    My "Arrival from Cybertron" VHS was my only regular Transformers exposure for a long time. So for me it was a shock that Hound and Mirage weren't main players alongside Prime when I got to see the rest of series one.

    Shakes fist at Bumblebee!

    Loved the D&D toon in the 80s. Dianna the acrobat did it for me ;-) I’d be keen to see if they release Venga and/or TiMatt (probably misspelt those names- my bad).

    Haha. Not sure DM would allow one to escape in that way.


    That’s what I thought when I saw that.

    At this rate you will own more TFs than FP. :p . I feel better I’m not the only one that has many purchases on the go.

    Very nice. I’m sure @bcm77 is fapping over this photo right now. :D  :eek: 

    In bot news:

    I received the Siege Rainmakers from Kapow yesterday and today, Road Rage arrived from Comics. I haven’t got round to opening any of these yet.

    I had War Duke and Paladin (?) in my random childhood toy collection, so old helmet head is getting me in the feels.

    Having gone down that particular collecting rabbit hole this morning, I've realised I also had this magnificent bastard in my collection. I believe he was mostly used to kick seven shades of shit out of my Star Wars figures.

    Ooof, far as Protoman knows (this isn't guaranteed), Hasbro let the trademarked Nautica name slip. Hopefully someone else isn't using it if that's the case.

    As an aside, I wonder if Super 7 doing Bludgeon for talksake keeps the name alive in some way for Hasbro, like is OKing use elsewhere a loophole somehow.
    ...

    N64 and Sega Genesis games come to Switch Online, but will likely cost more

    Is a subscription the only way to play these?

    Got an invoice this morning from Collectable Kingdoms for the Ultimate Editions of Stone Cold and Ric Flair :) 

    @SJW,
    My eyes are already bad enough :D 

    @Insurgent,
    Nice lineup of Classic Daleks and those from the alternative timeline ;) :D 

    My own Dalek collection is in a box with the rest of my Who figures....I have 5 of the grey & black ones as I bought extras due to being from "Genesis of the Daleks" which is my favourite story.

    I also really like the white & gold Imperial Daleks and have 2-3 different ones including the Special Weapons Dalek which was only ever seen once in "Remembrance of the Daleks".

    I'm not full completist with the pepperpots of doom as I didn't bother with most of the B&M sets and missed a few of the 80's sets when they were sold via Forbidden Planet. I have some of the 60's ones and most of the 70's ones, would love a Dalek Emperor to go with the imminent release of "Evil of the Daleks" (Out Monday) but doubt it's in CO's budget for a B&M set as it'd be a big bugger.

    Would people buy recolours of Daleks in Seeker colours? Lol

    I’m the same, I don’t have Starscream yet but I have the others. It’s because I knew a Kingdom repack was coming so didn’t need to rush to get him for fear of missing out. Now I’ll probably get Coronation Starscream

    Thanks. Most of these are from the Doctor/Dalek two packs that toys r us did a few years ago now. I did want the Special Weapons Dalek as it looked cool but never did see one in stores (one did put in a brief cameo in a matt smith episode. It didn't do anything, but it was lurking around in the background and one appeared and spoke in a twelfth doctor episode, but those were alternate timelines, I suspect you missed those appearances ;) ). Always thought that thing should have been used more, although I like the idea that the radiation from the gun made it too horrible for the other daleks to be around and the gun took up too much power to be used regularly. Haha, love the story that when they filmed it in Rememberance, the force of the explosion from it's shot caused car alarms to go off and locals nearby to call in a bomb explosion to the police. :D 

    If you fancy making it a sixth genesis dalek, these are all for sale (except the far left genesis one, that's sold and why the Daleks are all out today). I still love classic who and the modern era up to end of eleven, but time for the doctor to retire from my shelves.

    Evil of the daleks is out on monday? A full length new dalek adventure, featuring my favourite doctor and companion? Heck yeah I'm there for that!

    YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT THEY WOULD. Also, that wee lad who turns into a Dalek whose name I have completely forgotten. He was at Grindcore with the Predators in Skids' flashback in MTMTE.

    Tailgate's Pretender Shell is pretty cute! :D 

    Wow, this gives me Bayformers vibes.. cool concepts surrounded by 'ick'

    Ooh cool!

    Thunderbird 2 was always my favourite as a kid :D 

    We need a TF Thunderbird crossover already! Thunderbird 2 with pod minicons!

    Pretty wild. From skimming TFWiki myself Kissplayers seems to skim the line between ill advised borderline hentai and horror :D 

    Yes!

    Fair enough :) 

    NOOOOOOOOOO! *Shakes fist at Hasbro*

    :lol

    I want an N64 mini so badly, but then I remember that a thick slice of AAA N64 games that I loved were made by Rare, and I can't see them going to the effort to get them in board.

    Interestingly, Banjo Kazooie is one of the games shown off in the direct as coming in the future so fingers crossed for other Rare Nintendo games. Nintendo and Microsoft seem to be playing nicely at the moment so hopefully!
