    Would have been smart if they’d done another 10 pack but with the remaining members and maybe the rest could be repainted.

    Only this time it’s not a ballache for those of us to get them that apparently live in international waters according to Hasbro as the only land on the globe is North America in their eyes.

    We're living in a rough old times and with rough old numpties who will always go against the grain which is putting everyone at risk in one way or another - my job role, for as long as it lasts, keeps me a more than arms length from mostly travellers and plumbers! They're a mixed bunch! ;) 

    In the express/local areas of Bedford the numpties are plentiful, usually powered by drink. drugs or hardship, so having a go at someone buying a four pack might not be a bright idea! o_O 

    If only everyone had gotten used to the masks at the beginning things would be a little different now. :confused:

    Yes, there was a mirror check done during those 5 minutes, and fortunately no self-inflicted Emergency Lockdown haircut was necessary! That, too, was a relief.

    Starscream was meant to be looking into the camera viewscreen due to vanity etc etc but I didnt realise that I'd need said camera to take a picture of it. So he's just striking a pose.

    These two are an item in my headcanon, ever since their IDW friendship. The last issue with Sideswipe was one of my favourite issues of that series in a very bittersweet way.

    I stopped using Wish a little while ago and started to use Aliexpress instead. Far better choice of items at a good chunk less than Wish. However, the wife still won't listen and still buys random shite from them.

    Decided that instead of starting some Modness too late in the day, instead I'd do a bit of appreciating wot I got.

    The wonders it has wrought! Count me among those who thought, "They'll never top T30", and yet here we are!
    Until the buggers release this guy with a clean paintjob, T30-style sword, and better gun/s in SS'86! :p 
    Yeah, T30's still taller but this guy is still an incredible forward leap for me!

    No problem, I also went with the free shipping option for both my orders. As of Friday my Seekers had only just left China so a bit of a wait yet.

    Masks = Not going to lie, having to keep wiping my specs every few seconds due to them steaming up got very old, very quickly. But if it's that or the possible alternative, I can deal with it.

    During my shopping trips in the past few days most people appear to be going along with it but I can't say that I've noticed too many people without although that might be due to steamed up specs :D

    Demister spray or even washing them with soap will stop glasses steaming up. At least in the shirt term.

    Was hoping to craft him into a shooter but he doesn't have the folding crotch like his Targetmaster relations.
    He needs a repaint buddy - might grab another and try dipping him in dye, planned to call him Windbreaker but I think there's a G2 carbot with that name!

    His limbs and chest peg will dye easy, his clear blue plastic and the paint apps on it not so much!

    Incredible to think that Smyths has more Dragonball stuff than Star Wars. How the mighty have fallen... as a result of horrendous management.

    Even more amazing is how close we are to the release of Wave 3 deluxes. By the time I get Airwave I’ll literally be days away from getting Trailbreaker. I now worry that Smyths won’t get Wave 3 at all, seeing as they’d be getting Wave 2 in at the same time.

    I suspect we both need them yesterday! I've got Con Central to build!

    All mine were paid for within hours of their showing (SAF). I wouldn't rely on Smyths to tell me the time!

    I missed out on the Pertwee TARDIS set but I'd love a UNIT set if you spot one.

    Mine is smokey clear too. Hmm

    Only place I’ve seen it for regular retail is Amazon US but the price is hard to swallow. You can try eBay and see if you can find a deal?
