    Always love it when people acting like plonkers accuse anyone who disagrees with their conduct of being trolls. Especially when it's a large number of people arguing against that one person. Make you think.

    Let's not mix things. If one person insults others, it's understandable to fall into a one-vs-many argument. You, on the other hand, displayed the traits of an abuser, and cherish "not being that guy". I encourage you to work on your insecurities before your Anthropology viva.

    I received AWave this morning. Avoided import vat/charges. Very happy with it so far. Just eaten and will have a crack at transforming the figure after my son is in bed.

    Have you had time to check over AWave?

    It makes me think, not to kinkshame, that there are some folks who get off on public shaming.

    The imminent arrival of the Unicron reformatting Galvy has me really questioning the Selects one I have on order... Do I really need 3? (especially as the selects one looks a bit naff with stickers on).

    There also seems to be quite a lot of stuff arriving over the next month. Need to either get a move on selling stuff or cancelling stuff.

    As much as it pains me to say it, I've had more fun with motu origins than recent transformers. 20211118_114914.jpg 20211116_132545.jpg

    @Genodectes - totally mate! I liked hearing what khan said about Cornette recently. The guy should give booking advice or something. I really think it would help AEW.

    @bcm77 - It’s interesting when you think about it. I enjoy his pod but there must be some people listening to it just to get offended to harp on about it on Twitter or whatever.
    Good for him I guess - Easy money!

    Considering I've we've been waiting for the Selects Greyvatron for aaaaages I'm starting to get a little antsy, certainly if the Reformatting one ends up in peoples' hands first, as is likely.

    As for stickers, I'm going to be very cautious with them. He generally looks better without, methinks.

    I'm thinking the same :( 

    Were any of the independents offering pre-orders ?

    IDT maybe?
    ...

    So the paint is actually worse in some cases than standard Origins (see Stealth Trooper's chest) but it's still a heck of a set for me personally. FYI, the exploding Trooper gimmick doesn't really work because of how it's held together. Just in case you'd been wondering like me!

    Good shout !

    Edit: Just checked and they are down for November/December now too.

    I have a strong suspicion that we're seeing fallout from the ROTB delay you know.

    You've got this one, the sudden announcement of Pipes/Slammer and I've always found it a bit weird there were no pre-orders for Blaster. I know Hasbro are turd for distribution anyway, but this all seems ...... last minute ..... even for them.

    It wouldn't surprise me if more are brought forward from March.
