    ha ha, was away to ask that too.

    not chasing toys and to be honest lost all interest in buying just now. too many releases and not spread far enough apart.



    Love it

    You, ah, you haven't fully parsed my complaint there, it's not the pricing itself but what you get, or rather don't get, for it.
    The only unique thing is the recolouring, there's no other difference from prior released versions unlike the 10-pack that had at least a couple of alt. head & chests here & there, in this set the other two members of the Race Track Patrol are identical to the other two bar colouration, and even though if you squint at the Hot Rod recolours the colour schemes on them might just about pass for Greaser & Hubs there's the fact they too have the same heads as the mainline Hot Rods. There's no enticingly unique or compelling reason for me to fork out money again for the same unaltered (bar colours) figure designs overall.

    The head sculpts on some of the SS animated movie figures just don’t seem right...

    I'm just about on board with Kup as he channels enough of the IDW Spotlight look to distract from them getting it wrong and I like that, though I doubt it's intentional. All Kup figures have struggled replicating his face which is weird as the one that matters - TFTM Kup - doesn't look 'old', it just looks thoroughly pissed off and that's not hard to do. It's all in the shape of the eyes.

    Blurr definitely looks off. With that face and those forearms it undoes the fluidity of the character itself. So he's a maybe because of that.

    To those expressing thanks, thanks!

    Genuinely couldn't collect what I do without you fine folks.

    Today's arrivals/purchases... That cage will be useful somehow and the t-rex is genuinely great! DC in every sense there are amazing, and cheap Hot Wheels and Lego are the way to go.

    @bcm77 @Ottertron

    Saw these earlier but didn't have time to check anything tbh with the reveals happening!

    Likelihood of Kapow getting Runabout ?

    They're being unusually quiet today :( 

    Also - is ER Bluestreak likely to get a more general UK release ? Smyths ?

    When you enter a website looking for Bluestreak or Thrust.

    Also, what is left of season 1 to 1986 movie left to be done/reveal ?

    - Gears
    - Blaster & his guys
    - Rumble/Buzzsaw
    - Skids
    - Alpha Trion
    - Hey, let's say Devcon.

    Wouldnt mind getting a new Powerglide and a new Cosmos but I'm fine with TR Perceptor, Brawn, previous Insecticons (wouldn't mind a new Schrapnel tought), and the Constructicons (perfect, so perfect I can live with Mixmaster beaver tail).

    I will assume a Gear is coming, can see Blaster as well. Scourge mold is good for an AT and maybe a Devcon.
    Which leaves Skids a the big question mark. Because of course.

    Season 3 is just missing the Throttlebots right ? (assuming there's a Gears coming, there will be a Swerve).

    On Kapow, TTM Soundblaster's description says : "comes with minion partner".
    Is it true ? Could it be Buzzsaw ?

    Yeah, Blurr just looks odd. In fact, I'm not sure about any of the SS86 deluxes, at least not while I already have decent versions of these characters and there are upcoming figures that look amazing to me. Gotta prioritise.

    Hot Rod was obviously falcon-punched through my paypal account, but I've now decided that scourge looks gorgeous so I've put in an order via kapow. Edit: Scourgeous?

    Still undecided on Grimlock. It's a conundrum. He looks fantastic, no bones about it, but I'm actually quite happy with my potp dinos for my classics collection. I'm also not prepared to lay down 250 for a full set of dinos. Of course, I could buy just Grimlock, but then I have the MP, so there would be little point.

    First world problems. I may get Slag, as he was always my favourite as a kid, plus he comes with Daniel.
