Haha! Nice!

I've got an unopened pack of those in my desk drawer at home that makes me snigger everytime I see them  

 

Am currently attempting the Siege Ultra Magnus leg extension mod, but I think I fudged the left leg a lil (i filed a hole about 1/2mm too big); hopefully a bit of gorilla glue with fill the gap - but I can still put UM in his usual leader-class form either way..

Hopefully they may have some general stock available soon; wishing I had pre-ordered this guy! doh!

 

If I'm not mistaken, @Soundwavelover2004 lives in Canada, so $50 is around £30.

 

Guys do TF-Direct ship from China? Just trying to work out if its quicker to go with them or ebay?

Unless someone here has a Dr Wu M06 TLK Hound upgrade kit they dont want?

 

Hmmm.

So... What does spunk taste like? (I assume it is some kind of chewing gum?)

I believe they do. typically they deliver in a timely enough manner and usually avoid the custom thrashing.

 

Never opened mine, @Maz will have to be the authority on the taste of spunk

 

You betcha by Golly Wow it is!
That "most likely to be illegible "Club Con" transmission intercept? Turns out what you gotta do is print out direct from Illustrator, not fart about turning it into a PNG!
Then you get:

Holey Moley! The wee "Club Con" logo I put in is legible!?!
And there's a nice 80s monitor fuzz to the "Box Set Menu"s and Leaving Cybertron to boot!


Yeeeeeeeessssss! A rather chuffing way to start the week! Especially as I have measured 'em correctly to boot!


EDIT:
Big announcement from Kapow on FB:

Reposting it here in full FYI. Fings crossed taking this hard road pays off for developing the UK market (one suspects preventing that Thing-wot-will-murder-disposable-income-in-the-UK will be a necessary part to that success)!

 

It’s great to get recognition for how fabulous my ancestors actually were!

Speaking of TLK, I enjoyed it too. Liked that and AoE better than the preceding movies. A realistic (+magic and ladies in ponds) Arthurian period Transformers movie would be awesome. That needs to be made at least a fanfiction/comic.

 

The truth doesn't always hurt!   They might've been a-murderin', a-pillaging and a-theotherthingpeoplesaystraightafter"pillagin'"withoutthinking but, dayum, they looked gooood while they did it!

 

So it seems that Kapow is competing on price, leaving behind its competitive advantage in having products "the moment they became available".
This will restrain their business a lot.

Assuming one leaves Kapow behind ("in the nicest possible way"), what is the UK alternative for third party TFs?

 

I remembered he lives in canada, but forgot about an exchange rate. Lol. Too used to it being 1:1.

 

Now delayed again

 

So Hasbro US really IS to blame for all of this?

DAMN YOU HASBLOW (US NOT UK)

 

What about BBTS? They have it a for a few dollars more but it comes with an bonus cigar and dogtags

 

It's salted liquorice, which is of course hugely popular in this part of the world.

All the best

Pretty much, not sure why they are doing it. But our distribution seems to have been aligned with the Takara release dates

 

Absolute *Swoon*

 

Jibes with my more recent suspicions that ultimately it's the Big 'Bro making the allocation of stock decisions, hence the buck more likely stops with them. Perhaps a bit of the old 'x' figure is doing great business in [Bigger Market than the UK] we'll reassign extra stock that was due for [UK or A.N. Other smaller market] to cover that demand. They're a corporation, they'll always have their eyes on the biggest prizes.

 

Dlx are 30 voyagers 39 leaders 69 pretty expensive also why 50 is the online prices I found

 

@Maz what's a spunk
