    Been a long few last weeks, but now have a little time to write in the forums :) 

    Been inundated at work; between getting a massive promotion and caught in the middle of a reform I find that I am essentially doing both jobs for a few weeks at the very least. Hmmm.

    Having said that, I'm drawing a blank at TFs at the moment. Think last release I got was an impulse buy of Siege Barricade [first experience with that mould, is genuinely a very fun if TINY figure]. I wanted Siege Astrotrain and may eventually get it but a bit miffed that he's roughly Siege Springer height and doesn't look THAT great in shuttle mode.

    A bit torn on getting some new TFs...it feels more like wanting some because you see them everywhere/advertised and not necessarily because you want them. MMC Combaticons are a good example. They look great but really unsure if I want a combiner. Am waiting on FT Skydive to ship my "repaired" by a retailer FT Silverbolt...that I sent back in freaking August. I've paid off the figure and have had it for a grand total of...1 day? Bit fed up with FT anyway so unsure what to do with the set. Literally only reason wanting them was because they fit my airplane collection.

    Same reason I want the endlessly delayed MT Dirge. Almost there.

    After selling all my X-Transbot Stunticons I find myself enchanted by their toy set. Again, decisions. Not sure I'm keen to pay more for each member now than I paid earlier this year for their toon versions lol.

    I am, however, having a blast with retro videogames. This last weekend I am just blasting through Pokemon Yellow whilst watching walkthroughs of the original resi2. Double retro!

    Hey all! Hope you guys are all well. I'm enabling myself

    Wanted to ask if anyone is selling any inbuilt Flame Toys Kits? I'm looking for megs or sg attack mode prime.

    Also scalping! I got this signed Kei Zama print at tfn but it kind of scares my girlfriend so I can't keep it up in the house. It's all framed up, delivered for £30.

    He’s not too flakey for a vacuum chrome... bug I always feel like so much detail on these guys gets lost. I’m very tempted to get in and paint him up. Some nice dry brushing would really bring out the details.

    Sometimes Google Creeps me out.

    I used a non google search engine to search for info on Gundam Zeku. I then posted something related to Zeku on this board and I wasn't using Chrome Browser. Then I go to Youtube on Chrome and I see recommendations for videos about Zeku Gundam. When I had NOT been watching any videos on Gundam (just Diaclone vids). So I guess that means Google is spying on me even when I am not using their platforms and that frankly creeps me the heck out.

    Wow everybody is still here :) 

    How you all doing?

    Me, I've been out of transformers for ages now. Sold most of my stuff in the last year and am enjoying not really having toys anymore. The current line of figures does look like some of the best that Hasbro have put out in a long time though.

    Have a great festive season everybody.

    Laters.

    The Brothers Has never saw fit to cry out a discrepancy between these two (even if they were under the influence of the pound note at the time) so who are we to? It's in the skies, it's coming, and it's making an awful noise, that's similar enough right? :p

    This vehicle mode is delicious. Gotta appreciate this release giving the big rig some OG G2 love.

    Hnngh, that Jetfire is a good price and I do have a £10 Amazon voucher I could use.

    However, I have got the Phantomstrike Skywarp set on the way from the US along with Apeface (that white plastic better be prepared to get a nice wash to bring out the detail!), the Transform Element Legends size Black Arachnia on the way from China, a Landcross chestplate, right fist and crotch on the way form eBay (just need to find a head, left fist, Tacker and Tackle's guns and feet now unless I'm successfully able to cast them.) and MP Blackarachnia to pay for very soon.

    I think I'll pass on Jetfire when I type all I have coming like that.

    I always assumed they were later KOs of the Grandstand release, I would be interested in knowing, I picked up the red/blue version a few years ago, it remains my only version of this mould, albeit still in its box in ze loft, not too bothered by it to be honest (embarrassingly, the only base-bot I like is the recent Optimus Maximus, which even I admit is pants...cool gun though), I would hope to pick up the WJ one sometime.

    Laters.
