    I really like the look of this!

    Same! A right little treasure trove!

    Brutal : (

    Ta, high praise! I sort of envisioned it as the ladybird verse equivalent of the ‘here’s a hint’ moment

    Thank you!

    100% That sounds amazing too, I think you might have just sent down on another rabbit hole!

    Thanks @Avon for the PSA. Inbox flushed through and is open for business. Many thanks to all who have all bought things so far. I'm posting a few out today. Just waiting on some boxes for the few that bought yesterday afternoon. Once again thank you for looking and there is still some gems in the Classics line in there. Ask for the stuff you're looking for peoples.

    It reminds me of a million Japanese robots from the 80s, but not of Diaclone

    Really can't wait for Armada Prime, one of the ones I'll be happy to pay full price for this year. Plus, I think it's going to be very popular, so I don't want to miss out just in case it doesn't make it to a heavy discount.

    I'm skipping Armada altogether, the aesthetic still does nothing for me even today I'm afraid!

    Morning All,

    Nothing quite like telling your mum on Mother’s Day you love her by presenting her with a box of air biscuits! Lol

    I trust you reprimanded the little scamp and checked he understood how the dutch oven works…

    On a TF note, Core class Sludge arrived curtesy of Amazon on Saturday and of the three core Dinos I now own, this is certainly the weakest of them. Quite a ghastly figure (IMO) in both bot and alt modes. Hollow. Lacking in articulation in both modes and certainly feels like an inferior product when compared to the core seekers.

    To have a completed mini scale Volcanicus it’s going to cost circa £65-75 (I think they are having a team of 6 for this). I still reckon I should have gone for the OSKO POTP Dinos giving a superior Volcanicus for similar financial outlay. The only real benefits of this Volcanicus is that it won’t take up much space and can flip between the team/modes quickly.

    I know, objectively, Sludge is terrible. Grimlock and Slug aren't that much better. Yet I love the Core class versions all the same.

    This is true. He's rubbish (although I think the other two are worse). But a rubbish Sludge is still Sludge, and therefore still lovely.

    C'mon Hasbro, give us Bombshell so I can use the Legends scale guys as their clones.

    I absolute love the core seekers. They are fantastic. Soundwave and even Megs I like a lot. It’s amazing how having the third mode for combiner for the core Dinos compromises them in such a way.

    Don’t get me wrong, there is a charm about them and despite stating I should have gone for the OSKO POTP set, I still think I made the right choice getting these given spacial limitations that I’m facing.

    I'm really glad this went quickly and well. Sounds like a tough wee guy!

    I'm giving you a manly bearhug because I love you. If it gets a little sexy, so be it. I hope this is more sweet than bitter for you, my good friend!

    I'd seen Snarl, and I think already commented that I thought it was fantastic, but that Galvatron!

    This is the first I'd realised you could spell pride from disgusted. Incredible!

    What a story, Mark! I probably should have done the same when Amazon cancelled my discounted Blitzwing due to 'lack of stock', only to relist it immediately at full price. :crazy:  Still, I managed to get it cheap from Smyths in the end.

    I'm still very much on the fence with Siege Jetfire. I didn't get it at release or the first reissue because I still like Generations Jetfire. It's a good size and good design, especially since it blends elements of the G1 toy into it. Still, I hear a lot of praise heaped on the Siege figure. Is it really worth an upgrade?

    Got MMC Reformatted Ravage arriving at some point this week. Thing is, I've no use for the upgrade parts he comes with for their Megatron. Anyone have any interest in them?

    The upgrade comprises of an alternate head that mimics the time in Megatron: Origin where he removed his helmet, an additional painted helmet to hold while doing this, a suspiciously Vos like sniper rifle and two forearm fillers.

    @Cal, Siege Jetfire is fantastic fun. If decent relative scale is your thing though, he's absolutely massive and it's definitely a minus point in that regard.

    Lots of play value though, figures can hang off dedicated handles in jet mode, modular weapon loadouts and great articulation for such a bulky lad.

    Which one are we comparing it to? The T30(?) Jetfire? Personally I find it a far better figure especially from an articulation standpoint. I do prefer the jet mode of the T30 version. Just a lot more aggressive and impressive than the G1 Skyfire accuracy of the Siege fella.
