Game in Borehamwood had Lego Optimus Prime for £150.






Next door at B&M they had this He-Man massive Funko Pop. Of interest @Siege Fan and others?

 

Brian, I apologise but I'm having trouble unenabling myself, never mind anyone else!

Besides, every 80s kid's home need a Snake Eyes, and lucky you there'll be another three options of him in 5 minutes that'll get wholesaled in about 3 - 5 months, probably including the Resolute and full '85 versions that would also trouble me! *AHEM!* No, they're awful figures, don't buy any of 'em - total waste of money!

Now please excuse me as I pop out to scour Firestar Toys for a sleeve gun...and possibly some grenades.

 

I just got these two recently as part of a lot, didn't realise they were new molds. Transformation was more fun than I expected.

I always thought their characters were intended as a weird tribute to Bad Boys (Bay's first film after all) turned up to11, but once people saw them as racial stereotypes it wouldn't have been right to say "oh, it's Will Smith and Martin Lawrence"

 

Got my Legacy Dead End today. I'm experiencing the widespread problem where the back of the car doesn't peg together properly. I understand that there's a hook tab to hold it together.... but it still won't stay together. Has anyone figured out if something needs trimmed that's forcing both halves apart?

 

Speaking on Channel 4. Does any one remember the name of a programme from many many years ago that was around the same time they used to show "Collectors Lot" that was a how to make models show ?
They had things like making diaramas and stuff on it and it even showed you how to cast a replacement wheel for something out of resin.

There was a another show much more recent that had someone repairing old Star Wars figures (Stormtroopers specifically) too does anyone remember either of those at all ?

Clip the feet into the roof fully untl they click down then bring the hook tab into position and slide the lower legs into each other (do not try to push or pull the clip togther that will break it if it's not broken already 'hopefully not') then scissor the legs closed up the the windscreen upper part first and then once the top is all flush close the lower hatches.

DO NOT shave anything off you will make it to loose and make it less likely to clip together, the instructions are as is often the case pretty useless and only slight error and nothing fits only when everything is correct will it fit, but once you've done it right once it makes sense..

 

Anyone used Zatu Games | Board Games & Collectables | Seek Your Adventure

If legit they have a lot of cool stuff instock

 

My neighbour actually bought me him for Xmas, but much appreciated!

 

Today's purchases, I think they make a good looking team!

 

I wonder if 6" size MASK & VENOM figures in the manner of Gi Joe Classified would considered to obscure.
Or what about Visionaries ?
Even since I saw Timber I've been thinking Visionaries Giftsets the Knight packed with the blue or green tinted articulated beast.

The advantage of it is with some sneaky re-purposing some of those animals could be sold as RED beast Mode Beast Wars Characters or with slight mods as Pretender Beasts RED figures too, or they could be sold as Pets for Gi Joe or as the pets of Action Man if he got the 6" treatment too.

There is art figures for some of this sort of stuff out there already but it's often hyper expensive and super fragile rather than actual action figures.

I guess the reverse is possible too get that company making the new Cobra Commander to do something in the 4" scale say, since Hasbro doesn't seem super interesting in making 3.75" figures much these days.
But they have all these brands they just don't use... I think they should.

 

I never saw a single GI Joe toy as a kid. If it wasn't for adverts in Marvel comics I'd never even have heard of it! #teamactionman #teamatomicman #teambulletman

 

MASK might be a stretch as even if updating the figures the real draw was the vehicles. Visionaries? They're crazy not to try it. They'd fit in with so many other lines now and it's a cheap but awesome gimmick.

What? I wasn't using an outside toilet for you not to have heard of GI Joe! My god, the rats...
...

 

Ping me a PM and we can sort it out.

 

@Hobart Paving,
Nice pics of the Iron Factory '86 Decepticons!

The extra parts for Sweeps made it too tempting to get several extras which in turn would have meant less cash for more original moulds so I talked myself out of it!  

Pipes is now in the country according to the tracking info so should be with me in a few days.

Intrested to see if anything new gets revealed at TFCON.

 

One of the designers recently inferred on twitter or instagram or one of them, that ss skids and mudflap will happen someday. But no hint if its the ice cream truck or the chevy versions.

 

if there's a second one, could you grab me it?

 

I’m sure the Chevy versions will happen because people kind of need them to complete their collections

 

Mine are Siege quality. The shuttle is better than the two-pack release I got too as the wings aren't bent up by the packaging.

 

Spent most of the day sorting out stock ready for sale, but found the time to get a few good pictures and finish building the Lego Optimus Prime I started yesterday.



GDO Hotspot, massively underated toy, if only for that amazing head which should have been used for Pyro.

 

Hope so. I gave up waiting thinking they would never do them so bought the rotf deluxes last year. Although a tenner for the pair, so can't complain. Not sure if I'd go for ss versions now, guess it would heavily depend on what they looked like and how much they cost.

 

After watching that Jazz review just the addition of the grappling hook has damn near sold me on it!

Thankfully I have this to distract me
