    Seige Jetfire is Commander class. For mainline figures, he's a big lad

    Siege Jetfire.

    Order now before it finally goes out of stock and prices skyrocket. Smyths had a late re stock along with titan omega supreme due to covid delays.

    He is undoubtedly (well in my view) the best official transformers figure ever released. The G1 anime accurate version we have always wanted. Not just that but he is great fun, solid, actually fun to transform and with loads of play features...

    Airwave and Ironworks are great fun, Brunt is amazing, the Commander class Jetfire is monstrously big for a modern figure, and am quite excited to get the evil version soon. Great goals!

    Just looked that Jet Fire up - he’s perfect. Might need to add him to the top of the hit list!!

    I just got the demand from errr In Demand earlier, so pretty stoked about him. He is an evil scientist and that ticks many boxes for me. Just hoping he retained the faction switch so he can properly be a Decepticon

    that’s beyond amazing.
    I’ve utterly blown my TF budget and probably Christmas goodwill too so unlikely I’ll be able to grab one for a while. Ah well, can’t complain given the fabulous haul as noted above!

    Sounds as though TFN is going to be on this year, albeit with some pretty hefty safety rules. Hopefully they're not limiting places too much...

    I think No Way Home will clear up a lot of this, with all the reality warping and dimension hopping. I may be a bit cynical, but I reckon it's going to end with Peter locked out of the MCU, trapped in Sony's little bubble. Forever doomed to be rebooted over and over until they get it right.

    They will never get it right.

    I think if history has proven anything it's that I have Optimus Prime's best interests at heart.

    Hey remember that time I had him get a vision of himself as a corpse? Good times.

    Lovely! Is that the MMC one?

    Don't know what you mean.

    Me neither. I ended up with an absolute pile of bots over October (Botober) and still with Greyvatron and Goth Jetfire on their way I think I'll be fine for a while. Unless I see an Evac for a good price...

    ... really? Last I heard it wasn't going to show before December.

    My credit is shot to fuck so that's unfortunately not an option :S

    I want the Barry Sheene one as I was a massive fan as a nipper.

    Definitely Hound as I have the upscaled version...unless it got reused for someone like Crosshairs or one of the Dreads.

    RIGHT KIDS.

    Sacrifices must be made for Soundwave.

    Is there any interest here in the following -

    United Lugnut - Complete and mint but no box (Bought new and just displayed on a shelf out of sunlight ever since) - £100

    iGear PP05W Weapons Specialist (Ironhide) - Complete and mint (Again, bought new and shelved) with all accessories and guns etc unused in plastic tray but no box - £45

    Generations Drift - Complete but loose and mint - £50

    Generations Scourge x 3 - Complete but loose and mint - £15 each


    Non-Transformers stuff -

    DC/Vertigo Y: The Last Man #1-60 (Full run) all bagged and boarded in VF/NM - £120 (A damn sight cheaper than eBay!)

    Mezco 18" rotocast comic-book Hellboy - (Cloth trenchcoat, rosary, gun, holster etc all present) - Loose and slightly dusty as has been shelved since bought new many moons ago - £100


    Still sifting through stuff but this is the stuff I feel like I can let go of right now. HMU if you're interested. :(

    Megalo FTW
    True story: I had to take Megalo out of the box to use its packaging as storage for Micron Booster v4 blind boxes.

    I would hope that full double vaccination and lateral flow tests will be enough to stop any spreading. Do hope TFN goes ahead, I really missed it the last two years and me and @nemisispringer have a load we need to shift

    Silicone sealent and acetone definitely isn't a winner, tried on a spare IF gun. Melted the part and the mix wasn't the right consistency to get into the details. RTV silicone on order

    Does anyone have suggestions for a new name for Triggerhappy's Titan Master? I already have several Blowpipes in the form of the Battlemaster and this is just confusing xD
    Kind of wondering about something Deadpool related as the head makes me think of Deadpool. Annoyingly Deadhead and Motormouth are already taken it would seem. Though Deadhead is some obscure comic character.

    have you considered Sky Lynx? only £58 from Game, has a base mode and is just one of the best toys of the last few years, especially at that price.
