    They are nice...very nice, but I think I would rather have the Leader Cyb. OP and MP10 (actually I do). Im not scared of transforming either of them...I would be terrified transforming those THS figures.

    Seems to be incremental. I've just ordered feet, Superion leg cover and Soundwave eyes and the shipping came out as $12.50 -- not bad overall.

    edit:
    Mmm, he's good. I picked up a United Goldbug and swapped the heads for an "evolution" pair. G2 Bee will be wearing a toy face.

    I've never actually seen the full sized one in person, always liked the look of it though.

    Cheers dude, its absolutely awesome, when they say good things come in small packages they were talking about the THS Hybrid figures.

    Theres a couple of bits that are prone to falling off, but actually they're pretty robust.
    In the case of the G1 THS Optimus you really don't want to transform it, the truck mode is fugly as all hell.

    stevil.. dude.

    SPAM. Pic spam. No effects, just me rolling around on astroturf like a dickhead getting laughed at by the kid next door.

    Inspired by all who have inspired me to buy, or reacquire in THS-02's case, some utterly brilliant figures. Three of them any road, more to come when we next get sun.

    This guy demands something..

    [​IMG]

    ..indeed he does. Serious note, is anyone (long shot) in a position to sell me a Yaniger G2 head from the Black Version of THS-02?

    Galaxy Convoy reacquisition unassailable. Choice.. made. You read this in Omega Supreme's voice.

    YEAAAAAAH!!! Nice pics dude, funny that for my pics I tried a few different hands out on THS-02, I really wanted to use the pointing finger but couldn't make it work, boom Napalm come's in with the flawless finger using hand victory!!

    Hybrids, y'all got one
    A night that's special everywhere
    From Japan to the UK thread
    It's THS night and threadees, the feeling's good

    Oh yes it's THS night and the feeling's right
    Oh yes it's Hbrids night, oh what a night, oh what a night!

    Ok the songs a bit crap, but loving the Hybrid's

    Well, I never actually ordered Amazon Prime, but this is what happened.

    I ordered a Legion Fixit and Underbite from Amazon.com, and selected normal shipping, so far so normal. These two got delivered a week or so later no problem.

    A couple of days later (I think) another package arrived from Amazon, and this one had 'Amazon Prime' tape all around it. Inside was a duplicate order or the Fixit and Underbite, at $0.00 charge.

    So I looked at my account online, and for some reason it said that 'a replacement has been ordered' and the replacement was sent the day before by Amazon Prime.

    Anyway I have no idea what happened but it really looks like Amazon Prime from the US can get here in a day.

    I'm not entirely sure why Hasbro/Taktom are cranking out so many huge figures. I mean, the 3 Step Hyperchangers are quite big, and I guess a flagship 'big' figure is cool and all, but stuff like that TAV-21 baffle me, and this is from a guy that buys flip changers and stuff.

    He might have dead eyes, but MP-10 Convoy is 100% hero.

    This Optimus Prime puts me in the mind of big, simple and fun stand out G1 toys like Ginrai, Star Saber etc. Obviously in this day and age of articulation out of the anus he stands out like a sore thumb and doesn't work for a lot of people but I think I get the intent.

    -EDIT- Maz, beauts, the Takara version has such a premium finish to it.

    I really want TAV21 Optimus. I love the RId design, it is an awesome looking Star Convoy ;) 

    Was hoping Kapow or Masterforce would get it in
