    I'm neither but I will :D 

    Haha, I'll have to check that out. They're probably not wrong about the boxes though, I open mine and I think they suck because there's nothing quite like opening a box to find a turd inside *glares at Pulse*, and MIB collecting was always gonna suffer. And that's a rather large number of sales.

    On their dealings with Game, this is far from the first time. And our etailers are at it too!

    I never trust gas. And certainly not my own.

    I've just found out he comes with a foot as well. A foot that turns into some sort of wolfy bastard. This is an extravagant bonus.

    I might just display this pair as a crotch and foot from time to time. Fucked if I'm buying the rest of them.

    Might bite on Override one day if she keeps going for that price.

    In other (magnificent) news, The New Zealand Story - the arcade version - has made it to the Switch. Oh happy day! Massive nostalgia for the Amiga version here, the original arcade version is a fraction different but arguably better. Even made it onto the global top 100 Caravan mode leaderboard last night (I would expect briefly). £6.29 well spent, that's equivalent to the leg of a deluxe Stunticon :)

    My Scourge just sold on Ebay so perhaps things may improve.

    Kapow sale is literally just Hauler, Override and Metroplex

    That Kapow sale felt like a lot of build up for nothing.
    Cheap Skullgrin for the Super-God Masterforce shelf and cheap Override for the IDW shelf.
    Override's going to stand next to Legacy Prime Knock Out and look snootily at everyone else.
    Skullgrin is going to go on a flight stand and be overly dramatic in everyone's face.
    "PREEEEETENDAAAHH!"
    "TRANSFORMMMM!"

    Loved that game! Had it for the atari st. Could never figure out what I was meant to do when I got eaten by the giant whale though. I could dodge the drips but nothing ever happened and whenever I tried to get out, I would die.

    Definitely grabbing a cheap Overide, that's a figure that won't routinely get its own mould.

    My beloved Road Hauler will probably get a semi-routine repaint from Grapple now that Hasbro has established the precedent.

    (now watch Hasbro do the opposite, just to spite me)
