    Payday today, so that means paying off this months purchases. Which looks to be only XTB Hauler on the old release schedule.

    Though KFC Kingorilla and Kingzilla are apparently coming soon. I think it may be best to purchase them now. With Bombusbee sale code and saved points its nearly a £90 saving compared to Omegalock

    If anyone in the thread is looking to fill an MP Optimus Prime shaped hole on the shelf, TE-01 can be yours for £90 posted.

    This thread is still the best in the whole damn site. You guys are awesome.

    In less mawkish news: a drop of superglue into the hinge, then 5 minutes of constant working the joint means that Grimlock now has a suitably secure tail-piece in dino mode. Previously the butt flap just dropped onto the table occasionally.

    Very pleased to add this chap to the collection today. He is spiritually way more Brave than Transformers though.

    Anyone have much of an opinion on Master Made stuff? The G2 devastator seems reasonably priced on BBB at the mo and I'm looking for an excuse not to be tempted...

    Got a shipping notice for the first part of that battleship combiner, so that should be fun when it arrives.

    Also nearly tempted by Dx9 Sixshot and Blitzwing... Why are there so many good bots around?

    I think it’s a shame Takara didn’t take a crack at Road Caesar in the aftermath of Combiner Wars.

    PAK figures are towards the 8-9 inch range, even bigger than the McFarlane stuff

    There's a ko version- KBB pc-17 out there too. Seems to be out of stock at usual places sadly. I think I got mine for something like £15 delivered, but this was likely pre-2020 when the world was a much nicer time to be alive......

    Interesting....

    Shuttles are easy... what about a sub?

    Niiiiccce.

    Me too. But the cw adherence to the 5 combiner set might have made for more liberties. A haslab one on the other hand....

    I wonder whether they could have done the arms as drones, if they’d taken a few liberties with Blacker (from perhaps Onslaught) they could have had them store on top.
