Bleeding Hasblow pulse. Went to go pre order that Skywarp / Sideswipe set, only thing it says is "Pre order", I put it in basket, go to check out and out of stock. Nothing on site saying it's out of stock. So had to order with Amazon now, here's hoping I actually receive it when it's released.

'As enemies then, Optimus...'





'..as enemies.'

 

PHWOARgeous!

Checked RTS Tracks' chest this morning, and , Hoo, BOY! the Future/Pledge has worked perhaps almost *Too* well. First slide was actually quite difficult but I guess it definitely won't droop so easy now! So, uh, yeah, if you're having a RTS Tracks/CHUG Wheeljack chest sag issue, dob some Future/Pledge into the chest peg runner channel sections (no disassembly required, a cotton bud/q-tip dunked in polish can easily be inserted via the gaps in the top of the chest), work it a few times, then leave to cure overnight!

 

Looks like mine has the same issue on the hip, if I'm looking at the right thing, but soundwave doesn't.





Both of mine go together ok but the peg on the legs isn't the strongest grip.





'tape mode' using the upgrade kit still looks passable though


Edit:
In slightly sadder news, soundwave's head has become very loose on its ball joint. He's more like a bobble head now   I guess there may be done pledge in his future

 

Can’t believe I’ve not seen some of you ugly bastards since TFN 2019…..

Met a few of you for the first time too!

Talk about conflicting thoughts...

Good for people who didn't like the headsculpts originally.

Both bad and good news for retailers who got WAY too many of the OG ones and still have them, in that many will buy at least two of each for play and display. Maybe even multiples as base bodies for the deluxe set heads.

They could so easily have included a full sword before, Super 7 did even after paying Mattel for the licence.

Apart from the swords I've already 'made these'.

 

Morning All,

Succumbed to an early night for once. Bit of catching up in here. Not in @doucoo league for catch up.

Given Brendan’s enablement and my purchases of kits for Huffer and Warpath yesterday I almost pushed the button on ER Ratchet and Ironhide. I held firm and didn’t get the fillers/feet and rear panels for them. I’m sure I will look again. Lol. Well done on getting one for the SG Ratchet. I’d be keen to hear your thoughts once received and installed.

I’ve had the figure on PO with Kapow for some time now. Omega never had the figure until you now tipping me off they have stock in. Similar price to Kapow. I’m tempted to cancel and go with Omega. I did ask Kapow a couple of weeks ago what the state of play is but got no real response which was a little disappointing. Seems funny that Kapow is recognised as being an outlet for MMC products but getting stock after Omega.

Thanks.

I really didn’t think Soundblaster was going to happen so that merc group wouldn’t be completed. Just need to sort out space for displays.

 

Your daily dose of #deskbot now features dual-wielding Decepticon Duocons.

 

We'd think of it as one, but amazon don't treat it that way

 

Yeah, probably.

As for the bot, he kind of made me think of Strongarm because of the colourscheme. Nothing else similar  

Huh, odd. Ironically enough mine seems to have a lot of very tight joints.

 

Also, I do believe my AliExpress order has arrived. Which is nice as I'm having a bloody awful morning so far.

 

I guess a lot of people will have a "safety" pre-order on Hasbro Pulse since it's delivery date is listed as much later than Amazon. So when/if the Amazon one ships a lot of people will cancel the Hasbro one and it will have some more stock then. The really late dates on the hasbro Pulse shop confuse me a lot though, I'd be a bit annoyed if I had to wait like an extra 2 months to get something compared to else where - for no deserable reason.

But it not like Shattered Glass toys catagorise as "urgent" - even Artfire isn't hugely important to me in terms of waiting without a complementary Stepper to go with him.

----

Now I have noticed that there is Hound Generics on the Netflix show in a bunch of other colours, I find it weird that they went so big on the Sideswipe repaints and didn't think to make a Brown-Hound, or Detritus or Rollbar. It just seems like more of an oversight now that there is a desert hound OSKO coming out shortly.

Who knows perhaps they will make a Sunstorm and Detritus set sometime.

------

I was wondering with those recent re-release (on preorder) of the Reflector gift set - is that at the same price as last time or cheaper ?
I have reason to buy another couple of those sets - but at a bit cheaper than the old retail price if possible.

 

Yeah, I'd have preferred to have waited and got these instead of the original releases. I much prefer the toy heads.

 

"Yes, it's a crossbow, fuck up!"

This week's custom work has mostly been this:

Four chins and a grin.

IDT hit me up for the balance payment on Megs this morning, so I'll soon be able to have the boss bots battle it out on my shelves!

 

Just saw this on the twitters

 

It is indeed. Got it for 25 on ebay.

Sweet Jaysus that is amazing.

No better way to start the day than staring intently at Soundwave's crotch. That is a shame about the loose balljoint.

Nice work on all fronts. Quinthide looks good and creepy!

'Fine I won't.'

'Squidward'

 

@Siege Fan did you see the upcoming origins he-man and skelator re release with the full power swords and more vintage heads?

Hope everyone else well. I haven't bought any tfs for a few weeks now, and also frustrated I missed out on siege soundblaster. Happy to buy a spare off anyone if any about.

Finally managed to recover my youtube channel after my own vid popped up in my recommendations, probs after browsing retro TF stuff and I watched it, realised it was familiar. Lol that I still have some subscribers left too.

Only a couple of vids left on it & yay for vintage camera phone recording quality.
