    As much as I hate Bayverse, I keep catching myself looking at some of the toys and thinking that's pretty cool. In my head obvs, never say that out loud. That face is rough though

    Hmm I saw Adventure 1 and 2 and Digimon Tamers in their entirety as a kid but I think those were the only ones they showed over here. Adventure 1 and 2 form one story, Tamers is it's own continuity. I gather most of the subsequent series are their own continuities though with some crossovers and I know they did an Adventure 3 for one of the anniversaries and more recently have done a remake of Adventure. I keep meaning to track down Digimon for a rewatch, and to see the other Digimon series I never saw :) 

    @Insurgent Is our Bayverse expert but from what I do know I think Movie Hound might be close? Grizzled old soldier, even chomping down on a cygar :)

    You might not be the only one thinking that!

    Maybe just maybe in the future, (say 9 years time?) after mainline/CHUG has gone through all the G1, G2, BW/BM, RID, UT, Prime and other non-Bayverse universe lines, they do Bayverse characters toys that have been G1inified in robot mode!

    After JP93 (unsellable), another stinker: Legacy Laser Prime, which left me for almost half the MSRP.

    It's been a wild, wild year for prices. At least Diaclone is the toy equivalent of Gamestop shares.

    Like the type of medical brace one might wear after getting punched in the face by g1 hot rod. Don't believe me? Ask that sharkticon...

    Me too. The number of sticker sets i haven't got because of all the extra stuff bumping the cost...

    A few weeks I'd say. Though that may be overly cautious. From what i hear, sealing it will lessen the shiny effect.

    Hound would be close for idw Kup, but the obvious answer is Ironhide. Battle hardened soldier who has been around a good while, knows his stuff, transforms into a pickup truck. And @MyTea Boc has reminded me of salvage, though he is a toy only character so you can make up any personality for him you want.

    There was, but he turned into a coin operated Peppa pig car ride for kids and he was voiced by Liza Tarbuck.

    Him and Mirage wouldn't get on, he protests turbofox hunts at the weekend, when he's not hanging around garden centres.

    Every now and then I remember I have a MISB Energon Battle Ravage from @Art Vandelay and it cheers me up.

    Is there any way, any way at all to get through to an actual human being at Evri?!
    It's all automated services going round in circles by both web chat and phone!

    Trying to find out what happened to this!

    Knock yourself out with THIS thread.

    Looking at it though, loads of them are old Photobucket links. Almost dead. I should reupload them.

    I don't recall if I ever found a way to a human back when I had trouble with packages for two threadizens getting lost... possibly if they give you options for if your problem has been resolved and keep saying no you'll eventually get put through to someone but that's based more on experiences elsewhere, I can't recall if Hermevri had that option.

    The only way to contact Evri/Hermes is by posting yourself in a box and waiting until you get to a dispatch center and popping out. This happens so often they've taken to leaving parcels at pick up/drop off locations for three days before they collect them.

    Sarcasm aside, I tried to find an email address for you as they broke a FansToys Onega Supreme on me and I actually insured it and managed to get compensation, but that was before the rebrand.

    Oh my goodness, my commiserations, I am having the same scenario with blinking Game!!
    Don't know if anyone knows a contact method for them that doesn't involve smoke signals, Ouija boards, or going through selective wardrobes?

    My current favourite TF toy is still my 'didn't need it but got sent it anyway thank you very much' spare Saber skellington, loving putting various TFs in all mech-like guv innit, sometimes I think there might be something wrong with my collecting habits...

    Have I posted this already, think I have, again? Why not? I think we're going with the band name 'Marrow 5'.

    Oh, what are these panels by the way, are they Toyworld?

    In similar news I bought the Spark Elita who I rather like actually but might have to create a slot-in hand of some sort to cover her unsightly and unladylike gun hole.

    My 50th birthversary increasingly looks like devolving me into a non-TFN noob this year, as it falls on the Saturday, but no stress,

    Laters kids.
