Shameless Saturday shill folks :

Brum Bots For Sale Items!!

Feast your eyes, sure I can add some additional discount for U.K. Threadizens  

 

In thunder, lightning, or in rain.

(I hate this toy)

 

LOL, yeah I picked up Cyberverse Commander class Bulkhead in a bag of bits on Facebook. The full size PRiD version is on my work desk, him, Ultra Magnus, Megatron and a host of others have been waiting for me to move so they can come home.

I picked up that metal TARDIS plate from The Who Shop 20 years ago. Dr Who is my other passion, I’m currently working on an attic display cabinet too.
Pictures when ready.

 

Hello Percy, well done on escaping from the factory old chap.

That gap in his back is horrendous, but at least there is a convenient socket/screw hole below it to plug the inevitible filler piece into.

 

UPDATE: T30 Rhinox now sold.

Also, just noticed Wierdwolf's tail isn't pictured however, this is included.

 

HOLY SHIT, to the calendar you go!!!

Just awesome.

 

Nah, it's too low res. Also it's one of my least favourite toys in my collection.

 

News breaking that the United board have called an emergency meeting.

Like the Judas Priest song, some heads are gonna roll!

@nice sideburns,
Apologies for the earlier KFC enablement and any affect it may have on your diet  

TARDISes,
I've got 2 Character Options ones, the 4th Doctor's and the recent release of the 2nd Doctor's.

I've also had these laser sculpted crystal ones which came with light up bases for several years,

(I haven't removed the cellophane to help keep the dust at bay)

The bases can also pull double duty with smaller Transformers,

To say it's pretty much a refinement of the TR Transformation, it ain't that refined IMHO. Seems to me a chunk of the aesthetics for 'scope and tank mode have been binned for a waist and ankle tilts, though benefit of the doubt one assumes we're supposed to turn the head around rather than PvP's visible face case (and if he's right, then it slides further down in my estimation). Still TR < SS'86 in my book. The deploying caterpillar tread extensions in tank mode is an overlooked Triggerhappy Twist Tier bit of design engineering. Plus a better put together microscope mode (at least when muggins here remembers to put it the lens/cannon down correctly instead of hooked into the tank mode-specific tabbing point - D'oh!)!

 

It's been a day of sorting out today to see what can go and what stays.

This fella is a forgotten gem.



So underrated.

 

Feck, I now have no taste!

Some will say my taste left me years ago, especially in fashion and conversation!

Also my anniversary tomorrow and we were getting a curry in. So cruel, I love my food!

 

Time for a vindaloo my good man  

Ah, after yesterday’s drama, today is a better day. Karma doing all the work.

 

First time in while I’ve just had to look at something before saying fuck off out loud. Can’t explain why it bothers me so much that these figures are getting out way early, jealousy aside that it’s not on my shelf  

 

It's funny to read this, Rodders barely stays on my shelf I play with him so often. And strangely I never seemed to really bond with Galvatron. I had Cyclonus and Scourge all lined up, 86 Hot Rod, but somehow, it was a brief play and then on the the shelf he went.

If you ever lose interest and want to sell him, but want to keep the accessories and all that, give me a shout, I'm starting to think I may want a second one to get customised one day.

 

Watched the first episode of Netflix Bebop, and it isn't terrible, Cho in particular is a fantastic Spike, but it does seem kinda...unnecessary? It doesn't do anything better than the show, and the limits of television production as opposed to animation really shows itself (it may also show a lack of flair on the cinematography side, there's a certain visual blandness to it, which I can't tell if it's from the time pressure to get the footage in the can whilst also trying to homage very specific shots from the original, or if the Cinematographer/director(s?) just haven't got the flair, something like the shooting style of Guy Ritchie's Man From Uncle would have been bang on for Bebop). I'm definitely gonna keep dipping in to see where it goes but I won't be shotgunning it, and I'll deffo be re-watching the original!

 

Hydrogen definitely the way to go. I remember reading a thing a few years ago about how the common argument against it had been it being volatile but even however many years ago I read this article they were no more dangerous than it fossil fuel engines are in a crash, and considering their only emission is water vapour it's crazy they're not being explored more.

Oh wow, those TARDIS figures are awesome  and that does make a great figure base!

He's a BH Predacon I really want to get my hands on someday. His colourscheme makes me think of Dreadwing resurrected as a Predacon  

Oh no! Hope it passed quickly!  

...


He arrived today   that CGI Bee is weird, like he's from a show that doesn't exist. I didn't take lots of pics while playing but I'm having great fun with him ^^
I also found he has a superman back kibble mode!


Also for your consideration, overheating Teletraan 1  

It glowsss 

 

If you get a box of these know that the unnecessary plastic wrap is skintight and there's a good chance the box's holding tab doesn't work, which will see them fall on the floor just on attempted opening.

This is possibly why they're a Tesco half price Clubcard Deal.

 

"I am just a little 'Bee!" to the tune...

 

Rubbish pics I’m afraid, but just in case anyone was considering the Kapow sale Maas bumble pancakes here’s a couple of comparisons
