    Planet X is one of my favourite 3rd parties :p  just wish they’d pull their finger out and go after some of the characters that don’t have a toy yet like WFC Air Raid or even the generics. I’d pay for them to make one of the giant tank bosses.

    Refuse to let my X seekers go despite having a few versions of the seekers. Something about the WFC/FOC design for Starscream and co is iconic.

    Dude if you can grab a couple of stands if you get a chance that would be fab. No rush though so don’t put yourself out.

    I snagged a Henkei Mirage from eBay today for a decent price so that’s almost all of the series 1 Autobots complete.

    Indeed, today I had an existential crisis when I looked deep down my detolf and realised Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus is not Ultra Magnus at all. I thought about replacing it with Siege UM, but that fella is 2/3 of the height. Tall impostor, or legitimate midget?

    I miss messing around with the Character creation in that game. I must have spent hours making pretty much every character I could find on tfwiki.

    Legitimate midget, LEGACY COMMANDER CLASS ULTRA MAGNUS INCOMING.

    Oh man those were the days. Autobot aligned Shockwave headed Starscreams blitzing around the maps noscoping with the null ray. What an era.

    Got a message from Hermes saying a package which will be my Hot Wheels Grogu is imminent so I'll see how this plays out.

    If Hermes had gotten hold of Grogu in the show he'd probably have been in much worse shape when Mando rescued him :D

    I am still surprised nobody made a leg extension kit to turn Leader Class Siege UM into Commander Class RID UM.

    Ebay:
    So, Kapow have sold out of Kingdom Tracks..... I wonder if they're going to send me my invoice for him soon?

    I was trying to avoid invoices due to previous bad experiences but the glut of Hasbro releases around April made it seem a sensible option.

    I really don't want to have to email them again, it's getting tiresome. It's not even Kapow's fault, it's Hasbro incompetence of not being able to stick to release dates that they suggest.

    [Rant mode]
    I thought something screwy could happen when they decided to send out Kingdom Galvatron (who was on the same order) early due to Hasbro UK doing what Hasbro UK does. Kapow sent out the invoice for Galvatron explaining what was happening and they were swallowing the cost of the extra postage. An excellent bit of customer service from them for a situation that was out of their control. I paid up; Galvatron has been received all safe and well.

    25 days later I receive another invoice from Kapow, only one figure it could be for right? Nope, another invoice for Kingdom Galvatron for £42.25 (technically it could have been Evil Netflix Mirage as that order is still processing, I can dream). Ohh well, mistakes happen. I'll let them know and they'll sort everything out right? The reply I got seemed to suggest so, it's not happened though. Even after explaining that I still had to pay for Kingdom Tracks and was prepared to do so as soon as they issued the invoice.

    This isn't the first time this has happened either. October last year it took 4 or 5 emails to get an invoice for Earthrise Snapdragon that was holding up other items in the order that Hasbro trickle released over months. I knew they had a backlog at the time and was prepared to wait; but I also knew if I didn't pay for an item in the order it wouldn't trigger the despatch process.

    Scam site. Don't go near it. A lot of their stock is TOO cheap, the 'contact us' email address is dodgy AF and I've seen the same layout used a few times before on other scam sites.

    @Astro-Furby agree with this. Don’t put any detail of yours on the site.

    Thanks for this

    I would totally go for this one which is the first link I googled
    https://www.google.co.uk/aclk?sa=L&...wi0y9PRucryAhX1RkEAHT2pD5kQwg96BAgBEBM&adurl=

    If only because it looks a 3D printed head away from being Whirl

    but alas the shipping charges are as much as the figure and more than I wanna pay for testing the water

    I may have bought Fall of Cybertron.

    Think I played a demo for War way back when? This'll be my first owned TF game I believe!

    I completed the first one but never actually owned the 2nd one...at least I don't think I did, it's been a while now so I can't remember exactly.

    I've still got Devastation somewhere in storage with some other Xbox 360 games, really enjoyed that as an homage to G1 despite one or two niggles such as Bumblebee and Sideswipe looking like their Classics alt modes instead of the real deal but it was still fun and the cell shaded graphics worked way better than I feel they do in other games.

    The generic Conehead minion from that game would make a perfect repaint so I'm hoping Iron Factory make one eventually. The Vehicons that were obviously based on the Battlechargers were nice as well.

    My browser (Firefox on Win10) didn't even let me visit the site unchecked, gave me a warning that it was probably a scam!

    Cracking little game, even though I generally got utterly lost re: what was happening where. Same with the sequel, only more so. And we'll never get to see Eye of the Moon...

    Starting to get fifo jitters on tracks...the figure does still have bad legs and a worrying amount of clear plastic? Need to convince myself that yes, even tho its a car i dont need it. Even if it does look nice in pictures...

    Aside from the beast wars figures i've gone for a tad more transformers this year than planned, so need push back before it gets more out of hand.

    On a another note tf-safari has some generation selects star convoy up for sale, i was wondering if it would fill the powermaster prime spot or if power baser is the way to go?
