    Which idiot has two thumbs, and has probably now guaranteed there'll be the Maximal (and one Predacon) recolours he wanted for a Full Maximal Bonebiner by caving on the Hasbro ebay PURCHASE4LESS offer to snag extra BoneBots?

    Oh, you KNOWS it!

    My poor wallet, I just looked through the 2022/23 leak list...

    Only about 40 figures I want.

    No problem will do!

    Edit: Todays Marvel Legends have been snaffled up by @motorthing leaving just the Vault Guardsman up for grabs.

    Thanks everyone!

    Impossible toys spike and Daniel. They like nice, but the build quality is shite. Arms and visor pop off if you look at them wrong. And the leg on Daniel has a habit of falling to bits.

    Yeah it’s just a simple matter of a Transformers Tuesday reveal.
    Or maybe just stick something up on Insta/FB/Twitter.
    Every wave of Marvel Legends gets a proper reveal, even GI Joe gets full reveals.
    Transformers is left out in the dark

    In other news I used the discount code to grab SS86 Grimlock for £40 and Road Rage arrived from Pulse.

    And now I found that the entire concert is on youtube. Watching it again in its enterity just puts me into unreasonably good mood. You just cant remain grouchy after watching the Russian Red Army Choir sing "yellow submarine".

    So my shopping list is roughly as follows:

    Almost definitely:

    Core Spike
    Core Energon Monster
    Core Iguanus

    Deluxe Crankcase
    Deluxe Pointblank

    Voyager Armada Starscream

    If they look decent:

    Deluxe Skids
    Deluxe Prime Arcee
    Deluxe Prime Knockout
    Deluxe Energon Monster

    Voyager Bulkhead

    Only if they look spectacular:
    Voyager Blaster
    The Diaclone lads. Though if they come with human figures they become essential.

    So... a pretty average amount to be honest. Nothing in the leader class catches my eye, save the inevitable Cryotek from Dragon Megatron, but that's probably not for another year. No Thunderclash, no Thunderwing.

    It might even come to less than £100 for the whole year. I mean, it won't, because at the very least I'll end up succumbing to temptation and filling up on old Cybertron moulds at TFN again, but still.

    For me, knockout, tarantulas, infrrno, dragon megatron, sideways, tlk hot rod assuming hes a proper robot mode and not just a lockdown retool or tlk repaint, possibly fallen (heard he comes with the matrix!) And possibly aoe galvatron, depending how he looks. Also core laserbeak has me curious. I'm good with the one from soundwave though so probably won't get him (rotf ravage on the other hand...)

    So 6 defo. Not too bad. 7 with terrasaur.

    Skids, Blaster, Percy, Stunts, Sludge, Blitz etc all as good as ordered.

    SS going back to Bay-dreck means money saved for the fact Blitzwing is going to be expensive (yet again) for a fancy Voyager. It's not like they can stick Astrotrain's caboose on him and pretend that's the price point met can they........the engineering better be bloody flawless.

    If they are doing Menasor properly, will even the Commander Price-point be enough to make his bits appropriately beefy/massive if you still have to get a decent Motormaster out of it too?

    Might actually be able to skip a Titan this time. Only been saying that since 2016.

    Blimey! He's HUUUUGE!
    I love a cheeky KO and would have sprung for this perhaps if he wasn't Leader sized?
    If they'd just pumped him up from the original tiny Deluxe to a larger Deluxe or at the very most small Voyager I would have been in! :( 
    Funnily enough I popped on a combiner Wars Swindle head on the original which looks good IMO. ;)

    He's a bit smaller than a Scout. And I'm never sure what the difference is between Scout and Legends as the Scouts I own seem to be about Legends class. He's a little shorter than my Cyberverse Scout Windblade. I did post some comparison pics a few pages back.

    Come to think of it he might be more Battlemaster size?

    Awww <3 that seal!

    And I see someone got the Belzebubs Iron Lady set ;) 

    That is quite the tale! :eek: 

    And I didn't even know they had done varients of Kulture!

    She's on my to by list :D  she's actually the first one I saw but Oni Flame was the cheapest at the time and seemed a good one to try out.

    Those headsculpts sure are... something! 0o

    Sounds like a nerd

    Temptation growing...

    Where might this list be located? Or could someone copy it in here please?

    :lol 

    I'd be in a tricky position with the Fallen as I'm quite taken with using TLK Megs as my Fallen hmm. Though if the leaked list of SS figs is accurate :drunk  I'd be on the hook for most the SS6 aka Bumblebee figures.

    Leader class g2 Prime has made me smile.
    Also the fallen.
    Most of the generations stuff too. Iguanus and skullgrin are intriguing.
