    I'll PM you with a link when I'm next on my pc with the bookmarks. It's one of 'those' platforms I watched it on. The ones where a pop up blocker is a must. ;)

    Aye, I'm hanging fire on Rung & Slitherfang to pad out the rest of the order with the other tiny guys because the need isn't as mighty to have them NAOW but I do want 'em all (and I'm curious if Groundhog might be torso-swappable with Roadhandler for a cheeky Tailspin conversion, so if it works I might even want more).

    If going to The Range in Barnsley wear a mask, went there the other day after our social distance meet up and there was some cretin in there coughing and paying no attention to social distancing. Pissed me right off as I’d taken my mask off for a minute too, if I come down with the virus I know where I got it from

    It looks good. I like the fact it's about deluxe size. I take it you're replacing him withe Earthrise one?

    Black Series Cara Dune now en route! :) 

    Only slight snag is that I won't be able to do any pics of her with Mando and other figures straight away as my camera appears to have buggered up.....the zoom function has gone haywire and keeps activating without me touching the switch and I keep getting multiple error messages one of which actually says "Switch it off and then on again" :rolleyes: 

    I've had it about 5 years so I've got some decent use out of it but I imagine it'd cost as much to fix as get a new one and it's not like it was an expensive camera to begin with so Sky Lynx can wait a while longer.

    Better news as Rebecca ferret actually behaved enough to get all but about 2 claws trimmed and I negotiated the supermarket without deploying my distancing measures and only came close to shouting at Mum once so that's a result! :D 

    Have actually got further into Horizon Zero Dawn this time and have just learned how to override the Strider so you can use it as a horse. Got trod on by a giant giraffe looking thing with a flat head.

    PS5 = So far they've got me with the cat game and whatever the Spidey thing is as there appears to have been some confusion over whether it's a full on sequel or not.

    Rockstar however can do one with their GTA V "Special Edition" or whatever they're calling it. Never finished it on 360, never played the Xbox One/PS4 version and don't need to play it again.

    Just FYI anyone planning on nabbing the Clones might want to hit up Uncle Billy for their gear.

    Unless of course you prefer the original dark purple weapons, and are willing to gamble a stamp on Dr. Wu putting 'em out in those colours again!
    Also bear in mind it's likely Nonnef will reissue his and Pounce's gunblades in that set can be held as guns or blades without modding, where the Wu's are oddly sword orientation only as stock, BUT Nonnef's gunblades don't stow on Puma mode.

    Well Overload has arrived but as with all deliveries is in quarantine for a few days before I can release him from the postal packaging.

    It's either that or agree to the wife spraying his Studio Series box with dettol and give it a wipe down.
    Given the sorry state of all the food packaging after disinfecting by the wife, I can bear a few more days before DEVASTATION commences

    Tonight’s scary collecting story is courtesy of my “BookBox” reissue Jazz.

    He’s not that scary Skywarp, I hear you say. He looks in pretty good shape and well looked after.

    I’d say he is. He’s been owned since new by me, he’s MIB, stickers carefully applied, one missile off the sprue. Lived in a detolf for a bit and now he’s back in his plastic prison.

    Well then Skywarp you may ask, why is he scary?

    It’s all a matter of perspective. You know I said I’d owned him from new? Well that was in Summer 2002...18 years ago.

    Wow, I hear you say. 18 years sure is a long time, does that mean Jazz is old enough to drink?! Not quite, but the 18 years is significant because the really scary bit is that in 2002; it was 18 years since the launch of G1.

    My “reissue” Jazz is 18 years old, which is equidistant from what was supposed to be a more affordable version of what was considered a “vintage” toy upon his release.

    Just let that sink in...:eek:

    That's why I'm selling mine off, they've been transformed once or twice and just been lying around in their damn boxes since the early noughties. I finally realised there was shit that I could buy with the funds from them, like...more....Trans..formers. Ah bugger.

    These two decepti-goons have just arrived and been added to my ‘con ranks.

    Couldn’t resist them as a pair; I always think of them coming as a pair and their misadventures with the mecannibals.
