    Now if we could just be given the gen on the Buzzworthy Worlds Collide set for us UK bods, fings crossed it's not a Grotusque situation all over again!

    Also - surprise arrival! My additional 20 Shockwave's Lab Roadplates are here, now to get myself a studio apartment large enough to get Bot-citifying!

    Didn’t ID have Grotusque for absolutely ages? I know they carried Repugnus because he went on sale for a couple of weeks but kinda wish I’d grabbed them both on a whim.

    They may have but IIRC there was a sharp incline in the price after the initial £55 or so orders, then TRU tanked (was tanked with debt by Vulture Capitalists for LULZ & PROFIT!) and some supercheap clearanced ones became available to some lucky folks from a generous US-based collector, then Takara put out the Twin-Pack.

    They're like cats, mine are often perched on high places (I've got two Predakings, the other is the one with a light up mouth/eyes :D )

    It looks great, but at this point I will wait for some premium redeco from Takara. Hoping for Headmasters colours.

    Question: is CHUG Cyclonus meant to be a top tier figure? I always heard great things about it. I bought a loose and complete one for a tenner, and... it's very lanky in robot mode, and quite unstable in alt mode, if not incomplete. It definitely looked great in pictures... what am I missing? (yes, I have the targetmaster)

    Oh, I forgot about them, maybe willingly. Still, since my psychic powers failed me today in securing a Kingdom RA, hopefully they do have him

    When released it was remarkable, but that was a decade ago.

    It's Forbidden Planet International - the ones who don't have a website. I'm sure he'll turn up on .com but I couldn't say if they'll actually get him in, what with how much pot luck is generally involved in ordering anything from their site at all.

    #SakaYouDidGreat is apparently Trending on Twatter.

    If it was Italians having a joke that did it I'd say fair play for having a sense of humour :D 

    Sadly it seems to be folk acting like he lost a race on school sports day instead of being a highly paid professional who bottled it :rolleyes: 

    The Sean Connery line in "The Rock" springs to mind......in this instance Italy got to go home and fuck the prom queen.

    @Ottertron,
    The smiling head really helps sell me on a 2nd Herc as I already have the modern one.
