    Huzzah! General stock of God and the Serpent has dropped at ID and, with regular postage, at about what I've paid per Snak from Amazon US for each of 'em!
    I was beginning to think that I may easily end up with enough reptiles but have a hard time finding God for a minute! :p

    Well lads, I’ve been on the forum for a full year, just today at 2:40pm! (according to the trophy I got) and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for making my time on the Internet that little bit better!

    Such an absolute fucking badass, every one of his component parts survived the er.. the 'delightful' packaging they arrived in.

    HAIL TO THE KING, BABY.

    I could do with it being £80, but I hope it's £60 or £70.

    I think they’ll do it for £70. Even for an import £80+ is too much. Their imports aren’t always much more expensive than UK stock either, but being a box set I’d not be surprised by any pricing funny business.

    That looks great.

    I bet that will land before XTB Stunticons trailer does. The wait to form Menasor continues...:(

    They look really cool. The likeness of the twin peaks guy is great. I really like that dune film - lots of freaky imagery. Jodorowsky’s dune is a lot of fun too. The books... I love ‘God emperor’ but the rest I find pretty up and down.

    Now I wish there’d been a ‘BBC Karla trilogy (minus the one they thought was too expensive to film)’ toyline :( 

    Also, I’m not sure what that dude is reacting too (Patrick putting his hands on him?!) but it’s pretty terrifying!

    Happy anniversary! Sounds like a good excuse for some tf purchasing tonight ;) 

    Awesome photo! Given he survived that shipping experience, I wouldn’t want to go up against him.

    Yeah the FP prices are a bit whack. £22.99 for siege Prowl, £24.99 ER Starscream and Gen Select Smokescreen only £18.99
    Still it’s closer than the local Smyths.

    Been a long time since a post from me, hows everyone been?

    I've been looking on the forums for a hint here, but does anyone have an idea when Earthrise Prowl and Ironhide 2 pack will be up on Amazon uk for pre-order?

    Besides the Snakes arriving this morning, I also took delivery of this chap:

    I had (and still have) Ironhide from childhood, but this is my first G1 Ratchet :)

    Ebay:
    Will try to when the weather isn't quite so hot that it feels like my brain is trying to leak out my ears x)

    Considering everyone except the Prosecutor is available elsewhere in some form - do we know if the Allicon has a robot mode that looks like the bailiff though? - anyway, I kind of wonder if Arblus will be a pack in with another figure. Most logical might be the SS '86 Hot Rod if we get one, or Kup, as they shared scenes in the movie.

    Glad to see he survived the trip :) 

    Happy Anniversary!

    Today's arrivals: A pack of Dianauts courtesy of @MyTea Boc and Scrapface off ebay! Though for a guy called Scrapface his face is remarkably smooth :D 

    Scrapface would also be a great name for a Junkion.

    That’s a beauty - how much did that set you back if you don’t mind me asking? Would live to pick up the van bros for a G1 alt mode display.

    I can see it now!
    George Smiley, with Cleaning Glasses with Tie ACTION!
    Jim Prideaux & Bill Hayden 2-pack, with Iron Fist in Iron Glove COMBO ATTACK!
    Chase edition Post-North Africa Peter Guillam, with Sweaty PTSD Nervous Breakdown collapsing motion!
    At risk of flubbing it and having to hand in my Trek Nerd card I believe the poor chap is actually being kilt by an immortal extradimensional entity that has never experienced death, and is having fun experimenting on these new "mortal" things it has nabbed into it's tesseract pocket dimension thing.

    Alt mode and those feet really do spoil the vanette lines imo. Very likely keep the figure in bot mode. Definitely make sure the rear of alt mode isn’t on show. Lol.

    Sure looks like you can do a combat sled mode by not flipping in the side windows and using that central port to mount the Ratchet-style launcher!

    Why else have that particular port be round like that?

    I think those quad "cannons" are possibly meant to be "thrusters".
