    I've been honest. I could live without Andy stocking third party stuff. 99% fails to interest me in the slightest and the remaining 1% tends to be too expensive for me. Nearest I've got to buying a third party figure has been Quakewave and Hexatron and both have been pushed aside so I could buy official MPs. Couldn't care less for any of the 3rd party combiners that have been or are coming. None hit an aesthetic that truly captures what I'd want.

    One day I'll own a Quakewave. That much I'll say.

    I'll definitely be sending some pennies your way good sir.

    Got a few figures reserved with yourself but if you're bringing Metroplexes then I may just crumble once I see the big fella in person.

    Eggshellent, thanks mate.

    So that's Generations Orion Pax, Megatron, Sandstorm and Metroplex taken care of with Kapow.

    Tesco have the deluxe and voyager predacons back in stock.

    MP Soundwave is due by the end of the month.

    After this one big splurge I think I'm done for the year.

    Cool.

    I think I would be happy if Andy kept Maketoys, mmc and fansproject. At the minute I try to keep all my orders there due to the price and after sales service.

    I too have fallen prey to hot toys shiny stark filled crack.

    Andy, don't blame you for wanting some of the dross out of your life but how are you going to decide what to order?
    Even going by popular opinion can't be guaranteed as opinions are frequently changed by the time the things come out. Case in point, the ridiculous number of predakings being pushed at the mo.

    I've just seen over in the third party forum that fp will apparently be doing their own computron thus computing
    With their own partners/friends/factory users/whatever.

    Seems nuts to me.
