RIP Richard Donner.

The Christopher Reeve Superman film has always been a personal fave  

 

Heads up for those wanting Planet X Cacus, the wholesale price went up so now all the sites are increasing their prices. Going for £160 now.

Boy am I glad I pre-ordered when I did and just paid the balance on my £126 order on ShowZ.

 

MOTU lads- is roboto still in Smyths, or is Kapow my best bet? I went into my closest one and it had a few figures not listed on the website as being in stock so i'm hopeful.

 

I didn't notice one in my local smyths today. They had a hordak, evil Lyn, ninjor, and all of the skeleton & he-man.

 

Give Smyths a go but look up that wave and if you didn't see many of those... from memory that wave was hit and run.

Edit - She-Ra, Merman and Zodac were that wave.

 

They had Merman, Evil Lyn, Fisto, Faker, Hordak, He-Man and Skeletor, none of the others. I lifted up Hordak and was astonished by how heavy he was. Chunky fella.

Should have bought Trapjaw months ago when he was on amazon, love the look of him. As of now my main wants are Man-E-Faces, Roboto and Trapjaw, maybe Hordak too. After that perhaps a vehicle, fully down the rabbit hole...

 

Try Amazon for all those, some were in stock just recently. Straight up, don't wait any longer on any Origins figure that catches your eye. They don't stick around. GNT, Toysarama... let me know if you're stuck on any.

Just read Fraser email...





Expectations duly adjusted.

 

Yep, I noticed that with HOF too which is why I ordered Earthrise Prime from Comics as well. You don't seem to be able to cancel the order with HOF either.

 

Ah, Mike Ashley...

 

It’s a real shame really because a lot of the mainline Tf shows, in my opinion anyway, have been great. Cyber Verse is awesome and Prime and RID2015 still hold up, they all do good stories, character progression and have good animation on Transformation action

 

I'm quoting the below from the uk sightings thread in here as a heads up galvatron has landed / is landing at various independent stores.

Having got my galvatron from Toysarama last week he is well worth it. Don't miss out on him.

Very easy to remove battle damage on and not to challenging too fix the shoulders.

For those still on the fence have a pic of mine to persuade you. The Matrix stand is a nice touch, shoulders fixed and battle damage removed.

 

After a lot of work and wait, I finally completed all "normally" released Armada molds.
Just in time for Canada Day.

 

Ultra magnus could be an easy win. Either he's a white prime or diaclone colours.

 

He’s stellar right?! I picked up the isopropyl alcohol (91%!) but I haven’t actually taken it to Galvatron yet.

I’m a bit nervous, since I’ve never used it before. All the how to vids I’ve seen have used a generous splash of it. How did you go about doing it on yours mate?

 

Every day, The Day Today.

Now it's time for me to find out if I paid for an import one OR will I have to wait until September???

Fox's Rounds and those Viennese Sandwiches are indeed god-tier but there IS one mightier - the half-dipped triple chocolate cookie.

As for Oreos, I need something bigger than Double Stuff. I usually get three Double Stuff Oreos, peel the biscuit bits off one and one side of the other two and make a triple double stuffer.

Anyone had one of the Jaffa Cake Doughnuts yet, Jonuts? Highly recommended!

 

That selects galvatron looks tasty. Think I'll be leaving the stickers off mine though. Glad he doesn't have battle damage. It's funny, i don't have a grey galvatron at all.

This is the main reason I've never done it yet. It always goes wrong when i try to use chemicals on a tf. But if there was a clean galvatron, i absolutely would grab the purple version.

 

I’m still unsure why they didn’t do Galvatron and all his cronies in SS86. He looks perfect without it, although I saw someone said that they pretended it was light reflecting onto him from the Matrix and that was clever.

I might try on a figure I don’t really mind ruining first, like the Siege Lambo mold. If I screw up Red Alert then I can always use that as an excuse to get the Earth mode versions.

 

That is... a lot of stickers for a premium toy. *squints* Even his helmet crest is a sticker. Eh...

 

YUCK. Those POTP cheap-ass stickers will be staying in the box along with the 'railguns' thank you very much. I think I'll need two, though, so I can paint one into Marvel colours.

Also, they couldn't be arsed to give him silver knees and a red lower torso/belt area but they did decide to give him a purple crown that the original toy doesn't have?
