    Counterprime?

    Well, my boi the lollipop person was a wee bugger, with some bleed through from his dyeing a bit redder bronzing my attempts to silver (or rather aluminium) him up but with no small amount of perseverance eventually here we have CROSSGUARD!

    Honestly, maybe I should've taken the rains as a sign because the additional difficulty for an only slightly darker coloured ramp bits is not the most enticing exchange.
    Whatevs, he's DONE! Just gonna let him cure a wee bit before I 'Bot badge one of his silver shoulders!

    Disco's been Swear Trek since season 1! They've been deploying F-Torpedoes from the off!

    It's such a great figure, and goes really well for a classics-ification of the movie boys (Blackout was yours btw ;) )

    Punch Prime? Counter Prime? Lol.

    I am taking way too long between loading a page and typing a reply at the mopment.

    Nah, Disco's been like that since season 1, when Tilly yelled out "You guys, this is so fucking cool!", followed by an awkward pause and apology before Stamets just very calmly replies, "No, Cadet. It is fucking cool."

    I loved that moment :lol

    Now see, that moment of dropping an F bomb made sense. Tilly is such a hyperactive character with so much positivity and energy, it felt in character, especially her apologising afterwards. And Stamets agreeing was just the icing on the cake for that scene. Picard, the swearing all felt forced and out of place.

    It turned out to be The Entertainer (he's nowhere near as geeky as me, blind luck he was in there!).

    Ooohh, what did you get? I've an insane backlog otherwise I'd have gone through the list proper!

    I think after all the abusive language of ST Picard, the flipping blimeyness of Discovery must have seemed somewhat 12 rated? LOL! I don't remember it being that bad? :)

    @Xaran Alamas,
    My canon is,

    Rebels
    Rogue One
    Star Wars
    The Empire Strikes Back
    Return Of The Jedi
    The Mandalorian

    Original, theatrical cuts for the OT although the Disney Plus cut of Star Wars gets an honourable mention for Greedo saying "Maclunkey!" :D 

    @Brum Bot,
    My basic problem with AEW is their roster has too many regular looking guys who don't look very intimidating and whilst they might get to do their own promos, none of them sound very good, save for MJF.

    I am 100% with Jim Cornette on Omega, the Bucks, Moxley, Orange Cassidy, Marko Stunt and the rest.... many of them don't belong on a TV show and the only members of their roster that do pro wrestling in a form that I recognise are FTR and they can't carry everybody.

    Everybody else either does a version of that overly contrived lucha nonsense with dozens of dives and flips and false finishes so it's just moves for the sake of doing moves or it's deathmatch garbage and that style lost all shock value before ECW went out of business.

    Considering what is now known about head trauma, I also think it's irresponsible to still give that style any kind of TV platform and with them being owned by a billionaire they're leaving themselves wide open to be sued into oblivion by parents of a kid who gets badly hurt by imitating something they saw.

    There's also a level of hypocrisy from their hardcore fans ( Not saying this is you BTW ) and their paid shills in the media when they defend their comedy that I find off putting because if the exact same things were on WWE television they'd shit all over it.....the song & dance skit with Jericho & MJF being a classic example of this.

    Clearly I'm not the target audience but it's OK because I don't need modern wrestling to be good as between the WWE Network and YouTube there's never been greater access to stuff from the past I've never seen.

    EDIT,
    Whilst on the topic, it looks like there might be a GI Joe Classified Sgt Slaughter figure in the works as Sarge has mentioned on social media that he's got a meeting with Hasbro coming up.

    Be intresting to see how it compares with the Valaverse one.

    Here in Australia, Aimless and Pteraxadon (and, by virtue of reshipping with wave 2, Lionizer) were the only Siege Battlemasters available in large quantities.

    I realise that isn't particularly relevant in a UK toy discussion but, y'know, it's true.

    Can’t really justify a quick trip to my local Entertainer.
    If anyone knows if the Winchester branch has stock I may drag my self out there.

    Cheers for the heads up!

    It's the red one I'd be after, but he's going for £60+ on eBay. If you've got one you'd be happy to let go for a more reasonable price, I'd definitely be interested.

    I got Batman new 52 vol 8 and 9 (which works out perfectly because I own 1 - 7 then just moved on to rebirth) Batman/Superman worlds finest, and Superman Birthright volume 1 and 2, which I have heard is quite good, all in all though £60 worth of comics for £15? yes please
