Happy Birthday! Enjoy Control, it was one of my favourite games from last year. But then, I love Remedy games, so I'm a little biased  

Oh, and that reminds me, Happy (late) Birthday @Seeaich! I kept meaning to post it, but things like ER Prime got in the way.

 

I have had a look for another for you but no joy. I picked up the tactical batman and joker 2 pack from argos though. Its the single figure packs but a shrink wrap sleeve holding them together.

Happy birthday, sounds like a good haul.

 

Happy birthday!!

 

The time has come!
Six years sterling service but now it's time for CW Prime to retire from shelf duty!

You've served with honour, old friend, but your war is now over. May you find peace and solace in the Combiner Wars box - until such time as you get taken out again for a bit of Optimus Maximus shenanigans later on.

Mostly peace though, yeah?

 

Wait... Combiner Wars is how old?!

 

@Prescient

I really appreciate it, thanks very much!

Tell me who you're after and I'll keep an eye out.

For the armour pieces I need

Arkham Rebirth Batman

Fairground Gold Batman and Metallic Robin

Docks Manbat (not sure if he has a different chest armour piece?)

Also, I wonder is there a full gold armour suit? Seems weird to just have the cowl.

Opened the TMNT and they're fucking awesome, though sadly Raph is a shitshow so I'll have to complain about that and see what happens.

 

Happy Birthday @Lothar Hex!

 

Oh, yeah! That's exactly how I felt when I checked the TF Wiki!  
(Though I am kinda generously doing the rounding up as it's not the full 6 until December.)

Now it's ER Prime's turn to be reacting to a sudden Devastator and Megs appearance!

 

Damn... I still remember having to take the bus to Charlton, where the nearest Smyths was at the time, to look for Aerialbots like it was only a year or two ago. But it was half a decade ago at this point...

 

Those tmnt look great, I want to collect those but it's one series too many as started the super7 motu.

Here's my full 4 inch dc wave. Tactical batman and joker from the argos set are the opened figures. Joker was Arkham from the 2 pack which was ideal as I had Fairgound variant already. I just need another tactical batman rooftop mission and a normal Robin.

I have the other gold batman, not pictured which is the Arkham mission. Got the full armour set between them now anyway.

Picked up the Batcycle/Clayface and MG King Shark too.

 

The only one I know of is the Siege Tetra jet version. According to the wiki all the Voyagers in Seige have waist swivels except for Apeface, but we all know that's because he was held back from Titans Return 

Re: DC four inch figures, may get Batman, Robin, and the Joker if I see them (my local shops are shite), but wake me up when they announce Shazam.

 

@Underlord oh yer, deffo onboard for a Shazam..

 

Definitely massively underrated, tbh too much sh!t around his release hurt the toy instead of helping it. I'd watch out for the thigh screws though, lots of copies had them shear through the plastic and nullify the ratchet joint's outward motion.

 

@Lothar Hex,
 

 

Classics Prime for me. Time served 2006 - present. I never liked CW enough to duplicate characters I already had in CHUG or 3P (in fact I mostly only own the G2 versions of the combiners). Siege Prime I really like but as a cybertronian mode you can just pop him next to Classics, which is probably what I'll do with Earthrise.

I'm getting to the point where I'm finding it hard to justify a lot of the new guys. I'm gonna grab Inerno and Grapple as that makes my Botcon 2010 Pyro a bit more unique, but Hoist and Trailbreaker, new Wheeljack etc... I'm going to have a harder time justifying.

My current "solution" is buy them all and sort it out later. Made easier by decent preorder price points.

 

I'll keep an eye out. Any standard Robin or is there a weapons colour preference?

I went to Smyths to find they were closed despite Google saying they were open until 9... On top of that the TMNT figs have some serious QC issues. Glue everywhere, broken hand pegs, painted/unpainted parts... Need to decide what's less hassle in terms of dealing with it all.

@Underlord From memory there is a Shazam figure. Coulda sworn I saw a YouTube video.

 

Knightdramon revisits his teenage years, part 1...Binaltech haul #1

Nabbed these off a fella on FB. I still remember essentially saving up pocket money every MONTH as a teenager and buying the Binaltechs, one at a time. With EMS shipping it worked out to roughly 50 euros per head back in the day.

I was happy getting just the one figure a month while on a budget. They've got many things going for them---die-cast, scale, heft, paint, etc etc. Engineering is a tad dated, but they are 14-16 years old by now. Hound definitely has had better figures since, but I always had a soft spot for BT Skids.

No Ratchet or Ironhide are a tough pill to swallow, personally, but looking back, pretty much no G1 line since then has been fully complete before getting a reset or revamp every few years.

 

Thanks for the info! I have yet to get a Tetrajet!

 

Hey, Roadw4rrior. Have you been able to find the Prime armours?

 

I don't know why I find this so funny, but I do.

Anyway, this is why I don't feel the need to get an Earthrise Prime.
