    Welp…just ordered SS86 Perceptor…that’s what being locked in a house full of covid will do for ya. Once blaster arrived I fully intend to rein-act “no way two can play”

    Someone who is very good at pushing pins could make an absolutely worldy Cliffjumper from these two. That fully painted car shell of Earthrise with all the colour breakup of the Buzzworthy version..? Fucking gimme.

    As it stands, side by side both do a great job of highlighting where the other falls short.

    Only thing I miss about the new one is the black grill being unpainted, other than that super happy with mine. I can fix that myself though.

    I always kind of assumed there would be a hatch built in. Considering where the human/ nebulen's arse is in combined bot mode, very possible to have headmasters talking shit.


    Good news for moi, IDT sent dispatch for Blaster in the dying embers of the day, so good to know it Indiana Jones'ed it's way out their door.

    Hopeful for Monday/Tuesday delivery.

    Out of curiosity, how do you go about that? Can’t take a decent picture without it still looking like there’s no life in them

    Either by overexposing the eye and changing the vibrance and saturation levels when adjusting it in post, or with a glow effect in PicsArt or other such app.

    Golden enablement star to Chris!
    28 days without ordering plastic, 3 days to go to make a month. More than £20 less than I paid elsewhere, and with stock to ship. A man can only hold out so long.

    Right... flood gates are open, off to order diahide and some SFII TF guys!

    Speaking of enablement....

    Look at the size of that thing!” thought Luke when the ship he was chasing turned into a giant droid and tried to saw his X-wing in half.

    I believe they shat the bed when it came to getting Kingdom Rodimus in stock (like several months after everyone else), but they seem to have Galvatron in stock at the moment - so hopefully no nonsense.

    I've used them before with no issues.

    very unlike sonner to be early with anything!

    Sonner are useless with preorders for sure. we all kinda assume theyre ok with stuff in stock, but its more a case of surely they cant be THAT bad?!?

    the few orders they have actually sent me have been well packaged i suppose.

    I was just considering the differences in the sculpts. Definite character in that face.

    I’m still either waiting on Rodimus from them or a refund. Refund requested but not acknowledged
