    I would be tempted by Selects galvatron, but knowing the paint chipping issue transforming, the dodgy coloured head crest and the fact I have 2 of this figure already, I think that’s just a step too far… but it was tempting!

    I can’t I see that and now I’ll have to buy one…

    Genuinely had something posted to me on the 6th of Jan and arrive on the 25th….marked as RM48. It was from a reputable seller I’d used before so I wasn’t too worried. No idea if the hold up was at their end or mine, sadly some areas of the country are better than others….!

    I've used them once before for a couple of Pop figures and they were fine.

    From some of the stories I've read on here, the issue lies with items which you have to pre-order. In stock items seem to be OK.

    Have you considered the xbox all access plan to get your series x? I think it's £28 pm and covers 2 years of gamepass too, also had Cliffjumper arrive today and realised I've never owned a Cliffjumper before, this fixes that, Perceptor and Blaster incoming :)

    Not good. Here's hoping I haven't just fusion cannon'ed myself in the foot ordering galvy from them and cancelling elsewhere.

    Whell, only two left now. Sorry Kapow, but this was far too good to pass on.

    Of course now I’ve ordered one, Kapow will get their stock in, won’t they. Law of the sod.

    I am sooo tempted by Galvy, but I'd like to wait till I have my budget for February sorted out and I don't think it'll last that long.

    Cheers, that's what I was thinking. Its more like second class post. The tracking is kind of pointless too. It just tells me it's been sent and they'll let me know when it's delivered!

    I'm just being impatient, I did get another parcel today. Jeff MacRoss is no Autobot Bus

    Just checking in again regarding Kapow shipping Pipes and Slammer? Have both on pre-order and not had a peep from them this week despite seeing a few folks getting their shipping notifications.

    If in stock you should be fine.

    If I was being kept in the loop for when they expect in stock then I wouldn’t mind so much, even if it was a case of “we can’t refund but can move the cash elsewhere to other orders” I wouldn’t have a problem, but I was thinking in June I may have the figure that was at retail everywhere else 7 months later

    Epic!


    ER/Kingdom Arcee - I know many of you lot don't like her, but to my eye she's still the most screen accurate Arcee toy. To the point where I bought a second one for my Headmasters display. Thing is, my daughter's a huge fan of that toy and always nabs the one from the movie display.

    She last took it a few weeks ago and I've not seen it since.

    Fine, I see Arcee going for a tenner at Smyths and by a third one. Thing is, it arrived the same time as a toy for my son - my daughters didn't arrive and to stop the inevitable fight / tears I came up with a great idea of saying Arcee was for her. She can have her own, I can have mine back, all sorted.

    Today my daughter admits, she's completely lost mine and having looked all over the house it really is lost.

    Am I really about to buy a fourth ER Arcee?

    Also you know the moment I do, they'll release a more screen accurate one in studio series 86 or Buzzworthy or something? So y'know, get ready that.

    Toynewsi.com has the new Classified Baroness BTW, and MOTU movie news (it's going to Netflix FFS).

    Good pic, personally I love that mould and think ER Arcee is fab. Best CHUGscale one IMHO, although I do enjoy the Cyberverse Deluxe and her Yog Sothoth-worshipping Beast Hunters namesake. :D 

    (The MakeToys one snapped like a dry bone in a Rancor's mouth, and the CW one is cool and all (and the repaint is cooler) but the ER one still does it all better. Core Arcee when? The Bikeformer trio don't count, though if anyone should have been Core class it's deffo them!)

    PS - Energon Arcee is awesome, but a wee bit too short. And the MMC one is horrible to transform.

    PPS - I passed up on TR Arcee on IDT's stall at a London comics show and never saw one at a reasonable price ever again. So it goes...
