhat disconcerting when your tracking goes from what usually indicates air departure back to where it last was in China.
    I keep telling myself, "Don't look at the Tracking, Fire & forget, Chris." Success rate at that thus far: 0
    Though last time I was really patient the longest it did indeed turn out that Huge Dragon had bounced back, bah!
    Right, time to pencil in giving TF Safari a poke if there's been no status change by Wednesday.

    Argh, if that parachute fella has articulation at all I might very well need one. A right bugger getting the whole Shockwave lot together though.
