    Thus far apparently SS-05 Optimus, MPM Ironhide, a Botbots pack, and Cyberverse Battle Call Bumblebee. As yer man, all are dead, in the Amazon thread points out, Prime Day is usually July so Dead OP is probably technically "it".

    Netflix stuff has been hitting smyths pretty reliably and BB is up on their site already for release sometime in Oct (I think).

    I always listen to this guy's videos for the industry insights but I rarely take his point! In this instance, I collect so many lines that do nothing but go on clearance, often after unnecessary restocks! Overpriced Lego, the insane levels of McFarlane stock, Spin Master DC, Funko Pops... The theory just doesn't hold up otherwise discount stores wouldn't have a building-length toy aisle lol

    What if... what if you were to jump "unexpectedly" in the path of the postvan, who would "instinctively" do an emergency stop?

    Goodness, that sure would be bad for any mouth-breathing scrote following closely behind!

    (In all seriousness, if the robber is stealing to feed their family... it might be annoying as hell but you can follow the logic. If he's just flipping them on ebay though, back to Plan A and he'll be retiring from a life of crime to spend more time with his remaining teeth)

    Interesting, I hadn’t noticed that! Good show of demand, hopefully means the continue with the line. I already had a sergeant ordered through [cant remember where] though, and it seemed no cheaper in the gw site, which is a shame.

    Dark Side Of The Ring is getting a 3rd series and the first couple of episodes will cover,

    Jake "The Snake" Roberts
    "Flyin'" Brian Pillman

    Really enjoyed the previous series so looking forward to seeing who else is getting an episode.

    @barry,
    Sorry about the thievery, a bear trap might not be a bad idea!

    Had been putting off touching this guy for a while but transformation was definitely not as bad as I had feared. What a stunning piece

    I bought a thing on ebay but the Global Shipping Programme has determined, in its infinite wisdom, that it cannot send it to me so I have been refunded. It was a silly self-indulgent purchase even by my usual ebay standards, so I feel it's only fair to buy something else cool with the returned cash.

    Last year I asked forumite Ultraman Zoffy about height-adding kits for Siege Shockwave and Soundwave. I didn't take him up on his offer at the time. I might drop him a line again soon; I feel these two should be able to look T30 Springer in the eye.

    Before I do, is any other UK person after his kits? I found his Shapeways page (Ultraman Zoffy's R&D Lab by ultramanzoffy - Shapeways Shops) and he also does a 1cm height increase for the Seekers. Tempted by that as well!

    Any interest, and there's no obligation at this stage, drop me a PM. I can then ask him about a bulk price including tracked postage, for redistribution by me in this country.

    Surely we’ll get the info we need regarding ER Thrust and Runabout?

    An official unveiling of ER Barricade.

    But they’ll only be available for 33 minutes for customers on the International Space Station.

    Evil Lyn's new 'me time' toy was even more of a threat to Skeletor than he anticipated.

    IMG_20201013_191743235.jpg

    Skeletor was furious. He'd forgotten both his binoculars AND his eyes.

    Before I start hunting around on eBay, does anyone have a CW Prowl they’re willing to part with for a good price?
