Once it ships far as I know.

 

They can't remember either. They are inconsistent about it. Some they take straight away, others not and there is no pattern to it.

If it helps they don't seem to have charged me for putting in for Ratchet just now.

 

Oh man, thank you so much for the heads up !
Pre-order placed.

 

It won't be: Thrust is ER 26 and TF Tuesdays are all Selects

 

All transformers purchases go on hold as Lego announced a £370 Lego Diagon Ally UCS.
And that goes out the window when the Amazon stuff gets sorted.

Thats another order placed.
I can lie and tell myself it’s coming out of the Xmas budget. Hopefully it will turn up in better condition than my Coneheads.
In other news Cobra Kai was just the slice of cheese TV I needed last night.

 

Jeff.

Who wants to pay Hasbro money anyway with their constant dicking about of customers. We just want to give them money, why is it so hard.

ANYWAY. Although the ER Ratchet actually makes that mould look far better, I think I'll stick with the Siege one for now. Fits better with my cybertronian / chunky lad aesthetic.

I'm kicking myself for not grabbing a Siege Jetfire when they were silly prices on BargainMax. Knowing how cheap he went, I don't really want to pay the RRP!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I've preordered the Netflix Spoiler Nemesis Prime because why the heck not, and I've sold my PotP one.

Speaking of which, I still have the following Prime lads for sale:

Prime Voyager Optimus (v2), complete: £14 posted
Prime Voyager Megatron, two cannons, no gauntlet blade thing: £18 posted
Prime Cliffjumper, TWO hammers, £20 posted

 

Where did you preorder Nemesis from mate? I just finally put in an order for Ratchet and Lifeline.

 

Totally forgot today was a holiday for the Uni. Up and at 'em, sending out the staff handbook bright and breezy for the start of the new semester. Then blush.

C'est la fucking vie.

It's on Smyths site.

 

With the amount of sites getting a Jetfire restock he should eventually come around again.

Search 'War for Cybertron' at Smyths, their search system is as bad as their stock checking!

 

Did a similar thing yesterday, the work group chat went a bit quiet last week so I thought I'd show some willing, and drop in a "Good morning" for a colleague to almost immediately remind me it was the Bank Holiday.
Which then slipped my mind a second time despite the incident until @motorthing's post reminded me, after I'd already been to check for Post like an idiot! *Sigh*

Happy that the GOC's become available to those that want it but I'm still resisting for now due to the deco disappointment, redundant 2nd figure, and an increasing lack of trust at these goings-on, feels like us global fans being increasingly gamed with a deliberately engineered FOMO Factor.

I'm gonna run the risk of missing it in case of sudden better deco re-use, this guy is still plenty fine for now!

Heck , if some 3P wants to make a slightly less janky Cybertronian sled/M.A.R.B for this fella, I'd bite on that instead!

 

Amazon have discounted some Lego...

 

Seeing that Lego seems to be quite a popular thing on here too - if people weren't aware, the excellent brickset.com site has an Amazon deals tracker - the latest deals usually exist somewhere on the homepage but you can go straight there with Buy LEGO in UK | At Amazon - it's also got a comparator to check prices across Europe too!

 

G1 Classics, Sandstorm and Octane

 

Are those 3P accessories on the Ratchet?
That is a really nice figure but I missed out on Siege so I’ll happily grab the Earthrise version.
I Can always cancel the order later if a cheaper alternative turns up.

 

Honestly, this fella looks nicer than his new Earthrise version. When the ER version fails to be as convincing as the other ER altmode, you might as well go with the Siege one that comes with all the good accessories.

So, do we have a reveal scheduled today?

 

Absolutely. It's to easy to moan at the inept way Hasbro seem to run their business (I've had several rants to that effect myself), but I'm starting to suspect this is all part of the plan and we as collectors are merely puppets dancing on Hasbro's strings.
He says, having just placed a preorder for Ratchet for FOMO! Thanks @payres for the heads up btw, much appreciated

I do suspect we may see another release of the good Doctor. There is something off with the deco on Ratchet for me, and it feels like they'll get us all to buy this two pack, then drop a better painted version later in the line.
I know Siege Nemesis Prime was a Takara figure, but it does seem a bit off for the people who forked out for this "exclusive" only to see it receive a wider release in a slightly different deco plus a trailer a short while later.

In other news, I'm anxiously awaiting an invoice from Amazon UK for my Skorponok. Hope this isn't another Firestormers scenario...

 

Wasn't it Pyro who was trying to come up with a motto?

Excited to see what Toyhax come up with for Rotorstorm now, I did mention the red leg stripes being important and that the logo used in the original's chest has the fused crest and nose, lots of reference pictures including the preproduction ones shown on the box photos (most noticable on the shoulder stickers looking more like lightning bolts rather than the trapezoids Hasbro eventually went with

 

And that line was Rotorstorm's response. Alas I have no Pyro, so Rotorstorm's directing it to the other two that I do have.
