    Alicon in stock at my local Smyths, I am very, very excited.
    Unless this is a pair of feet for one character, maybe the blue one is Glyph?

    EDIT: oops, wrong!

    Into series 3 of Rebels,

    Tom Baker talking about the Force in his voice is utter perfection :) 

    Had a trip to B&M Bargains this morning in search of some more plastic storage boxes to store figures I haven't room to display and I got 4 for a tenner. They're not huge but will do nicely for Legends figures and will go into the space under my bed with the other boxes containing my Dr Who figure collection, larger Transformers I haven't yet sold and some random comics & DVD's and other stuff.

    Will be leaving some space for the 2 cardboard boxes the ferrets sometimes sleep in :D

    Tracks!


    The legends rabbit hole is crazy when you compare the prices to the equivalent at CHUG. £45 for Megatron, £25 for Jazz etc... Then I look at them and all is forgiven, lets face it buying toys can never really justified in a 'rational' way.

    @bcm77 or any other B&M shoppers! have you seen the Cyberverse scout line there at all? I'm looking for a Windblade and no one seems to sell them

    Finally after about a year looking I've managed to bag a MMC Furor and get these guys looking great together on the shelf.

    Big thanks to @Quintessential Prime for the help, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions. :p

    Dropped a spare weapon in a purple dye last week and just happened to come out the same colour as Rotorstorm's biceps and thighs! Win! ;)

    I didn't go down the toy aisle this morning but can have a look next time I'm in there.

    It was from an OS KO Optimus Prime Energon Igniters as seen in the Sir Toys link below! Started off light grey of course.
    Optimus Prime Energon Igniters Nitro Series OS - TF - SirToys.com

    I specifically picked him up as he came with a weapon which looks surprisingly like G1 Chromedome's blaster! ;)

    I'll keep an eye out.

    Forestside, where I got...

    And here's the WWE section

    Just realised they've either taken the Pops away altogether or I somehow walked past them... Hmmm.

    CRIKEY! You left out the word 'exactly' between surprisingly and like there - that bloody is a Chromedome gun!!!
    Which is even more amusing seeing that TR Chromey's blasters looked nothing like it! :lol

    Nice haul mate, I’m on the lookout for a Judge when they show up England side.

    I wish they’d take away the Pops in my local Smyths, no one ever buys them I’m sure. They’ve got absolutely loads of the massive the child ones from The Mandalorian.

    @Convoy I was in B&M the other day, all they had were G1 Titan Changers and OSKO of the FOC Combaticons. Funnily enough, Onslaught was coloured like Cross hairs.

    HA! Because I've run out of Kotobukiya MSG bullet belts, I thought I'd try a different tack for the bandito spider that'll hide someone inside and run with 3P LEGO bits from Firestar toys figuring it'd be quicker and cheaper sourcing locally, still spent £15! At least there's not the wait for Japan Post though.

    And in my TF Wiki referencing found out that there was a third potential Double Pretender in the form of a repainted Groundbreaker, and seeing as I done him from an Alpha Trion/Landmine, welp, I'll need another for that 'cause my in-hand Landmine is lined up for TR Rodders (possible just an 'Only Human' Synthoid bod outfit deco reference, possibly with a deco only nod to his MTMTE/LL Avatar) threw in an Octopunch & another Cloudburst to pad out the order (and follow a Customizer's gut instinct) and went straight to the source this time for a Bubble-N-Squeak purchase.
    It's always the wee incremental buys that get me, dammit!
