    Pfft. As if I'd accept pristine. Lol

    Just for a laugh... My dad ordered a sofa years ago. The big metal lorry latch had put a hole clean through an upper part so I told my dad. The driver asked could he not just put a cushion over it :lol

    Ahhh, well the plot does thicken.... Given I just splashed out on Dark Energon Prime Wheeljack, I wouldn't be surprized if it's a Slicer coloured Wheeljack with a random battle-lad.

    But Rack 'N Ruin would be cool. Still on the look out for the Cyberverse one myself.

    Yeah, must admit, I can't believe people are complaining toys are getting delayed because of a literal global pandemic. Get some perspective folks. And all this panic buying is a bit crazy too. Times like this I'm reminded of a quote from the first men in black movie that I've always liked. A person is smart. People are dumb.

    I've been complaining about the deluxes but I assumed that was a standard Hasbro UK not knowing arse from elbow based delay.

    Everyone gets impatient waiting for stuff and regular delays are annoying, there just seems to be a lack of perspective from some folk, this is a very serious situation and all these figures are made in that part of the world so if you put two and two together...….

    Supermarkets are loving this crisis, I wonder about people stockpiling beans though as that's a recipe for getting through all the bog roll a bit quick! :D

    That lad's from Leeds. As a city we're obviously immensely proud. Choice quotes from the newspaper.
    His Mother said "It's hard to discipline him when his Dad called to say he was a legend". He plans to spend the £9 he made to buy a kebab, she added.

    Covid-19 and Higher Education; what a party! Talk of moving all teaching online. Because the University of Leeds has done such a great job in investing in the infrastructure required for online learning.

    Years ago I received GPS sufferer extraordinaire Beast Wars Magnaboss in a jiffy bag.

    It was like opening a big sachet of Bisto.

    Yes, as recent experience has shown even without a global pandemic Hasbro are quite at home to Mister Distribution Cock-Up, the possibility that they've decided to kick off with a major cock up with the first wave instead of waiting for the second this time seems a definite likelihood no COVID-19 required (seeing as they've gotten the Leaders & Voyagers out), though I tend to give Hasbro UK a bit of slack as I've realised they are at the mercy of the whims of Hasbro central themselves.
    I can't "Like", that's shitbaggery of the highest order, what a prannock!

    Bisto-bots. Partsforming in the extreme.

    Did not know that Magnaboss was a GPS victim. Mine seems to have held up quite well.

    Speaking of GPS, I have to say for all his sexiness, I am a tad worried that ER Prime's legs might be a future GPS risk.

    Oh regarding the deluxes, it's worth noting that Toybox Soapbox has received 3 of them from Kapow for photos so they are coming, soon, ish.

    Unfortunatly... No. It's not even on the Snes mini ( one of the very few unfortunate miss). Unless you've got a Snes or eventually a DS and you're willing to get a cart of the game, you can go emulation or... Steam. After a disastrous launch Squarenix apparently fixed most of the issues and seems to be actually quite good right now.

    Nown what we need is a port of Chrono Cross. Come on.

    I'm laughing at tech sites claiming people are dying to know more about the PS5, hyped AF for it, and then trying to start a console war a few decades late. Clickbait twats.

    Speaking of sites, and thankfully at a different one to mine, some genius apparently came in coughing and spluttering. Guess where they're just back from... "I'd punch you in the face if it wasn't such a risk!"

    Rabbit Raider number 3 and a 1:12 scale chainsaw arrived in the post!
    [​IMG]Gang by Brendan Mitchell, on Flickr

    The chainsaw was very fiddly to get into the Rabbit Raider's hands due to them having the sort of articulation that's actually a bit useless for gripping accessories tightly but I got there in the end.

    Whilst they're still available for £13 shipped I'm very tempted to get another Rabbit Raider so I can display 2 each side of White Rabbit and I would also like a suitably scaled Lewis Carroll book to go in the basket on the scooter as White Rabbit's persona originated from a love of his writing.

    PS5 = Main areas of intrest are,

    1.Are PS4 games compatible and will they all look like PS4 Pro games on PS5?

    2.Will Spiderman 2 be a launch title or will it be later?

    3.Any chance of a new story based Star Wars game that doesn't have a bland white protagonist trying to be a Jedi....who am I kidding, this won't happen :D

    Wasn’t this the transformation sequence used in Age of Extinction?? :lol 

    Found these while trying to sort the spare room. Ah, happy memories.

    The movie, key to vector sigma, and Megatron’s master plan particularly pulled at the nostalgic heart strings.
