    I guess that's today's TF!
    The grimacing Toy homage head is right there in the artwork and box back render but the actual toy just looks like he's been hanging out with the Warboys, bad form, Hasbro!
    Still at least a rest for the wallet for me.

    And it's fake. That's not how rust or decay works. It's clever how he's set it up and what he's done artistically to get it that overly weathered position, but it's a con.

    Totally, it's not even an old toy if it's what I think it is.

    Yeah, I was super hyped to see that trailer. My sister and my old school friend who I play Smash with poopooed my saying there would be some form of Metroid and it got more than Zelda did!

    happy enough

    They'd have tempted me to take a punt if they'd given us the alternative head and the new paint deco, but I can pass on T-Wrecks as it stands.

    Portugal win 3-0, another record for Ronaldo as his double makes him the highest scoring player in the final stages of a European Championship with 11 from his 5 tournaments.

    Hope Germany knock the shite out of Pogba next! :D

    Confirmed by a TF Tuesday Email in my Inbox, standing down wallet from Red Alert!
    I was sure something BIG was gonna drop this week after I'd punted on DNA Hips (& not so much the other things in the box) for Max, as is usually the way when one has just forked out a tidy sum for a TF/upgrade. Glad I was wrong!
    It's T-Wrecks ideal USP, just a wee bit of variety besides just colour but, nope, borked!

    Oh f**k, just received this today after ordering it from Amazon US, as I thought I’d miss it if I didn’t

    Oh well, at least I got one even if it cost me a bit more than Kapow are selling it for. That’ll teach me for trusting Smyths, I suppose.

    I find it hilarious that SCOURGE of all peopke is the hard to find one out of the SS86 bots. Especially as I just ordered it from Hasbro Pulse with no pre-order...

    Damn you eBay! It's been a long time since I've had to make a claim on eBay, and given the sheer volume of stuff I've bought off there over the years it's a small miracle I've had so few issues. But my good fortune has finally run out.
    With the upcoming Skids reigniting my interest in MP, I decided I wanted to track down a Hound. However, having read about the appalling QC on the official release I decided to go for the KO. I spotted that a Chinese seller I have previously used had him in stock so I confidently took a punt...
    Unfortunately my earlier trouble free transaction with said seller was clearly while he was fulfilling orders to gain good standing, before going rogue and shafting buyers with packages containing small accessories, rather than the figures that had been ordered. As of typing he now has 24 negative feedback within the past month, as opposed to 0 when I placed the order.

    Fear not you say, eBay has your back! Request return initiated. Seller accepts. Then the cheeky blighter messages that he is unable to pay for a return label! So how do we proceed, asks I? Radio silence. Now the frustrating bit - as the seller has accepted the return, I apparently no longer have the option to ask eBay to step in. The ball is now supposedly in my court to post the item!?! Despite the seller being responsible for postage :banghead: 

    I don't recall it being this difficult to navigate around the help options on the site before, it's almost like they're making it impossible for you to resolve an issue. Firing off questions to the "help bot" only results in a derogatory "it looks like I'm unable to help you with that" response. And of course there is no contact information to actually speak to a real life human person. God forbid.

    Losing the will to live with evilBay I have gone to Paypal. At first they tried to palm me off that I should use the Ebay resolution service, but I managed to get past that and initiate a claim through them. Fingers crossed that is the last of my woes with this.

    TL;DR I'm having a bad day

    Transformers must have been a hit so it's strange they didn't show more. ITV showed a lot more of The Real Ghostbusters for example.

    And yes, I remember being urged to go outside too. :D
