    Woot! Tarn finally in the house! I've had some shit unboxings lately with qc issues, but Tarn makes up for it. What an absolute treat.

    Evo-Fusion is off the fucking chain insane.

    MASK offered some diversity, but not always in the most sensitive way. Ali bombay and nevada Rushmore being the ones I remember. But... they tried?

    I love it when the Hasbro Pulse sale comes along and gives us a rare opportunity to buy a product for the price it should have been in the first place!

    I'm with him, a decent Alpha Trion figure would be grand no matter the source. Bonus points if it has an A3 head and you can remove the cape.
    Not sure what I like more, the dedication to Shrapnel's vocal affectation, or Bombburst riding Magnificus! :) 
    Haha that really 'stood' out for me, I guess the less said the better :confused: 
    Thanks for the reminder, need to grab a Guinness or two before this evening.
    Happy St Patricks everyone :D

    Crashbar, prowl and Shrapnel arrived yesterday. Only got this guy open. Love him even if trying to transform him sans instructions has stumped me!

    Spring arm and wheel arch repaints? Aye go on sure

    This still means war! This is the internet!

    You can't just burst in here with your Frog Monger out...
    ...

    I've still got some bots I wanna shift - Sky Lynx, Sparkless Bot and X-Spanse. Could probably be persuaded to let go of an Ultra Magnus. Oh, and these, PM me.

    Siege Ultra Magnum-wise, is this grey tab here supposed to go into the slot on the folding ‘H’? It looks like it should, but it won’t…

    B6BDC56B-4503-4158-A2BD-06C139C24A77.jpeg

    Apart from this hiccup the transformation is pretty much idiot-proof, as evidenced by the fact I managed it. That backpack’s clever, isn’t it? And he’s a surprisingly handsome boy…

    Oh for fuck’s sake. It’s way beyond a joke.

    They're really taking their time with fulfilling orders huh :oops: 

    I've always had good luck with Creations, but it seems like a crock of shit for everyone else.

    End of the month before they even ship the next batch :( . Useless company.

    I have people who can not only carry a large drum for miles while beating it they do so having been sloshed from the night before... you'll know them by their red faces!

    By the end of it, from 23 figures surprisingly only one weaponiser was has bits unaccounted for …and he has a whole bunch of bits unaccounted for which makes me think they’re all lying in a pile somewhere

    anyway I got bored, here’s tarn leading the charge against the extra dimensional invaders

    Hmm, we are all our selves and like our own thingies (oo-er) but the sizes on these 4 fellas really seems to be a right hodge-podge.

    As a robot figure I can really see the appeal in these fellas, its as all the (very clever) transport modes they lose me.

    Yeah I am starting to agree with you, I'd hassle you to get me one too but I think Jazz is still a one-per deal, no?

    Plantar fasciitis will go in time, although its anything up to a year and a half, I have had it a few times, so there is a good end in sight eventually.

    In other news, even I am surprised what my mind links to when I, for instance, decide that Core Ratchet will probably leave the house (nice bot, just can't find a space for the alt mode's weird size), but his pew-pews are definitely staying.....for...reasons....
