    @Xaran Alamas,
    I was never bothered about Seeker completism before but at the time Iron Factory revealed their first ones I was very burned out on traditional G1 so their take was very welcome and I've ended up getting up each one they've done so far.

    As more people have become aware of 3rd party Legends since the early releases I think IF are missing easy money by not reissuing certain characters.....I just hope they don't do it for Lord Scorpion and Combiner Hunter Arcee until after I've sold mine :D 

    @MyTea Boc,
    Cheers Brian! Pig Head's colour scheme makes him very photogenic especially on a murky day!

    I never got round to ordering that Battle For Eternia set, sorry to hear that it sounds like the dolts Mattel's in distribution department have struck again!

    If I see it anywhere else I'll let you know.

    IF Seekers were £25-30 on the initial release, depending where you got them from. I stopped getting them after the Coneheads. IMG_20230320_174141_HDR.jpg

    Did a thing, in fact, two versions. Not sure which one I prefer or if neither or them are quite right, but I need a break from it. Let me know which version you prefer.

    I am, yeah. Well remembered. Dare I ask, how much?

    Edit: £2,600. Fuck me. I could fly to the US, buy one, and fly it back for the same money.

    don’t know the chap, and I’ve no idea if that’s a good price (although my guess is not!)

    Important to remember, among g2 colour schemes Vortex is the High Chancellor. Among the FOC Combaticons, he is the best figure.

    I prefer ‘A’ by some distance. If you were to ask me why, however…

    Always loved Ravage's MTMTE design <3

    How big is Lord Scorpion? Just wondering how he'd scale with Siege figs as IDW Scorponok was not a Titan.


    Thanks.

    He gives me vague Tarn vibes.

    @Xaran Alamas,
    Lord Scorpion is roughly the same size in robot mode as some main line Deluxes ( sizes seem to change so much there really isn't an average any more ) so probably not big enough for what you're wanting.

    Like Iron Factory's Phase Sixers it's a figure I'd hoped would get some sort of OSKO but no luck so far.

    Thanks, it's taken a while and I basically finished it as a joke after I'd ended up with 3/5 of it. Didn't pay full price for any of it. I basically consider it a spiritual official Botcon boxset replacement.
