Welcome back to the Third Place

Spoiler

 

How had I never heard of John Miles until now  

Oh, and I'm definitely getting old because this isn't what I normally listen to at all lmao.

 

I have my Omnibots on pre-order through Omegalock. Does anyone know of a UK reseller who is stocking the racing livery repaints?

 

Beachcomber just needs a bendy aerial and a control box for another bot to operate!  

Of their other non samurai figures that're upcoming I also really like Huffer as it brings a considerable amount of chunk and makes the truck mode look like it was designed by Tonka.

The 2nd run of Newage Bumblebee & Cliffjumper are now showing as "Incoming" on Show Z Store so they might ship this month. Looking forward to seeing how tiny they are in person and the alt modes look adorable, the use of magnets for Cliffjumper's skis is a great little touch!

EDIT,
I don't normally buy statues but,
Loki Alligator Loki 1/10 Art Scale Limited Edition Statue - Iron Studios (marvelousnews.com)

 

What size tyres does he use? I may have a few spares but I would need to check.

 

Ignoring the (quite right) 'Some sorta pervert!' reactions, this is a decent look at a 1991 TRU in America. The Barbie and TMNT aisles are nuts.

 

Man a dodgy tooth finally coming out ends up being so damn satisfying. So good to be done with it. Hope it clears up your sinus stuff too.

Oh look another Ironhide leak!  

He, he really is!

That's smart, and it's amazing that he got to see pictures and know that he'd lived to become a great grandparent. Thoughts are with you and the family brother.

 

Sorry to read this Jon. Take care.

That wouldn't even touch the sides!

 

I spotted the old WWF Wrestling Buddies on that!

The videogame section also reminded me of the one in the Derby branch where I got my NES from which I always remember because it was the weekend the first Gulf War started  

I got the first Turtles game packed in with it and if I remember rightly, Super Mario Bros 2 was the other game I picked out.

Other games I really liked on the NES were,

Tecmo World Wrestling
Blades of Steel
Snake, Rattle 'N Roll
Super Mario 3, which is very likely where my fascination with raccoon based pop culture began.

 

I can't see it being more than a end scene cameo type thingy in the final episode, the main villain is someone else. And if it si that, I'm sure the scene will pop up on youtube so you could just watch it there.

He would work. For wrestlers, I don't know if he was 80's or 90's, but I'd say Big Show. He has the height, the mass, the intimidation factor. He'd make a pretty convincing Fisk.


My Netflix Soundwave has turned up today. He's a lovely figure. Gonna enjoy cracking him open when I get some time. And Seige Soundwave can get his backpack put back on and get painted black, going on the headmasters shelf. Soundblaster is a Planet Master/Nebulos walkman, that's why he has the extra gubbins and sci fi look to his alt mode.

 

If the reveal was a single scene then I'd be fine watching it on YouTube.

The live action version of Hawkeye is so bland I couldn't watch an entire episode because Jeremy Renner always looks and sounds like he's dead behind the eyes. If he's mauled to death by the pizza dog at some point I'd perhaps reconsider.

I read Old Man Logan a couple of years ago and Hawkeye was amazing in that. Old, blind, still deadly with his bow and bantering with the suitably grumpy Logan as they drove across the Nevada desert in a Spider Buggy whilst avoiding dinosaurs that Kingpin (ruler of Las Vegas in that story) had imported from the Savage Land. That Hawkeye was FUN!

I got Netflix Soundwave as an unexpected gift earlier this year and think he's pretty good so glad you like him!

Big Show would work as Kingpin, particularly since his hair fell out  

 

Not a UK seller, but I've put a deposit down with Show-Z for all three of the racing livery versions - they don't seem to have any problems slipping robots through customs unseen.

 

Utterly adoring my new addition. Has just become my new favourite bot. Pics and videos I checked out before buying him fell short of doing it justice but a looooong way. I’m genuinely (and very pleasantly) surprised how much wow factor I got when I got him suited and booted.

i knew I’d like him but wasn’t prepared to be this smitten.
I could see myself grabbing a few versions of this guy as funds permit!

 

Just read the Legacy Stunticon rumours. If this is the way forward...I'm good to buy the whole team. Rid 2015 Motormaster aside, the rest sound like really nifty callbacks to so many iterations they've received over the years, they sound very fresh.

Probably a minority on this but these news got me somewhat excited for Legacy.

 

Got a lot of love for WFC but I still think that Deluxes TR were my TF peak.

 

How about a repaint/remold of Universe Onslaught as a classics style Maccadam?

 

They're the only place I've seen them listed too. Bit more than I would wish to pay but, eh, the games rigged but its the only game in town.

 

IDT have posted on Facebook that SS Brawn, Ratchet, Wheeljack and Soundwave will be going up for pre-order Tuesday at 6pm.

And Kapow have restocks of a bunch of Selects figures including Roritchi, Sandstorm, Tigertrack, dead Prime and G2 Megs. Plus Transmutate on sale for those who want to add some extra colour to their Fossilizer gestalts.

 

You forgot God Neptune too!

Turn's out this is indeed Frank Todaro, the voice of WFC 'Screamer, and he's so much better at it than the Netflix/Rooster Teeth crap let him be - which makes me even madder at WFC for not giving him the material to go Full Starscream in WFC...and...rather...talk...in...the...usual...stilted...dull...gravitas.

 

anyone have any idea why amazon sometimes allow you to order something that most likely isnt gonna come back in stock?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRANSFORME...19159031&rnid=419157031&rps=1&s=kids&sr=1-209

In the last few months ive placed speculative orders on ER Megs, Hound, Sideswipe, Springer, Refraktor and Nemi Prime. Meg was actually delivered after a month or so, Nemi was supposedly shipped but never turned up, and any others are just cancelled or still standing. Any logic or point to this?
