    So true!

    Edit: what you said is the tame version as well. Don’t hold back!

    Thanks for the heads up!
    I guess I really ought to have held off on Leadfoot earlier this month... ah well cést la vie!
    If the past year or so has taught us anything it's that you may as well bide your time on purchases for as long as possible

    On a totally related note, I may have finally got an Ark... :confused2

    I thought the figure was Daniel it was so bad. Spike had some competency in S1 and S2. Daniel was just a whiney kid.

    That's just the next few releases, there's already been like 10 waves of Origins, not including deluxes and Mattel Creations exclusives! It's crazy how much they've put out and how little of it has been easy to pick up UK retail.

    I'd love to see a full checklist poster though, for Origins and Legacy. I've always loved this POTF2 one. Screenshot_20230322-175156_Chrome.jpg

    What's the not-tame version? I was paraphrasing The Importance of Being Earnest - 'To lose one parent, Mr Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.'

    Oh I didn’t know it was from that, I am not as cultured as you. The not-tame version goes along the lines of why’d you buy such a rubbish toy twice?

    Caved and painted the back half of Shrapnel's chest black, and it turns out that the sculpting cuts in his arms make it pretty easy to get around the unpainted half of his shoulder "cuff" without getting black on the arms - which was nice.
    Anyone any idea on a good purple-matching paint for his purple plastic segments? The Mr. Hobby range isn't so good for options at the violet end of the spectrum, they don't seem to have a "grape" option.

    So that's Ariel from LegArcee, and Dion also from the Kup mould?

    I'm glad they're out, as I know lots of people will be delighted, but you'd struggle to name a non-Witwicky two-pack I'd find less enticing.

    Tempted by springer and Twin twist… but do I really need them? I have the originals and when trying to cut down it just doesn’t seem the right thing to do.

    Favourite thing about Hasbro U.K. eBay was when yodel told me they had posted Studio Series Devastator through the letterbox….
    That was quite the complaint form!

    Depends who you get on email I'm afraid.

    First one they've done! Probably a third of it is etailer/retailer exclusive though :rolleyes: , and as CZ said, the line is a nightmare to obtain anyway!

    It's a nice easy pass for me but, dayum, if the TF lads aren't really trying to do complete mini-collections!
