    I ordered my Barricade/Punch/Counterpunch direct from the US Amazon site along with Shockwave, also got Spinister and Skytread that way. They showed up crazy quick too, less than 10 days from the US shipped. Couldn’t justify most of the Galactic Oddyssey boxes but Barricade and Punch were both pretty great. It’s good the Huffer repaints are at least available here though, even if the mark ups pretty high

    So 4 chapters for golden disk and we've seen listings for terrosaur, tigertron and jackpot which makes the wheeljack silhouette a bit of a mystery unless jackpot is using the wheeljack mould but that seems quite a curve ball

    @Insurgent Give that Roof what for, mate, it deserves getting a total plastering, er, unless the actual proper fix is some different method!
    I believe there has been some speculation that it could potentially be an Energon Terrorcon, like Cruellock, Divebomb, or Battle Ravage, though it is apparently the "Fossilizer" of Legacy so it could be a brand Newb, like the bonelads.
    I'm trying ta remember, there were an awful lot of Casualties that day! :p 
    I think you're right, IIRC all my GOCs came from the US.
    The Surprise UK Amazon stockings were the Blink-&-Miss-'em Coneheads, and Autobot Alliance set.

    @motorthing HOLY HASBRO ACTUALLY REVEALING SOMETHING ACTUALLY BUYABLE, BATMAN!!!

    I wonder does the Puffer/Road Rage Protrusion suggest that they are the only GDC 2-pack...

    ...or could there be core/s?
    So we know Terrorsaur, do we know the other two yet? I've reached the point now that there's so many leaks/reveals where each new bit of info is pushing an older one out of my brain!

    Evening All,

    A very big thank you to @Apollux . I received MP Star Saber from him today. Nicely packaged up. Contents protected. Quick shipping and delivery. The figure has been well looked after. I’m a very happy punter.

    I just hope that whoever Wheeljack is they sorted out his QC issues, I’ve had to get two of him and two Exhausts just to get a single viable figure between missing windshields, non functional heads, missing shoulders….

    IIRC The previous GOC sets used generic silhouettes for their next box set placeholders including the Siege 'Swipe silhouette which wasn't in any of them so Wheeljack may bear no relation to what's in the boooooooox (or booooooxes). (Which I've now remembered, with some other thread prompting, are (Terrorsaur aside) rumoured to be Jackpot (from SS'86 Jazz?), and Orange Tigatron with a Mutant Head headsculpt!)

    Yup, another trash car mode. I had to use a pen to flick his neck panel from underneath with considerable force. One arm popped off on one copy and another takes the knee whatever the occasion... shite mold.

    Also happened past your house earlier, nice work on the roof.

    Brazillian deco Twin Twist and Top Spin would be nice to have - they look nice in the various South American Colours. & they like reusing Titans Returns Moulds so it's a good way to do that.

    Also guess who just ordered off the Kapow website a few hours before they add the Ghostbusters toy grrrrr.....

    Hope you're right amigo

    I suspect Selects though apparently there will be fewer, probably because of the Walmart Exclusive "Velocitron" repaints I suspect.
    A shame the GOC homepage got scrubbed, that might've had some artefacts to reinforce the theory. Wait, hang on -

    I'm Right AND Wrong, it t'were the Cliff/'Bee Silhouette for the GOC!
    Thank you, shelfwarmers and overpriced Third Part stockist listings!
    My money's on 'Jackie just being a placeholder.

    It's... it's one of those open-top, Mars-branded fridges again, isn't it? This is why we can't have corner shops any more.

    I wonder if my delivery driver is still queuing up at a Petrol Station somewhere? Screenshot_20210927-213341.png

    I tried "update delivery instructions" with "just fucking give me my stuff" but that didn't work.

    Thanks British Isles.

    Detective Chris has solved another one

    I can neither confirm nor deny.

    Corner shops are still a thing. Many of them in this direction have the same big jars of sweets from the 80s.
