    Cheers!
    And now I feel a lot better about punting for Mr. Hobby sky blue on me SS86 Jazz!

    Ironically the stock visor app was TOO cool for Jazz, the wrong kinda cool, that is!

    Just looking over my Metalhawk while lamenting the lack of IDWesque add-on kits for his ludicrously impractical arm-swords, and there is actually a small slot, moulded inside a larger wedge-shaped slot, that might just support such a thing:

    Gold star to whichever HasTak designer put that in!

    So the wait for a kit goes on. Never did pick up the 3D printer I was considering last year (that money went on energy bills; I carried on collecting TFs, but couldn't do that and get the printer!) Otherwise I'd run some off myself.

    Last two CNY purchases that were in the air turned up yesterday - fuck knows when Leader Of Stars will ship. Managed to roughly transform both of them by remembering what I'd seen in videos but I need to go back and watch the Doubledealer birb mode and Terrorsaur in general ones again as they weren't quite holding together so well in those modes.

    Seems to be MUCH easier to go from Doubledealer's truck mode to birb mode, rather than from robot mode to birb, due to the way his legs and feet fold. Terrorsaur, though, feels like he needs to be heavily messaged and tweaked into Pterodactyl mode as there's a lot to line up.

    A Hero is Born set is due tomorrow as well! :D

    Titans Return Overlord maybe? (I know he's leader). Maybe the old generations deluxe Thunderwing and Blackshadow (sky shadow).

    i mean Kingdom/Legacy Blaster scales with legends if you're thinking about G1 toy scale.
    Galaxy Shuttle perhaps?
    The ER micromaster bases might go well with legends/core?

    I saw Markclonus post something similar so it had to be done.

    Always wear safety goggles when posing robbits.

    Yep, beat me to it.

    Same energy!

    What about grabbing some of the POTP Dinobots? It all depends on your personal scale yearnings, of course, but I like my Dinos to out-hulk my carbots by a considerable margin. I like the dinos to be all different sizes too but that's just a problem I have :D

    Multiple emails from HasbroPulse confirming The Hero is Born set, Shrapnel and Crashbar have all left the building.

    I cancelled the Amazon PO for Shrapnel as HP were quicker to release. Amazon had Shrapnel’s scheduled delivery as this Saturday.

    I just have the re-order Of Transmetal 2 Megs for Jspace still in limbo and Core Sludge for me to go. No more TF POs in play with Amazon.

    Origins Jazz, Crashbar, Shrapnel, Crosscut and core Ironhide are all now on the way.

    Throw in the Cobra Vipers three pack and Micro Galaxy Squadron LAAT that are also on the way and this week just got expensive. :eek:

    I've been using a notepad document to keep track of this month's purchases, for the ease of AoA-ing.

    My collecting habits are ridiculous.

    I just use the Kingdom one for my standing-unassisted needs.
