POWER-X-TREME

 

Saw it a bit ago, looked around for it, couldn't find it sadly 
On the bright side, today is the start of the Polish edition of Lego Masters!

 

Let’s hope it’s more Ratbat and less Weirdwolf

 

Kinda my first thought tbh, I buy a lot of figures as you know and the amount of stuff that's warped in/by the tray... Plus some of it looks terrible as it is   
...

The new AC/DC Power Up album is the shizzle.

 

And, BOY, have they done a great job keeping it quiet! ZERO cast leaks AFAIK? Do we know if it's animated or full live action?

After the ROTF Bludgeon tracks plasticizer melting and the blast effect effect on paint and non-porous plastic I am afeared of rubber/rubberized components. Breathed a sigh of relief on a CW Superion jet noses check recently as apparently there have been some instances on them too! Did tot manufacturers learn nothing from the Unfaceables?!
Probably, yeah, that in-built obsolescence works great for more sales!

@Napalm On a similar track at the mo myself vis a vis the Hobby. Been having a crack at stowing the advancing infestation of most recent Cybertronians (The Season 1-ish Ark crew versus suddenly teleported into their midst CW Devy are now only Kingdom Inferno away from entirely swapped out!) and it has revealed a worryingly functional alcoholic alike stashes of robots here and there, better check the cistern in case there's a robot stowed in there in an airtight ziploc bag!
I really need to get my sales head on but I not only can't be arsed but there ain't gonna be a Car Boot soon, AND a massive tide of unemployment probably isn't going to do wonders for people retail therapy-ing themselves with retro toys!

Scratch another one off the list of 'definitive takes on the '84 cast'. That just leaves Huffer and Gears for the Autobot team. And Hauler... I guess?



Oh, and 'bee is NEVER going to be using the Cliffjumper Bazooka, so guess who got his Bayverse cannons back?



May trim the pegs down a bit so they sit close to Ironhide's arms, but I like how they look already  

 

Wow, Nemesis Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast.

Were they imported?

 

Oof! A bit on the pricey side but this China based seller has both volumes up on Ebay!

Choose your class. Support, Assault, or Scout?



Really like how these look together.

 

I might have been able to deal with the price but that postage makes my head spin. Maybe we can petition for IDW to make a reissue?

 

Heh, cool. On the one hand kinda surprised he's a 'con, on the other it's Movie stuff and Con Cops seemed to be a thing in that 'verse

Wow, that's extreme!

Enjoy LEGO Masters! Hopefully we'll get another series over here next year... I want them to do an international LEGO Masters sometime with like winning teams from the different countries competing with each other

Got Sunstreaker recently (amazingly fulfilled by Amazon!). The more I look at him, the better he looks. I had the G1 version as a kid and he was one of my favourites (even if looking back on it he was a bit of a brick) so getting this version was a given.

I’m also glad that the lambros can be back together again.

If anything is missing, it’s that the latest versions of characters are missing weapons, come on those vents are not a weapon, and look so much better on his back (where I think they should be). Anybody have any leads on where I could purchase some generic weapons that could be used by these two?

Now to wait on one of the aftermarket companies to come up with a spoiler for him and he’ll be practically perfect (let’s not mention the discrepancy in the shades of yellow, shall we?)

 

Slightly better than the one from China, but I still wish there'd be a reissue to dwindle the value od the books...

 

Runamuck and Sunstreaker now available for home delivery at Smyths.

 

If it's anything like NI, home delivery can depend on what region you're in... Just FYI! Home delivery seems to run off local store stock here in NI at least.

 

OH You have a Traumatizer... I've never even seen one. You know what a nice thing for someone to make as an accessory for Centurions... a Clear visor Orbital Interceptor helmet. Or failing that slip in clear visor inserts for the Centurions helmets that would be really nice to have too.

I did a couple of years ago manage to chase up a Skybolt, & I guess I've had Hornet for about 4, I got a spare wild weasil about 5 year ago too but I still don't have Detonator and Depthcharger. (or a Traumatizer) I do have that wind up back pack and some of the smaller figures (which surprised me in being better than I expected them to be) I've been lucky enough to get a few Duplicate 8" figures too so I have them to display most of the weapon system (as here) Hornet takes up quite a bit of space however - I was so chuffed to find out all these years after they were released. Great toyline though - I'm pleased to have as much as I do, I just wish I hade more Bone Age i've only got a couple of the dinosaurs and a lot of the cavemen figures... I'd be so pleased to have more of that though too, I'm doing decently on Visionaries and MASK though I have very nearly complete collections of those (just need the Dagger Assault & a couple of obscure repaint figure 2 packs for the mask items) I would like a few more bits of Vortech though - I only have about 4 or 5 of those (that I have any at all is kinda a minor miracle though considering how rare they are). I like 1980's toylines they "did things" and so were fun.

---------

Say random question does anyone know if the 3D printed back filler for Studio Series ROTF Megatron only had one colour or if it was made to match both version of the character ? I just got one and notice the colour doesn't match and I wondered if they were all like that - it's still something i'd really remcomend though, even with the ill matching shade of grey it's a huge improvement.

PLEASE someone tell me I am not the only one who can't get Smyths website to work - it worked fine when I ordered Gigawatt a few weeks ago, and i've place orders a couple of months prior to that and now - NOTHING works, doesn't matter how I change my computer browser security, or address, what card I am using ; what browser I am using if I buy logged in or as a guest - even got someone else to try - NOTHING WORKS all I get is either the transaction won't finish and I get the error Message "Your item quantity has been updated" or "There is a problem with your card" - I'm only buying 3 items 1 of each and all of them are instock for home delivery so if they were the problem another error message would be more appropriate.

Anyone know of a work around (no i'm not so desperate to buy Smyths vouchers just yet) I really don't want to have this problem still if they actually ever get the WFCT tems in for home delivery in case they have a sudden attack of competance or something rare like that.
