    I know!! I kept reading other people’s lists and finding figures I’ve ordered but omitted so kept having to go back to amend mine!

    My home bargains had a load of “Sidesweeps” a few months ago. Could never tell if that was a typo, or a reference to TFTM :lol 

    Anyway, has the ER Barricade reveal made me get down Siege Barricade for a fiddle? What do you think?

    Some days outside there's a tune your toes tap....I'd trust this blue and red truck, also I bet extraterrestrial life found within 20 years but it's bacterial mats or slime mold. :)

    Super Megatron has been a total surprise. I mean, he looked cool in the pictures but I was never struck on the Galvatron version of this mold. Thankfully, the Megs is completely different and easily one of the best toys I’ve had in yonks. Here’s a bunch of photos, from a gallery I’ve added to my site (link in my sig).

    Making a list and checking it twice eh?

    So preorders currently are...

    Tigertracks paid up at Kapow.
    Cordon and SpinOut paid up at Kapow
    Bugbite 10% at Kapow
    G2 Sandstorm 10% at ID
    G2 EarthRise Megs 10% at ID
    Ironhide and Prowl at Big Evil USA
    Ratchet and Paradon Medic at Big Evil USA
    All 3 Battlemasters paid up at ID

    TBN (stolen from @Seeaich !)
    Sunstreaker and Trailbreaker

    I’ve not touched Kingdom or EarthFlix as those should be “off the shelf” items and Smyths is literally 1mile away from the house. I can walk it in 20mins...!

    I’m passing on the Battlchargers as an owner of the TFCC ones and the Autobot clones as was lucky enough to get them during TR. I’m eagerly waiting to see exactly what SS’86 brings to the table.

    Damn. Scary when you see it laid out like that!

    On an unrelated note a shout-out to @Decepticreeps100 for sorting me out with a T30 Eclipse. We did a trade a while back and somehow I ended up with a T30 Gears, Swerve and two Flankers whilst he ended up with a Swerve with Eclipse.

    Oops.

    Neither of us spotted it at the time, anyways thanks again mate, it’s not true what @nice sideburns says about you!

    Abominus?

    Which brings us back round to Monstructor/Dinoking potential?

    Possibly Abominus, maybe with a more cartoon accurate deco?

    I'm just not feeling this mould, especially not as Barry Cade. I'm happy with my four Siege lads to be honest, weird legs and all.

    Always fancied this mould but could never find one for the right price. And now I just want a Siege Jetfire.

    Stunning pics, Liam. I'm very eager to get this figure, but the recent £202 MOT bill hasn't helped...

    Forgot to add my preorders - just Sunstreaker and Rung/Slitherfang with Kapow. Who knows when Hasbro will make those available.

    Oh, and Doublecrosser with BBTS.

    I will buy Netflix Bumblebee and Elita One, maybe Trailbreaker, and when they arrive probably Kingdom Tracks and Inferno, and Optimus Primal. That's all I'm interested in at the moment really.

    That feeling when you know you kicked a god in the balls when you were a teenager but can't remember which god or what they were god of, and now the sun is up and the vodka is empty and you are quite clearly about to be VERY sorry and had got to the Galvatron highway scene in _Age of Extinction_ too *and* have messages from your ex from 2006 which are replies to _things you sent a few hours ago_ so if there's anything here that is _not_ your fault, nobody knows what the frak it was, and also I posted Lady Gaga on something but I don't know what.

    oh DEAR

    ObSF hey look work ethic

    I just put him together for around £70-75 boxed (just picked up Hun-Gurrr). Selects is going to be super expensive isn't it.

    I wish all your lists were sell lists lol.

    Takara Abominus? Lame. As someone that doesn't even care about Dinoking, I'd prefer that they did that.

    "I'd like to stay and help Arcee..."
    Seems like she's alright on her own, pal.

    Hey GOSH put some more bobbins up, shoot it's exactly what I (am supposed to) do. Job description like my CV with bad formatting. Paediatric high grade glioma and some paedriatic malnutrition/pathogen shit that must be QMUL coz you get stuck in Zimbabwe and Zambia, ok that's two ads....shall we play "drunken immunology application"?

    What's the worst that could happen? When it hits 10 I'm going out for another bottle anyway and will have no idea I sent anything anywhere...

    ObTF: I really liked issue 23 of the current TF comic. SUPER exciting! :D
