    0h he does look great. Is that ss44 with the Jetfire ab piece in the pics? I'm glad he doesn't have the classic stripe, he's movie. He's meant to be silver chrome with blue along the top and bottom. I can paint that. Shouldn't have to at leader price. But that non rolling wheel is unforgivable. How does the trailer roll with that? Is there extra spaces for weapons on the ring or only what he came with?

    I might be interested after payday, shoot me a PM.

    Edit: got my posts deleted by the fuzz. Guess we shouldn't be discussing that stuff here.

    How '84/5 looked in my head is how we are now getting the Plastic............ IMG_20190812_184937.jpg


    For all the downers we've had recently T'Cracker turning up has been a real tonic for the Troops. Loving the Line up.

    Please make AmazonWarp relatively painless so the picture can be complete soon.

    @Seeaich: great work with the screens, that’s dedication to the cause right there!

    @Rotorstorm: as others have said, great work with your Thunderclash custom. Bravo sir!

    @Avon: loving the visual shopping list!

    We really are a talented bunch in the uk thread, aren’t we? (See what I did there; bundle myself in with talented people when I have no talent whatsoever) ;) 

    Thanks to all those for belated birthday wishes as well. SS dropkick just arrived courtesy of ID toys, it’s a little late for my actual b’day but better late than never...

    A huge UK thread shout out goes to @Hubcap

    This guy has gone out of his way to do me a favour when he didn’t have to.

    Legend and I can’t thank him enough.


    Normal posting can resume :)

    Maaaan, I must be off my game! Totally missed the ID Seacons preorder!

    At least tfs-express still has them up, order placed (and funds removed from TFN budget)!

    Much as I might want the Lobster-Squad I don't want them at those prices. I think I'm out.

    Cheers, Andy, I'm well chuffed with Comms now but don't encourage me, yeah? I got it bad enough already! ;)  Enjoy your carbon-based lifeform liquefying muscle car bastard!

    See that particular gulf of time between now and the Seacons release, with a potential specific event occurring between has me holding off on the scaly buggers, @Art Vandelay, like the fabulous Wave 5 Imma wait and see how the land lies at that time. I'll get 'em if it's meant to be!
    Good call, I shall also be scrubbing. :thumb

    Whoops, nearly missed your birthday @Braddock! Consider yourself wished many happy returns of the day! Hope you are having a good ‘un?!

    Edit: on the subject of birthdays, (without wanting to turn my well wishes for Braddock back to ME but I am
    seemingly going to anyhow!) as another birthday gift, my father-in-law bought and fitted a shelf to the picture rail in my mancave, which I had been threatening to do myself but quite frankly, as per my previous post, I am a man of few talents and diy is not amongst them so I am pleased he took it on himself.

    Before:

    A bit later still:

    New improved room, now with extra shelf featuring Studio Series Transformers!

    Does anyone have that third party G1 head for FOC Grimlock going spare? Long shot, I know.

    I think it was made by ArtTek.

    Sup chaps, I've just added a link in my sig to my Transformers photo blog. Basically simple pics taken in my lightbox, with some comments from me underneath about the figure. I'll be adding more pics of bot or alt modes to existing posts, and new posts soon once I've taken more pics. Cheers!
