As @Brooticus asserts, the trailer armour without the Optimus that goes in it, and by the looks of things missing some trailer side wings & the honking great Lights & SFX MAHOOSIVE B.F.G. to boot!

DOTM (I am a Beautiful Butterfly of) Ultimate (Doom) Prime!

 

Is what is says in the listing. However that is hilariously mistransformed. I have a pic of his royal badassness kicking about somewhere. Great toy.

 

Yes you big nipple

 

Meanwhile I learned (or rather got reconfirmed) that there are far too many impatient people who have a hard time reading.

Snag anything for the stream? I got me a Prime Darksteel. Yey.

 

I didn't get Exprime, unfortunately. However I did get Beast Wars 2 Galvatron, whose pink, phallic ridiculousness has been an object of desire for some time. I also grabbed Nitro Zeus and Animated Voyager Bulkhead.

 

The flight stands I usually recommend for (smallish) Transformers items are the black logo ones - they are solid and look pretty cool, work with MFT/Vecma stuff perfectly too. The dirt cheap clear ones are OK for tiny stuff - but they are not very good at staying up - I had one with a Vengence and one with a Batwing on it and they both drooped after a while - they work brilliantly for things like Masterpiece Ratbat though.

I did consider getting one of those christmas tree looking multi-stands but they are not easy to find - they'd look great covered in decepticon jets though. Multi-stands would be nice for the smaller stuff - I saw someone (maybe on here) do it with Iron Factor seekers and it look really terrific.

I hope Soundwave and Optimus actually come into home delivery stock on smyths I'd really like that Soundwave.

 

It is 8:36 am on a Sunday and Royal Mail just delivered a Transformer I won on eBay Thursday.

So yeah. Soundwave Sunday I guess.

 

@doucoo youre a legend Douglas, you’re nearly there!!

 

Wow, that's missing everything! I chucked one of these away ages ago and it looked exactly like this.

Re: VAT on overseas orders.
I looked up whether Aliexpress charge at the point of sale the other day, which they do. However, this was on an order under the £15 threshold (order total was around £8 Inc shipping) - is that right?

 

As far as I know, yes. I'm fairly sure the under £135 vat requirement is for everything under £135. Or rather, I don't recall reading that there's an exception to it, save individual-to-individual stuff.

 

SS Dino looks very very nice! Just watched a review on him. The transformation looks like a fun thing to fiddle with, and his vehicle mode while not accurate is actually really very nice!

Also i just wanna talk about the new Cyberverse toys here, i am PUMPED for Deluxe Cheetor, Ultra Ramjet, Deluxe Slug and Ultra Sludge! Cheetor especially i freaking love cheetor, and loved him in Cyberverse!

 

@Brum Bot - snap.

@doucoo -  

 

great news

 

Snow day.

 

would take wheeljack, Trailbreaker and what is that legends misfire?

I only ask as I need a Misfire for one of the lines. Might be the one.

no worries if all sold.

cheers.

 

Thanks everyone for elaborating. I did a bit of sleuthing after my post and figured it was probably that but the listing was a tad sparse on the details. Not that it's something I had any intention of buying, just thought it was funny  

And wow, that ultra mode is so OTT I love it  

Oooh that looks cool! Also thanks for giving me some idea of how big he actually is. It's unlikely to happen at this point but imagine a Commander Class Magnus based on Maximus Ambus' design? Complete with shoulder turrets for legends/core class figures  

Ditto here with a guest appearance by @we_are_forest   grats on reaching the end of the first week of 2021! You're in the home stretch!

Same here, though it's mostly melted/turned to snow now and I got up too late to go out in it   I took loads of photos though!  

 

Made something horrific last night.

 

I am very rarely here, happenstance I popped on to put something in the eBay section, had a quick look in here, and ofc recognised Fire Guts, and your good self!

Had to check AA/TFN pics to check the timings, I bought him from you at my first AA back in '09 for £90, then sold him back to you in '13 for the same £90. Just had a quick look, no sold listings on eBay, cheapest listed one is over £600! Can I have him back again for the £90?!?  

 

disappointing. hope the insurance pays out to you.
