    ..Wow, I'm going to have to check for those again when I do the weekly shop :p 

    You have to be careful actually, the hands and feet from the cheaper KOs from about 10 years ago will break Has/Tak toys easily because the pegs are just /slightly/ too big.

    I don't have anything of my own, but wulongti makes a nice set of hands which were originally made for Kreo-O combiners but probably fit okay with the G1 guys as they have 5mm holes too.

    TROLL! TROLL!! TROOOLLLLLLLL!!! *faints*

    Didn't get a chance to get to grips with HT Optimus yesterday, Thursday TV catchup took priority. Brooklyn 99 and Murder in Paradise heh.

    MP Ironhide is out? What? OK I really need to see pics of this guy, hell I really want to see him in hand before I take the plunge, because I want to, but his proportions just do nothing for me.

    @glaug, glad I could lift your day a bit.

    Edit

    Erector! Long time no see! How you been!?

    Hey guys, has anyone had a shipping payment request from AE for Ironhide? Requested shipping yesterday morning and hasn't progressed from there...

    TCracker has some very nice MP Ironhide pics in the MP appreciation thread. Not opened mine yet, the 4 year old would probably want it if I did right now :lol

    Rant incoming...

    So 6 months ago I pre order 4 sets of nonnef CW feet. I split it in to 2 orders so I avoid customs (but pay double shipping).

    Yesterday I get a customs charge. All the feet shipped together, but with a higher price on the customs label than what it should have been if they were sent individually.

    So not only do I have a customs charge of £12, I also have paid more in shipping than I should! Not loads of money but bloody annoying!

    Neither has mine. They are probably just getting through them, whilst getting drunk

    There's a fair amount of stuff in MP Ironside's box. Alt mode is a nice red, fully painted too with no imperfections that I can see.

    They aren't allowed to be drunk. They aren't Chinese.

    You should post that you have him in the news thread, just to hear the cries of 'it's not fair!'.

    Like the transformation, a fair chunk of the van just disappears into the chest. He's also pretty big.

    The only thing I find a bit strange is he has ratcheting shoulders and knees but friction joints in the hips. At least they're tight. The face swap gimmick is cool, you push the crest from the back and it pops the face off too.
