    Thank you, I'm very fortunate to be able to say that was a long while ago, and although I perhaps won't ever be where I was health-wise before all this, I'm much much much better. Am one of the lucky ones.

    Optimus gets sent to some much needed corporate sensitivity training after telling Blaster, the Dinobots and Perceptor to roll out.

    Bwahahahaha, brilliant parenting right there!

    That's very much how I feel - I got it very early, probably due to being involved at an event with a load of Chinese agents (the student-application kind, not the spy kind). I've still got PVFS and labyrinthitis, have lost most of the hearing in my left ear, and have permanent damage to my upper respiratory system. That's all not great, but like you I was one of the lucky ones.

    @Avon Absolutely love these. It's like the ladybird drawings, but good!

    Love this, and not just because of the domain. There's something about 80s/90s Japanese layouts and design that really appeals. I used to buy a couple of Japanese Mega Drive magazines every month - couldn't read a word of them, but they looked amazing and I still have them. Same reason I originally started collecting Japanese Mega Drive games rather than UK Megadrive ones - the covers, rear covers, and the full-colour instruction books were incredible!

    My leftover figures i put in a box and donated to toyfu. Hopefully someone will pick them up and it goes to a good cause. And honestly, it's easier from my side. Win win all round.

    Thanks. I'm just toying with it at the moment, it would depend on the price and the tab damage. If it still held fine in alt modes, is it noticable that its damaged/missing. And the guns and rocket have to be included, those missing would be a deal breaker. They're too iconic to the look not to be there.

    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!
