    Wow that's much better.

    Still not much I personally need, or the things I got from the Pulse sale, but definitely makes me feel sitting and waiting for any non-exclusives is the way forward.

    100% agree, Papa Toys illustrates why you have to really adjust proportions on certain distinctive parts like face because straight up embiggening the Perfect effect faces does them absolutely no favours!

    Saying that, I did order Prowl today, but I make exceptions for figures that I'm super stoked for.

    OOF! Just seen the W'N'R prices on there, and OUCH! Nearly half price for all of 'em!?! FML!

    EDIT: £12 squid Scarlett DAGNABBIT! Flippin' Alpha Commando Snakes & timber for a hair over £25 is quite tempting, at least they don't have V.2 Snake Eyes & Timber, or I've already missed whatever they priced it for clearance!

    I'm also thinking I may have to go in on the Steel Brigade set to steal the Fembod gear & weapons for Scarlett (the poor lass needs a thigh slung sidearm like Snakes & Stalker), and grab the JUMP packs, then see if I can sell on the figures! GAH!

    Better prices but not as new stuff on sale there, no needlenose or hero is born set which is what I got from the warehouse sale.

    The eBay store is usually good even if it’s stock levels are low single figures as both a description and a errr description lol

    They absolutely do, ‘cause they are! :) 

    Yeah, I’m looking forward to Brawn. I’ll definitely be getting Convoy, too. If they were selling Magna Convoy separately from Shattered Glass Uncle Magnus he’d be a definite. As it is, not so much, unless someone’s flogging him loose on eBay…

    (I suppose getting SGUM and just flogging the big boy is always a potential option. It’s not like you need MC or MA to have that mould in robot mode. Seems a risky play, though.)

    Oh bummer. When I used it earlier you could use it on anything over a tenner. Probably a limited thing, and you could only use it once.

    Dang. Tempted by Springer and a second rodimus... 45 seems pretty decent for him...
    Defo glad I didn't get leadfoot in the Pulse sale. Though I've now spent more, by adding diaclone twin twist on...

    Yeah, HTS not shipping to NI is BS. Stopped me from getting a cheap SS86 Grimlock.

    To own one Spike may be regarded as a misfortune, to own two looks like carelessness.
