    Yes I did immediately consider an Ambulon custom once I realised he split in half.

    Just glad I got to use that gif before anyone else! Welcome, I started with transformers and then experienced a whole new level of hurt with diaclone! Fun but expensive!

    Scouting Forbidden Planet tomorrow.

    Recently been hooked on Star Wars fever due to Rise of Skywalker on the horizon. Any of you guys collect black series and the such? What do you recommend.

    Ive been tempted by the Force FX Sabers they’ve got as well but at £179 ish each it’s gonna be a single choice. The new Kylo Ren one looks insane but not for £240 or whatever Kapow have it at.

    The Kenner vehicles and whatnot look mint as well.

    Triggerhappy is a stand out in the past 5 years and I believe Spinister is as well. They’re some of my favourites in my collection.

    Well going onto tfwiki and Indemand toys and seeing all the lines that have been since I last checked out transformers
    Thanks for the welcome sure I'll pick brains at some point. :) 

    What was meant to be just Sideswipe and Hound, quickly escalated when I got them in hand and had goosebumps. Next thing I knew I had Barricade and Soundwave on order.

    Soundwave was special to me because that was a toy as a kid I always wanted but I don't think made him anymore in the 90s so never found.

    I also have Hoist and Ironworks on ore-order.

    I too have been hit by the star wars bug again, but mostly due to the mandalorian, and I've mostly been looking at Lego. There's an upcoming mandalorian battle pack that looks superb.

    I would love a black series Mando but they've been, gone, and now subject to aftermarket prices.

    Siege is a great point to jump on. All the figures I've bought have been great, my personal highlights have been voyager class prime, ultra Magnus and Springer.

    If you have a home bargains near you, you might be lucky to find deluxe power of the primes slug (slag) and swoop for a tenner a pop.

    Sad News indeed. One of the greatest ever odd couple comedy double acts is down 50%.

    What was originaly a simple project at Namco aimed at learning how to incorporate texture modeling into 3D characters evolved into a title called Race War and was develloped by previous Sega AM2 members staff, like Seiichi Ishii (game designer on Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighters), finally became Tekken and was released in japanese arcades exactly 25 years ago today.

    [​IMG]

    It will eventualy bacome a popular franchise, notably noted to make you hate you friends 4 years later at home with Eddy Gordo.

    The Seiichi Ishii case is somewhat similar to Takashi Nishiyama (who created the first Street Fighter and then went to SNK and created Fatal Fury), to a lesser degree of course.
