    MP Optimus Primal is getting a reissue....slightly tempted to get another one to use with the Kingdom lads.

    I'll pre-order MAFEX Symbiote Spidey at some point and then try to forget about it for a bit as the current release date is July next year but that'll change :D 

    NECA's ALF is one of those figures I had no idea I might need :D 

    @Genodectes,
    Welcome!

    Welcome to the Enablethread! That’s a nice haul, always thought Off-Road was snazzy. :D 

    @Siege Fan I think those are the Cyber Battalion re-release two-packs? I have a KO of the Screamer and used to have one of the Oppy but gave it to a small child. Nice toys, especially the former! Saw the Megs down the pub and he’s neat too. Currently unpacking my stuff and haven’t got to grips with the new listings yet so I could have got the sticky end of the wrongbranch. :)

    These things are prohibitively expensive, right? Right? Because you sure as hell are making them look tempting, you magnificent bastard.

    And to think there's still one more day to go! Surely the stakes couldn't get any higher?

    Ah, that is a good tip. I'll definitely do that. I think I'll try some aluminium metalcote on it, see how well it turns out.

    My mum warned me about girls like you.

    Eh, not a big deal. Presumably they're going to pass through a bunch of different universes throughout the film so it's not at all strange to imagine they'll wave at Professor X on their way past. Doesn't mean they'll keep him though. Patrick Stewart is pretty well aware he's too old to keep at it outside of the odd cameo here and there.

    What would be fun is if it happened to be the universe from the end of DoFP, aka the only good X-Men universe.

    They should make a new one in Ultra Magnus colors, without wings, priced at 60 GBP.

    Grimlock arrived today and he’s bloody marvellous.
    I know I’m late to the party but he’s fabulous so a massive thanks to whoever let us know about the Hasbro eBay discount this week.

    My first Grimlock as I never had one as a kid, I only had Snarl.
    I expected a complicated transformation but I’m pleasantly surprised at how simple it actually seems.

    Welcome in. I started doing the same during lockdown last year with no regrets (yet).

    Off-Roads really growing on me, I managed to get the Takara version of Menasor so I’m not sure how well he’s going to match the team but he’s a solid figure and the axe is really nice. Definite weakness for Combiner teams since never had any as a kid, so I’m catching up

    I love MP32, but using him with the Kingdom Beasts tends be just the OG Line - Optimus dwarfs everyone else by a lot.

    OMG I've ended up as a size Queen afterall......:D 

    Sort of annoyed that BW MPs have gone totally silent for a long time with the OG Core Cast of Maximals frustratingly close to done and they come back with a reissue and more radio silence.

    Rhinox and Rattrap are pretty much the only MPs I'm still wanting at this point.

    Welcome aboard New Person!

    Sometimes you want to make something subtle and artistic. Other times you just want to turn the contrast so high it burns a hole through the screen.

    Welcome aboard buddy.

    You should have listened to your mother, and then chose to ignore her ;)

    You know, it just occurred to me, that SG Magnus may not be from the Siege or Kingdom editions, but might be a Lazer Prime repaint - sure in the Fun Pub comic and figure he was based on RTS Lazer Prime.

    I'm sure your gutted about that prospect of not having another chance to own the Kingdom Magnus mold ;)

    GOOD LORD! You could be right!
    It would make sense, and would match with Hasbro's seeming ability to not be able to get a Proper Delta Mags out for toffee! :lol

    its most likely in hand as they received their order of them a few weeks ago. they told me they might end up with a spare or 2 so keep an eye on the website, but clearly have decided to flog it on ebay for an extra £100. bit cheeky but who can blame them? otherwise, they're a solid retailer.

    remember that gear4geeks is due another load in, and the last ones were sold for £200, so might be worth waiting for that

    Today’s arrivals:

    6DFC8EF5-30F2-4736-82D2-3D8C756129B5.jpeg

    Rainmakers have finally arrived via Kapow and the Marvel Legends are from Zavvi (!) as part of their ‘3 for £30’ offer.

    Which worked out well for me as I skipped Jean/Logan on their release but I have the upcoming AoA wave preordered and needed to hunt them down at some point.

    I could be right. I hope not mind you, I wouldn't mind a Delta Magnus from Siege-dom Maggie.

    :jawdropper: 

    Speaking of combiner wars, I had Optimus Maximus down off the shelf earlier. Every figure in the set has been replaced and surpassed in WFC, but you can't argue with CW having some pretty, pretty alt modes.

    Beeftimus was a flawed big-armed brute of a figure, but I always enjoyed the 'fuck it, lets have fun' mentality of the Prime Wars trilogy. Combiner Optimus, Triple changing G2 style Headmaster Optimus, combining super robot Orion Pax Optimus. Got to admire that commitment to putting a spin on the big guy.
