    It probably is, but we're posting in a thread populated by man-children with one foot firmly planted in the 80s!

    If he appears now it'll be in a discount store because Amazon/Hasbro are thicker than elephant dung, so it was time to open seriously expensive eBay Skywarp.

    Scorponok up [general stock] at Kapow again. At the worst time, with two HT War Machine figures I am keen on. After spending lots on Macross items.

    Eh. Will get around to all of them.

    My partner has started her interesting transformers journey, and we hit it off by our first transformation day. Simple concept---grab all the boxed figures I have and transform them. Very good to see such an interest and also see the whole transformers and transformation process through the eyes of somebody completely outside the action figure market. Interestingly, she finds it much easier to transform them from vehicle to robot as the robot figure is more identifiable and makes it easier to figure out what folds where to create a humanoid.

    Figure-wise...that Earthrise Arcee? No thanks. Not for me. Not that character, not that design. But Allicon suuuure looks great!

    Looks like I was on the money about Kapow's Select stock but Hasbro weren't!

    EDIT:
    VALAR MUGULIS!

    (All Mugs must DIE, or gradually fade away - the prints still lasted far longer than any official Merch printed Mug I've ever owned! :lolol )

    I am extrapolating from the chap who has stated KINGDOM was the name of the next chapter most likely being right given the poster clue, hence his BW/G1 time travel crossover could also be on the money, and folding in the Studios Series '86 listing leaks which are shaping up to be a TFTM homage sub-line. It may not be 100% but if it is on the money it's a spoiler.

    A while ago I posted pics of the Optimus Prime and Megatron that a member of the Fire Pro Wrestling World community who goes by the username Optimus Sime had made from scratch using the custom part editor.

    He's stepped things up a notch.

    In addition to adding edit parts for Soundwave, he's created an animation that has Laserbeak emerge from his chest to attack an opponent!

    I see, thanks for explaining. I wasn't sure if it was a reference to an obscure bit of TF lore or something I'm not familiar with :D

    No, it's the semi-coherent ramblings of a madman who has been dipping into the Spec threads too much, we'll have to wait until Virtual SDCC to know what's what fo' sho'!

    £8 delivered for anything you see in a photo, all brand new, never opened except for Legends White Rabbit who has only had the BAF piece removed. Will do a deal if you want a few things!

    Honestly, I'd probably end up getting the ss jazz done up in g1 paint. That's the only one that truly works imo.

    My only reaction is... What the smeg? Lol. If only they had wrestling earlier, the war could have been avoided. Just sort it all out in the ring!

    I guess they don't make mugs like they used too - I'm still using my Galvatron mug from my childhood and it's less faded than that!

    Royal Fail seems to have cocked up again :mad:  paid extra to get my Selects Exhaust, got an email from RM saying expected delivery today, so my girlfriends stayed in all day whilst I was at work.

    Got an email/update on the app saying it was delivered around 12:30 but when I got home she said nothing has turned up, when I check the tracking on the app it says delivered, but when I click on the actual tracking number it says attempted delivery - no answer.

    So now I don't know what's going on, I don't have the red slip to go and collect it, I'm off on Monday but it says redelivery earliest is Tuesday. But my next day off isn't until Friday. So potentially have to wait a week for something I paid tracked 24 for.

    There's a small chance it's a cock up and could turn up on Monday (it does state 1-2 days) but I'll have to waste my day off waiting around for something that might not even turn up.

    Anyone got any experience with anything similar?

    They sure don't make 'em like they used to!
    This KO has done better than my Dredd Dark Judges mug, which never even saw the insides of the dishwasher but began to fade off from my awful habit of...well, putting normal hot drinks in it!
    Do you dishwasher your vintage mug? If so that's a stunning testament to their durability!
