ID are getting SS Scourge in today but can't ship him until the street date of April 10th.

No wonder I sharded it  

 

£480? And I thought Iron Factory was expensive! (Except when someone (or someone’s mum) labels a job lot ‘small Transformers’ on eBay and you get five toys you didn’t have for £63).

@barry Young me also thought Joe Pineapples was Jack the Biscuit (that was long before Bisley, though). I used to make him out of Lego repeatedly.

Bisley-wise it’s always his work on Sláine that sticks in my mind…

 

I only bought/kept three Animated figures: Blurr, Roddy and Prowl. I have never been able to appreciate what everyone else seems to have been able to about Animated - whipcrack smart show and very well realised toys - because much like the Bayverse I just couldn't "cope" with the aesthetic.

To be fair to Animated I think I was more a reaction to "oh Gawd not another one....." In relation to EVERYTHING going Bruce Timm and Teen Titans Go!

But something about Prowl did appeal. Also his design seemed like he was more Jazz than Jazz with that facial expression. So I was a bit disappointed when this Legacy version was revealed and he was now a dumpy, squat-legs rather than the Louche, rangy design he should have been. But that's just me. And I'll get one when going cheap just to transplant the head (that I like) on a spare Animated body.

Now somebody tell me they head won't fit.

 

Someone in the Sightings thread has just had Kapow ship Scourge, so not sure whats going on here.

 

Initially I was wondering what impact I had on Animated Prowl till realisation dawned….

 

He told me he always liked your style.

 

Newage Artfire arrived yesterday but I've not had time to do anything but have a brief look at the alt mode due to being distracted by something way more important,

RIP Rebecca ferret 2015-23     

Over the past few weeks she'd lost a lot of weight and then over the weekend lost the use of one of her legs and was clearly struggling so with her being up there in age there was only one option left so she took her final journey this morning.

To her credit she made sure she got a last bite in and the vet copped it!  

 

fuck.

Brendan mate, I'm so sorry. She was a wee legend. We'll miss hearing about her antics.

 

Hasbro UK never enforce the street dates so so e stores just send them.

 

Here's me hoping that the GE WFC stuff comes in ASAP just to get it over with, can never trust any of the dates Hasbro put out atm

 

 

Wow, can't even see there was any damage!

I'm imagining Wheelie being melted down to make a sword 

Huh, neat, validation!
Also lol, they seriously did the Serpentera excuse before Power Rangers?  

Speaking of Dinobots and Trypticon, that reminds me of a digibash idea I've been meaning to do... Trypticon in Dinobot colours: Stomp, the Dinobot Titan!

Yeowch! I paid more than that for Takara Legends Metroplex, and he has three comic runs of sentimental attachment to him for me!* No way I'm paying that for a toy without that sort of attachment, no matter how cool it may be.

I think I'll admire from afar when @rikkomba remortages their house! 

* The two Windblade Miniseries plus Till All Are One

A masterpiece.

Lol

Ooh is that the PriD Voyager? Thanks for the size comparison.

Aww noooo  RIP Rebecca! I was just thinking of her the other day.
Liked for Rebecca getting a bite in on the way out and the picture. I'm now imagining her being a right menace running around in Death's robe while he's trying to take her to see Oreo  .
HEY NOW STOP THAT- DID YOU JUST BITE ME?
<3

 

Sad news to see. Really sorry for your loss Brendan. I did chuckle when you said she managed to have the last word (bite) at the end. A parting gift for the vet.

 

Still taking time for me to get shot of it. Seems to be affecting my sinuses. I reckon a couple of more days and I should be in better shape.

Looks like you might be right that it was a short delay and FT Parkour is close to being out for delivery since it cleared customs and arrived at a distribution centre yesterday. Might be lucky receiving tomorrow or Friday.

 

Oh dear, I am very sorry to hear this. Was always great to read the tales of Rebecca's mischief.

 

Oh dang. Sorry to hear the thread mascot has left us. You gave her a good life, and going by your posts, she improved your life too. Commiserations, friend.

 

No.

The outrage comes from them charging that either at ALL on a ticket price that high, and/or from them charging that price on a single core figure too.

 

DPD ain't cheap though. That 7.50 gets you 20kg of stuff, and you can stack it.

 

Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. Heartbreaking. Hope you’re as okay as you can be.
