    Nyaaagh, lookit alldis Geewunnaery! And toy head for Screamer isn't just toy but also boxart, early Marvel, Ladybird being-crushed-to-death-by-Windcharger book...and I don't have a Ghost Starscream...and how I delete Interweb? :lol 

    super7 ultimates.jpg

    Just posted Wheeljack to @DeadBiscuit and Terrible Lizard King to @Braddock so I even have sales dosh and could therefore preord-- bugsno200.gif

    @Napalm top DJD terrors! Generations Selects combiner team with wrong choice for torso when?*

    [*] Never. :( 

    @Xaran Alamas thinking about Sky Lynx?

    If you buy all the variants then I don't have to! Mind you, I said that about the whole line when the MOTUly Kru started posting about it...

    I hath ordered: He-Man, Skeletor, and Evil-Lyn from Amazon US as for some reason it decided I deserved coupons and so they were 15 bob each shipped w/import fees! It would have been rude not to, no?
    Plus Orko and Man-E-Faces from eBay UK, and Trap-Jaw from Amazon EU (current estimate: between March 2021 and May 2051).
    It's not a rabbit hole is it? We're hunting Snufflegruffs!

    1. Me too also! And a red one. With toy head.
    2. Yes, but the New Money faux-fortress kind. Ghosts wouldn't be seen dead there.

    Top work as ever! Also, most economical way to travel between the stars: send the minds, have robots build bodies from them out of local materials when the vessel gets there.

    You're catching up rightly! Top tip, you might need to twist Lyn's boots a fraction to get her to stand (just a small quirk).

    @robotmel I dropped one on a printer, didn't end well!

    Augh! That dispenser, he daid. :eek: :( 

    1. What, me get proper into a line I said I'd never buy? You must mean some other Vertex. Or maybe that guy Zenith, I heard he looks like him. :) 
    2. The other day, I dropped my printer! It had it coming though as it worked for a bit and then died as soon as it was out of warranty. Wish I'd thought to take the paper out of it before binning its corpse! :oops:

    And you can’t even tape it back together.
    I totally feel for you. Those things in mint condition are like gold dust in schools.

    Total G1 Superion (except Powerglide)is majestic.
    Easily my favourite combiner at the moment (I still haven’t combined Victorion so she doesn’t count yet).

    One good thing for having bought so much 3P crap back in the days when that was a thing is you occasionally remember you've got an oddity that never really worked with much else but who's time may now have come...... IMG_20210310_123013.jpg

    Core Grimlock taken care of.

    He needs a good home. Has anyone ever regretted buying a space dragon that turns into a shuttle?

    Ghosts are so transparent with their dislike for modern castles.

    That’s it! Got to take him where you can get him.

    :D 
    Haslab planet class Optimus when?

    IKR?! Those toy heads are killer nostalgia bait for me too!

    Yeah, I always thought Superion looked the best of the CW gestalts- silverbolt makes for a good torso.

    Rang my local comic shop to delay my C+C pick up of my WH40K comics,
    you don't pick up comics in the rain - that would be madness!
    "Oh, ands can you put aside about 20 quid's worth of Pokémon cards with it...nice"
    Keeping the local economy going and pleasing the boy, this is multi-tasking people.

    No-one else can do the things you do...oooooo….

    Were we advertising for a Meme-God? I think we have filled the position.

    Best not to use 'heavy' tape anyway, that'll double all your postage costs.
    Use 'light' stuff instead, my Sellotape has been on a diet for months.


    I did have a spare, I either flogged it or it is in isolation....standard line for me....
    I would expect many of us have lots of them as they went rather cheap in their later days, again, sorry, I won't see mine for months yet so I am unlikely to be able to help.

    Laters.

    I had a MFP and the only satisfaction I ever got from it was eventually beating the living tar out of it with a crowbar after 6 months of nonsense*. Some things should just never have left the factory. No problems with a printer since either!

    There used to be a scrapyard in China filled with all sorts of e-waste. For a nominal fee you could bring along your own infernal machine or select one if they had it, and they'd even provide the items that would let you educate said machine at pace.

    * I used to build computers and disassemble electronics and fix them etc, but this thing was electronic ebola.

    Well, usually a lot of sand!

    So looks like Matrix & glow effect confirmed - but with keeping the Matrix the same size as ER Prime's it looks like he's got to use a thumb and index finger tiny teacup grip to hold it, instead of his mitts perfectly fitting as in TFTM! :lol 

    And @Napalm's phantom tab may be for that folded-down panel on his backpack possibly?

    So turns out the Siege Hot Shot I bought has only just been opened at the box. Still sealed with his ties! What a steal for £20!

    Got some effect parts today as well! Can't get enough of these
