    Just in case you weren't told this, and feel free to ignore if I've got the wrong end of the stick, but I was advised at the start to only prick the side of my finger, never the pad ont he tip, and also don't use your index finger or thumb for testing as all of those things WILL hurt and pricking the pad means it will hurt every time you touch something with that finger. Just some friendly advice from one Diabetic to another :) 

    Snrk :lol 

    By this point I'd say you've been more than polite with this prat. Also he's been kind enough to furnish you with a lot of evidence of harassment to show to ebay. Best of luck on getting this sorted :thumb 

    Oh no, Galvy is looking pretty good. But if I get him then I'll feel the need to get Cyclonus and Scourge D:
    That said, looking at that 3/4 shot with the Matrix chain it looks like the chain may be attached by the 5mm port on the back of the Matrix, and I could do with getting a second one of the Matrix mold as I want to make a broken/corrupted Matrix for my Revenent Prime custom but still want a 'good' version too, and Galvy is a figure I could live with, compared to Hot Rod I just really don't like G1 Rodders :lol 

    Though his Matrix FX are pretty neat... I guess the only way I'd get him would be to nab him for the Matrix and FX and then probably pass him on to someone who just wanted the figure? I dunno.

    For some reason it amuses me greatly when bots can poke their heads out like that in vehicle mode :lol

    While I wait for the largest parcel drop in personal history (should be 11 of the bastards and even my long suffering family are going to raise eyebrows) Smyths have reminded me that this..... Screenshot_20210324-115614.png

    Was also ordered. And on the way.

    Yikes.

    Usually when I get boxes, the postie has already ran off before I can check the name. Once I got the wrong parcel to me and by the time I realised, he was already round the corner. Fortunately he realised almost straight away and came back in his van to pick it back up, but maybe they took it in and didn't have chance to tell the postie it was wrong before he scarpered? I know, I'm being optimistic today, but it's being a good day so I'm feeding that back into the world with optimism. But yeah, that's something to contact ID about.

    Then you should take a look at RID 01's X-Brawn. His entire robot head is just straight up hanging out on the front passenger seat. They even animate him in the show doing that!

    It’s an OSKO of Zoids HMM Death Stinger by Za Models, or Supernova, not sure which, and you can preorder it from ShowZ.

    Beware, though, if looking online for it as although it appears cheaper from Oh My Primus, they want £100 for shipping.... :/

    Is anyone here interested in my ‘heavily customised with Molotow chrome and brass’ Metroplex?

    There’s no effing way this is going on eBay.

    I’ll even chuck in the Before And After Sigma Sixgun fella too.

    And, yes, Molotow does come off with alcohol.

    Anyway, hit me up.

    Only had a little fiddle (oo-err) with Dinobot and Huffer this morning before making my way to work, but both seem pretty perfect. I'll see how they hold up after transforming them tonight when I get home :D 

    The Kingdom Gods appear to be messing me about though. No Optimus Prime cards in wave one, now three of the buggers in wave two, and no Megatrons. I can't win :lol

    If you see Cyclonus or Scourge on sale or whatever, grab them. You won't regret it, I promise. The hench hangs out of them!

    I can see a lively trade in card swaps in the future once everyone has all their figures.

    Gave up waiting for hasbro pulse to get back to me and used the direct hasbro customer service contact form. Got an email back from Pulse within an hour to say they hadn't had my first and second message there and now Scourge and Hot Rod are out of stock, so it's return and refund only. Luckily I kept my Hot Rot order with SAF, so only Scourge to find at some point.
    If you've emailed Pulse and not heard back, it might be worth going this route - I got message receipt emails with ticket numbers both times I used the Pulse contact form, so there's something going wrong on their end.

    Found this Shapeways sword in the shed at the weekend whilst tidying, just got to wait for Chopperface to get his Dinobutt here so I can see how he looks with it.

    Glad you got your's sorted. SAF is so slow responding to emails, I may be waiting a long while!
