    I'll check my local comic store tomorrow, they had some in stock last week and don't tend to sell out quickly but try to keep stuff for local customers.

    Edit: FYI - the cost would be about £55 + postage.

    I started typing it out, realised and thought 'sod it' :lol 

    As ever a scholar and a gentleman....

    Thank you kind sir! Please let me know if any joy, really appreciate that :thumb 

    No local comic shops or the like to me, a toy master at junction 32 other than that its Smyths but he's not showing on their site at all.

    Just seen an ad for this on Facebook ...
    Now I'm a very dubious and sceptical person so this coming out or to consoles seems a little fishy and the trailers mention NFT's and blockchains (seriously WTF) .....

    but wouldn't it be amazing if someone could take this and use the TF license and make something akin to the WfC/FoC games :D 
    That was a special time in TF gaming, not the crap we get now.





    (apologies on the raw links I've yet to figure out how to just URL encode my links lol)

    Some Lads have arrived from C&C.

    Bit busy at the moment, so I will wait until the weekend to give them a proper opening. Might sneek in an early Gnaw.

    I dunno, commander class Fort Max and Scorponok seem likely to me at some point.

    Maybe Max more than Scorpy?

    Anybody else finding batteries these days don't just run out of juice but stop because they've leaked? Seen it quite a bit recently with multiple brands :eek: 

    Maybe something to be wary of with old toys.

    Hasbro hates us all. My mind won't be changed on that until we get a Bus Former. And cake.

    Cheers chick ;) 

    :eek:  Cheeky sod. True though...

    Don't suppose any of you lovely lot have a spare Powerlinx Armada Prime leg missile? I need one to complete a figure to keep a customer happy as I'm a dumbass and didn't check the leg before selling it.

    Have any of the D&D fans on here checked out the latest video by Corridor crew - using their CGI skills to make an immersive series of campaign videos?

    Amazing work, just excellent stuff

    I'm trying my best to petition them through my friend for a Bus Former and a proper go at Pretenders.

    I think I'm slowly chipping away at Hasbro's resolve. (Or my friendship, it's definitely one or the other ;) )

    Wouldn't a Bus Former get Hasbro into that promised land of a Transformers x Fortnite collaboration?

    Have you got an image of one, Sid? I have a pile of A/E/C missiles that one may lie within from when I went mental buying Energon weapons for customising (and the purple General Galvatron Megatron Tank weapon I got to be Brunt about 10 minutes before the Siege lad got announced :rolleyes2 ).
    The hat should go off to @Onibaku_Rave/WeAreVolcanicus!

    I have owned MMC Boreas for a few years now and have JUST figured out a way to make his backpack for Cyclonussy.

    I am not smart.

    I mean, it’s a good job I have a sense of humour considering I lost my mum very suddenly on Christmas Day nearly 7 years ago.

    Yeesh.
