    So whats going to be the easiest way to get that Centurion/Battle Pack here in the UK? Will any of your regulars get it or will we have to go through Hasbro's US online shop?

    A red megs/ratchet is one hell of a great idea! Set each joint in at a weird angle for extra zombieness.

    Ps @Taziir Hope your cats are starting to forgive you.

    The Selects thread has given me an idea! Maybe when the pandemic ends we should start national rallies to prevent customs tax and handling fees on toys and collectibles! It's especially annoying since we already pay large amounts of money for delivery from countries such as Japan and the US. This ends now (or after the pandemic)!

    I couldn't even find that page before, ordered it from the US. If you really want it that's what I recommend because nobody needs the Skywarp debacle again.

    Glad to see it's not just me that's annoyed by his lack of decent wing-clips. Grrrr.

    One day I'll learn about getting a bit merry Mid-Project...today is not that day!

    In my tipsy defence, I realised that my current superglue is at tube cap integrity failure point (if actually a wee bit past it thanks to some carefully deployed precise knifework after a rather hairy pliers-assisted uncapping) so gluing couldn't hang about too long, and in a bit of flow state bits-sorting his chain gun mountings came together along with the idea to try using some of my claggy clear mixed with my mostly expired-thru-clagging Mr Metal Colour to cap off his G1 colours.

    Just been looking at the magazine scans of scorponok. I have a mighty burning need for that thing. Hopefully it'll be out in smyths later in the year.

    Been looking at the smokescreen and snapdragon preorders, but they seem to be out in different months and id and kapow say they don't stack orders so if they come in at different times, no guarantee the earlier stuff will still be there. Which is putting me off preordering. Hopefully I'll be able to grab those two from somewhere when they go on general sale.

    @Skywarp SCS Possibly my first ninja'd! :drunk

    Another Star Wars arrival. I don't know why, but the outfit Luke wore to Bespin in Empire is possibly my favourite look for him. Maybe it's the utilitarian simplicity, but I prefer outfits like this to the more elaborate Jedi robes and such from the prequels.

    That is some good fucking pig.

    Oh my balls. As if we're getting Scorponok next week. Might buy a new suit for the occasion, weather will have cooled down enough to enjoy fresh garms.

    Urgh! Don't get me started on the Prequels and the frankly idiotic decision to make Obi Wan dressed as a Tatooine native look the Jedi uniform.
    I've always felt he should've embraced the Buddhism reference and put them in maroon and saffron robes, if it had to be robes, or make Luke's ROTJ Jedi Knight costume the actual Jedi uniform in aforementioned colours ('cause Luke's is in black because of the pull of the Dark Side, innit?).

    I agree dude, it'll be fun. Seeing how it works, and I do love a bit of a mad crossover, twas something I appreciated about the toy box mentality of the revolutionaries series.

    I'd be so in for it. All we need is a volcano to crash the bugger into it.

    That was annoying, could of swore he said the head was idw inspired.... Thought I'd imagined that. I'd hoped what we saw was a prototype. But life isn't that peachy is it?

    Good luck on the head cast dude.

    Damn rights. Actually I'd be happy to forego a bit mode for a butt load of gimmicks and accessories!

    Bad craic. But that is just dragonstorm. I had the dragon head break on mine out of the pack, and it was official.

    I once saw a mate piss in a pringles can on a bus to a concert, the spill said piss all over himself. but hearing someone shit in a burger box on a beach is so much funnier.

    Damn. Love the blue bacon.

    Yup - trying to ignore Scorpy as don’t want to lay out £££ on a figure at the mo... but if I see it in the wild, I’ll probably collapse.
