    I use to love G-Force as a kid. Not sure if it was shown on UK tv up to 1984/5. Just wrapping my tired brain as to whether it was shown earlier around 1980/81...? Compulsive viewing as a kid looking forward to the next episode.

    It is great that a character in one of the episodes stands out for you is triggered by multiply Slithers.

    Right, time for me to hit the hay. Good night all.

    Damn, those Slitherfangs didn’t last long!

    In other news Amazon have shipped my Coneheads, with an ETA of the 26th August....the DHL courier email says 20th August...?!

    The race is on!

    Silly question time do we know when ID are expecting the Selects Cassettes? Seems odd those are sets out their in the wild, but not in stock with them yet?

    Strange how blur was in the earlier UPC codes but not in the new set, I'm guessing he's one of the tbd deluxes. Appolux who leaked a lot of the other stuff is saying we have a more g1 Magnus retool coming but I'm guessing it's in studio series and not kingdom per the earlier 2 leader stipulation.

    Also got my own half baked theory that kingdom leader Galvatron is going to be doubledealer height and the rumoured Rodimus commander I think will be the same height with a trailer roughly the same size as Skylynx lynx half. That formula just seems to balance out in my head size wise as lynx is similar to 2 leaders but seems less complex engineering wise.

    Studio series already has its 3 leaders for next year, namely:
    Grimlock & Wheelie
    Slag & Daniel
    Grindor & Ravage

    Kingdom has two 'known' namely
    BW Megatron
    Galvatron
    so an Earth Magnus could well be the third.

    Damnit, that might be the first time I use the combined mode! I'm as shocked as you.

    These look great! Hasbro can create a good wave when they bloody want to.

    Good morning folks!

    With all these restocks that's been flying around between Kapow and ID I'm surprised no one seems to be able to grab and ER Starscream's? o_O 

    I still need a ER Screamer - no toy shops near me so it I guess I need to scour online only! :confused: 

    In other news - I dipped one of my KO CW Streetwise into the dye pan....

    Such a classic show. Got the instrumental of that theme as my morning alarm. If they do an official corssover, pretty sure that would be one I would pick up.

    Did a shot of Fans Hobby Athena, based on (what I believe to be) an iconic vintage Porsche 959 poster:

    A Trans Am transformer in a Knight Rider crossover would be cool - they could do a Ghostbusters and redeco MP10 as the Goliath but swap Op for one of his Movie Peterbilt trucks! :D
