    I'm cautiously optimistic, but I won't be surprised if there's something the matter with him. I don't remember the last time I got a toy that didn't have SOMETHING wrong with it in some way :lol 

    Hell, the last Sky Lynx I got, the Combiner Wars one, had a misaligned pin through his aft section that made it difficult to transform.

    hey gents, failed to keep up.

    so thought I would say hello.

    enjoying the sun and working too much with football with my sons on the side. (my knees and ankles are fooked)

    hope all are OK and staying safe.

    Don't give me ideas! :eek:  (But Wraith is also a badass name.)

    It is tempting, but then I also know it will be tricky to add the 'tache...!

    hi bud I work for them and they have told us that they are expecting 4 hours que time just to get in the building (this in from stores else where in the world that have reopened). if you really want something there give it a week or two if you can as its going to be murder to just get in.

    Thank you for the info bud!
    Do you think the stores that are opening will offer any sort of Click & Collect service where one can just arrive at a designated time frame to collect at the back door? :confused:

    @doucoo,
    Hope the injuries aren't too bad...did you at least score some goals to show the young 'uns how it's done? :D 

    Things here are OK, I'm hoping that I'll be able to see my niece again soon now some of the distancing measures have changed but it's something I'll play by ear, I'm not convinced we're out of the woods yet.

    Watched a 4-part story on the 90's X-Men cartoon last night that had lots of time travel, Apocalypse and Mr Sinister working together, Wolverine being a bit grumpy and Scott & Jean still haven't worked out that their getting married almost always gets disrupted in some way :D 

    Also laughed when it said Sinister's lackeys were called The Nasty Boys as I instantly thought of the wrestling team of the same name, one of whom now resembles The Blob :D

    Decided to take a few legends sized dudes out with me on Bailey’s walk this evening, particularly enjoyed rediscovering Trailbreaker (could never get on board with Trailcutter!)

    Ah screw it. Enablement achieved. Overboard can be used as hydra, ptero will work as an alternative for a custom guy and I've seem to be building an army of ramhorns. Lol.

    sadly there hasn't been anything said about that kind of system they have been loving the extra money from the delivery service. people paying top $ to get it to them quickly. I will keep my ear to the ground for you but nothing as of yet

    The weird thing about the Nasty Boys was that they were utterly minor villains that never appeared outside of Peter David's X-Factor run, yet some how they managed to get into the cartoon!

    Going off on a tangent, I remember hearing that there was talk of an X-Men 2099 animated series at some point in the '90s. We were robbed. At least we got the toyline...

    The Rebels were preordered this morning at record speed. It was a wallet busting move though because I ended up ordering the Real Ghostbusters & Super7 He-Man/Battle Cat & Skeletor/Panthor packs. As I’m typing this though I realised I meant to add one of those TF Super7 figures & forgot.

    Bugger!

    Trailcutter? Who the Fuck is trailcutter! :lol

    Just transformed siege magnus and love the RID 2001 vibes and the genius way the front of the cab/backpack moves between one part to another on that rail system; very much reminds of the engineering used on Dai-battles v2 where arms move from wing section to torso (I think, going from memory and had a few drinks so cut me some slack, could be any body part!)

    I always felt Smokie went too niche with that version.

    So tempted to go in for the Marvel Legends Spider-Man retro wave... not gone for legends figures before, but understand it could be a slippery slope.

    Just wish I knew if there will be a wave 2 or not...

    For all it would cost Hasbro since they're already moulded, extra hands with a figure and a photographer with a clue (clearly not me) would really help them shift Legends figures. It's why I still buy Select alongside Legends.

    Look at how expressive it makes this guy
