    Errr, hadn’t thought that far ahead. £12 posted? It’s all 5 swords, plus some tiny knives for Slash (I think the knives are there anyway). Think he’s discontinued them now.

    Ah, well I'll look forward to the Prime stuff then. If you have a Wheeljack I'd be interested, and if you have a Dark Energon Wheeljack I'll cut a bloody swath through everyone else just to get it.

    As much as i love my legends kup, the Hasbro one does look equally awesome and has the better alt mode as the square shoulders make a much better looking truck. And it is an awesome transformation. Really enjoying these reviews.


    Been doing some surgery on a tire.

    That's as flush as it will go. Can't carve out any more from inside or it'll be removing the centre of the wheel. Question is, do i glue the wheel onto the takara dragstrip, or find cheap Hasbro one and use him on menas0r?

    Cheers mate. I would definitely go with a Hasbro one, because face aside it has the better deco. The Takara one has the shoulders done in black to try and imitate the same wheels you're putting on there, so it would be a little redundant. Plus, the Hasbro one has all that gorgeous crimson breaking up the yellow.

    Paint over stickers anyday.

    Also think the eyes are going to end up painted. Whilst I appreciate clear plastic light piping it is pointless if there is nowhere for the light to pipe from

    So while adding friction to the tabs on my KO Dinobot with superglue, Some of it got on his chest, Nothing has stuck but it has that frosted look on a small part. I know I can use acetone to remove it but don't wanna risk the paint. Any tips? I heard that softening it by soaking it with a damp cloth for a few hours works? Just time consuming.

    So can anyone help? I'm trying to track down the perfect effect feet and hand upgrade kits for CW Bruticus and Menasor but having zero luck, I know they're older stock now, and places are unlikely going to get them in new.

    Not bothered about legit or ko, and don't want to spend crazy amounts of money.

    Anyone know of any websites that might have them in store even secind hand or loose? Googling only brought up that they are out of stock everywhere.

    Knew I should have jumped on them originally from Kapow, I was always happy with the stock HFG but bought the Abominus set in the sale and now the stock HFG look plain in comparison :oops:

    Respectfully disagree! Apeface was one of the first Transformers I ever owned so my nostalgia is far too strong to not absolutely love it! The first siege figure I will actually pre-order I think!

    Taking a punt on y first IDToys Pre-order, let's see how quickly this comes into stock. I'm going to guess - never.

    EDIT: Literally as I post this, it says it's been shipped. At that point, is it really a pre-order? :D
