Checked the tracking info for my Magic Square Seekers this morning and they've just left China. Fair to say things have slowed down a bit with Show Z Store lately 'cos I ordered 'em a couple of weeks ago but with things being the way they are not a lot I can do but wait.

Magic Square are apparently wanting over £100 for their Motormaster so that's their Stunticons off my radar

Good morning All.

Arrived this morning. Well done SAF and C&C:


Something to look forward to during my lunch break today.

 

Anyone looking to sell a Fans Hobby Gunfighter II..?

 

Those Jada cars are hardly nano sized if they're over an inch and a half long. :s

 

*pffft* don't bring semantics (or logic) onto the internet.

 

Finally got back from my Poland holiday yesterday! While I was there issues 36 and 37 of the definitive collection arrived at my house and I picked up the next two straight from my grandparents.
Today I’ll do a haul picture.

 

Way worse. You've to line up a rotating tab on a ratchet first (attached via mushroom peg, liable to fly off), then line the knee joint section in it's internal housing in a particular way so that if you're REALLY lucky the two large hinges that have been flying about for ten minutes will tab into his lower chest. And those gaps are tighter than a fucking submarine!

Watch tman978's video review. He drops the figure and everything, and it's not clumsiness, the construction really is horrendous.

 

Doubledealer is such a good figure, so good that he is both in and out of stock! Those in the business refer to this phenomenon as “schrödinger’s stock.”

 

That's because you're in NI, and they apparently think we're not in the UK when it suits them. From what I gather our home delivery is from the Republic, which they don't tell you.
...

@Loosecannon I did that, but on mine the black piece was fond of moving alongside the rest of the internal joint! So then I had to slowly manoeuvre the housing so as not to unlock the black piece again or accidentally twat the other leg that went in flukey first time!

Whatever way you look at it, it's a fucking right faff.

 

I forgot to say, this also highlights my current dilemma... do I use KO smaller Devy or MT Giant with the other combiner wars figures for the revamped display?
And that just reminds me how pissed I am to have all the combiners in a sort of scale except Devastator and Predaking… I mean, what were Hasbro thinking? Surely there were better candidates for Titan class, especially when we see how limited the individual robot modes were for these.

 

Bumblebee: "This is where 'Con activity was reported... but I see nothing. I don't like this. It's too quiet..."

Spike: "Yeah, too quiet...."

Bumblebee: "Wait... Spike... you hear that?"

* clap, clap, clap, clap, clap *

Spike: "oh no..."

 

Limbo/Inside are both great wee plays. I've heard mixed reviews from friends about the sinking city, but it does look interesting.

After what happened with Weijang.... yeah I think all the KO guys are going to flee from Disney.

I reckon the Takara Falcon could be remoulded into the Ebon Hawk easy enough - and you could squeeze two characters out of it. Revan and.... hmmm I wonder. Hanhar the Wookie would make for an easy reused of Chewie. But we'd really want HK-47.

That is one boombastic badonkadonk.

Yeah, I've been burned too many times with Amazon UK and transformer pre-orders.

I do recall hearing that all the crossover figures weren't done by the usual transformers designers. It even shows in the choice of joints used for some of the figures. But you are bang on about Saesee Timmy being a good example of how the bot move improved. Darth Maul doesn't have the worst bot mode either.

Who knows, maybe with the sequel trilogy wrapped and all the new TV shows, maybe Disney and Hasbro will take a stab at a new line. Stranger things have happened.

Good luck finishing it dude. I fucking still have nightmares about mine 13 years later. 6 weeks from hand-in my supervisor took off ill, and my new one demanded a full re-write. Brown pants time....

I'm very much looking forward to that series. Plus bonus Malcolm McDowell

 

Autobots:Inferior. Soundwave: Posterior

 

Hear, hear. I've got a tiny little silky black three-legged runt and I'd take more black cats from rescue homes in a flash if I had more space And George wasn't a total little thug. When there were two cats in the house (pre-splitting up with my ex) George was very much like Cato to Dolly's Inspector Clouseau. She'd often wait on a chair or other such raised surface near the cat flap in the kitchen and pounce when Dolly came through. Now she has to settle for just fighting any other cat that dares come near the garden.

Boredom is getting bad. I searched for a better ISP last night via Moneysupermarket last night, and then decided which coffee table I'd get from Argos using the 'new customer' voucher. Send help!

Give us a kiss?

 

The biggest shame of the Star Wars Transformers isn't just that they were designed by the Star Wars team, but that just after the line wrapped up the awesome Eric Siebenalar moved from the Transformers team to Star Wars. What could have been!

Still they were never quite as bad as the Galoob teams Titanium range.

I hope if they did Star Wars Transformers again they would be sentient Transformer characters we know and love after the Ark and Nemesis crash through into the Star Wars universe and they scan those vehicles.
Bumblebee as Landspeeder. Jazz and Prowl as X-Wings. Megatron as Star Destroyer. Prime as Falcon. Seekers as TIEs. Coneheads as advanced TIEs and Bombers, all backed up with a comic series. Ending up with a Unicron Death Star of course.

 

Annnnd its unavailable again! I ordered, but dont feel massively confident about it. What exactly happened with Siege Skywarp on amazon? Did they take a load of orders they werent able to fulful? Is this gonna be a repeat of that?

 

Took the orders at seriously cheap prices then kept sending emails every month or two saying they were still trying to source it. Same with the Bot pack. And yet somehow the Amazon exclusive Bot pack wound up at Bargainmax and Kapow...

Marvel 80th Sticker Collection - Bundle of 50 sticker packets + FREE sticker album
It's as well I've nobody to swap stickers with lol

 

Yeeeeeeah, *Looks at still-pending Firestormers Amazon UK Pre-Order* that's a pass from me.

FYI Greasepit back In-Stock at In Demand. Snagged myself one to Autobot-ise, and a discount Spinister for a Rotorstorm fist-swap and likely a custom attempt at either a "Blackout" or a "Tomahawk", as I doubt dark purple fisted Spinister will be that much of a sales draw!  

 

I have a one year old who currently refuses to sleep earlier that 11pm if you want to babysit to fight the boredom? I'll pay you in all the kisses you want.

Ooooh the Titanium bots. Such a nice idea, but such underwhelming execution. To be fair, the Magnus and Rodimus weren't awful, just not quite there. The scourge wasn't all bad either. But fuck that Soundwave. And Megatron.

Looking forward to see which was the copter bot goes dude.
