I wonder if it’ll be the BB Cybertron Bee, then again idk if he’s a Target exclusive in the US. Do we know what else apart from T-Wrecks?

 

HOF cancelled my Maverick order a few hours after I placed it, when I contacted them they claimed they didn't receive payment; my bank had the transaction listed as "pending" which in my experience resolves to "paid" within a short time. My Smyths order placed shortly afterwards went through fine. Conclusion: HOF can do one, didn't want that silly Crossover toy anyway.  

Cybertron Bee looks strange, but then he can be a new character who was built that way. I have the Maas Toys WWI (love that acronym!) Bee though. So obviously I don't need this one. Do I?  

 

Is the world's collide set notionally a Target exclusive? Much trepidation ensues!

 

I like the way the shadow of the Matrix casts a Punisher like skull on Galvatrons chest.  

 

On that subject I recently read both Punisher: Platoon and Punisher: Soviet by top Punisher writer Garth Ennis and enjoyed both, particularly the latter. He loves writing old war stories (which I think is what he's best at, though I did love Preacher) and in these two books he manages to combine that with Frank killing people. Which is what Frank likes best.

 

Had a quick google and couldn't find any for sale. Any ideas @Napalm ?

 

Soooo, not into the head, the colour or the kibble hanging off all of him. I also have no real collection to display him with. Still want him though don't I? Fuckin' mug.

Any hints about a Cybertronian Wheeljack to chill with this guy?

 

Looks like my BS Beskar Mando might finally be shipping from C&C...just got an 'order processing' email...only 3 months after i placed the order

 

@Siege Fan, a lot of valid points there especially when critiquing the narrative. Some character actions felt out of place and there to push the story forward where other bits were like stalling for time, although that's so commonplace in most media I think I just roll my eyes and crack on now.

I was well happy with it overall though, especially going in with low expectations. Not for the reasons a lot of folk have jumped on, but for reasons of tone. Thankfully - aside from a couple of violent 'Yeah, that's pandering to a certain crowd' scenes - it was far from the edgelord nonsense I expected, and brimming over with colour and action. A lot of the big character beats landed for me, its heart is in the right place and it's opened up the mythology. I got invested. And I need Part 2 immediately.

Very interested to see what the other show presents itself as now. Maybe people dissatisfied with this will find what they're looking for there.

You'll be fine. There's a nominal recap and the first episodes do a decent job helping you appreciate certain things without understanding the history behind them.

Just as planned  

Marrowmax was a break out star of that show, especially when he got his own miniseries in the comic.

Never

Or Boneasaurs

What about the Goldbone exclusive?

Ooh that is cool!  

You really are good at whipping up these short story things  

 

I'm concerned by the tentacles...

 

I'd like to pretend that was intentional and I'm a master of light and shadow. But considering how poorly lit my average photo is, I doubt you'd buy that  

Secret pre-order reveal at 2pm?
It's totally either going to be cyber-bee at £35
Or the world's collide set at £80 (a price to scunder me having opted for robot kingdom) but in such short quantities to annoy the masses.

 

Also, the first time i dont immediately delete one of the Argos Sale emails and actually check it out I see something, BS Endor Han Solo for only £9...bargain i thought, plus i had that figure as a kid...go to checkout and no home delivery and the closest store with stock is near Liverpool.

Talk about seeing the sliver lining and then getting the cloud...but if anyone is near the Nantwich Argos/Sainsburys (or any other with stock) I will cover cost and postage if you can get me one

 

It’s on an Etsy store, I can’t remember the name now but @Napalm might know. The Rotorstorm kit looks fantastic.

Found it:

Crosshairs:

Rotorstorm:

I think I went with the lighter blue but I don’t remember.

 

Ahhhhh, from the same seller:

Can we all just invest in a 3D printer together? Who's got the room for it? Send me your PayPal deets!

 

In case it is Worlds Collide going up for preorder soon, I'd be happy to take anyone's unwanted BW figures for a fair price   (unless the pack itself is actually good value, then I'll just try and get the whole thing XD)

 

If you decide to get it, I’ll take Fangry and Bee  

 

Don't suppose you know of anywhere to get a clear chest piece for ss86 grimlock?

 

Flame Toys - Kuro Kara Kuri Jazz & Furai Model Arcee, Blackarachnia, Bludgeon, and Banzai-Tron Revealed - Transformers News - TFW2005

I've their IDW Prime, if that Bludgeon is as articulated as him without the pervy thrusting hips that have plagued the rest of the line, well...

It definitely has heart, that's why I found some of the script to be so relatively off-putting and other bits to be great. Overall if parts hadn't stank of a committee it would have been more solid IMO.

I gotta say though, I only really wanna see more if that insanely numerous cast is actually gonna build up to a proper fight. Maybe even a war. The sort that requires He-Man. Teela's fine but deliberately stuck in narrative limbo.

 

I think that Noneff guy did a run, but other than that idk mate. I was hoping DNA Designs would have done one for the Grimlock kit

 

Love this figure, even more so the black version, again agree it is cool he is such a menacing figure in the series, and that is backed up, intentionally or not, by his figure being bigger than the Optimus (the voyager one, we don't talk about the Leader Animated Optimus...we just don't).

Might I suggest the Badcube blaze not-Spinout? He can be picked up for a smile and a wave nowadays and is not the worst figure.
He has succumbed to 'MP5 syndrome' of being available much cheaper than when he was released by either being a bit shoddy or replaced by something better, take your pick which one is relevant here.
The same was evident when I asked for the price on a collection of WH40K Imperial Guard figures at a boot this morning, he wanted 100 quid as he "paid 500 quid".....wonder what the weather is like in Narnia?
The same army new can be picked up for 65 quid now as one of their newer 'start collecting' army sets.

Talking of the boot this morning.....



"Dad, he's so cute, can we keep him, can we keep him"?
"Yes son, as long as you understand that YOU are feeding it, YOU are clearing up after it, and I am shooting it if it so much as looks at me funny".

One of the rarer McDonalds toys I assume as I have never seen it before.

Laters.
