    I don't think it's an eBay issue really. There were others of the same item on there, but located in other countries. So it must be a quirk of certain IP ownership rules and how individual companies set up commercial agreements

    That's why he's at the back of the queue behind redwing and possible G2 concept ideas

    Knowing exactly what I'm like with money I'll most likely take the £50 hit and get the RR one as I'd rather just have him than wait, get distracted, buy something else, then miss out entirely.

    Allegedly the pic is pre-VFX but it just doesn't look right at all to me. He doesn't look real and the hoverchair looks like it's from something else. HOWEVER, there's been a rumour going around for a while that there's going to be a Rogue TV series so just maaaaaaaaaaaybe.....

    I think there are a few folks who are just a bit too keen for the X-Men to get shoehorned into the MCU? Seems to me Multiverse, Kang, and the Celestials is a pretty full plate already, yeah? Marvel/Disney really don't have to rush it do they?

    Ha! Just struck me that phrasing reads like a Nerd Death's Head! :lol

    The usual offerings of malt-whiskey and deflowering virgins under full moons is getting me a Blue BlueStreak (he's relatively blue) and a similar diet WILL get me a Siege Sunstorm. 1632428712030.jpg

    It will happen.

    Blind ones?
    Ones who despise Hasbro and Mattel and refuse to buy the co-existing superior product?

    I think it's quite telling we haven't had any repaints of the Earthrise original seeker trio yet. They're coming!

    I want them to do SG Dirge, or a 'G2' Dirge using the SG Dirge colours. His colourscheme will go wonderfully next to G2 Ramjet

    Hurm, beginning to suspect today is not extra Fossilizers day after all, as it appears the Wandering Yodeller (or his van thieves) has now turned off the ol' GPS as Tracking only shows my location, and continues to assure me they are 9 deliveries away.:sly: 

    Thought I'd try the chat function to let 'em know not to bother with a Friday attempt the one time it seemed active, and once I'd put in my info it said "No operators available", then the chat button did a Winehouse and went back to black "Sorry no one is available". :lol 
    Ah, well, I had a good Yodel run there for a bit!

    Big Spoon! has it been a while? or maybe I've just missed your posts recently. Hope all is well

    I wouldn't mind a G2 Starscream, but it's so close to regular starscream it's probably not worth it.

    As somebody who has all but given up on superhero movies I would put decent new X-Men and Fantastic 4 movies pretty close to the top of a list of things I'd still have some intrest in seeing, if not right at the top along with more Deadpool, Daredevil and Kingpin being introduced in a Spidey movie and live action Squirrel Girl.

    Shang-Chi and the Eternals somehow managed to get their own movies and giving the charisma vacuum that is MCU Hawkeye his own series already makes me feel like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel so I think it'd be huge step in the right direction for the X-Men and Fantastic Four to be back on the big screen ASAP.
