    STOP ENABLING ME ON DINOKING @Genodectes !!

    He was on my original 'wouldn't mind' list when I started collecting again but I managed to resist as it became too hard to get the bots individually. I wobbled over Monstructor for pretty much the same reason, but DAMN YOU.

    And you lot with your giant Diaclone thingy can sod off as well.

    THE ENABLING IS TOO MUCH!!!

    i look forward to pulsecon. no doubt it will be like watching a comedian you dislike get heckled by a group of neanderthals and assorted fungi.

    the ab crunch joint was completely snapped on one side, with half the peg still inside the hole.

    I used the paid shipping the first time as it was during the pandemic and I wanted it to turn up. I used the free one the second time and it took the same amount of time (couple of weeks). Well packaged, but they had opened the larger figures to put the upgrade kits inside. On the one hand, that was good to ensure the kits were protected, but on the other hand, the ko's were not sealed now. Oh, just remembered, I also got the MPM Ratchet KO from them earlier last year too. But yeah, packaging itself is always fine, the box comes in one piece and I would use TFsafari without question. They're on my good list and haven't been hit by customs yet.

    That's a hell of a magnificent looking Magnus.

    only 20 or so Black Zaraks left at the entertainer! If anyone's been deliberating, could be your last chance to get a £70 titan. (until Metroplex gets heavily discounted!)

    My biggest issue is the spoiler being one piece, I’m probably going to have him without though

    Some people recently got really stressed about Minerva and ebay. "little shit" and other important opinions.
    My feedback was: there are other problems in life.
    For example.
    The Sterling is in freefall.
    This makes it more expensive to import Minervas into the UK, and it makes easier to sell overpriced Minervas as they are now cheaper.
    Skeletor was right.

    Oof! Out of morbid curiosity I had a peek in the Breakdown thread. Wow.

    Note to self: stay in the boat

    I've had Newage figures sent from them without getting hit with any charges. But they aren't exactly large or heavy boxes.

    Some unsavoury people in that thread especially the ones that try to shut down those that have criticised this effort from Hasbro. Funnily enough it happens to be the only post they put forward with their thoughts on this version of Breakdown. They are then described as being triggered and serial complainers.

    I’m hopeful that the Breakdown we have seen isn’t the final product we will be getting.

    I placed this in that thread not long ago. If you squint it does help when looking at alt mode. ;)

    I think considering everything else that's going on right now, I won't be joining the riot about how "disappointing" Breakdown is.

    True it would have nice if some effort had been expended - at all - but hey ho, he's going to be an Calf-tag on Menasor for the rest of his plastic life so......worse things happen at sea. Allegedly.

    The Toy Shop have finally shifted their barrow and punted Zarak out the door. Just in time for Haslab to declare Galactus ready to serve so that's going to be too fucking enormous boxes arriving pretty close to each other. This may not have been a wise purchase, timing wise.

    The side-eye will be lethal.
