    Re-use seems to be where we're headed. Buzzworthy Bumblebee looks to have only been the start! :oops:

    Thanks to all for the help with my question ‘which Titan to go for?’

    As a result, the question has changed to ‘Which Titan to go for first?’

    Aaaand - I think the Black Zarak while he’s on deal seems a great choice - will hope to order tonight/tomorrow if not too late!

    I’ll then try to land a Fort Max by August for his birthday, if I can score one in good enough condition for under £200.

    Next up would be Trypticon if a good deal lands on my lap, if not (and I don’t expect one tbh), probably aim for Metroplex, again, good enough condition for under £300, if possible.

    If the good deals for price points I’m hoping for don’t show up, I’ll make do with pulling some of the smaller base mode leader class guys in to build onto each other (got Powermaster Prime already). I can 3D print extra connectors/platforms and floor sections (or rather my cousin can) to beef them up and add 5mm ports along for runway gun emplacements. Thing I wear has free files for them, hopefully they work.

    I think I’ll avoid the Ark entirely - it’s a great price and looks reasonably fun as a Titan robot, but just not enough play space on it for the specific purpose of playset.

    Had a four hour TF session with him yesterday that flew by (ramshackle base being overrun by dinosaurs, only Magnus and Elita one left standing, Alamo style) and I really watched how he interacted with it all. It’s was such a blast And gave me a steer on the above purchase order.

    Also, let him watch Scorponock review on EmGo and he said he didn’t love the colours, wished it was a scary black (!) and could he ride it like a horse. Seems like a full endorsement for Black Zarak to me (except the horse bit maybe).

    anyway, thanks for all the in depth advice, insights and suggestions about each of the Titans, price points, strengths and weaknesses
    In various modes etc.

    I have a literal ‘game plan’ and I appreciate the help.

    It's a fantastic video. All companies should do them just like that.

    And the figure looks bloody good too. Can't wait for Omegalock to get the stock in next week!

    And I think that it's due to such poor manner and ignorance that so many of us refer to them as Hasblow. I hope, once they've wiped their tears from their eyes, they take a moment to reflect.

    Intercepted.

    Nice one, Brendan. I'm glad you're taking the right steps to look after yourself!

    I think it's pronounced 'Unique Ron'

    Hah, it's quite possible we did. I lived in Eden Terrace and it was all too easy to find myself suddenly in my car headed down that way. Always loved Canton Cafe as well, and even worse that was just a short walk from my place. Never found a place that does black chilli chicken like they did there.

    Not enough likes possible for any Freddy / TF Crossover.

    Took the OG Winnebago on my walk this morning. Looks good with Autumn Colours!

    He's a bugger to get balanced until you figure out the secrets, then he's stable. Behold, Starscream in the correct colours! Seriously takara, what were you thinking inverting his colours on the mp?

    Hey guys, before I go to Bubble N' Squeak toys (and I'm very close to that) does anyone have a TLK Leader Class Dragonstorm complete (not necessarily boxed) they want to get rid of?
    Ta very much.

    I would most definitely be up for some more retro carded 90's X-Men. Not a fan of cel-shaded figures tbh.

    I lived here.....

    Very nice. Is that the KO? Looks fantastic. Might need to bin my LS-04 Star Adjudicant (OSKO SS Starscream) for this one you got.

    Ouch. Just north of £90 for Runabout. Bonkers! You need some luck getting that figure and at a sensible price.

    Thought you were sampling more eateries before arranging another meet up venue. Realised this is the toy shop. Been a while since I bought from BnS. Sorry I cannot help with the Dragonstorm figure. Can @Braddock ?

    In the UK thread "TFW" means Thunderwing Fanboy Wankers! :lol 

    I have posted this Croc O' Megs in Radicons to pretend I actually achieved something today...

    Haha.

    Maybe the next car boot fare will yield the rest of Dragonstorm for him/you.
