It may be worth looking into 3d printed parts for the hands/feet & other bits - I don't know what's out there? *Shines the Glaug light at a passing cloud*

 

The Alt has been compromised to get that stupid cockpit for the Targetmaster. Personally I could have done without that to have kept Blurr's more traditional profile. But......gimmicks.

But everything else about Him is astonishingly good. Quality wise the best thing Unique have ever done and one of those growing list of examples where you get to say "I really don't know how Hastak would top it," and mean it.

For somebody sliding out of MP collecting as I've been since the summer there has been a pretty amazing string of things to keep my hand in of late. Sphinx, Tyrant, Gundog, Sunsurge and now this guy.

Blurr is done. My list of what I "need" is down to: Jazz, Trailbreaker, Gears and Cliffjumper.

What I "want" is down to: Springer,Cyclonus, Arcee, Shitpiece and Sandstorm.

It's entirely possible I can be done within two years. Scary.

 

Do you want to be done?

 

All the time  

And of course by done I mean still buying every character over again in Legends class by IF............which is where my fire is going to be trained for a good while I can see.

I'm also going to make it my mission to go into every MP/Faux MP thread and declare it "nice, but should be down scaled to Legends...."  

 

I was right, MP Ironhide in the house. Cheers Andy.

 

Please do. It'll go down so well!

I'm not sure I'll ever be done. Not through a sense of completion anyway.

 

@ Jame5y - my wife and I just got back from Rome on Thursday. Great place, yes there's pickpockets etc but if you're sensible you're fine (I kept valuables on an inside pocket = winning).

Tips:

- Vatican kills almost an entire day, even if you're not religious it's really interesting
- Colosseum, Palatine and Forum can be visited on a single ticket. Palatine and Forum count as one site though so you've got to visit them both at once.
- Lots of good eats. We went on a tour with a company called Eating Italy who took us to a bunch of restaurants around Trastavere - well worth it, a bit pricey but great fun. Totally recommend the restaurant L'Asino D'Oro (the Golden Donkey!) which is down between the Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum.
- Walk as much as you can. The metro is great but you get a lovely feel for the city just by wandering around the streets.
- Eat lots of gelato.

Hope that's helpful, drop me a line if you want any other thoughts...

 

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

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...

 

Nothing that a bit of sandpaper won't fix though, got a cheap KO set of feet/ fists for £3 and you wouldn't know to look at em

 

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  

 

Yeh, I paid this morning. £8.45 SAL £15 EMS

Looks brilliant to me. That group shot is something else.

 

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.

 

Oooh!!! Nice. Where'd you get him from?

 

Kapow.

 

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