    Hes a prat and should be banned. Hopefully Madrid will spend a fortune prising him away from the Scousers, and then we won't have to hear about him so often.

    They are going to be a bit expensive, and these are 4 for less than the price of one of the Revoltech Turtles. You are right though, the Revoltechs look amazing, and really nail the look from the show!

    I like the playmates ones. Got em on discount ages ago and yeah they will do for me :) 

    The trailer #2 is out for the turtles love action film. Shows more of the guys and a tiny bit of splinter. Splinter looks naff but the main 4 look great. Some of the humour looks wicked too!

    Hmmm, I might bite on the Battle shells... maybe. I already have the original four... but I would prefer the better TV likenesses... hmmm.

    RE : Comics ;

    So is everyone going digital now then ?

    No appeal any more in holding the physical comic or seeing the covers as art to put on the wall like some do ?

    The portability tops that - No worries about loosing them if your device breaks down or the place you bought them from changes policies or stops trading ?

    ---------

    Has Scoria actually shown up anywhere yet then ?

    I've gone digital except for signed versions. With Comixology you can redownload to another device easily enough. If I like the artwork I'll pick up the actual comic but my wife's not a fan of that idea ;) 

    The stopping trading is a concern especially when you're not meant to be able to back them up...

    Nah, I prefer physical comics over digital comics. Right now I'm only picking up a few titles a month and much prefer trades now. Even my comics I wait a few months between pickups so I can ensure I get a full story run instead of having to wait. Luckily Dark Horses Conan series are generally 3 issues per story arc which is nice.

    I like my comics digital. I can't spill food or beer on them and I don't have to go outside to get them.

    My iPad is backed up regularly through iCloud and my purchases are safe believe me. I feel you fighting a losing battle with this one RAR.

    Basically if I want to buy my comics in digital format well that's what I will do.

    :lol  it was a pre-Shockwave picture! I just couldn't waste the opportunity of having the flat to myself to get the comics all spread out like that, even though Griffith had yet to complete and send the DC 1 cover.

    As for 19 RI, it's mocking you from your own avatar :p 

    All the best

    You must really have a lot of coats to store and drink an awful lot of cola then, yes ?
    Those gaps on the end of Maz's Comics might drive some people's OCD crazy if they saw that image.

    He has some awesome stuff. Might as well get in there first :p 

    Glad to hear you and your daughter are doing better.

    Who says you don't have an "arrangement" like that already?
    You did agree to conditions when you signed up to post here.

    Probably, and less chance of QC issue going by FunPubs latest problems with the Botcon sets.

    Ohhh... what exclusives.
    Off to TFCon next?

    I just hope they have some left by Friday when payday is for me. Think it's time to upgrade my Universe Galvatron.

    I saw that, and as I said on Facebook, I'm not surprised.
    It seems there are new 3rd Party companies popping up every week, each with hefty price tags on them and most just recycling what has come before.
    From a consumer point of view, I just can't keep up with them financially, which is why I only buy a few 3rd Party figures that I want, but even then the prices are going up and it's harder to keep up.
    I can only imagine it's 10 times worse for a store, so I for one, am glad Kapow are doing this.

    I'm saddened to hear it's been causing you so much trouble but I am happy you have done something to rectify the problem for yourself.
    It's a shame that Fansproject and Maketoys are two companies that haven't been playing ball, since I like their products, but thankfully PE are in your list because if their Warden is anything to go by, their Scorponk will be stellar.

    I completely agree.

    Glad to hear your feeling good and I look forward to this new direction.
    Just as long as I can get my pre-orders is ;)

    My God...

    SDCC could really bankrupt me. First the Dinobots, now a bloody fantastic KRE-o set.

    Find me a pre-order for under £80 and its bought!
