    Yup!
    I love a good Space Dad and the last Op I bought was a KO Evasion Mode Op so I could get the KO upgrade kit that came with it. It's been quite a while since I've bought an official Optimus so it was well overdue!

    I do like the Siege and Earthrise Op's but being the height of Classics Voyager Op just isn't quite tall enough for me. :( 
    WFC Galaxy Op in his powered up mode is the same height as my Toyworld Orion which is a good size for me! :)

    Just attempted to transform Iron Factory Heat Death to dragon mode and gave up after 10 minutes of bits popping off, stuff coming untabbed when I didn't want it to and seemingly being no further along in the process with a robot mode that now doesn't seem to go back to how it was before I started :mad: 

    Still love ya IF, but this transformation's firmly in the "Fuck that" category.

    Progress. I got Heat Death back to original robot mode configuration :D 

    Will probably have another go when my headache has gone.

    I love that picture from the Hasbro guy of Unicron fishing but couldn't help wondering whether the cat pushed him to a watery grave :D

    I imagine when the higher ups at Hasbro they threw a mild fit that he'd placed a literal one-of-a-kind prototype so close to the water.

    Has anyone had to pay import tax on more expensive toyhax labels when ordering to the UK?

    Updated the battlefield once again, this time with the latest ER additions. Still not a complete showcase as others are on a different shelf, e.g. Magnus, Springer and Impactor with the rest of the Wreckers.

    "Y'know what, maybe it's time I had a crack at cutting some black swatch stickers to give Red Heat some G1 homage chest vents and make him a bit more differentiated from Top Shot's - it shouldn't take long..."

    Urgh! So much for "quick" last minute bright ideas - NEVER AGAIN!

    Until next time, that is!

    My own favourite quote, "There's no such thing as a five minute DIY job."

    And even worse, in the course of sorting something you find all these other things to fix with it!

    Does anyone know anywhere that still has MFT-21 Swooper - the metallic coloured Swoop, not the toon colour one - still in stock?

    I have Sludge and Slag and still see Snarl and Grimmy around but can't seem to find Swoop

    Very useful thanks. Also thanks for the links . I much prefer dynamic displays!

    Maybe be walking a forum tightrope... but now far more clear on flight stands than 'staying alert'

    I think I'm supposed to be at work in the shop that can't open. No idea. I'm in Scotland anyway, so who knows.

    I've gone for Public Enemy and Neverwinter instead, with a good bit of playing with ER Prime. Poor Nightbird still languishes overshadowed.

    Just got these guys in the post! But due to my fickleness; moving on to Model Kits & kreo, they're no longer wanted.
