    I liked the first Twilight. Stewart and Pattinson were electric together.

    And Starscream is a Vic viper, with self-erecting null rays! Cyberverse is a real surprise this year.

    One of my orders has been cancelled due to the Corona virus. The seller messaged me on eBay to explain, and I’ve been refunded, so all’s good, it’s just that it would happen to be my legends Coneheads. It seems I’m destined never to have them in my collection:lol 

    I do have movement on Hardhead though:D

    I know what you mean. I spotted this in Forbidden Planet in Nottingham yesterday - £30+ is a bit too rich for my blood:

    Hmmmm. I'm just sat here wondering how g1 roller would fit with er prime. Think I'll be giving that a go.

    Wife is spending the day with a friend, so today will consist of watching picard ep4, adjusting some blinds, because getting someone to put them up at 8pm will make him do them funny as i said (and had to anyway because husband points) and fill some holes from old shelves. And then.... Might sticker trypticon. Because I'm not dropping £45 on the toyhax ones. As great as they look.


    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Bear down on it and it will make its way out eventually. Don’t strain too hard though.

    One Earthrise Prime put aside for me in FP, but I missed Crosshairs and Cyberverse Rack ‘n’ Ruin. Bloody women.

    As much as I love FP, some of the prices at my local store... £78 for the NECA TMNT 2 packs*? And yet the Siege figures are 'reasonable' at £20.

    Pops are now £11**, while Marvel Legends shelf warms at £20 never mind the extra £3 they continually take on and off until they eventually sell them for a tenner each. And yet the Magneto three pack people might actually want is £60! (mustn't be selling)

    *NECA prices in there are usually laughable, around £40 for an Ultimate figure now.

    ** How many people in Belfast are really gonna want the most specific Conan O'brien Pops at £15 each?

    Edit - These are great except the Groot, while looking amazing, is tiny and therefore poor value at today's prices.

    Most transformed with figure of the past few months has got to be Siege Barricade. There's something very refreshing about a pick up and transform in under a minute figure.

    I do worry that his door tabs will break in after a year or so [you seem to need to stress the doors up and over to lock on his legs] but I ain't fussed.

    Flame Toys Tarn up for PO at Kapow. Seriously considering him, only thing keeping me back is that I've read that the joints on Flame Toys die-cast figures get loose without doing much. Can somebody confirm/pitch in?

    Yup, sat here for nerly an hour now unable to buy tickets.....

    I may be being a little harsh and those of you that know me will know that I try to be a reasonable fella, I hope that cpomes scross in my posting too.

    It's been a challenging few couple of weeks both personally and professionally, I was really looking forward to booking and now I've got the arse....

    Surely the servers are basics? This isn't their first rodeo....!
