This is excellent, Sir.

Question: is any third party company selling screw covers for Scourge?

 

Sweet fucking Jesus on a Michael Bay set, is there any chance e-tailers could sort out their websites?

If they're not saying your correct password isn't, you can't add to cart or the checkout page doesn't work because of reasons known only to Morpheus from The Matrix  

Top tip - if your site generally works leave it the fuck alone. You won’t be spending money to lose money then.

 

what website is it?

 

Today, Popcultcha. Yesterday it was IDT.

 

I never had trouble with IDT's website, maybe I got lucky.

Popcultcha seems buggy - I opened a new page, and the links on some of the tabs on top didn't work, while other tabs did. It must be from the same guy who made the C&C website, maybe he'll have more time for debugging next year, in third grade.

 

I second this, I replaced my Siege UM with the KO and haven't looked back

 

Yep, that's definitely a space cannon.



Yeehaw



(Effects bits are Bandai model parts)

 

Popcultcha used to be amazing, now it fucking hangs left and right since they updated it months ago. Goodness knows how much money they've lost.

It's usually log-in with IDT, or the checkout process either doesn't work or has gone through but not refreshed the page. If you didn't check your email you could easily order something twice. Especially when something limited comes along and the site's even slower!

Comics has definitely gotten way slower and you need to open the desktop version to see all the side links!

 

I wish I'd jumped on this fella when he was affordable  

 

Same.

Is anyone else kinda getting sick of the "discourse" about Galvatron's shoulders or is that just me?

 

Which bit? The raging on message boards or the ganging together "open letters" or the "I'm sick of it, absolutely disgusting and I will be furious with all 8 copies that I buy today!"

 

Don't forget the "I'm never buying HasTak again!"

 

It's really not that bad once you have it in front of you.



Unicron is really fucked now.



"Psssttt, wanna buy a matrix, fell out a truck!"

 

History has shown having a 2nd Matrix is no guarantee of success...

 

So far I’m all in on the SG stuff but this will need some thought, I don’t have Jetfire in this mold and I haven’t bought any commander based on the high (for me) cost.
This is going to be triple £££s at least and I’ve still not received the SG Blurr from pulse yet.
I supposed I’ll just preorder him and future me can blame past me for being rubbish with money.

 

Hard agree. All anyone talks about is those shoulders. No one talks about the figure itself.

Hahahaha!! I lol'd.


SG Jetfire looks nice. Don't have the seige one, so depending on cost, may pick him up as a Decepticon boot camp commander who gets a bit too involved in war.

 

Somewhat relieved as Skywarp colours Jetfire doesn't really grab me, if he'd had hints of Dreadwind in the deco though? Now that would've troubled my wallet.
Anyhoo I guess this means I'll have to be more patient about the Worlds Collide set seeing as this fella is likely this Tuesday's offering.

 

The difference between the two versions is genuinely minimal. The biggest problem Galvatron has is people's first impressions have been informed by the angle of the first photos that leaked. The misassembly on top of that brings out the crazies. As if we - the UK fans - are being singled out and given the wrong versions. People are fucking moronic.

Proportionally, it's the tank treads on his arms and the big honking cannon that actually do the job of making him appear much wider up top than he actually is. Probably needed slightly bigger feet as well. But that's a nitpick.

 

Today's arrivals and many many thanks to @4249david for the Decepticon Twins, much appreciated!

Galvy is from Comics and has the 'incorrect' shoulders  

The MOTU are for different display options and in case we ever get vehicles, accessory sets etc.

 

Speaking of Galvy, was just looking at his bizarre nemesis guns and noticed that when you put them together it looks like there's some alternate way of attaching them.



Especially as there's a big recess in that area.



There's no way to employ that combined connection on galvy that I can find so maybe it's for a planned reuse.
