    Anyone selling an earthrise bluestreak for non rapey prices considering the "above reproach" kapow towers dropped the ball nearly 4 weeks ago.

    Btw, anybody has a spare of that neon-coloured Supreme Cybertron Primus that came out a few years ago? Hit me up if so :)

    It is. The whole mantra of the duck family is ADVENTURE!!! And they're so energetic and enthusiastic about it all. A real joy to watch.


    And thanks. Finally got a pic of mmakeshift in robot mode.

    Its not showing too well in this, but his ear flaps are red. I didn't want him to just be a pure black blob so i left his upper arms and under his chest canopy white.

    Maybe if it had been the entire pack but £69.99 JUST for Skywarp? Yeah, no. I don't care about him enough to pay that much for him :lol  Hotlink can continue to stand in for him. Thanks anyway :) 

    Oh wow he looks great in this mode too! And yeah the white really helps accent the black well.

    Snagged a Hasbro CW Computron on eBay for decent price as it didn’t include Scrounge/Cybaxx.
    As I had to use TFwiki to work out who they both were I don’t feel bad about them not being there and I still get Computron for under £100.

    These look like a decent shout. The hubcab covers are a really nice touch.

    【Pre-Order】ZXB-03 Upgrade Kits + Weapons for WFC Earthrise Datsun Brothers (Prowl / Smokescreen / Bluestreak) Upgrade Kit (Painted)

    I had already painted Max's eyes, but his guyliner was wonky when looked at from below and it was bugging me enough to split him open and do it all over again to fix that. Put some Future in the mix to give it a bit of shine this time round as well. He 'just' needs a Black Zarak to go up against now.

    I’ve had this toy for 6 years, and I’m only now finding out you can put his axe on his back!

    This can't be economical for Amazon...

    Ordered Sunstreaker along side a classic MLP off my girlfriend's wishlist (because Christmas is coming up), which brought me over the £20 threshold for free shipping. This morning I get an email saying Sunstreaker is being dispatched separately because that's apparently quicker. Check the detailed tracking and Sunstreaker is apparently coming from Italy. And so far no movement on the pony, which will apparently also still ship for free.

    It sounds expensive and wasteful.

    Yup, meanwhile an item listed under Prime can be ordered on Thursday and arrive the following Tuesday... There's no rhyme or reason to any of it now, they just take orders whether they can fulfill them or not.

    Full house of Wave 3 Deluxes landed at most Northern Smyths stores overnight.

    Still no Bumblebee.

    Totally. That episode did indeed give me the feels. Really well done. And it feels like it's only going to get better.

    Don't feel bad, Andy. i didn't even know it was a thing until this morning.

    That's probably pretty damn important to her. As ever, hoping both she and you get some relief soon!

    Fucking hell, Douglas! Way to make me jealous! That's an amazing collection, man. Kudos!

    Amazon pay one huge lump sum to RM wvery year based on estimated usage, so it really doesn't cost them more to split deliveries. Although it is wasteful.

    Yep.

    Apeface was shelf warming at my local Smyths for a very long time. They still have 3 left in stock at full price. I actually expected Apeface to have had a price reduction but sadly not.

    Quite surprised by the Judge price reduction as only been in store for 6-7 weeks? Might be less time than that.

    I grabbed Soundwave for £30 from Smyths in the spring. I cannot recall how long they were shelf warming before Smyths dropped to that price to move them.
