    I'm really hoping NECA or even Super 7 (£45 minimum) could get the licence but if Storm have SOR4 and the likes of Golden Axe and every other notable beat em up... It sucks.

    I'd buy that figure at £55 and assume the licencing, extras, likely small run etc covered the cost. But £83 is madness. NECA have made deals with major movie stars like Arnie, Sigourney, even James Cameron, and made £25-28 figures in that scale!

    CARD UPDATE!

    Sleeves are (finally) done!

    Admission time, my wife cut most of them out because she's like 10x faster at cutting then me.

    Just got to wait for a few more cases to arrive (I'd underordered) and they'll be shipped out!

    HI,

    I have a question about ebay - any help is very much welcome.
    I sold an item, and the buyer is claiming that is "not as described". The buyer is openly lying in the case he opened. Ebay wants me to do a return, but the buyer IS lying to initiate the return. Moreover, there is a risk that the buyer will damage the item or send me pieces of it... how can one protect himself in these cases? Does anybody have any experience of this?

    You probably can’t protect yourself. Do you have pictures of the item before you sent it? Any evidence it was as described?
    but chances are you will just have to accept the return and hope they haven’t trashed it.

    You are vague as to how the item isn’t as described and this also affects your chances of what happens next. As a seller I have twice had this issue. Once I did manage to appeal it with eBay (buyer said the item was used when it was new and on a sealed card!), but I know that was a rare situation for eBay to back the seller, 99% of the time they will back the buyer.

    But the number of times I have used the item is not described for buying G1 figures.... “Jetfire is pure bone white” erm, no it’s not, it’s yellow than the sun! “The figure is in excellent condition” erm no, it’s been chewed by a dog/child and it’s missing pieces.

    I hate buying G1 figures on eBay... another smaller reason why I will miss TFN this year.

    Things Toyhax probably won't do: well if they can't get him hauling Pepsi over there, we can have him delivering much needed cake over here.

    Genius creativity that....

    I always thought Hot Rod would be more of a Jaffa than Optimus.

    Uh, also also Tiny Thunderwing turns out to have an unintended but passable-if-a-bit-PCC-Minicon-partner "weapon mode".

    I actually thought the extra mass and losing the gunbarrel for the jet nose wouldn't allow for a useable one!
    Perfect Too Extra-ness achieved!

    I'd love to see consoles developed today that somehow hold their controllers like Japanese releases did. Or do wireless charging!

    Especially because today's consoles look so fucking bland. Like I get it, there's a lotta airflow needed, but surely we can do better than a black boxy doodah. FFS at least get away from black. At least the PS5 pad suggests a white system.

    Good morning one and all!

    It is Sunday isn't it? :confused: 

    That AMG does look pretty sweet - I have the previously released Deluxe version of that Soundwave which is nice!
    No I sold mine to a more than capable gent within this very thread! ;) 

    Talking of sales and the like - I received a few bits recently via the good folk here :D

    Can I also take a moment to salute & celebrate the absolutely batshit insane series of coincidences and confluences of events & decisions, including the initial designer of Nitro Zeus for fillum, him making the character cut, the Mad Genius who absolutely made that Bayhem into one of the top tier Movie toys ever, and whoever made the decision to have that beautiful bod be headmaster-compatible that gave us the most fantastic, "Come at Me, Bro!"-able embodiment for a wee Decepticon Leader noggin fella missing an actual full size body?

    GLORIOUS!!!

    Watched MTMTE part 3 while transforming my Fanstoys Roadking [sacrilege, I know, he's not even in the episode].

    It is so nice to look back at the humble beginnings and marvel at the storytelling and overall simplicity of the early cartoon episodes. Certain bots had fairly prominent roles and then just faded into obscurity.

    How different would the 2007 movie be if Hound stayed on as the human-liaison instead of Bumblebee? Would we be on our 40th iteration of Hound as a dark green Buggati Veyron or something?

    I really love your custom and enjoy the Zeus as a headmaster - I've thought of trying to track down the Thundercracker and KSI versions just to mess with the various spare heads I have? Might add them to my Wants List in case any cheap ones pop up!
    Anyone on here looking for a cheeky Trade if you have them? I got Bots to go! LOL! :D ;)
