    I feel like I've been fobbed off a bit... I emailed Kapow to ask why my Springer still hasn't been dispatched, and I get a reply saying Hasbro UK have delayed him... despite being available on their site and other people having him for weeks... :confused:

    What’s the experience like ordering from AmJap for UK purchasers?

    Anyone interested in mmc obsidian and strika, complete and boxed for£80 each +postage? Only transformed alt to bot and back once. Had them two or three years now, they're excellent figures but when i look at them, they no longer 'spark joy' so time to move them. And well done whoever mentioned that phrase from that show. I've adopted that as criteria for what stays.

    And with a backstory like that you resisted the temptation to call him 'Klinger',

    Just me?

    I'm too old...I know....

    In other news, my fear overtook me and I buckled like a loose belt and ordered the JB Devy upgrade,
    I don't really want much of it at the moment (where he stands if he was any bigger not sure he would fit, the drill things are just weird and I don't mind the standard head),
    but what if I want it later and it disappears like all upgrade kits do?
    Imagine the horror!

    Laters.

    Hope you and the wife are feeling better dude!

    He definitely walks about your home at night while you sleep. He watches you sleep.

    Lovely stuff!

    That gap is a little glarring, but can't say it's putting me off too much.

    Amazing. What a figure! Brainstorm still remains my favourite Headmaster.

    Ok so I definitely want MPM Jazz, but do I buy the HasTak version, which does look great but may have QC issues, or do I wait for the KO which, if the Optimus is anything to go by, going to be even better and cheaper?

    There's a fella called Markatron on the boards who will snap up Titanika from you in a heartbeat.

    Nah, gotta disagree there. I’m not nostalgic for Nautilator’s back kibble and tucking it all into his robot legs is much neater. He does look a bit too similar to Rippersnapper and Blot, but it’s a good look.

    But you’re right in that the lack of availability is utterly frustrating. I don’t have the other two preordered either. Do we have a Hasbro Online shop here? Nope. Can we reliably but from other online retailers without preordering? Nope. Do they want our money? ...probably not, no.

    Yeah, no idea what you’re referencing. Soz.


    Oh yeah guys, in other news I took my first antidepressant today. High as a fucking kite over here. Touch me, I’m all buzz.

    I'm told I won't know for about three weeks, as it takes that long to show its effects. And this isn't exactly heavy duty stuff, just a £9 prescription of Sertraline.

    Seacons look nice so far. Will I be getting them, no. Why I hear no one say:

    1) For remolds they are expensive, nice looking but expensive. Baring in mind that the Terrorcons were extensive remolds of previous figures, but were available for the same/similar price as the 'original' figure.
    2) The clutch went on the wife's car so TF budget is slashed :( 
    3) They'd be bloody hard to get!

    I’ve never seen a post which embodies the late night, blanket-over shoulders-like-a cape, hunched-over-computer-at-1am-mood is well. This is the forum as a whole, formatted directly into single post.

    Good post.

    Something just occurred to me regarding the Seacons actually. Are Hasbro selling them as well, or just Takara? If the latter, does that leave the door open for Hasbro to sell them at Hasbro prices later on? Possibly a box set? Or am I talking bollocks?
