Welp. PAYDAY.

Ran into town on my dinner hour to pick up most of my FP Transformers haul - probably the most Transformers I've ever bought in one go and definitely the most I've ever spent on Transformers in one go. My poor wallet got a proper kicking.

I got SS86 Snarl, Toxitron, Evo Armada Megatron, SS Gamer Prime, Barricade and Bumblebee, Evo Nemesis Lio, Beachcomber, Axelgrease and Devcon, Ice Lolly Jazz and 2 more Freezers.

I thought I was done but they unpacked the Buzzorthy Childhood trauma pack right in front of me and made me buy it whilst I was at my weakest, card in hand.

Had to leave a couple of doubles til next time, which is annoying, but I'm not made of bloody money.

This morning I paid Gundamit for the Yolopark ROTB Prime and bought the Nova Forge SS ROTB Scourge upgrade kit and now I AM LITERALLY SPENT.

Still got to sort out paying for the new IDW 2 pack at Pulse, somehow, as well.

:'O(

 

I was about to get very jealous then realised there are only 4 figures in that picture that I actually want and can get all of them relatively easily

 

Cheers, been checking for those two every day this last week in the hope that IDTs batch might finally turn up. MCM London feels like a long time ago now.

Its a painful price, but still a lot less than eBay and AliExpress want for them.

 

Random thoughts:

1) Shadow Panther has been reminding me of something all day. Finally realised it looks like he's wearing the most hideous colour-combo I remember being on the two-tone Nike coats that were required wearing at my high-school for a couple of years.





Just to really take me back there's even a Rag and Bone Man on the street right now. Must be at least twenty years since I've seen one...

2) Why isn't there a Mario Kart-esque Transformers racing game?

3) Gelshark (aka Sky-Byte) has just turned up in Cyberverse. He's not as much fun as the Car Robots version.

4) Why is the Dilophosaurus in the new Jurassic Park crossover a Decepticon instead of a Predacon?

5) I found myself, after thinking last week that I fancied a Cogman after watching experiencing The Last Knight, looking through Studio Series toys 'just to see if there was anything cool'. What's happening to me?

 

Day 1 of @LorDZeeD's #megatron4all on Instagram, and it's a multiversal menagerie of the OG Decepticon leader stepping up to ruin your day in the G1 homaging Only A Select Few Ever Lead.

 

Got. Got. Need. Got. Need. Need. NEEED!

 

Stunning.

 

Didn't win but pushed up the price on Depth Charge for you lol.

 

That puddy twat had fucked with the gnomes for the last time.





Busey's clones were no less dangerous.

 

That guy looks worth getting for the effects parts alone!

 

Might have even made enough for a bike!  

 

Absolutely majestic, top job! Kudos to the photographer and customiser!

Wow, epic haul there. Super jealous, but also glad your Deathsaurus is paid off  

phwooo he is tempting.

Agreed, had him in my basket when he was (briefly) in stock, but when I tried to buy him when I picked up my Snow Serpent he was gone again  .

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday!

 

Fuck. Yes.
Love it

 

Setting my alarm now! That's awesome!

 

Whereabouts are you? I grew up Darn Sarf but spent a number of childhood summers on Merseyside, where I once saw my one and only rag 'n' bone man. Horse-drawn scrap cart, the whole thing. This would have been early to mid 80s. I am aware you can still get pop delivered to your door up there. Like the milkman, except his products take calcium away   Mine's a green cream soda!

 

I'm in Lancaster now, but I'm from Liverpool. The rag and bone man was a regular visitor to our estate, along with the pop man (yellow lemonade all the way - it tastes better 'cause it's yellow), the spud man (didn't even have to be in, he'd put a massive bag of spuds in the little door that used to be for coal), the mobie (mobile shop), the mobile library, the fish and chip van, and in summer the candy-floss van and the ice-cream van. It was basically 80s Amazon!

 

RAAAAAAAG a'bone **clop clop clop** RAAAAAAAG a'bone **clop clop clop**

Haven't heard that since leaving the estate I grew up on in the early 80s!

OK, redeco of Beast Wars Neo Mach Kick with one of Studio Series Long Haul, to be the cart....

 

Anyone else watching : These bizarre Star Wars (Clone Wars) Show with AI voices on Youtube ?

Ashoka is spot on and occasional one sounds a bit weird but you soon forget it's not them and it's like some sort of Gag reel.

 

Royal Mail confuse me.

So Snarl was due today but I was in the office today so rescheduled for tomorrow. Coincidentally an OSKO Rippersnapper I ordered cos I bought because the one that and with my other Terrorcons broke and I wasn't convinced my fix would hold (it has to woo bonus shark kaiju) was due today. And goes to the exact same office for delivery, but they tried to deliver the Kaiju.

I assume Snarl got stowed in a specific area for delayed delivery and Snapper an went direct to another place for delivery for anything that had no specific instructions but seems a bit wasteful time and fuel wise.

 

might as well sell a Ducati and wait for a deal
