    So... Anyone want Bee and the Beasts? Alternatively, anyone not want their Fangry?

    Thanks!
    If anyone's still looking for a VW Bee, I managed to get hold of a spare Netflix Bumblebee a little while ago. I was holding onto it in case my main one broke, but I'd be willing to sell it if anyone's interested and willing to match ebay prices?

    The median price I'm seeing for a sealed one is about £50, I think that's the least I'd need to move him on, rather than keep it as a backup...

    Just FYI, you could maybe pad out a Pulse order for Buzzworthy at Pulse if you can't find it with the usual suspects.

    Mine was a few pence over £43 shipped at Show Z Store. Their prices always change a bit and as of a few minutes ago he's now £46.61.

    Incredibly shiny silver and black plastic, movable jaw, magnets in the hips for the guns, bendy tail, amazing metallic paint on the eyes that make them look like they're glowing, 3 sets of swappable hands, a tiny cassette that fits in a spot on the backpack, an easy transformation and no fugly gaps that require an additional kit increasing the overall cost.

    He's £45 on TFSafari and £46 on Show-Z.

    The tips of his ears are just under the 7" mark on my tape measure. He also has magnets in his guns and thigh's so you can pose them like in the show and his feet are diecast. Biggest downside is not very much movement in his neck.

    (and I can't get him in a "Wakanda Forever!" pose)

    Thank you camera for focusing on the sodding wall behind him.

    House of Fraser just processed my mystery Leader class toy. Impulse buy, I was bored that day. If it's Double-dealer does anyone want it, I have no real connection to the character.

    Easy pass for me. As for non VW Bee, well this is a best of both worlds for people who might not care for Bee as a VW :)  a quick TFWiki search looks like BA is her original toy colours but ugh, pass!

    This on the other hand GET IN MY MOUTH!

    I wonder if the licenses is for specific types of releases as the Bee Movie VW Bee is getting a new release in Takara's Premium Finish line, so maybe it's something about this being a multipack? Or they just wanted to give people a non VW Bee option?

    I love your headcanons! :eek: 

    :lol 

    Heh, well that'll make someone very happy :D  I'm not actually getting the SS Dinobots, I just think it'd be hilarious for Sludge to come with the Prosecutor because of the scene in the movie where they squash him with the door :lolol 

    Probably crazy thought but: What if Ravage is a retool/pretool of the Tigatron mold we're getting? I've got nothing to back this up, just a thought.

    New thought: The original Ravage toy and show model were retools from Transmetal Cheetor, so could this be a pretool for THAT? :eek:

    Me and a friend ordered a bunch of the pot luck listings from House of Fraser/sports direct /whatever. First one just came through.... Voyager starscream. Weird, cos there's a lot more in the same order. I guess it's split over a number of deliveries. Makes it more exciting I spose

    That'd be a quite small Voyager, unless that tape Ravage is OS.

    After getting the e-mail earlier saying Blackarachnia will be here Monday I just got a knock at the door and it's early!

    Initial thoughts are about as expected, it's an excellent sculpt with decent articulation but the colours are very flat and really don't do the mould any favours
