PlayStation 5: Amazon 'really sorry' after customers received cat food and other items instead of games console

Erm...

 

FYI - On Facebook Kapow recently posted this:

 

I wouldn't say no to a G2 purple soundwave with a mouth from the selects series.

Hang, the spear, its all about the snake bandolier!  

 

Yeah, the whole thing feels 'nearly 5pm on a Friday', and I'd have loved a gravity gun attempt however they did it.

Megs was sick of comments about his feet, so...

 

Received Runabout and Mirage today

Is it just me or is Mirage lowkey a really good figure? He was never my favourite character, but there's something kinda polished and neat about him.. sounds like a minor detail but I really love the way his wheels fold up into his back for robot mode, looks cool and fills out space.

Runabout on the other hand has a nice deco and mould. He's a bit gappy tho, and obviously there's the vehicle mode and its poor tolerances that need millimetre precision squeezing to hold together and then you shouldn't even look at him in case you cause some kind of quantum state to collapse and the whole thing to turn into a pile of panels

 

Now I’M worried about Jessie! Back when I still lived with my folks I was always having to relocate hedgehogs that I’d found just bimbling along the road. Haven’t seen one in the wild for years now  

I’m fucking GUTTED about this one as I just made a big sale on Reverb which would easily pay for both bundles - comes to just over £300 all in, including shipping - as they’re all on my wants list, but Reverb takes 48 hours to process payments so it won’t hit my account until fucking MONDAY. Even with customs I’d have saved myself a fortune over time. Bastard.

 

Just what I was about to comment on. That bandolier is awesome. How many snakes does it take to go around him?

 

 
That would be appreciated if you can take a look!  

PM'ed if they haven't been snapped up already!  

Edit: Ooof! ER Runabout just been put up on Ebay with a starting price of £29!!!
Let the scalping begin!

Ordered this last night!

Runabout arrived just after I posted my previous post!



Makes me a bit miffed that they couldn’t be arsed to give his mucky brother some lovely clear orange bits  

 

Good afternoon All.

Great news sadly if they are coming by way of RM 48, I’m still waiting on IDT sale figures from the 13th which were only shipped on Monday and still not in sight.

Same for me. Having said that, to put into perspective of my day job. I provided Prudential with completed pension discharge paperwork in early Oct and they should have sent the clients pension fund to another provider last Friday and to date no monies sent. Financial Services and Providers are really taking the piss. If I do not communicate with clients or take the money and not do the work I will expect to push jelly uphill.

Rather than companies assuming we all use FB, why not through their website send out a mailer to all of us that have profile accounts with them. I’d prefer they do that. Thank you RP for confirming they are attempting to reach out to people.

Does anyone know when IDT move into new premises? Is it this year?

 

Okay so after like a whole week playing the PS5 (Well I'm on Furlough until Nicola puts my council into Tier 2 so why not  ) it's time to get back to bots!

Fasttrack arrived from Amazon yesterday (From Italy in a bag aswell so far travelled and box bashed) so Scorpy now has a staff!!

Runamuck been dispatched by Amazon for delivery on Sunday. ID dispatched Runabout today so the gruesome two-some should be complete soon.

FT Thomas should finally be in my hands today. God it has been some wait to get him but it beats paying nearly £300/400 for him. I have actually seen people wanting to swap a PS5 for him!!! Mental!!!

Got a big bonus from work that I wasnt expecting, so with Xmas now sorted I treated myself to the two YM Headmasters. They should be shipping with my XTB Swarm (another item I've been waiting ages for!)

Nice to finally get movement on stuff. Patience is a virtue!!

 

Headshots Part Deux.

 

So this might be a weird opinion, but I have had to come back to my parents house for the week due to roofing work at mine, which is where I keep all my siege lads, and I have to say, playing around with them a bit, I sort of prefer them to Earthrise?? Does anyone else feel this way?? Like yeah Earthrise aesthetically is a lot more G1, but Siege in hand feels a lot nicer to handle and mess with?? And I actually quite like the battle damage, maybe that's just me, but I sort of like the whole aesthetic a bit more than straight up g1, and I am not scared of breaking any of my siege guys like I am with a few of the Earthrise bots

 

Honestly, pound for pound Siege is the superior line by far. Paint, tolerances, structural design, joints...

 

If a company has a Facebook account then it should also have Twitter and Instagram accounts and post identically on all three platforms. I’m sick of getting information second hand from people nice enough to let us know what has been posted on Faceache.

 

Yeah mate honestly, when I moved out I didn't have any Earthrise, but now that I have had time to mess with the siege lads again there is a part of me that regrets going all in on Earthrise rather than finishing Siege

 

I prefer siege jets, and siege has that shockwave. Agree.

 

Better transformations too. My only query with Hoist and Trailbreaker is the faffy transformation, same with Starscream. If I were to use onomatopoeia to illustrate this, figures like Siege Sideswipe and Hound are stress-free, clunk-creak-click affairs, whilst Cliffjumper and Astrotrain are more creak-creak-“bugger, my fingers”-click.

 

I’ve not had a chance to properly look into this. More by chance I stumbled across that kit. Now I know I will have a look later today.

 

What are you missing from Siege? Some of it is still around on occasion or someone here could maybe help.

Yup, the road vehicles are especially bad in ER for transformation.

Forbidden Planet (.com) had the TF visual history hardback for £20 FFS, but still, head over, they've all sorts of geeky stuff left.
