    Thanks for the heads up, @motorthing - that's those two ordered from Pulse and the Amazon preorder cancelled. Hopefully I have better luck with Yodel than @Art Vandelay - he's 20 mins down the road from me...

    "I don't collect non-Transforming Transformers" he said, confidently incorrect.

    I ordered that Jurassic Park Collaboration toy due out in a couple of months from Amazon.com.
    But looking at the order page I can't tell if it was an order I paid for at the time or if it will be one charged closer to November, as I've changed to a new Card number since - I need to know if I have actually paid for it or just pre-ordered it - How do I find out ?

    I went to see space jam twice with two groups of friends, simply to laugh at it. It was intentionally funny at times, and bad-funny at other times. I also saw an Irish vampire movie with a drama group, called The boys from county hell. A proper horror-comedy. Black Widow was good at the time, but seeing a comparison between her interrogation at the end and her one of Loki in Avengers Assemble made me realise that her characterisation wasn't quite right. Plus,
    the ridiculous nameslap of Taskmaster. It's on the level of "Deadpool" in X-men Origins, to be honest.
    Honestly, I preferred Free Guy.

    Can't decide if I want that siege seeker three pack or if I want to save for omega supreme... enable me, please!

    Thanks for the advice @Dobbie and @Ottertron , Rung and Nox have been ordered!

    Getting a recolour of an expensive toy that I already own seemed a bit extravagant, so I thought I'd see if my wife wanted to get it for me for Christmas - just found out SHE DOESNT HAVE PAYPAL!
    Turns out she's not secretly just a very good looking 70 year old, she just uses mine when she needs it. We've been married a decade and I always just assumed she couldn't find her phone or forgot her password or something when she asks me to order things for her. Now that I think about it, does she not have an amazon account? Is she a spy? ...It would make sense, why else would she marry me...?

    Anyway, Rung and Nox ordered!

    Bwhahaha! So true! Who's going to take one for the team then?

    This is excellent! I don't think I've ever posed a figure as naturally as you have here, bravo!

    How else is he going to punch a moon?:p 

    Re prime: thanks for the positive messages @barry and @joetele ! We're expected to see some sunshine in a few hours, I'll pop out and snap some Prime pics then, for the hard sell!

    Hope you all are having a lovely day!

    What's the story with the upside down G2 Autobot stickers? Was that a thing in Car Robots?

    So they didn’t bother to protect your order? I have that to look forward to now. Mine is en route and I won’t be a happy bunny if they have shipped without an outer box/bubble wrap or some form of protection.

    Normally you get billed straight away by Amazon on in stock items. They don’t take payment up front on POs. Only when the item is shipping they will collect the cash.

    Yeah, thats the logo for the Combatrons in Car Robots.

    Given that his colour scheme is taken from a Lucky Draw version of Fire Convoy, and that series had one of the definitive black repaints with Black Convoy, who was a Combatron, this made sense. Sadly the US release as Scourge ad a Decepticon logo which was a bit less unique.

    Black repaints of Prime are weird because you can use an Autobot logo, a Decepticon logo or a Combatron logo. All have been used officially and all sort of make sense depending on the continuity. Combatron are definitely under represented, Black Convoy and Baldigus are sort of it, and they've been superseded by Scourge and Ruination really.

    They obviously sensed The Lynx Effect :D 

    I loved the action scenes in BW even if the rest of it was (rather) questionable in places. The whole Taskmaster bit was just unnecessary, really.

    Are you likely to be base-building with Omega? I found that to be best with him cos otherwise he's a really large, mostly beige robot with beige 'wings' :oops: 

    The Seekers are amazing bots (I've never actually transformed them!), and the colours are just fun. Plus one of them doubles as Thundercracker lol.

    So I'd say it depends on space and capability around Omega, plus he's not exactly a fiddlebot.

    Indeed, there was no packaging. However, that's not the point (unless it's a Japanese box). The point I was making is that I had forgotten to cancel my Amazon preorder for the Ark, so I ended up printing the return label immediately after receiving the package.

    Thanks, I'll give him a look!

    Aww :oops:  thanks!

    Lol, she's a mistress of deception! :eek: 

    That is a compelling argument :lolol 

    Edit: BTW I'm thinking of gluing the two parts of Eris' palms together because I am fed up of her hands exploding... any advice? I imagine using a small amount would be best to avoid spreading too much when I squeeze the bits together, and to avoid potentially gunking up her fingers? Any idea what glue would be best for MMC plastic?

    Anyone want POTP Dreadwind and Blackwing for £54 postage included

    Thinking of selling my POTP Slag and Swoop for £25 each, Sludge and Snarl £28 each and then £30 for Grimlock? DM if you want to buy them all and I’ll get a postage quote.

    Just some bits off the top of my head. More to come. I was going to make a set of G1 toy inspired Dinobots out of them but I know that project will never come to be.

    Another "Oops, something went wrong" email from Pulse...

    The good news is it's for SG Blurr, so he must be on the way out the door.

    I emailed them about the exclusive comic the other day, so it will be interesting to see if Pulse UK treat the comic any better than Pulse USA did, or just chuck it in the box?
