The colours and finish just look so much better on those than on Gnaw.
Oddly I don’t have a Pit of Judgement Sharkticon to look at but I assume it’s the same as Gnaw with no new details.
Did you order from Aliexpress?

I deliberately held the order for one until I could be sure of getting the other one. So I’ll be quite happy to unbox them both later this week.

 

I feel the same. The paint job makes them stand out a lot when compared to the muted tone of the original.

I’m settling on 5 sharkticons and I said to @Siege Fan earlier today the temptation to army build these critters is strong. For me this will be enough for a diorama with HotRod and Kup.

Jazz is looking lovely from your photos. I’m due my copy on Thursday. I spotted the hands looking weird but I’m sure I can look past that like you have done.

You have given me peace of mind that I won’t be disappointed with the purchase.

Yep they were from AliExpress. Cost £27 plus £3 shipping. The Black Friday week started today on AliExpress finishing this Friday. Opportunities to get coupons and discounts on purchases bringing costs down.

I bought from the seller SuperFigure Store:



Looks like they are out of stock now. I’m sure there are others sellers with the stock. Just be careful on the one 3pk set which has a greyed out, a clear one and regular sharkticon. Some sellers may make mistakes.

 

Today’s robot addition...



Got my shipping notice from SAF for Runabout, surprisingly excited to complete the Battlecharger sub-group - and invoice from Kapow for Gigawatt; I think ol Marty mcprime will be put by for Xmas, although I do now have my da-50 waruder gigantor shipping from japan so perhaps he will be saved for Xmas day instead!

 

Oh, that is lovely  

 

Doublecrosser is a nice addition. I’m only using as a shield.

Ditto- Comics has shipped my copy of Runabout and Black Roritchi today. Looks like quite a lot of us will be proud owners later this week of a full set of battle chargers.

I’ve forgotten who I have gigawatt on PO with. Might be Kapow but no invoice.

I’ve just this minute had a Hermes delivery:

 

Tempted to pick up a set of those insecticons but I was thinking they might get overhauled for SS86...

 

Transformers War For Cybertron Trilogy: Earthrise Debuts December 30 on Netflix - Transformers News - TFW2005

 

That’s sooner than I expected!

 

Belated Birthday Greetings, Mister B!!!
And you bring us this gift!

May you have many more happy returns on your journey to the 25th Century!

Don't...worry...once....you've....watched.....the.....show......it......will.......seem.......longer!  

 

I have a spare one of these if anyone is interested in taking the MOTWWEU plunge. Comes with Cena and Trips. Only available in WalMart in the USA at this point.

 

Got the phone call from the docs and as expected I'll have to start taking an extra tablet for blood pressure.

Unexpected, but definitely welcome was the discussion about my other meds which lead to a recommendation that I gradually start reducing the dosage of one of my anti depressants because the main side effect is feeling drowsy and lethargic which isn't exactly conducive to feeling motivated to do a whole lot so will be crossing all digits that it works because I've thought for a long time that the side effects were as much of a problem as anything else but other docs did the whole "You're mentally ill so you don't know what's good for you" routine.

General blood sugar control, liver, kidneys and everything except blood pressure are all good and my blood pressure isn't into the red by any means, it's just been going in the wrong direction so best to halt that decline ASAP.

Toys,
More pre-ordering at 9pm for the new Vintage Collection reveals.

The batteries were a bit fiddly to install but the lights work really well and the figure is really well done although I do think he should have had a 2nd head with a more action oriented expression....if they make Crystal maybe they can include one with her?

Will have a look at Black Bolt later when I've had something to eat.

 

Woo Runabout on his way from C&C.

Speaking of @robotmel did you manage to secure one?

 

I’d be very interested, how much are you asking dude?

 

PM sent

 

I could do with a new Schrapnel (he does the job nicely though) but Bombshell is cool and Kickback is, in my opinion, awesome. I'm an insecticons nut yes but honestly, KB was a good portion of my 2017 crazy TR love.
So, nice catch !


Speaking of cool things, do you guys know what seems pretty harmless at first but turns out it will invade your soul for possibly eternity ?
Soleil/Crusader of Centy OST.


(first released game from the Sega Mega RPG Project, a 1994 initiative which aimed at bringing back the MD front and center in the RPG genre, a genre that at this date the Super Famicom had an incredible lead with)

And I mean it. Like, I only played this game once, in 2012 (yep not even back when it was released), and while it's a pretty nice adventure game which kind of borrow from ALTTP but with its own charms and twist, the musics are for some reasons engraved in my mind since then. It's not even an incredibly crazy spectacular OST, at all, but it's simply way on point, really good, and stupidly catchy.
I've not touched that game since eight years, I don't even listen to it really frequently, but out of nowhere I can suddenly have this track or that track popping in my head and it just won't leave. And I don't mind, because it always deliver a smile on my face.
It's pianist artist Motokazu Shinoda only foray into an original game soundtrack and, well, I guess he did a pretty good job at it !

 

Thanks ever so much for the offer although this was a duplicate pre-order. I jumped on the restock at ID Toys and managed to get a set from them.

I still haven't brought myself to finish stickering up Breakdown or even building his Micron. Those stickers are straight from the arsehole of the devil!

 

I was hoping kapow would get my slitherfang order in but still nothing from them on this front. Anyone here able to hook an autobot brother out with a slitherfang for not ludicrous money?

 

Mate it could be months before those appear, if ever, I had to cancel mine to free up everything else. It's happened to loads of people.
...

Jump to 1.40 for the new box layout, weapon hideaway and collector nonsense.

 

Ah simpler times, I never had Sonic Spinball, but my neighbour did and I remember spending ages playing it. I do still have Sonic 1,2 and Sonic &
Knuckles for my Mega Drive, though oddly never got Sonic 3. I keep meaning to pick it up, but then I got Sonic 3 on the Xbox and realised my reactions don't seem to be quick enough anymore   and I doubt I'd get the old system out to play it.

Happy birthday to @barry from another Barry.

No sign of my Runamuck yet, over two weeks now, I know RM are behind, but that's taking the proverbial. No despatch notification on my Runabout either, feeling a bit cursed with these lads.

 

If you do decide to trade, could do the siege hide for him. Get a fourth alicon to match the four sharkticons. Although if someone with no alicons want him, give them first shot.
