    It's totally a Stoner Mark design, innit? Pure psychedelic symmetry, just a hit or two away from Black Metal band name illegibility! :lol

    That looks for all the world like a test of the fanbase.

    I just automatically assume the legs will flop with every figure now. And apart from CJ, dear love you if it turns into a car. Or alleges it does.

    This.

    Not really to my knowledge, however this is very subjective tbh.

    My impression is they've done their best within their budget to bring these characters to the generations line, retaining the spirit of the characters, but meshing their aesthetic closer to the WFC current style.

    Purely speculating here, but I know Prime and Animated were quite a few years back, but potentially not that long ago in terms of engineering improvements. So there's quite a few factors that might be pushing the team in the direction they've taken, cost, ease of retooling, fitting in with the line, reducing design time etc.

    I love the logo and design ethos around Legacy, it's very neon :) 

    Though I do hate it when people leak slides from videoconferences as it seems like an excellent way to get somebody fired. Poor CSutton from Family Dollar :(

    Shame about C Sutton, his days at Blackburn seem a long way away now. A quick question to the hive posse, some of you have seen the new Stunticon from Legacy wave one, are there pics somewhere please or have I got the wrong end of the stick.

    Popped up on Amazon, World of Books was the seller. Listed as acceptable but I'm not fussy on the condition of old books, and certainly not for that price!

    Speaking of books... £7 clubcard deal in Tesco. Young adult and still better written than the comics! Amazon sell them too.

    Great purchase!

    Deku Deals - Nintendo Switch price tracking and wishlist notifications will be your friend (along with a massive microSD card). The deals go around and around... and you have 4 years or so of some excellent games to catch up on.

    Sad that it's not more of a G1-style Metroplex, but my wallet is somewhat relieved!

    I'm thinking of sausage rolls with a layer of cheese baked into the pastry. I shouldn't have skipped dinner.

    But it's true. I want train bots, but the final price has me bumhole puckering.

    Huh. I'm not sure. I'm not out. I'm not in. I'm playing in the shallows.

    I'll dive in, I'm sure. The lure of the big Bois always proves too strong.

    I know it's a terrible photo but I can see enough of Cybertron Metroplex there to tell that it's an incredibly easy swerve for me. I do hope that future characters or size classes don't hinge on him selling well because I honestly can't see it being a big seller at all.

    New logo is VERY 'Marvel Legends' innit?

    Yup, that's all exactly what I thought.
