    FYI, Doublecrosser, Soundbarrier and Slitherfang are a 20 dollar pack at BBTS, with DC being 10 on his own, so I'd imagine he'll be seriously expensive here too.
    ..

    Apparently Sony are lining up massive franchise entries exclusives for the PS5, just in case you didn't think exclusives were the biggest load of fuck you.

    If he's sold in fixed wave trios as the Wave 2 Duo mostly has ain't no big thang for me, I actually might not be so bothered about having to nab them in bundles proportional to their packing, either that or some more economical Slitherfangs & Soundbarriers on the side'll still do me - GIMME DEM ROADS!

    I wish I could say that I didn't get that reference. But that would be a lie.

    Ahhh, excellent. I have the Red Alert and Wheeljack sets pre-ordered through them!

    Oh god no, that backpack is unforgivable. It looks decent enough without it, but I’d really rather just skip it than have it on display with a chunk put in a drawer.

    Yeah, if we’d had a triple changer actually triple change in it EVERYONE would be awkwardly running rather than transforming, rather than almost everyone.

    Must be something in the water as my sciatica has been an absolute bastard lately. I wish I’d kept the receipt.

    I was about to tell you about The Glaug but I see you already know. He’s a good lad. Hopefully I’ll have bought ER Optimus by the time the upgrade pack ships.

    Speaking of shipping, I paid the Hubcap invoice so he’ll be here next week. Need to get me some snake lads now.

    I know the originator of the gag has been revealed as a horrible human being but the numerous on-foot not so rapid exits in Siege do make me think "OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI!" and chuckle.

    Still waiting for Kapow's Snek & Rong stock to arrive but I'm not completely toy-less as a figma arrived today. Knowing that it will soon be followed by a customs charge has soured the experience a bit though...

    Quite surprised with how much I've been enjoying Cyberverse too. At times it feels a bit too 'childish' for my liking (I don't mean that too disparagingly as it is a cartoon aimed at kids afterall!) but I do appreciate the variety of characters and the short run time means it doesn't outstay it's welcome.

    I hope so. Maybe I just need to vary it up. So take a little time away and go back again. I normally 'quit collecting forever' once a year, sell all my stuff, delete TFW from my recent visited list etc... but then some new thing'll come along and I'm back in it. The number of times I've sold and later bought the same figures....

    Yeah, I was explaining to the missus this morning what Slitherfang turned into and those guys really don't have it good: either be stepped on or be used as a shield (you get shot so they do not).

    Maybe they're like Insecticons and have a drone/cloning power, so they never wilfully endanger their own selves but their disposable copies? (Which also means they can waltz about untrod-on by thwacking their copies down for road duties.)
    Either that or they all have ENDURANCE:10!

    Opened crack up this week, thanks @Brum Bot

    Good figure, has faults, has nice bits. I think if it was the same price as an ft toy I wouldn't be happy, but pretty impressive for the price. So, not a bad effort.

    Also, in other news, I will be getting a divorce next week. The wife is going to find out I have bought a toyworld constructor for 450 quid!

    Oops!

    Right, need to catch up with the forum, likes incoming!

    All the likes for that one. I actually have the proceeds of a sale/dump hanging around in PayPal and was THIS CLOSE to folding on Captain Magnificent.......but Kapow have that Storm Collectables Darksied in so.........I'm sorry Space Chicken/Cat Mashup. Maybe next month.

    Hubcap on the way from ID (yus!) and Snake Eyes II arrives from Star Action.......but it's too fecking warm to start customing him. Maybe by midnite when it's only 27c° it'll be more conducive.

    Or not.

    Eye fankyew!
    The Bio write up for the Space Team has them as a Fantastic Four bar Sue but seeing as there's three of 'em I reckon:
    ASTROSCOPE = Graeme Garden, the Brains
    SKY BLAST = Tim Brooke-Taylor, the flighty one (Fnar fnar)
    PAYLOAD = Bill Oddie, the (Musical) Muscle
    :for me!

    Yeah nah, don’t give up on childhood toys, my first transformer was/is Wideload, and even though I enjoyed playing with the Snarl Decoy that came with him more, I couldn’t bear to be without him in my collection. And besides, the Armada toys are fun on a bun, I’ve only had them as an adult collector, but I love Tidal wave, Demolisher, Scavenger (big stompy brick that he is), and Sideways. Hell, even Sideswipe has a lovely alt mode. The less said about the rest of him the better :lol

    I found season 2 onwards to be great and Thunderhowl looks so cool, shame he not in it long.
    the savage beating Megatron hands Starscream was seriously not childish at all.
