    APC Toys Demonic Whisper in the house.

    Seems to be just an upscale of the Deluxe but with added tentacles, which is actually perfect for me.

    I was wondering where that Magnificus had got to! I can’t remember which threadizen theorised it (that’s easy for you to type!), but the Hasbro-Dumping-Stock to clear warehouse space for ROTB sens ever more prudent….

    Royal Mail are adding a little mystery into my life - had an email from they saying Tarn and Breakdown were being delivered Wednesday, then a second email saying the same parcel will be delivered today.

    I have a sustpcioin that they might be a sister company of Transart (purely going off the box art design). If thhe Prime releases are anything like the Transart Transmetal releases then they should be a real treat

    Aaaaah. OK. Going to need to take a breather with this one and probably watch a couple of vids, too. It's like they set out to make the transformation as fiddly as possible.
    It'll be interesting to compare it to the MMC one when that arrives, as I've heard mostly good things about it.

    Yep - I watched him go to the door and put the card through. I guess reflections in the window or where I was standing meant he couldn't see in.

    Defo complain to parcelfarce... clearly couldn't be bothered.

    and it's XTB - they are trying to out FT FT themselves with the fiddle! Navigant is much simpler

    I guess it depends on how likely you are to get caught, the place in that video was wide open and desolate, where mine is it's very built up.
    Wouldn't dare try it!

    Dammit, I've cracked and pre-ordered the Diaclone Hawk Versa Salter from Amazon Japan. Just too Eagle like for me to pass up.

    Was going to take a punt on Bombusbee, but all their pre-order slots have gone, ditto Hobby Link Japan.

    So I blame you lot for giving me ideas above my station. Had Combiner Wars legends Rodimus arrive today (not great, but there you go) and, getting him ready for stickers, I painted the wheel-rims silver. I then had the idea that the spoiler would fit and look better without the axe handle, and thought 'Sod it, it's only a legends toy, give it a go. Cut one half off, perfect, looked good. Messed the other half up mightily. Still looks better than it did, but any tips on minimising the damage (other than getting another cheap and doing it properly)?

    IMG_1279.jpg

    Ooh, that's nice!

    [EDIT: God, that photo looks awful blown up. Sorry. Basically the cut is rough and has removed some material from the top edge, ie the exact place you wouldn't want it to happen. I am an idiot, and this is why I never try customising anything! :) ]

    That’s great - ta!

    Do it! And the cast it and send me a copy? No, I’m not biased.

    Bummer :(  fingers crossed for a simple outcome.

    Looks ace

    Really want to like the S7 stuff, and this is the best I’ve seem one look.

    Glorious!

    I wasn’t keen on drag strip so didn’t think I’d like DE, but he’s been a real grower for me (er, as in, he’s grown in my affections)

    Tbf committing to modern-match 90s toybiz would be a borderline insane decision! Will keep an eye out for pics though!

    Also, bah, ran in this morning, got into the office and then found my bag zip had worked itself open and wallet gone > ( Queue cancelling cards, applying for new drivers license, sorting out a locksmith etc… grrr fukin fukin grrr
