    Studio Series Scourge is still currently my toy of the year, as he’s made entirely of melted down pure bastard. He’s a great figure with awesome presence, and lots of detail. Totally recommended

    Stealthily. You'll get a shipping notice about a day before you get a knock on the door. They use Fed Ex or Royal Mail depending on the size of the parcel but I've never took a charge from them as they've always marked it down.

    Awesome, thanks. I'm not really feeling the Legion-class toys for Prime, which would normally be my wheelhouse, so I had a bit of a look and the APC knock-offs seemed to me the best option for someone coming in cold. I'm fancying Arcee, Cliffjumper, Megatron, and a Vehicon...

    ...but if evil Ikora has her spider-mode then she's probably going on the list too!

    Looking great. Let's say f***ing go!

    I think Siege and that's it. Stop showing me Animated toys! :)

    I guess, it's almost the same size as Motormaster's truck mode though so I think it's probably closer to classics.
    It's definitely not going to fit in well with masterpieces.

    Yes, all the robots have eyes in their vehicle screens.

    Anyone else prowling around The Entertainer, wanting to get one or two Rise of the Beast Toys since it's 20% off and the movie coming out... but they are all a bit crap, or at least too crap for the price even at 20% off. Talking about:
    Beast Weaponisers:
    Optimus Prime with Wolf chainsaw
    Optimus, turn my chest around, Primal with Tigatron Bow
    Beast Combiners:
    Optimus Primal and Alligator armour

    and the £8 Optimus Bumblebee and Rhinox.

    I just wish Wave 1 didn't always have to be just packed with Optimus's and Bumblebees and scant else.

    I might have actually gone for Weaponiser Arcee or Wheeljack. Or Battle Changer Mirage.

    These just arrived from Gundamit. Really lucked out on the Yggdrasil Sniper Squad - it was sold out and they somehow got a couple more in and put them on sale. Scored the last one for a lot less than they cost first time around!

    Just got my gamer edition wave 1 in, Optimus, Bumblebee and Barricade just need to quickly spam my thoughts:

    Optimus: Great, great heft and chonk, a great update to one of my favourite Optimus designs ever, much prefer it to the og deluxe. Definitely the star of this wave, he just feels so much better put together than the other 2.

    Bumblebee: Bot mode is great, very mess-aroundable, lovely head sculpt, and simply turning the legs around gives him some great poseability. Transformation is a little fiddly, I wouldn't call it fun, but the end result is great.

    Barricade: Barricade is definitely a robot that transforms, that has been released, and I paid for. He looks good, if a little busy, he can definitely move slightly, just not a lot. Car mode is great, very vroomable. He looks fine, he just has some weird things about him that make him eh. Including his size, I don't remember him being so big?

    Anyway, I am excited for Megatron, I am glad I got these overall as they'll look good in a glass cabinet.

    I am still selling stuff and will be selling more soon! So if you want to check out my sales thread that would be much appreciated!
