    +1 for ER/ Kingdom Arcee being awesome!

    She is currently only £10 at Smyths if you can find her.

    It was all going swimmingly with MicroMASKer DTP'ing as I sailed thru the rather extensive Thunderhawk stickers - then I got to Switchblade's canard wing decals, and figuring out how to do them was...awkward, so awkward I am now keeping an eye out in case any Cenobites turn up due to their summoning via fiendish puzzling! Ouch, my brain and eyeballs!
    They really do seem to be coming together, I'm hoping I may be able to get better detailing on my homebrews by boosting the DPI on these, as I believe that they're set at 300dpi but apparently the printer I have access has a possible resolution of 4,800 x 2,400 DPI but that is a brainache for another time, I need to finish the design and test the sizing before messing with that!

    That is pretty friggin shocking. I reckon I'll avoid pre-orders with them. :S

    Why not? I initially thought she was shitty, but I've Arcee, Lifeline and Elita all in my display because she is a great wee figure. Still not a great Transformer, but a good figure.

    Still have much love for T30 Arcee and TR Arcee.

    I can't wait to get the SS BB Arcee though, she looks great.

    I like to think, in an alternate Universe, Pipes became Prime

    And he leads the Autobots against his nemesis: Overlord (Redecoed from Flywheels)

    It's just like an AT-AT,” thought Luke, "but without my lightsaber."

    Well in the movie the advice the bots gave suggests it has a neural interface as the advice for robot mode was 'Just relax' and it seemed as though Daniel was overthinking it. Similarly to Transform it seemed to be a mental command rather than "Just push the transform button!"
    Also I think when he did first transform you can see his hands up in the helmet/cockpit part on some joysticks or something. My best bet is their arms and legs aren't actually in the Exo Suit's arms/legs and rather they're sat in the core body.

    Just wait for Buzzworth Bumblebee 2: Buzzworthier!

    I think I know where the gold one goes!

    So in a case of cosmic irony, after correctly identifying Elita's fin from someone else's post the other week, while going through one of my storage boxes I find the fin on mine seems to have gone walkabout. As I haven't had her out for a while I assumed it was elsewhere in the box but after taking every bot out it didn't show up. So either it's fallen out in my room somewhere meaning Primus knows when it will show up, or it's ended up inside one of the other bots in the box :rolleyes: 
    Of course she would be the one who has the best looking coloured fin isn't she?!

    You might be joking here, but I think there actually was a SS86 listing for Arcee that was found a month or so ago? If Cliffjumper is anything to go by very possibly a BB release but maybe with more paint to sort out her deco..

    Out there, in a truck stop down a long and lonely road, a big fat trucker has just said those very words.

    Really not looking forward to this February lull. Once these Bee Movie Deluxe guys are out next week its all quiet on the Western front until Nightbird releasing at the end of February and won't see her in hand til March.

    Really don't see Chomp or Virtus releasing until March at the earliest either.

    Oh well, maybe this Threezero Iron Man will actually come in this timeframe. That would be nice.
