    I reckon retailers are as frustrated by all this pre-order malarkey as collectors and just want to get the info out there ASAP. None of the figures are Target Exclusives so everyone should be getting a decent amount of stock.

    As I punted in the Sightings thread in reply, All New, All Different character like Gigawatt, or a rather cheeky Cerebro...s.

    Not a bad first day as an IT Service Bod, despite the Bradford tyre-fire stranding the lad who was supposed to be training me, some of the other IT Lads from Procurement got me logged in and Logging & Flogging. IT building was not on fire when I left, Result!

    Excellent re-naming! :) 

    @Siege Fan,
    That doesn't suprise me, it's got to be a huge ballache whether it's actually getting the stuff or fielding all the questions about it.

    @Siege Fan - any movement with Amazon.com on the Auto Clone Bros?

    My order has moved. Shows between 2nd and 4th December:

    In the ER appreciation thread, some have posted yesterday they have received the figures that day:

    Are yours still scheduled for the end of November?

    I had my shipping email from IDT for my white Runalad over a week ago, but still no sign. I know 2nd class is taking longer at the moment, but should I be worried with not seeing anything after 7 working days?

    Be careful with how you stack those Tetris blocks!

    :lolol Savage!

    That's a lot of screens!
    :jawdropper: 

    Oh man that takes me back. First Sonic games I ever played were the 2 Master System ones - the same games that were released on the Game Gear though the Game Gear ones had cropped screen resolution due to the smaller screen. Apparently it made some boss fights MUCH harder as you're seeing a much smaller area of the level!

    ...

    Space tchoo tchoooo, love it! :D 

    :lol 

    Gotta be the Blackbird, it's the only really iconic X-Men vehicle, especially as it's in the logo there! If he/she doesn't have a blue and yellow robot mode I will be DISTRAUGHT! I wonder which X-Men they'll draw inspiration from for the robot mode design though? Could see a Cyclops visor and ooh! Pop out claws? :ev: 
    Wouldn't be surprised if the character is also an Outlier in the bio, considering Outliers were pretty directly Mutants in the IDW comics :) 
    Oh man, I wonder if this could lead to an X-Men/Transformers comic like several of the other crossover figs have? I mean there was an IDW/Marvel crossover before with the Transformers/Avengers comic so it's not impossible!

    And now I just remembered at one point in the comics the Blackbird was a transforming version of Danger, sentient core of the Danger Room who got her own robot body. That would be a deep cut into X-Men lore if they just had it be her!

    Totally! And dear love whichever plebs Hasbro have fielding the queries initially!

    @SJW Current state of play for the .com sets (I'll only believe them when they're in hand)

    @MissingSea Yup, waiting on a few things myself!

    That is a steal. I still have the TRU MP Soundwave and I don't think it's a toy I'd ever part with. It's pretty much perfect in my eyes.

    Also, still enjoying the Autobot Alliance 2 pack of Prowl and Ironhide. To say they are Siege retools - they are amazing. Ironhide is creeping up into my favourite toys of this year.
    There's also a larger gallery of photos on my site if anyone is interested, link in my sig. ;)

    We got the dining room back! Kinda. Joking aside, this was in a very very bad way with boxes everywhere, the table overrun and clothes all over the show.

    So I've decided 4 Air Vehicons is enough so a heads up for everyone I'm going to cancel the pre-order I have for the Transformers Prime 10th Anniversary Breakdown set on Geeky Nerd Toys so they should in theory get it listed back in stock sometime in the next few days so keep an eye out!

    Hmm, Kapow's sale has three of the Diaclone mini mechs for 1/3 price. Hopefully they stay this way so I can pick one up in my next order sometime!
