    No worries! Very nice surprise to have him so early, if anyone wants to see anything else I’d be happy to oblige.

    I just saw that the Super 7 wave 3 Thundercats are in stock at Kapow, does anyone know if these have somehow come about before Wave 2,more has Wave 2 come and gone. Had paid deposits on Wave 2 and I've never had any PayPal invoice from Kapow.

    I don't want to bother them with emails if it's just a weird timing thing, but if they've been and gone I need to get on it.

    No, Wave 2 is still listed as February with BBTS but they've got Wave 3 in stock. I know that Super 7 have previously been messed about by whoever the parent company is (Warner Bros or am I getting mixed up?) on how a weapon looks and if it should be included, for instance.

    :lol  Just the other day I was thinking it'd be a fun custom/crossover type idea to redeco various BW/Kingdom figures to match the colourscheme of Rangers and their Zords. Probably with robot mode head swap too :D  Specifically I was thinking White Ranger deco of Tigatron. :D 

    Edit: Basically a similar idea to those TMNT/Power Ranger figures they're doing with the Turtles dressed as various Power Rangers characters.

    Thanks, that helps. Because I've never had Wave 2 I've never thought to bother preordering Wave 3, but have other demands on funds at the moment so I'll have to hope they don't disappear.

    Yeah, I still have my Armada original Megatron but a Galvatron would be well bought by me.

    same with Optimus really, I only had the powerlinx repaint and that rocked the original toy far more than the traditional Optimus colours so hope for the same treatment

    MPM Starscream is £45 on sports direct. Madness.

    Also, pearly white pussycat in the house. Looks grand.

    Liking tiny BB Shockwave. Serious Prime vibes from the alt mode. Now do a bigger one Hasbro.

    Worlds Collide has landed in England! Hopefully that's something to look forward to next week.

    Replacement Terrorsaur just arrived and... eh... I'm glad they let me keep the headless one, so I can so some part swapping to get one good one. VERY loose joints on this for the feet, head and wings, though I knew to expect the wings. And is it just me or did they do the same as with Ironhide and use a couple of different shades of red on this?

    Meanwhile Bingotoys Wave Man arrived yesterday and is blummin brilliant (so it means I've now got Monocrat Megatank preordered to go with him... and I'm trying not to be tempted by anything else...)
    Otherwise, I've been having fun with the 2 Zeta trains and XTB Janssen. Can't really fault any of them other than I'd perhaps like a little less metal on Janssen so there was a little more give for transformation, but I guess people generally prefer the 'premium' feel of it.

    I popped into my local Smyths earlier, and they've had yet another shelf shuffle. LOADS of Galvatron and Gnaw, 6 each of the Ark and Rodimus and just a smattering of others, but nothing of interest really. Just waiting on Rodimus and the Ark to drop a bit more (they've only sold 2 Rodimus and no Arks in the last month, so can't be long now, fingers crossed...)
    MOTU is pretty packed, if you want Revelations Skeletor, Origins Skeletor, or CGI Series Skeletor, and a couple of others from the CGI series.

    Never really considered until now how incompatible with human physiology those exo suits are.

    Still, bought. Looks like fun. Looks like Mask figure and T-Bob stepped into a Brundle teleporter together.

    All I can think is that it's basically got a human power master Optimus Prime deal going on - you scrunch yourself up into the chest and control it with mechmagic of some sort

    My package with Newage Beachcomber has left Slough so an arrival of early next week seems likely :) 

    Got MFT Omega Supreme out to compare scales with Magic Square Devastator and they work pretty well so I'll attempt some pics over the weekend.

    @MyTea Boc,
    Fair point, I've seen far scarier sights walking round town so I shouldn't be too inhibited with my devilish attire :D
