    Thanks for looking. It's on this page, the red missile
    Optimus Prime (Powerlinx) (2003) - Autobot - www.tfu.info

    If I ever run a toy company, any missiles will be the same size and colour across the whole line and they'd include a spare.

    I usually select Gift that puts items in another box too.
    But as I said before My main reason for reluctantly wanting to go with Amazon as i'd have liked the brown overpackaging and not just the pretty box - like with Hasbro, But additional protection is always appreciated - but as I am likely order more than one thing - they might post them all together anyway.

    I got 4 so far - he's getting a bit harder to find now - but I expect I'll get at least 6 of them.

    3 of them makes for a really nice double robot with wings mode I think If I get 6 It might be possible to go very elaborate on the wings for a Unicron like look.m I've also been buying multiples of the other "weaponizer like" figures too.

    Which just makes me vexed I missed out on the Amazon exclusive Galactic Oddysey set. :(

    I stopped doing 'your mum' jokes to people I don't know for just this reason after the early days at school a kid had the same response!:confused2

    Sorry for the false hope, Sid, it's a bust, I'm afraid.

    I pretty much had to choose between BZ and VS and went with VS on the basis that, for one, it's just a fantastic figure but also, there's literally no other option at that price point and buying him aftermarket will undoubtedly drive up to the other 3p options (and some of those don't even have both Saber and Leo). This is by far the best interpretation of him at a honestly fair price.

    I'm betting on BZ price inflating slower than VS.

    I just had a look at the pics of regular Tigatron and I might actually give it a go.

    The additional size has filled some of the gaps that Cheetor had and seeing as how they've actually given him a gun the tail weapon being full of holes won't matter quite as much.

    Figuarts movie Deadpool is happening,
    S.H. Figuarts Deadpool (Movie Version) Figure - The Toyark - News

    After their over engineered and needlessly fiddly Mandalorians I'm wondering just where they've overthought something with Wade so I may just stick with my ML one and get the X-Force version of the MAFEX comic Deadpool instead as I love the original version.

    TBH in terms of looks he doesnt look any different from the ML versions...if you aint constantly posing and photoing him you may as well stick with the ML version...hands and articulation aside he doesnt offer much over the ML version.

    Having said that I may get him, I had to grab the 'dark and/or ash grey' single version and paint it a brighter red so it may be nice to have the best version of this character

    Yes. There's just 'Bee and Screamer available in Series 1. They were sighted by @Gingerchris early August:
    Shortly before they hit the Front Page News in early September.

    Yeah, they're the same as those blindish ones but twice the number. Can't recall who pointed them out though
