    Thanks - I figured it might be around that mark. I’ll keep an eye open and might get lucky. Reckon it’ll look awesome with SL and maybe even the Siege Jetfire alongside this (I’ll take Magnus out as he doesn’t scale at all)

    Also, my cousin is going to do some dark grey or white ‘sci fi base’ plates, so the whole thing could end up spectacular. I explained to our wee lad the game plan and he just lay down on his back smiling - like proper went to his happy place but in a good way!

    I really hope that guy comes back in stock when I have the money for him as a lot of the usual places are out of stock of him :( .

    I haven't done a top ten, but if I did. This guy would feature. Putting aside the festive theme, he's a damn fine transformer.

    I would definitely take an energon rodimus from this.

    See you in 12 months boys and girls

    It would be a cold and cynical lie if I said I hadn't wanted to do this since I bought the purple one, who, due to the pressures of fame within the music industry, refuses to use his own name, and will hence be know as 'Squiggle'.

    Oh, and I bought the 'Dinobots unite' Soundwave in Game for the cool ickle Laserbeak, and was holding off on the also ickle core class Shockwave (7 quid in Entertainer), as I didn't think he had a handle to use as a gun, did I miss that e-mail? Pew purple pew!

    Laters.

    You did indeed, Legacy Core Shockers does in fact have a 5mm "shoot me at 'em" handle.

    lovely set up! Are either of those swords available online? i assume the solid red one is the official and not available. Where did you get the transparent one from? And does it fit snugly in the hands of the big guys? Cheers

    How did you get the swords to stand up like that? I have to balance mine at the back of his base mode and it keeps falling over.

    Morning All,

    First TF arrival for the New Year. Well done Amazon Japan and DHL.

    8F651FA6-8F2F-4BA3-B0A3-A8FE9053BA4D.jpeg

    I expected the box to be slightly larger and heavier. Initial inspection and the paint work/finish looks excellent. Trailbreaker does roll reasonably well.

    Will check out bot mode later today.

    Spent New Year’s Day with my folks and my Dad is still unwell 3 weeks after being knocked for six by this virus doing the rounds. I’m aware he had both the flu and 4th covid jabs back in Oct. My brother is faring better and took just over a week to get shot of the virus although it has developed into sinus and ear infection. Antibiotics seem to be helping that get cleared up. Thankfully his young daughter is over the scarlet fever. Fingers crossed you are all avoiding the variety of germs doing the rounds.

    Yesterday my son and I helped out my mum take down Xmas decorations and the tree given my dad is still out of commission. Muggins here doing his best Spider-Man impersonation with a messed up hip going back and forth into their loft to put it all away was a challenge. Still got our decorations and tree to take down. More Spider-Man shenanigans on the horizon for me.

    On the postal front- Evri still haven’t delivered 2 parcels that they really should have given the length of time they have been in their possession. Numerous parcels in transit from ShowZ seem to be caught up with China’s increasing levels of Covid infection and hand off to Evri when that happens doesn’t bode well on current performance from them.

    Hopefully you are all getting your orders without too much delay or hassle.

    I suspect they may use the VW Bee sculpt again in red, for a Red Boby homage :)

    All the best on the illness front, Steve.

    DHL haven't budged on mine yet, so a bit annoyed. It arrived in Manchester on the 30th at 7:41am, so it should have been loaded up this morning (it still says delivery by end of today) but nothing at all to say it's out for delivery :mad:

    Nothing worse than having to remove 100s of items from ebay because there's no free listing promotional weekend for a while, and I don't want to pay 13% or increase prices. Its a good system, keep promo weekends!!!

    Anyone seen any good January sales yet?
