    Morning All,

    You just reminded me I had this delivery unopened which had been contained in its original shipping box. My wife had strategically put other items on it where it had become camouflaged. Completely forgot about it. The Rainmakers were an order from Kapow. I should have cancelled it but I didn’t. Kapow had sourced the set from EE judging by a label on the shipping box.

    I still have the Rainmakers on PO with Comics. At least I still think I do. Will need to check. Their price was a lot more competitive. I’ve paid the 10% deposit but haven’t cancelled this yet since the Kapow order came in out of the blue. If anyone wants to take this on, you can utilise that deposit and all you will need to settle up is the balance and postage for me to forward on to you. Balance details below and add £3-4 ontop for postage.

    @CZ Hazard can verify I’m good on this front like I have done for him on a Battle for the Ages set which I forwarded on recently.

    @Napalm - * How easy was it to get at the eyes of the Rainmakers to paint similar colours to their overall respective colour schemes? You did a great job doing that. I recall you posting a photo of the outcome

    They are a scam site aren't they? Pretty sure members on here have been caught out.

    Quite a convincing scam site iirc. They name the same couriers which have been linked to other scam sites previously.

    Think it's a cert. With Lift-ticket showing up, I wouldn't be surprized if he comes in a two-pack with black skids.

    Fuck. Hope whatever is wrong with your dad can be sorted sharpish man. 13 years without a doctors visit is insane.

    Or the app test. Just tried the Play Store link from that Unicron page and it just loops you back.

    But yeah Unicron for less that the Yanks paid before tax? Utter bollocks.

    Pretty easy. You just unscrew the heads and split them in half. There may be some resistance as they are held together not just by the screw but by some small tabs as well, so a small prying tool can help. And thanks!

    From doing the Starscream and Thundercracker face transplant back in the dim and distant past of 2019, I'm going to say that this should be pretty easy. There is one screw in the back of the heads that you take out and they then break up into front, back and light piping sections with a bit of coaxing.

    Also, ninja'd.

    Meanwhile I'm going the other way with a site sending me to the app, even though I'm only on the site because the app is pure wank...

    In happier news, I'm told some MOTU Eternian Guards will arrive today from IDT :D

    I hate every single person who is paying less than £250 for Scorponok. Yes he's worth it but, still, GOD DAMN YOUSE ALL TA HELL.

    FOMO is a cruel mistress. Least you know the same won't happen for Planet X Grimlock.

    Give me a shout if you need a chat @barry.

    My Pops me £20 for helping him with some PC issues so used that to pay for the majority of an Ultra Magnus from @joetele.
