    Yes; I have in addition to the ones I mentioned before (from memory) But I'll have to double check. 2 Centurions (wish I had more), 4 Brunt, 2 Aragon, 3 Cromar, 3 Six Gun, 2 Zetar (i'd like 4), 3 or 4 Cog, 4 Airwave, 2 Hothouse (might get 4 of them if I can find more), 2 Greasepit (again I might get 4) 2 Ironworks (I need to remember to buy a couple more), 5 or 6 Black Roritchi, 6 Fast Track, & 0 of the Botopolis set :( 

    4 Is a good number for the Base mode ones I find to make city displays, and 3 to 5 is also a good number for custom combinations. I just bought a load of Fast Track as the Japanese Cartoon considers him a generic warrior & I have a plan in the back of my mind that I can bodge up some sort of nutty amtrak vehicle out of a few of them.

    Some of them make exceptional double and tripple robots especially Paleotrex, Cog and Wingfinger. It doesn't hurt they they seems to suggest they few kinds that are on the Netflix cartoon are not individuals really too.

    I wonder why they never produced one of those generic Blue Autobots for the Cyberverse line, especially as there is something similar in the netflix cartoon too. There is a few others I have duplicates off too - but usually for other reasons entirely Like with Gnaw.

    I might buy some more Wreck Gars but that is dependent on what upgrades get made for him to turn him into other Junkions.

    The poor QC on Gnaw really bites.....

    Took me 2xSmyths with fresh cases so what's that 16 Gnaw to get a really good one and it's still not perfect.

    I actually bought that Shockwave in Tesco of all places - why Tesco has a con exclusive pop I have no idea !

    I had the same thing before and when the orders arrived they had different return address on them. So it looks like Pulse has more than one location.

    Just scored MOTU Origins Ram Man from Mr Bezos for £17.90 so I'll be able to bring the legendary (in my head) tag team of Ram Fist together very shortly! :D 

    Also found an ebay seller with custom t-shirts for Mattel WWE figures at £3.89 each so will be getting the following,

    "Hulk Rules" for the upcoming Elite Survivor Series wave Hulk Hogan ( The figure comes with one which "tears" with the velcro but I want a normal one. )
    NWO logo for Ultimate Edition Hollywood Hogan ( See above.)

    They told me on the 5th that Rodimus was due this week, so (after saying it was due in 2 weeks about 6 weeks ago...) so I'll see what they say at the end of the week, and then maybe cancel it.
    I've got a couple of the 40k figures on my big preorder with them. Dunno if/when any of that'll turn up. I was definitely silly to put a big preorder of stuff in at once, but if it comes through it works out decent value, so that's something at least. And if it doesn't come through, well, that'll be annoying but not the end of the world.

    Of all the versions of those two moulds I've got, the SG Prime and Ratchet ended up the best QC (in fact, all of the gen selects have been good bar the vehicon and breakdown set) so I had high hopes. Fingers crossed SG Megs the Second will be better...

    Yeah, that appears to be what happened. Other two parcels arrived separately.

    Brilliant, cheers!

    My OP was a disaster, excess plastic and paint in far too many places including his head.

    Any of the 40k Mcfarlane figs you ordered with Sonners available to you via Comics / IDT / Kapow in their sales? Might be worth a consideration.

    I’ve just got that Space Marine Lieutenant in limbo with them. I don’t think they are going to get it in.

    That doesn’t bode well. I’ve waited this long so I will see out this week and start the refund process over the course of next week.

    Thanks for confirming they are sending a generic response rather than tailored to my enquiry.

    Hope everyone's good.

    Had an anxious couple of days. Had a call from the care home, my aunt suddenly gasping for air. She went off in an ambulance. Doctor reckons pneumonia, from food going down the wrong way. This has happened a few times as she has trouble swallowing due to her parkinsons. She's discharged within a few hours without treatment, but doctor has prescribed some anti-biotics tablets... but she can't swallow solids as she has trouble swallowing due to her parkinsons. Now its gonna take a day to get a liquid form, so in the mean time the carers are bricking themselves that she may well end up back in hospital worse than she was yesterday. I reckon the hospital must be under a lot of pressure, trying to keep beds free. Cos they obviously didn't read her notes and in the past they've kept her in for observations.

    Right, robots! With a heavy heart I think I'm gonna sell LG Black Convoy. As beautiful as she is T_T I'm looking for £50 inc delivery & fees. No box or instructions, but from what I can tell the figure is immaculate.

    Gworks has the Nonnef upgrade set with a choice of horn options but also a toy homage head as well as the sword which may be redundant for you?

    Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the hit new gameshow "Oh, SH*T! IT'S SHABAZ!!!" because, yes, my Pulse Sale Splurge is out there today?! When I saw it was listed as "expected tomorrow" this morning, I though I'd gotten away with it BUT, oh, SH*T - It's Shabaz!!!
    Currently hoping I haven't missed him, as tracking does not say "Delivered", and he's still out there mid-speedrun...
