    The finish around the bottom of the clear chest piece is awful. I'd be pissed with that myself

    @Seeaich and anyone else who might know - I'm looking to get some sandpaper to sand down the overwide pegs on the accessory pack weapons, as well as the one on Breakdown's hammerbot and I just wanted to ask if there's any particular type of sandpaper I should use or will just normal sandpaper do the job?
    Thanks

    Not a massive sandpaper expertise BUT IIRC the smoother you want a finish, the Finer a grade you'll want to use, particularly if it's minimal material removal and you don't want to overdo it you're probably after some from Very Fine to Super Fine. Medium & Course will remove more material quicker but increasingly more roughly the coarser you go, action figures I probably wouldn't go below Very Fine but I'd probably start at Super Fine, particularly on a small, transparent working area.

    Anyone have or can do a picture to show how TR/Legends Blurr scales up with Siege/Earthrise deluxes? Not liking the SS one (face/arms) so id go with the old one if he's not too big.

    What @Seeaich said, I ripped off a piece of 220 and wet it, then with thumb and forefinger keeping it either side of the peg, spun my fingers around it. Took long enough but it would be so easy to break because of the housing holding you back! You then wanna do the same again but 'shine' the back of the peg nearest the housing with a new strip (like grabbing both ends of a towel).

    After that I used 240 to smooth it down.

    The only flaw in your plan is maybe the size of SS'86 Rodders and Kup, it's possible he may look a bit pipsqueak next to them, has there been a comparison shot with them and Er Deluxes?
    That reminds me I should've mentioned the bigger the number, the finer the grit on the paper is, Fine starts at about 120 plus but as @Siege Fan says 220+ is probably where to start, and also, yeah, finer takes longer as it removes less material.

    Maybe all the Vehicons had an unadvertised battle damage feature ;)

    There's absolutely no rhyme or reason to Amazon releases now (you should see MOTU Origins with them), but this release is even stranger considering it'll arrive before the American version ships!

    Amazon says the 13th November for me.

    Must be a special arrangement for NI collectors ;-)

    i think he'd kind of fit in

    wow! got an email from amazon myself, but that was just shifting it from 10th Nov to 6th Nov. Looks like this .co.uk think might actually be happeneing?!?!

    was yours one of the earlier £32 orders or a recent £43 ones?

    @Siege Fan - just seen that dispatch date is on Amazon UK. Did you do one on Amazon US?

    Not sure if these will be any good for you? Tried to get fairly close without my camera blurring and also tried not to catch my camera in the reflection?
