    That's gorgeous. Looks nearly as good as mine.

    What? :) 

    I've always liked that Rodimus figure - apart from the trailer, obviously. I don't suppose anyone has any pics of it with Siege/War for Cybertron Trilogy figures? He has enough greebling, but I think the colours probably mean he wouldn't go with them - that's what seems to be the key (SS86 Kup goes great, SS86 Perceptor not at all. Earthrise Snapdragon is perfect, Earthrise Arcee looks like she has a spotlight on her. Kingdom Galvatron hell yes, Kingdom Cyclonus (sadly) looks like he's from a completely different toyline).

    That is glorious!

    Hope you feel shipshape ASAP.

    Must be something they're smoking!

    Smoking. Like a ham, when you're smoking a ham.

    I used to be funny.

    Same.

    Is it just me or does anyone else wince when watching TF review videos and they're just wrenching parts around willy-nilly? I watched one for Motormaster last night and those shoulder hinges that are known to crack were just being abused so much. Wish that I could be so confident with joints, tabs and hinges.

    Watch a Wotafa review to counter that feeling, can't think of anyone who takes more care when transforming toys on camera.

    [EDIT: Those clips were supposed to start at 2:10 & 2:30, but I'm very old and can't use one of these electronic typewriter things...]

    Evening all,

    bit of a whopper of a sales post coming up. got to clear my spare room for the little one, and seeing as my records take up one room already...
    'rules' of the road:
    - all prices include uk postage/fees, blah blah.
    - all are boxed and in excellent condition unless otherwise stated. some of the siege onwards boxes are a bit ratty, due to the new packaging!
    - photos of anything available on request( I've just added some of the weirder things for now)
    - some of these were hard to price so go easy on me!
    - will bundle a bit of someone wants several but I've actually found boxes for them as i've gone along so they are ready to go separately
    - only trade i’m after is a boxed studio series 86 movie ironhide, and thats ideally for creatures collide.

    Encore Star convoy reissue 150

    Kingdom airrazor MISB 16

    Earthrise wheeljack 16

    Lg54 bumblebee and spike headmaster 35

    Behold Galvatron pack slightly snapped back tab 35. doesn't affect transformation, its basically one of the pegs you can mount the rail guns on in alt mode if you choose to do so, it still just hangs on loosely.

    Mp29 shockwave 75 not a ko!

    Takara legends Lg14 Magnus 80 (basically the combiner wars one with a nicer finish)

    Slammer w instructions 15 NO BOX
    Six gun w/instructions 20 NO BOX

    Ko mp blustreak 20

    Creatures collide set - would swap this for a 86 movie ironhide.

    Unngh. After an hour of work on both my OP Leaders I have one butterfly lock working correctly. I know awkward QC is part of the 3P game but boy, I don't enjoy taking pliers to my 80 quid figures

    Comparrison with the older oversized KO copter bot!
    20230123_221934.jpg
    No diecast just plastic but a nice weight, great paint apps too. Gonna combine them with my oversized KO red Hotspot aka KOncept Chief Fire. The limb bots come with a pair of articulated hands which are very nice and I think I have a pair of feet somewhere though they may be too small for this big guy. ;) 

    Edit:
    These where from ShowZ, link below. Currently up for $50 with free delivery!
