As someone who’s completely lost track, any idea on earthrise release dates? Amazon says august for trail breaker and sunstreaker - that’s not right is it?

 

Sent!

 

These guys have him for £19.99 before postage, but I've never tried them. They've got good stock of everything though

Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege Deluxe Class BARRICADE

 

Well lads, I’m happy to say I found a shop down south in the Republic that had ONE barricade left! I payed for half of it over email and will collect it tomorrow.

@joetele i recognise them, they’re legit! I won’t need to order it now, but thanks for checking. they deliver pretty quick from my experience, in case you need anything.

 

They are a subsidiary of another company that is registered on companies house. Looks legit.

£3.99 for postage.

I’d still go with Amazon all in for £24.99.

 

MEGATRON FANBOYS ASSEMBLE!

 

Oooh, every now and then I remember how nice Animated Shockwave is, prior to shaking my fist at skies above when I also remember how hard it is to find nowadays XD

 

Been digging out in the stowed-for-sale TF box to pull out the NuRID Mini-Cons and see if any of the ball missile types I have could sub as extra Unicron moons, seeing as extra Dead Ends are like Rocking Horse sh*t (or come with a rather expensive and redundant accessory), and sadly the answer is, "No."
If only Hasbro had seen fit to chuck at least a 5mm port on 'em for backwards compatibility, eh?
Not a total loss though as I realised TRICERASHOT can easily, and cheekily squeeze, into the Battlemaster bracket!

Just a bit of metal black finishing app on his underpainted horns and he's good to go (BANG!)!

Thought I'd dig this chap out so he can wield the right gun at least once in his life.


And @Loosecannon are you still after some none wonky-footed TAV-32 Frumbles? I'd forgotten about my pair of pristine punks down there, well, pristine apart from one of Frenzy's (the blue one) cannons cracked and split around the balljoint, since repaired and repainted, but given that lack of total pristinity I'd only ask £33 posted, if that tempts you?

 

Managed to get my camera working just long enough for a couple of pics,

Of all the generic car modes that modern era Transformers have this is my favourite, the compatibility with Iron Factory weapons is the icing on the cake!

Wild Child by Brendan Mitchell, on Flickr

Wild Child was never going to be my favourite figure of the wave but if I didn't get him now the prices would go through the roof if Hasbro announce AOA Sabertooth and as it turns out he's quite nice.

I have been looking at options for a new camera and it looks like I can get one for about £60 so I'll see what cash I get for my birthday.

 

Hey, if you want some of the RiD cyclones I could hook you up with some for a reasonable price. they're the ones from the multipack.

 

No thanks, bud, the Cyclones from the Multipack are what I have, and as they lack the 5mm or proper Mini-Con port to stick 'em on Unicron's ring pegs they are of no use to me. Thanks for offering though.

 

G1 Takara Convoy- Jafcon/Black version

 

Wonder when Scorponok is dropping since Sky Lynx came earlier than Wave 2. I hope it’s soon so I can get the order in but I’m mindful because of all the preorders I’ve got going on. It’s a much better and stress free way of collecting for me personally.

Siege last year was a bloody headache, the hoops I had to go through to get the Rainmakers and GS Smokescreen..I hope the Coneheads won’t be the same.

Kinda just want Snapdragon, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker and Arcee the most. Fasttrack only for Scorponok. I’ve no interest in Smokescreen because I’m happy with the Siege one, same for Prowl and Bluestreak.

I’m probably gonna get out of mainline if it’s G1 again in the next trilogy, maybe even in part 3 if they’re more rehashes . I feel like these figures are pretty much as close to masterpiece you can get at this budget.

 

may I propose to you using blue-tac?

 

You may but it will result in this rebuttal...

 

Finally started listing some of my Hasbro classics. Trying to reduce the numbers in the collection, especially of duplicates especially where I have the Takara versions. I am just worried I will spend it all on something I shouldn’t!

 

Hasbro G1 Transformers Hot Rod - Kup - Blurr (1986).

All vintage with freshly applied vintage G1 stickersheets.

All absolutely stunning.



All the best

Whilst trawling the memory banks for a Hosehead bod, I suddenly remembered "Transformers, GO!" had a triple Rescue Bot Team combiner, of which one was a fire engine - and, lo and behold, there he is, GANOH!

Buuuuuut I'm gonna have to break out ol' Roy again...

I do dig that truck mode but, darn it, if the combination gimmick doesn't leave him with Cindy Crawford leg syndrome with T-Rex-y arms to boot!
The Quest continues!

 

Popped out to Smyths today and picked up a bunch o' robits  

Hotlink is as gorgeous as expected and I've already moved his pointless Targetmasters on.

Wheeljack is fine but very blocky and DEFINITELY in need of some upgrade kits.

Sky Lynx is wonderful BUT he could do with a better way to clip his wings in in shuttle, birb and beast mode, his head balljoint is too weak to allow him to hold it up well with the effects parts attached to his mouth cannon and I don't understand what the springloaded gun thing is all about in his Lynx head.

Scrapface, however....wow....even his fudged together space whatever mode looks good in this finish!! I, of course, now need two more.

Argh. I was there today and they had Starscreams a-plenty!! If I'm going back before you manage to get one I'll let you know.

 

Nowhere near finished and it's going somewhere bigger (multiple Ironworks to be worked out, Hoist is going elsewhere), but did a test shot.
