    dont see anything wrong with this myself. Smyths have both versions anyway. and you can see the shoulders from outside the box. if it was something hidden that might lead to another collector getting it home and being disappointed, then that's another thing. id say its only about 5% sneaky

    I was quite fortunate to have a small collection of these back in the day, my parents would treat me on our trips to Trago Mills in Newton Abbot (which was the only place to find ‘em!)

    I had one of those, which I'm fairly certain came from Trago Mills while on one of our annual holidays to Devon/Cornwall!

    (Oddly, the only time I remember seeing the Wheelie minibot wave in the wild was while on holiday on Cheddar. Clearly it was some kind if robot promised land down there! Alas, I wasn't allowed to get any of them though...)

    Look, I'm not obsessed with Transformers... What else is there to do when you are wide awake at 5:30 ,but look online for a UK appearance from Waspinator, Shadow Panther & Pipes.

    And this made me laugh, the new Spin Master Batcave playset when folded up

    Ah yes, I think this is where I ordered those little Moomin figures from a while back. But I've never seen it, having not been to London in forever. And I don't think I've ever actually been in Camden Market, just past it with a shudder at the inherent chaos found within. I shall have to make a beeline for it when I finally gather up the courage / time / funds to make a visit to Lunnen Taan again.

    Imagine working there. Someone asks you what you do for a living?

    "I'm in Moomins."
    "What?"
    "I'm. In. Moomins."

    It's so weird, but while I won't be putting many of those stickers on, I'm really starting to love the purple crown on him. It gives his headsculpt a real pop. And every time I start wondering if I really need a Greyvatron, I see that green matrix and remember that I can't miss that out. If, by the time I'm ancient and dessicated, Hasbro finally release a Thunderwing, his matrix needs to be waiting for him.

    I'm starting to like that crown too. I think the only stickers that really bug me are the red upper chest ones because they're so much larger in context than the G1 figure (and I'd totally forgotten he had a rifle).

    I've ordered 2 of him so there's definitely a chance I'll put the stickers on, hate the fucking things as I do.

    Slightly more than I was hoping to pay, to be honest. That's £780 for the full combiner!

    Oxfam is currently a Moomin colony. We sell a ludicrous amount of Moomin stuff! We have everything short of the plushes & figurines, and that's only a matter of time, I'm sure...

    (I have many fond memories of Camden market. I spent way too much time in the area as a young goth!)

    Oh yes, I'll have to have that. Tried their ravage in my last tfsafari order but they were out of stock. Can't miss a tm1 megatron. Articulated dino fingers even!

    Fired an email to pulse support about payment issues. Hopefully they can sort it out. Shame they don't take paypal.


    Camden market wasn't too chaotic. But it was a friday lunchtime. Bigger than i thought it would be. Wife proved herself a master by getting nearly 50 quid knocked off a large leather handbag. The shop person played her hand too early by knocking some off too near the start, showed she was desperate to sell.
