    The intent wasn’t to alienate the entire UK population from this site. This thread specifically needed a lot of moderation to keep it open and at some point got to a point where we seriously had to question if it was fair to even let it stay open given how often moderation was needed. If you think it wasn’t that bad, thought we were overreacting, that’s because you didn’t see the amount of content we had to remove. Maybe you noticed some, you definitely didn’t see it all though, none of you did.

    As stated before, if you have questions about this or want to discuss this further, please PM the admins instead of discussing it here.

    So long as the rules are followed both here and in the other thread, things should be fine:
    TFW2005 Rules

    @we_are_forest Glad she’s come through, giver her a treat-o and a fuss from me!

    Absolutely on point Jon. Certainly over the last few weeks I’ve seen full on tirade posts waaaay off topic and breaking the rules, and given the shift in ‘style’ of moderation over the last couple of years, thought this day of reckoning may be coming.

    As sad as it is, it’s not really that surprising. We’ve all used it for venting and support at various points but some people do just literally dump all their crap in here almost daily and that must be a ball-ache for the mods. But hey some people just don’t care either….

    To keep this on topic, Zavvi have also got a pre-order for Blaster, about £28 I believe.

    As is standard, a lottery to whether you’ll ever get it :lol

    Who was it with a UW Scattershot missing one of the spring parts on the combiner ports, been out in the shed and found that I have have a couple of junker Silverbolts (the most complete of which is missing his lower arms)

    If you can’t get replacements that match these are available, not the white of the original but there are two so it would be symmetrical

    Welp, I caved on the US Shackwave, even if with postage it ended up similar to the base price (I think?) My plan is to see if I can get his light piping out and installed in the Siege Shockwave as I just prefer Shockwave with the red glowing eye. The rest can be spare parts for my growing stock of extras and bits for customs wot I want to do at some point.

    Speaking of, it seems last time I fiddled around with poor Leftovers the seeker I misplaced the screws for his shoulder pylons/nosecone. I mean they stay on well enough with friction but I was sure I had put the screws in a ziplock bag in the same box I have various bits such as Grimlock's original bits from when I put the upgrade kit on but nope!

    yes it was me.
    I’ve got my eye on a “faulty” Scattershot on eBay but even at minimum bid he’ll be £12 which considering Computron was like £150 it’s more money I didn’t want to spend.

    Genuinely appreciate the offer and happy to take them off your hands, depending on costs :p

    Might be a bit late but shipping for:

    1 unit is 13+ USD
    2 units is 20+ USD
    3 units is 27+ USD

    So it looks like increments of 7 USD per unit. I still haven't bought mine.

    Edit: will be up for a bit umming and urring over buying but if someone wants to add to an order I'll order.

    Recieved a confirmation e-mail from Show Z Store relating to my spare part request for TE Scorponok so just got to wait however long it takes Show Z to get the part.

    Checked my tracking info for the 2 sets of Magic Square Constructicons and they don't appear to be in the UK yet although Newage Bumblebee & Cliffjumper have been sighted at a depot in Slough which is slightly odd as they shipped after the Constructicons.

    Whilst I was at it I also checked tracking on the Newage Prowl I ordered off an ebay seller and that's also now in the country.

    And the new calendar from @tikgnat has also been posted so may be here in the morning or Monday. Cheers Kit!

    I've passed on Blaster. He looks the bees knees but got the unique toys soundmixer so all good there. Though actually i should compare size with him and netflixwave. But blaster was always a big lad so...


    Now if they do a twincast repaint, that I would snap up.

    I had an email from Kapow stating that the DNA Design DK-24 SS86 Grimlock Upgrade Kit is on the way. I’d forgotten I’d even ordered it.

    Hoping there’s some extra that goes up for general stock, I screwed up on the preorder with that one.

    Found this while I was looking for UT Soundmixer since I don't have either him or Kingdom Blaster and wanted to see what UT looked like.

    I wonder if people are still awaiting the DNA Jetwing Prime kit from Kapow. Did they ever get it in stock?

    Ah, cool. That's a good fit. For some reason, I was picturing Soundmixer a bit taller than that. Now I don't need to go get mine off the shelf to compare.

    *Goes to play with his transformers anyway

    Good morning Half-a-Thread!

    It seems overnight Amazon have agreed with me that they DO indeed have Slammer in stock, and amazingly they can complete my order by Monday.

    Well fancy that.

    SAF have also charged for some Marvel Legends, but I'll Show off about those in the correct other Half Thread.

    Huzzah.
