    It has less to do with an echo chamber, and more to do with a vocal minority (I hope) which has clinically distorted views on sexuality and women. They are victims of a dreadful, rooted insecurity which devoured any chance for personal development a long time ago.

    Yep. Pretty much this. It’s not hard to see where many younger adults develop these ideas, it’s part of a whole radicalisation process. It’s the older fellas I’m surprised by. There’s a whole section of most societies that think equality means they lose something.

    anyway, @GrahamFA - As @Xaran Alamas says, SS86 Grimlock is fantastic.

    Haha you guys are first in line if I hear anything relevant.

    Unfortunately this contact works for Mattel locally in the UK and doesn't really hear anything on the design/marketing side. Or indeed until stuff's pretty much hit the warehouse.

    Watched a review of Studio Series Brawn and he's definitely under consideration due to one of the nicest movieverse headsculpts which takes the G1 look and goes full Juggernaut with the dome which works really well for a powerhouse like Brawn.

    The Cybertronian alt mode isn't half bad either.

    @BigBlueLuke,
    Sorry your lads lost to Gollum's West Ham. I've not got anything against the Hammers as a club but for obvious reasons I despise Gollum who's now been gobbing off in the press about Jesse Lingard not getting much game time for United this season, like it's anything to do with him :rolleyes: 

    There's a simple reason for the lack of game time, he's shite :D 

    On top of that United have 2, possibly 3 (jury is still out on Sancho) better options in his preferred position so he was never going to get ahead of them, even Ole wasn't that stupid.

    The join the choir, absolutely SS86 Grimlock is amazing. The only possible downside being that he might make you want to replace the rest of them with the eventual matching SS86/Legacy set once they're all out..

    Potentially useful note, he doesn't come with the sword. Mine has the ZX Studio sword and gap fillers fitted but honestly he didn't need them that much.

    Yodel delivery day should be today, but as it apparently hasn't moved out of the depot yet, I am somewhat doubting this!

    Thanks everyone. I'm full oc painkillers so apologies for typoes everywhere! I'll try & post a bit more actively on here now that I'm mot spending half my dayvtravelling to and from Glasgow.

    Robotwise, I really love the SS Bee desohns but have nowhere to put them. Which you'd think might stop me getting diaclone repaints etc, but no. I think.Brawn at least stands a fair chance of being bought!

    Edit: See also SS Thrust. I love the Armada homage, but where on earth would I put hom?

    Oh, love the petrol station there. Does it scale well with vehicle modes? Also how do I get one?

    They're saying April. But yeah, grain of salt.

    Indeed. Sadly Hasbro didn't think to include one. Unforgivable.

    And the first Marvel Legends figure I finally open to put in the display - has 2 right feet. What a start. Return begun.

    Have we seen this yet? HYPED. I’m a bit sore Tarantulas hasn’t even been leaked yet, I can wait on Inferno but I need my core Predacons…

    This time last year had you told me I’d be buying all the Kingdom Beast Wars figures I’d have laughed at you…
