    Did any of you guys watch and enjoy Ford v Ferrari? I really loved it, and felt inspired to do some in-game photos based on the cars and track - as close as Project CARS 2 would allow - so here are the 1967 Ford GT and Ferrari cars at vintage Le Mans, with some old school filters :D

    All the best

    On current evidence assume later than the official street date quoted, that's March/April for Wave 1(so assume April/May at the earliest :p ), and if the recent leaked listings are actually Wave 2 then that could be June/July/August for the Rung repack if the releases stick to Quarterly.

    Amazing photos as usual.

    I’ve been trying to stick too season 1-2 carbots plus “Microchange” guys like Soundwave, Blaster and Reflector in my Masterpiece collection. I have no where to put a massive beast like Double Evil but he is so incredibly tempting. For me he captures what I thought the g1 toy would be like when I saw it in a department store in Germany as a child.

    Carnifex is very IDW and while I really like that interpretation of the character he’s not the G1 guy too me, Double Evil is.


    The Newage Insecticons are tiny marvels. I find each one very impressive but my bias is always for Bombshell. I just love his compact bug and I feel like you get more expression out of his proboscis. However I think Kickback is maybe the best. His transformation has a few surprises with the legs seeming like they couldn’t fit into his chest and his possibility is the best of the bunch.

    Nice, i thought about getting one but decided to go with the KO version of the original HA figure, looks ok with some paint apps but those legs just look wrong on both versions...still the SS version looks very nice and we may get an MP version at some point.

    Also spotted on the front page that the reissue G1 Astrotrain has been spotted in the US, I am a little disappointed its just in the toy colours..was hoping for them to do a show coloured version or even just use the Siege version's colours. Ah well at least its not something horrific like the last reissue.

    Big question is will any UK e-tailers get this instock?

    Have opened him and the paint apps are nice but it doesn't feel as polished as OS BmB Grimlock.

    To be fair Grimlock is based off the studio series which is a much newer design iteration than Scorn. Still very imposing in hand and heavy. 14 inches to top of head and 16 inches to top of claw/shoulder kibble.

    Yes on Kadmos. Somehow I ended up with two, and I don't like Him that much...........there may have been drink and/or boredom involved.

    I watched a really bad, somehow boring documentary about it, looking forward to seeing the film though.

    Boris hasn't got rid of NI just yet!

    Unlike Kapow, IDToys offer free delivery to NI. As do Comics and Cocktails.

    Hey @Astro-Furby Ref: KO Binaltech Jazz - just found him... and his right door which has broken off. Very disappointing to say the least.

    This is why I collect; the thrill of the hunt. Its taken me about 6 years to track down these guys

    I don't do Movie Toys, I tend not to do Legends even, and I really don't care for the movie these came from, the robot modes are pretty shocking, and they in no way fit in with any of my collecting goals. But for some reason as soon as I found out these existed having never ever seen them for sale anywhere, I knew I needed them.

    It took a long time, but I finally got Transformers ROTF EZ Collection Delivery Skids and Delivery Mudflap. Even if I don't understand why I feel I needed them.

    Shrapnel's usually my favourite Insecticon but I'm inclined to agree on Kickback for this particular set, just had to be careful swinging his arms out on those super thin pieces during the transformation.

    I've watched a video review of their Megatron a couple of times and the transformation doesn't look too bad, certainly in comparison to MP05 or X-Transbots Apollyon which where my last figures of that version of the character.

    That is meant to be yellow. Looks more orange to me.
