    What the-?! I don't check the forum for TWO DAYS because of work, and WFC figures are revealed? I need to take breaks more often...

    Yoked Prime is a must. Not to enthused with Barry Cade or Bee really. The fenders on either side of Bumblebee's chest look really bad.

    FOOL! Nothing can defeat Galvatron! NOT EVEN GALVATRON CAN DEFEAT GALVATRON *punches self in face*

    Overlord was a beast yes - but he couldn't defeat IDW Megatron 1 on 1.
    It's a proper shame we never got to see a proper face off between IDW Galvatron and Megatron. For old times sake. I'd loved watching them knock the shit out of each other in the comics.

    Glad they paid out dude! Still waiting on Yukikaze turning up myself, but Shouki is decent enough!

    Probably not much help, but I did try getting eBay to clarify on their protection timeline being shorter than others and they said they would decide based on theirs, and if a claim was made through eg PayPal after the ebay timeline ran out, they'd protect me/refuse the refund.
    Not that I trust that that's the truth or would actually happen...

    My brain went 'I know people who like Diaclone!'.

    They ship individually.

    Ive got FT Parkour on PO with Bombusbee. Paid a $15 deposit ages ago (July 2021). I think I missed out with Omegalock at the time. I have issues with emails from Bombusbee when it comes to settling balance payments. Just checked now and nothing from them.

    Omegalock have FT Parkour (CJ) for £89.99 and with shipping just short of £100. I don’t know what the balance will be with BBB.

    Would prefer to go Omegalock but not wishing to lose the $15 already paid.

    If the SS version manages to streamline the calves and backpack, and add ankle tilts and wrist swivels, and better paint apps than the original Hasbro release, I'll be onboard. Heck, I even love my AoE voyager Hound more than the TLK one, but we'll see what SS does with him.

    I’m not having much luck with my orders. I asked because I remember others saying they do ship parts of a multi order if all isn’t available to ship in one go.

    HP showing status as not shipped on the Hero is Born set. Just checked my personal emails and this:

    49FE887B-E3BE-4F02-9ACB-E92A7A8665B4.png

    Now let’s see them do an Amazon on me. Haha.

    I have PO with BBB, they always come good for me. Will probably be a month difference in getting him vs Omegalock though. Not too bothered though as he is the Scrappy Doo of the Autobots.

    So I actually pre-ordered the first time in a while with the 3 WFC blokes, I have seen a couple of different release dates, does anyone want to take bets on when they are actually gonna come out? Or has that issue been solved recently?

    Its already out of stock at Omegalock. I too was dilly dallying over my Bombusbee order. Just wondering how cheap it actually will be compared to Omegalock but the decision has been made for me now

    I was really surprised to learn they hadn't made a studio series version of this guy, It's a cool design, and clearly possible to pull off as this shows.
