Pretty much!  

I have a couple more TR Sharkticons somewhere and Gnaw's presently in robot mode so I could increase the SWO numbers even further!

 

He was very cool about it. He knows me from chatting on Twitter so forgave me slightly more easily I hope....

 

Fun fact: I actually wrote an ebook on TF.

‎Transformers: La Caduta di Cybertron

ebook commissioned by Activision to launch Fall Of Cybertron in Italy. It was back in 2012, when I had 0 TFs left, and working on this brought me back into collecting. I am still quite fond of FOC figures.

 

Lol I like how it still isn't 100% guaranteed a prize.

 

Oh, fuck me. I received my order from C&C just now. I ordered SS86 Perceptor and BB Cliffjumper. Take a look what's in the box:



Yeaaaaaaaaah..... that's not Cliffjumper. And of course C&C now lists Cliffjumper as 'out of stock'. Words can't express how pissed I am just now. I still hope they can get me a correct replacement instead of leaving me in the lurch. Where else could I order Cliffy at this point?  

 

... you didn't want forgiveness, you sought... punishment

Nice one. Certainly a good way to be brought back into the fold. Hell of a collection you have amassed in the last 10 years dude.

 

The lack of toy news is killing me as presumably they're all waiting until around the time of what would have been Toy Fair. Or even worse, after!

That FFF really didn't help either! And with the previous Joe one it kinda felt like 'We're showing you renders because fuck knows when these are hitting stores'.

And etailers currently have the next MOTU Origins wave as June

A dice gets rolled to see which delivery company you get…..

 

I feel like this is the consensus, so most likely outcome: wait for TFN

 

Thanks to whoever mentioned earlier last week that Kingdom Blaster was still available on Amazon. Tried my luck and he arrived on Friday. Looks absolutely fantastic next to Perceptor who arrived earlier in the week. Of the 10 figures I intended to pick up this year, 7 of them have arrived this month. Gonna be a long wait for Sludge, Tarantulas and Inferno. I just hope the Preds are a better showing that Scorponok and Waspinator. Hopefully I can at some point get back home and swap out Wasp for the T30 as I feel it's a much stronger figure overall.

 

Dispatch notice for Coronation Street Starscream.

This pleases me greatly

 

WOW! You hit the jackpot, you got a rare variant which also came in a packaging variant!

 

Thanks.
It's actually at least three collections:
1) Fall Of Cybertron, to the point where I had all variants of all molds - but waiting for Planet X tired me out (2012-2015?)
2) G1, which is dominated by Titans, Headmasters and combiners (2014 - ongoing)
3) UT, which started out of repulsion for Earthrise, plus severe boredom from Covid (2020 - we'll see)

Unless Hasbro goes back to the desolation of Earthrise, there should be a real opportunity to slow down and enjoy all this amassing.

 

If it makes you feel better, I had an email from propsandreplicas saying the backlog of Origins figures should be cleared within 2-3 weeks as their EU distributor has finally got them in stock !

(I seem to remember you saying you were waiting on something from there - if not, ignore me  )

 

Thats kinda what i mean, I have no actual dislike of them, but...they make videos (and I think ben is a lovely bloke, I think I sold him a ton of stuff years ago) which you may enjoy...what the hell do they offer in the flesh?

'oh man, its bobby skullface, reenact my favourite bit from your megatron review for me please'

 

Daaaaaaamn.. more to come. Would've liked more colour breakup in the legs but honestly, I'll let it slide. This guy is beeyootiful.

 

BumbleBeeeeeautiful.

 

You're a star! I emailed them just last night, waiting on another Stridor that's attached to a Flocked Panthor... hopefully they get the new deluxes in too. And I'm waiting on some Masterverse and all!

 

I spent the weekend contemplating this one, and I have absolutely no place in the collection or need for it. But the detail… ohhh I can’t get rid of it.
