    Ah yes. Briefly had them last year.

    It was an absolute b*llocking to get them out of the packaging and I didn't like them much. Shortest span into ML ever heh.

    You're telling us Wrigleys Sugerfree (yeah, I zoomed in, fight me! :lol ) chewing gum doesn't make for an acceptable stand? For shame...:p

    Seems to be a theme with them and Kingdom.

    Wouldn't be shocked if Hasbro gave their stock to Zavvi or something. Absolutely ridiculous that you have to do safety orders and a boatload of admin just to secure toys.

    Good afternoon, folks! Just had a nice delivery courtesy of @MyTea Boc, who had very kindly offered me a blaster for my Prime Prime and said that he'd included a "wee extra."

    Eleven days after the date of postage, the package turned up with these little lads.

    A lovely surprise and very much appreciated in these trying times. Cheers!

    Bah! I could've been in first...
    Same postage length, god bless Royal Mail!, but a cracking buy from @MyTea Boc in the shape of MP Inferno

    Brian even knocked a chunk off because he couldn't find the water effect immediately, and only wanted a nominal amount paid to send it on when he did. It went in the post yesterday, so I'll get it before Xmas and have a complete Fuso. Happy buyer!

    Can't remember if I've recommended these guys before but if you need feet stands for your figures, these are the best going for the price:

    So ER Sunny and TB just arrived...Sunny is being set aside for Xmas but I did open TB and he is very nice although I cant work out why both shoulder weapons werent cast in the grey plastic to match the show or toy look?

    I may have to repaint the missile at some point

    Regarding amazon canceling kingdoms preorders, i think they did the uk-eu stock separation last week so it might be related to that.
    Maybe all the incoming stock was coming from hasbro eu to a warehouse in italy or somewhere

    HBO Gives Series Order To 'The Last Of Us'

    Never got on with the make it up as you go along stealth programming in that game, but a series could be absolutely amazing.

    Dan Trachtenberg To Helm 'Predator' Reboot At 20th Century Studios

    So long as it ignores The Predator it's off to a better start than otherwise. 80s sci-fi actioners really don't need their authors trying to be down with the kids via explaining everything away.

    'Black Lightning' To End With Season 4
    ...

    @Darc That's what I've been fearing with Amazon, just as they started selling entire waves, Selects and random exclusives!

    I've got to give some Kudos to Smyths and their free delivery option. I ordered ER Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker yesterday at 10am and was advised of delivery by the 30th. So for them to turn up today...... thats some seriously good service right there. Oh and Yodel should get some of that too as they did the leg work. :thumb

    If we're talking about the T30 one yeah I agree, not a big fan myself and yeah he must be a nightmare to get but, erf, I need a stupid Gears snif. MT is tempting, thank you.
    C'mon Hasbro, I know you'll do it, give us a new Gears/Swerve.

    That being said, T30 swerve is still one of my all time favorite.

    Naw, afraid not! Mum used to work for Empire stores so we ended up in a lot of random ex-catalogue shoot staff discounted sartorial elegance such as a (massively too big) Joe Bloggs T-shirt, and a number of eye-offending shell suits, among other things.

    Agreed!Have to say Yodel & My Hermes (in particular local lass Sandra) have been vast outliers from both companies' prior reps thus far too!
