    Now I want a version of the "Greetings fellow kids" meme with Alpha Trion or Kup :lol 

    That's quite the loadout Sideswipe has!
    In a rare serious answer to one of these hints, I believe that quote is paraphrasing one of the biblical-ish things Megatron read from the Covenant of Primus in Beast Wars' finale arc, so most likely means he's got Beast Megatron.

    Terrorcons rise!

    And that is a cute T30 Arcee custom. Now you've got me looking at the heads of my duplicate Novastar and Moonracer which I got before they brought out Greenlight and Lancer.

    Heh, my LEGO drill setup for Transformers is getting quite the use huh? :D 

    As for the big drills, well if you ever find yourself making a Combiner or Titan weapon they'd probably be good for a uber gun barrel?

    Those Pretender shells look awesome with Chima heads! I've actually been thinking lately some of the LEGO helmets might work as Transformer heads for like Voyagers or large Deluxes...
    That spider guy has serious Venom vibes!

    To be honest, looking at your Pretender shell customs makes me want to make a proper one for Solus. The Octopunch one really doesn't suit her IMO.

    Many times, just usually imported. I do share your pessimism. I reckon the pit is going to be hard to find.

    Although I'm sure Takara will have their own version In 18 months

    Nope no updates for me on my order dude, but the order wasn't due til November if I remember correctly.

    Further proof that Seeaich is a top bloke!

    Merry mini Christmas!

    Ohh definitely.

    I always wonder who is better at talking without saying anything, company reps or politicians.

    Damn Chris. Keep spiralling.

    As you may recall, I've reconciled that by considering the wee Prime Masters as their G1-based characters who also happen to be Avatars/Paladins/Shamen of their allotted Prime, rather than the inner robots actually being the Prime in question, so as Octopunch has an aquatic theme (and water goes well, tee hee, with forges) so his opposite number also happens to be a water-affinity Pretender, Splashdown.

    Still time for a least a wee bit of token diversity in my tiny disguisers though having said that.
    You KNOWS it!

    So, I've mentioned a few times about my plans to supplement my MP collection with HasLab Unicron and a Quint Pit setup. I've picked up dx9 war in pocket dinobots to compliment the scene, but I just realised I need a Wheelie!

    I suspect TR/LG Wheelie will be a touch too big, but what do you guys think? Plus, he's like 60 quid minimum on eBay :rolleyes: 

    Anyone got any ideas for a suitable alternative? Or a suitable figure that might be good for a custom? I haven't customised before, so my current thinking is "small, orange, and looks a bit like wheelie if I squint right":lol

    Ryan Reynolds is potentially buying into Wrexham FC. If that doesn't lead to Deadpool 3 being set in the area it's a missed opportunity :D 

    Watched an episode of Rebels last night that had Sabine using the Darksaber. Was hoping she'd split Ezra in half with it.

    Found the new version of Black Series Ahsoka on ebay for not too insane a price and bit before it gets too silly.

    Also got the following updates on my Star Action Figures orders,

    Storm & Thunderbird are "awaiting dispatch"
    Deadpool & Negasonic Teenage Warhead are "in warehouse"

    Hey, I'm liking the kreo one!

    I'll bear that one in mind definitely, though. I only want bot mode for display, to ride Grimlock - or sit on his head!

    Of all of the figures that SHOULD come with blast effects, he doesn't. Daft. Especially considering his only accessory is his shield - which I now see does most of the job of holding his front end together. I also noticed he doesn't have an Autobot badge in robit mode so I guess I won't be the only one painting his tummy burgundy and sticking one on there.

    There's a Lego Avengers comic that comes with a fully kitted out Spidey on sale if anyone collects or needs that mini-fig.

    Well I have a KO of that Universe Wheelie at around large Legends/Small Deluxe if you want it? It's... not that good as a KO though! LOL!

    Hehe afraid not, I have designs on making a Flareup custom with her.

    Cool, I honestly can't remember if I've read that before but it's a cool concept :) 

    I'll have to have a look if it's one I don't have, thanks for the heads up. The LEGO comics can often be a good way of getting figs, including sometimes ones in expensive sets you might not want the full set.

    Cheers for the offer, but I reckon that might be too large. I could really do with the nano scale kit that Jizai Toys did in 2007 and 2008, or the GUNG kit from 2009... teeny tiny to sit on Legends sized Grimlock's noggin!

    How big is Rung? He's orange...

    Where did you get Blackwing from? He's proving...difficult....to find.


    Well, if you've got a spare Novastar...

    ...ah.

    WON'T SOMEBODY SELL ME A BLACKWING AND A NOVASTAR?

    This is it, the cover doesn't show it, but there's like a vibrancy to the eyes from a blue colour and something similar with the chest symbol that makes it stand out a little. Sorta like those arcs where Peter was running his own company and Spidey was the 'bodyguard'.

    No, we’ve still got another half wave or so of stragglers for Wave 3. Just the deluxes now I believe.

    Cheers, I know I'm quite keen on carping on about it, so I do try not to carp about it too much but I aren't to good at remembering the last time I carped on about it. ;) 

    Dear reader, I fear I am quite, quite mad...
