    @Insurgent

    He is probably a bit bigger than a combined figure mass wise, but roughly a foot or so in height. 67D25F51-D894-4170-AA7A-2BFC633BAF8B.jpeg 7879BD5E-8AC0-464F-A252-4259CF248EA1.jpeg CD335524-9EF0-4BB8-98DA-DFF33F495774.jpeg

    Totally agree, and they actually keep changing the total on the 4 pack. Like wtf. Who is doing their currency conversion? Mr Kwarteng?

    I'm waiting on Grizzlor and Wun-Dar so I'm not exactly thrilled, and that's before we get to Moss Man who is some sorta BS exclusive in America. Just as multiple outlets here were told they wouldn't be getting the Teela/Zoar pack.

    I would seriously consider un-backing Eternia, personally. If the muppets charge you customs for that thing getting the money back (on top of £809 already paid) would be no joke. Plus thinking about the next few years... you might even struggle to sell it without a bottom line loss.

    Thanks. Going off Puffer there, Dez is probably around CW combiner in height. Yeah, that'll work, as I think VS is about that height. So if I were to ever upgrade to a proper Dez, I think this would be the way to go. He does look really nice.


    In other news, just picked up KFC Ramhorn and Steeljaw. I know they're not meant to be great, but all the other main cassettes in my classics shelf are in mp form and those two being in their G1 toys in cassette mode sitting on Omega's knees just aren't right.

    You aren't making this self-control lark any easier Jon.

    I am fully hoping someone does him on sale on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

    Original versions. As far as i know, the new ones aren't out yet and would end up being more expensive probably. They're not posted yet but I'll post pics when they turn up.

    Flagship Edition is I think the first, bigger version of Robosen OP at 19" tall, as opposed to the recently announced 'Elite edition' which is downsized to 16", and I assume some function simplification to boot?
    If Galaxy Shuttle is an indicator, then chances are he may be pretty pristine out the box, and long term will be the question! He remains Schrödinger's Saber until he starts landing in-hand.

    @DeadBiscuit,
    Cheers for that, certainly something that might be fixed for the new run but I'll be extra careful once it arrives just in case it hasn't.

    I have 3 spare Deathsaurus slots available, PM me on the Starsaber chat if interested. :) 

    You must stop with this enablement!
    I've got a Bombburst shaped hole in my life and this isn't helping! ;) 

    I'm definitely down to grab some of these on sale next year. Hope the movie does well too!

    Hit me up in a PM :) 

    In other toy related news I was at MCM comic con and had a look at the new stuff

    Had the chance to transform Motormaster into his Menasor form today (although I didn’t have much time to play with him, what with 2 kids under 5 bouncing on the bed, etc), and wow is he sturdy! 549D564F-FCB2-4CD0-924C-D3CA69D7D73D.jpeg
    I even got him lined up with my CW (knock off) Superion. 3D361DF0-1277-40BB-B10B-DC4FE30F67DA.jpeg
    I don’t think they look too bad next to each other, although I do think if I put my PE feet on Superion they will be closer in height. My aerialbots are permanently displayed in this mode, and I really can’t see them being replaced any time soon, but this Menasor does look so much better that the CW one I have, even if the legs have the cars the wrong way around.

    Just saw the photos, pretty rad!

    Am not at all unhappy about the re-use of Cyberverse Deluxe Shockers as didn't get one the first time. If any of the new ones are as good as Slaug I will be very happy.

    Lio Convoy looks the ticket alright!

    If anyone is still at comic con, and they’re going past the IDT booth if they have legacy wave 3 available could someone be a hero and pick up an Armada Starscream or Beast Wars Inferno for me? They’d hinted they’d got some special bits for sale. Both if possible?

    They’d got Tigatron and Waspinator last year at Birmingham before they were out domestically :)  also had SG screamer iirc but I think that had just landed.
