    I sadly couldn't back Unicron due to he was out of my price range at the time, but for £140 I would happily back that. A WFC Victory Saber on the level of Kingdom Galvatron for that price (which is pretty much 2 Commanders) sounds like a fair deal if true.

    Oooh, the roads are lovely and quiet - makes me want to go back out for a drive.

    Came back from a curry about 7:30 and I haven’t seen the roads this dead since the first week of the first lockdown in 2020 it was lovely. Mind you, I am in Scotland and the roads are meant for horse and trap ;) ;) ;)

    Pretty sure Ryan himself is trolling though, posting he's about to do a Fangry & Brisko gallery, and the latest gallery is the TR Version! :lol

    Sigh. I really wish Rodneymus Prime would hurry up and arrive. My Kapow order is him, Galvatron and Tracks, and the other two are very much out in America.

    I admire your patience, I couldn’t wait for Tracks and Rodimus so I went with eBay as well. Tracks is here but Roddy is in either Australia, in the mountain of packages at Heathrow or been shot down somewhere in a random Middle Eastern desert. You won’t be disappointed with Galvatron and Tracks does the job, just needed better shin plates with longer tabs for the side of the legs and he’ll be a 10. I’d do it myself if I had a 3D printer and sell them for the price of postage.

    Was it @Bips who had the 3D printer and was going to do something for Galvatron? If I can get the measurements you need for new shins for Kingdom Tracks do you think you’d be able to print some? You’d just need to punch the pin out to replace them.

    Ahh sorry buddy, I couldn’t be bothered to look through my alerts to see who it was :rolleyes: 

    I’ve been meaning to pick up a cheap but serviceable one just to get into it, I think they’re a fantastic thing.

    Every picture of Tracks I see he looks spectacular as part of a group. And Rodneymus will forever be my space dad. While I do still like PotP Rod I can't deny that Kingdom Rod accomplishes more by trying less. And he's carting a nice tidy box around with him.

    It's just an annoyance that they're emerging so gradually when you've got three tied up in one order. I placed it pretty sharpish when they went on Kapow, but the anticipation is starting to get to me.

    I know he’s a deluxe, but I figured he’d be a bit bigger than he is. Packs a lot into the price/size class though and the flying car is the cherry on top of this bakewell.

    Arguably better than the masterpieces one (in terms of swooshing around) except the arms, but if you fold them so the blue panels face the inside of the car it makes it look like the arms are attached to the side of the car and not floating like they are in the stock images.

    Another good thing is that if yours has loose legs, hips or even waist you can take apart his lower half and put whatever you use to tighten the joints as they’re all mushroom pegs apart from the ankle joints. Mine has a defect on the car hood though as the Autobot symbol is very very slightly crooked and misaligned. I kinda like it though as it’s a goof you’d find in the show.

    I’ve only recently started to appreciate Roddy truth be told, and I felt the same as many when he “gets” Prime killed in the movie (although I don’t REALLY believe that anymore I just don’t want to get witchhunted). Regardless he deserve a solid figure and while there were attempts I think Kingdom seems to tick that box. I would absolutely go for a MP Rodimus V2 though, and pay the premium for it.

    I almost got myself stuck in that web as it’s definitely a case of “QUICK BEFORE IT BECOMES SOLD OUT” and it doesn’t help these characters above don’t get a figure every line. It gets tiresome.
