    You must be a dab hand at keeping drinks cool mr. Zero

    Danka motorman! I like them, but I don't know if I'd encourage anyone else to take the plunge on them. Flawed but fun.

    All great recommendations bud. A new overload would be sweet.

    The lack of yellow spoiler is a sin to be sure.

    Then he is responsible for the mental scars the experience shall leave him with. Someone fetch me my wanking butter. Unsalted..

    Glad your better dude. Ferrets make everything better. That is a classic fr. Ted moment

    Leader Ratchet eh? Maybe he comes with a shitton of lil medical accessories with his battle sled too?

    It would only be a Micromaster at the current time, a shame as I am pretty much over them as a concept these days.

    For a laugh, try putting Magna Convoy into ebay. Don't hurt yourself with the 'nope' whiplash.

    Morning All,

    My order from Jream (Pro Design) came at the start of this week. 10 days from US to UK. Quite happy with that.

    I ordered the autobot emblem from him to fit Dx9 Gabriel on the chest. I will need to take a look at other related accessories he may do given the quality of the emblem. I’d certainly recommend him or suggest you consider.

    A toss up between glue or blue tack to hold the emblem in place and I went with the latter. Seems to hold quite nicely.

    Some snaps below with my last MP (3P) purchase.

    And with that, you have killed off any passing thought I had of getting one. Plus the fact that the grey plastic looks like a return to the bad old days of too-cheap-to-be-true swirly shit.

    Netflix Megs shall be my Megs until they push out a Premium Paint job in about 6months or so.

    And speaking of Capt Angry, he's coming out with me today. Should be a hoot. IMG_20200620_091742.jpg

    Bereft of the two large gins and several wines that fueled my drunken fumblings last night, this morning I have managed to get everything to hold together but, I have to say, I don’t like the solution much; its all a bit too fiddly for my taste.

    The tabbing on Apeface is horrible, which is a shame because I really like him otherwise. He's probably the weakest Siege figure.

    I've been fiddling around with Aragon (or Catherine as he is known around the house), and he holds together much better than Cog. I pick him up without his legs falling off, which is nice. He's lost one of his guns to Wheeljack though.

    one solution that keeps the jet nose cone relatively close to the back is this-

    image.jpg
    It allows for greater head articulation too. All you’re doing is wedging the piece between the two chest halves as apposed to tabbing it down like the instructions say.

    image.jpg
    the curved flat piece on his back is leaning inwards a bit, and the nose cone is pegged into it. The neck pieces the head is attached to are arched up like a bridge.

    hope this helps!

    Well, bugger, while I was messaging an eBay seller about the paint defects on their 35th Anniversary Megatron, some savvy shopper swiped it from under my schnoz.

    Anyone looking to sell theirs? XD

    Is this site a scam? It’s glabool.com. It has some stuff from Siege, SS and Cyberverse. 08465168-402B-4E7F-AEF5-C03D8A0BEA49.jpeg

    Quick Google says they're new, only accept card payments, and their contact info is incorrect, so probably steer clear.

    Jaysus willy-shaking christ! That is crazy prices.

    I'd be fine with a Micromaster, but I'd like him in big lad size just like universe countdown and the lads.

    Coincidentally someone was asking about the same site on one of the FB Funko pages, they're not UK registered according to one member and I had a quick look at one of their info pages and it was littered with bad spelling errors. Avoid like the plague...not the current one the older ones....actually this one too.

    The ideal for me would be a blue redeco of Cyberverse deluxe OP with that trailer that appeared for a split second a year or two ago. It’s more frustrating than others because it’s a pretty straightforward way to get more use out of an OP mould but nope, all we ever see is Nemesis Primes all the way down.

    Good morning! I've just uploaded my review of perhaps the worst ever Transformer - Titans Return Triggerhappy!



    If you've watched any of my reviews, I hope you've enjoyed them. This may be the last one for a week or two. I've used up my 'bank' of reviews, so I want to get a couple in the can before I upload the next one.
