    Yeah he is fantastic. Just shows how good Laser Optimus was for a figure almost 25 years old. Black Convoy wears it the best mind you even though he’s lacking the lacking the LED feature. The colours are outstanding and the pink works better than the deeper red of Scourge if just pops in almost any light... and sooo many weapons.

    My favourite version of the mold might actually be the E-hobby Magnus. It just really works.

    Ha ! I'm quite walking on eggs with money to be honest, and surely never meant to end with, in fact, even more Siege stuff than I only dreamed about in the first place.
    But, since exactly one year ago, life has been... Kinda of a struggling nightmare, on every possible fronts. I won't wax poetic on the details but yeah, life sucked hard.
    It's far from being real good right now buuuut after months of fighting I'm on the right tracks, at least it starts to feel that way. I won my case agains't my ex-employer, I'm in love and with full support, dad's health stabilised, and I have an objective, career wise.

    So you know, it's not the most sensible thing to do but lastly I though to myself: "I deserve something good. I want to treat myself with some boxes full of robots that I so much fucking love !"
    And I am :) 
    There're not many words that can describe what I felft when I opened Omega.

    Also there's no way I let you guys have all the fun !

    Everyone deserves to treat themselves sometimes @Large

    Sorry it’s been a rough time. You definitely sound like you deserve something good.

    It's typical that Ratbat/Rumble has gone up with no preorder when I'm skint, isn't it?

    I'm slightly annoyed that I'll have to buy a second Pteraxadon to get Rung & Singe. It is one of the best Battle Masters, but I don't really need two of them.

    I thought both ID's & Kapow's listings were Pre-order? Are you spotting elsewhere?

    Sucks about the rough time. I get where you are coming from though my bot buying is and always has been a source of enjoyment regardless of financial burden.

    Carry on buddy.

    Both Id and Kapow are both pay upfront for ratbat/frenzy (fight me lol) and Direct hit and power punch.

    Rung, singe and Pteraxadon have the deposit option though

    Hmmm I have like £25 left this month unless I pick up some odd jobs somewhere. I can’t decide what to get. Spinister, Apeface or Ratbat,Rumble and The minibots. I’m thinking Spinister. He’s a favourite of mine, but I feel like if I miss any of these guys they will be gone and it’s aftermarket prices.

    Still none are out here yet so I have time. I’ll probably try selling some stuff.

    Beaten to it! I should have mentioned that part...

    Speaking of preorders, has anyone heard anything about when ID are finally getting the Impactor/Mirage/Barricade wave? They seem to have been in the wild for ages.

    Accordingly to their updated stickied FB post they've have/had Mirage in the last 2 weeks but there's no separately listing for Barry Cade or Impactor so I guess they're counted among the "TF Siege Final Waves - November-December" guesstimate.
    Nothing but sympathy for Team ID, their elusive Exclusive seems more of a millstone upon the ol' neck...

    ...it must be frustrating fielding all the queries each time the arrival date slips again.

    GOOD LORD! Siege Ratchet's got me Daim Choc'D!?!

    Ratchet is looking suitably epic there!

    My advice would be spinister. He's a fav of yours, and he's a scavanger. That alone means he'll have the highest priority for a lot of people and will be the hardest to find on the after market, both availability and price.

    Hmm. I think a rather large package may have found itself lost (hurrah for oxymorons) in the mail. Curses. That or the post is incredibly slow from overseas right now. Such unpredictability is becoming predictable of late (I did it again?). A minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, though.

    Have I just bought a TR Krok as well? IS RELATED TALK IN HERE ENABLING ME? Jesus, I really must want to complete a Scavengers lineup *shudders*.

    Show Z have THE most confusing sale on today. That or I'm drunker than usual.

    @Seeaich, lovely work on Ratchet.

    Where's Merak?

    Is that paint or dye on the hands and pants? Someone on Radicons dyed theirs and it’s taken rather well.

    Really feeling classics fatigue at the minute not sure if anyone else is in the same boat. Moving has just gone to show how much space they take up. We're talking 10 underbed boxes and 3 titans (4 soon with scorpinock) compared to 2 for mp and 1 for legends.

    I'm sick of the constant replacing and upgrading, I've just been looking at siege ratbat and can't stomach the £20 he's going for when I have at least 2 other versions of the guy. May pick him up if the pack lowers in price down the line but I ain't jumping through hoops.

    Definitely in need of the fat trimming and I need to think twice before I buy any earthrise stuff.

    Be careful when dying white red, it takes really fast so try and do a few quick dips and check each time. You can get away with clothes dye if you want to do it on the cheap though but if you want some reusable stuff the ritt dyemore is great that Seeaich recommended

    Dyed, I slightly overcooked it too trying to make sure the tone was even, red dye works FAST! But, y'know, it's wartime innit? Darker red is grittier, yeah.
    Prising his pants apart though? To quote Egg Shen,"It wasn't easy!"
    Fortunately I was full of Dutch, or rather Caribbean, courage!
    It could happen - if Ratchet turns up in B&Ms! :p  Otherwise it's a bit rich for my blood (for The Mod God)!
