I... I just need to share my story.

We've just moved. In between building a hundred other bits of furniture, I took my breaks building the bookshelves. I loved them.



Then once the kids were asleep, I'd sit in this beautiful room and slowly unpack my other babies:



I mean, if there's anyone I don't need to explain the therapeutic value of this, it's you lot. After years of finding little nooks hidden behind pushchairs and boxes of nappies as wipes, i had as room to keep my stuff in.

This afternoon I heard a crack. I ran upstairs to find Unicron on the floor. He'd taken have the Headmasters shelf with him.



I didn't even take a picture of the Headmasters shelf.

I'm so happy on our new home, and putting up toy displays is a labour of love. But right now...

I just want to cry. You lot, you get it, right?

 

@robotmel I’ll have a look tomorrow to see if I can find Hotlink, he is just chilling in my shed so may as well go since he doesn’t get any display time.

who was it who was after the shuttle micromasters from Earthrise? Have a spare set I can shift



I hate orange paint, going to strip back and try again using my airbrush rather than handpainting it, seems to work for yellows so should be same principle

 

Rollercoaster of a post there. Was thinking they look nice. Wonder where they are from as I've got an empty wall and then suddenly horror and maybe not...

 

I feel for you bro. Crying is the right emotion!

 

Is that it now for the Galactic Odyssey sets, I only count 5 and for some reason am convinced there are 6? 

@LorDZeeD Commiserations, I hope that nothing is too damaged. Amazing looking collection.

 

Shit, really sorry to read and hear all this! Was anything damaged too badly?

 

Though it is possible that, if the sales warrant it and they prove popular enough, these 5 planet sets could be effectively just the "Wave 1" of GOC.
We may not have seen the last of these buggers!

Having said that, how utterly 2020 Hasbro would it be if they sprung a "Secret Sixth" on us, eh?
Flashbacks to the throne of the Primes being the only way to complete the Primes/Prime masters!

 

That really sucks, I'm so sorry. I have to commend you on your good taste in Lost Light collecting, we have very similar collections. Which First Aid is that?

 

@LorDZeeD that must be rough, mate. I can’t imagine having something go so wrong as that. Hope there’s a way to fix it.

...
That recent GOC reveal looks to be the best of the whole lot. Micromaster retools? Check. Baseformer? Check. Another Baseformer? Check! The missile from Doubledealer? Awk gowonnnnn!

I’d probably get it, if it weren’t for the fact that
A,
Smyths have all the Ironworks I could possibly need for £13 each,
And B,
This fucker is £70.

I don’t have much cash, so if I’m getting a big ‘un, it better be a big big ‘un.

 

I think I know what I’ve done, I’ve counted that Shattered Glass set thinking it’s the same sub-line.... 

 

If it includes it, it would be exactly on point for Monkey's Paw Hasbro for it to turn out to belong Rocket Base/Countdown-fied Doubledealer made to also go with this Sky Lynx accessory set, innit?

Easy done seeing as GOC is an exclusive Sub-Subline to Selects.

 

Put in an order for that awesome new amazon pack from the USA site.

I should know but...do you get charged now or when it ships?  

 

Noice!

Ah, dude. Conbrolences!

 

O-kay...



Well, the box does have a few creases (Pic shows the box in the best light) but nowhere near as bad as others have reported, thankfully the toys are fine.

For anyone not going for the AA boys...

siege prowl, all parts, no box for sale £15 delivered in the UK
siege ironhide, all parts, no box for sale £20 delivered in the UK
Pp only, Buyer pays fees if using goods & services

@LorDZeeD: eek! Sorry to see that sight! You are in the right place for condolence, feel your pain there. Hope those annuals and tfs are unscathed!?

 

I feel so bad for you... I live with the fear that one day a bookshelf will finally give up and breakdown.
Hope nothing was badly damaged.

 

Usually you only get charged when it's in-stock and ready to ship but Amazon has been known to "accidentally" charge automatically on occasion keep an eye on your order and the attached account/card IMO!

 

Okay, ladies and gents, I have a pristine, unopened Autobot Alliance set for sale. I hedged my bets with both Amazon UK and US, but by the time my US set shipped it was too late to cancel the UK one.

So now I'm passing the savings on to YOOOOOOUUUUUU!!!*

£35, and I won't even charge you postage.

@Blitzwing75 @Brum Bot ? I saw you two were sniffing around earlier. Anyone else?

*savings not guaranteed.

EDIT: Taken. Hope anyone who is still looking finds it for a reasonable price elsewhere  

 

Dor anyone interested Game has the PS5 bundled with the normal version of Miles Morales and you can also choose to have that with a controller. Annoyed it's not the ultimate edition as now I have to stress over getting the console.

 

0 for 2 today, both on deliveries I was really looking forward to.

First my Batman Family statue arrived after four attempts to order one (kept getting refunds from Chinese sellers) no box which is fine because it's a KO, but they wrapped the statue with the base together so the Cape and the base are scraped to fuckery.



Next my MOTWWEU wave 4 finally turned up six weeks after ordering. Sealed case of 4, but two bloody Jake the Snake Roberts and no Mister T!?! Gutted.



Annoying, but if this is the only thing I really have to worry about (other than the usual background existential dread), I'm a pretty lucky fella.

 

That's awful. All that work for a stupid structural failure like that. I can see why you're annoyed.

Once you get the supplier to replace it, I reckon you'll need a few comic boxes to keep the weight down, but on the plus side you'll have more room for toys. This too will pass.
