    Youngest had his first Nativity play last week. He's loving the nativity scene under the tree so I built a stable for him yesterday :D 

    We're missing a wise man and our donkey only has one ear so we brought in reinforcements !

    Inferno is a delight. The only slight disappointment is the butt boosters doubling as a gun. There is a magnificent upgrade kit for the gun but unsure if I can justify paying over half the price of the total figure in addition just to get a screen accurate gun.

    But it does look great.

    Undecided.

    Dialogue now in progress with Show Z Store over the Grimlock situation so I'll see how that goes.

    Newage Ironhide v2 = I don't like the alt mode as much as v1, but the robot mode is better so I could potentially get him as of the original mould I only got Ratchet.

    Not sure if Ratchet v2 has a comic head as well but if not they'll probably do another version.

    @Siege Fan,
    A cheap Mega Construx MOTU set that's actually buildable? Sold! :D 

    Escape option for Stressco = Motorcycle into the woods with local cops in hot pursuit! :D 

    I watched First Blood at the weekend, still my favourite movie of the series!

    Must actually watch the movies again, I think they're on Prime? Haven't seen them in years.

    Ha! Every bloke knows offcuts will prove their worth no matter if it takes decades :D

    Arggle Bargle. If it's not delayed xmas presents, it's family "not being able to make it" because "The car doesn't have any screenwash". Ignoring the fact they have 2 whole days to resolve it.

    Totally buggers up plans (got identical present for the 3yo, so we moved ours on and the wife is determined that this WILL be opened on xmas day come hell or high water).

    3hrs + driving on xmas eve and Boxing day looking likely.

    I saw that gun and was tempted but like you say, the price for what it is is just too much, no matter how awesome it looks.

    We will see if the enablement works still... so on the fence. On the one hand it is cybertron, which I am not going to collect, and it has a **** alt mode. But on the other it seems very posable in robot mode, and who isn't a sucker for giant robots?

    Edit: 20 years on here... bloody hell.

    First transformer for many months .. she’s pretty cool! Love the dynamic poses you can get out of her

    Only issue is her forearm seems to want to pop out a lot. Is this affecting anyone else ?

    Holiday prime just arrived.
    Could have been good, but it'll be going back because of some dodgy paint and being yellowed.
    Hasbro really need to do something about the yellowing problem.

    :lol 

    Lol. Thank you :) . It's so frustrating, as a kid I always enjoyed Christmas but as I say this time of year has a physical effect on my health which makes everything worse :( .

    :eek: 

    The beforetimes!

    We should be there by next week ;) 

    +10 for the Simpsons reference.

    I have great news for you! There's 16 more episodes to be shown 'at a later date' and it's already been greenlit for Season 2! Fingers crossed we don't have to wait too long into 2023 for Season 1B ! It's my favourite show since Prime.

    Oh hey, you've only got a little bit of time on me on here :) 

    Funnily enough, if not for the Dragonzord sized chunk of my funds pre-allocated for an early January release, I'd take a punt on Binary and AoA Rogue. I've been eyeing both for a while. Rogue looks cool and Binary I've no connection or real knowledge of the character beyond her having some connection to Carol Danvers but I quite like the look of the fig :) 

    Edit:
    I have some LEGO Weeping Angels. Weirdly they never seem to stay where I left them...


    Also, we're rapidly approaching JG1 Transformers the Movie and Season 3!!! Well. Kinda :p
