    And that#s what crazy looks like, ladies and gentlemen.

    Ohhh good to know. Think I'll see about grabbing Hoist, Skids and Waspinator via there.

    They look great.

    I won't be biting. Never got Quakewave either.

    I hear kidneys sell well on the black market.

    Or there's always armoured car robbery.

    I hope that FED Ex guy miss-delivering a Monitor got fired with extreme prejudice and sent an invoice for the Monitor's cost too.

    I wonder if FT have any connection with the recent MP Grimlock KO. Its a coincidence. Honestly, I hope that FT do their own Grimlock. The MP one is great, as long as the style matches, but putting him on platforms or some other fix isnt ideal. I would rather get a FT one designed to fit the group from the ground up (since I would probably buy a second Takara version for this anyway).

    My excitement for generations Skids evaporated when I pulled it out of the the box.It is a mess; stability issues abound and the arms are awkward. Waspinator is by far the best of the wave.

    I am very confused as to Kapow and warbotron...

    The Facebook page seems to suggest they are available as a set... But that doesn't seem to show on the site itself.

    "Listings for the new Warbotron figures will be up very soon and we are pleased to announce we will have a UK and European PRICE BEATER when you purchase the complete set! European and UK customers will also receive FREE SHIPPING! keep your eyes peeled!"

    It's the bit about purchasing a complete set...

    And yes it's free shipping if you order them all individually at the same time, but then is it just free shipping at the end of the release schedule? So wait till the end then free shipping?

    Too early for my brain to think...


    At least the TFC ares is not available as an early bird set at omegalock now. Was gonna buy that one but can think about other options now.

    Oh, is anyone interested in the new/sealed chrome guns for hexatron? £8 shipped. They should arrive at the end of the month.

    Kapow's usual practice regarding combined postage on pre-orders is to wait until they all arrive, so yes, you'd have to wait until not-Onslaught arrived in Q3 2014 before you got any of them. They also have a standard free shipping for all orders over £100, which the whole of WB-01 absolutely will be.

    Genetic - thanks for the eBay advice.

    Platform shoes? Glitlock?

    I wonder why they didn't just make Slag a little smaller? Not that it matters, it looks great

    Huh, I've never been bothered by grimlock being a little short till now, but he does look like the dogs bollocks next to prime and slag. Not keen on the grimlock boots though. Apparently an upscaled ko is on the way, which would probably look better.

    Having 4 out of 5 dinos at the new mp scale is better than none?

    Plus, apparantly, there is an upscaled KO of MP08 in the works. All bases covered.

    Pwahaha! First lol of the day!

    Am I the only one that thinks those platforms look hilariously bad???

    I agree that they should have made slag smaller, but they were stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one. Make him in scale with grimlock, or make him in scale with the holy scale chart of holiness.

    Is the northern meet today? And what time was it as the missus is off out so it looks like a go-er may bring chaos paladin for the curious as not many seem to have him

    Also anyone got a box bomber they could bring as I'd quite like a gander at one

    Will update in a bit with the shirt I'm wearing so you know who I am

    I'll bring Box Bomber and the other kfc tapes :D  Any other requests I'll see what I can do. Can anyone bring Hexatron?

    Was gonna wear my Rovers shirt but probably not the best idea. I'll be in a Batman tshirt.

    I'll be there. 36, 5'10", black hair, beard, glasses, and shirt, blue jeans, mid-length black coat.

    I don't think that I have much worth bringing; Demolition Crue? Not-Magnificus?

    Plus 1 for demolition crew and KFC tapes - nice 1! I'm a short-arse with dark hair and wearing a grey top. Will bring Bovis if anyone's not seen one? Otherwise may bring Super GT Op

    Edit: screw that -if we are wearing stuff to make it easier to spot I've now got a ghostbusters t-shirt on.
