Bombard If on FB like I have for a Greatshot redo of Sixshot. Once a week since Feb. It's the only repaint they will get out of it so they may as well.

Diaclone moneypit? Yes. But standing by the fact that Diabattles has had more playtime than ANYTHING else in the past year (yes, even TR Trigger only comes in as runner up there) and continues to do so........Further Diaclone Mecha are likely to remain worth it to me.

Maketoys being slow. Total buzzkill. Boo.

It does seem a bit odd, to me at least, that beyond reissues and other fluff we don't really have a clear idea of what the MP Line is going to do now that wads have been shot with MP36.

I want Skids. I may have mentioned that.

 

Just watched masterchef and its inspired me. Four pouches of un named and unidentifiable contents. One dried pack of noodles. I can savour it in my tiny mind already.

 

Shiiiiiiiiit. Forgot Masterchef was on. Later suckers!

 

Caved in and bought that insanely cheap legends scale Soundwave. How can they sell that so cheap? Or i suppose the question could be, why is everything else so expensive?

And in an impulse buy, grabbed that MMC Roadbuster too, the extra head and gun finally took a hammer to my resistance and it cracked.

Threw this together while working on something that's been forever in the works:

I got CW Skywarp because he was cheaper at Smyths at the time and, while I don't mind him being a towering thug, personally I don't want all the seekers towering over Blitzwing, especially as Gen. Blitzwing has a nice 'Seeker +'/evolved-from-a-seeker bodytype, or all be as tall as Jetfire (sadly, FT Phoenix is too expensive a solution for me) c'mon, Hasbro gimme a good voyager jet henchbot build but before you go large (not you @Large , I mean metaphorically) aren't you forgetting the Stripes you need to properly paw ravage (and collar him if you're really brave!)?

Couldn't resist a FB Button click and - wait, you know Mr. B. Outlaw? It is indeed a small world after all!

Shapeways bits n' kibble are in-country! Sooon. Soooooooooooooooon.

 

And on the "looking forward to" side of things. I'll throw in that DNA Design Bludgeon, Fanstoys Skyfire and Mastermade Scorponok

 

What shapeways stuff have you gone for?

 

Oh totally. These Leader class 'Cons don't sit on my chug/IDW shelf. FoC Soundwave and TR Megs are standing in there, with the Thrilling 30 Skywarp and Starscream. Both of them will get shunted the second we get some Voyager Seekers.

No, this is just some weird tangent I'm going through; a full set of Leader Class '84 'Cons.

I know Bry very well. We were in a band together for a few months and used to hang out at gigs in Leeds and the 1in12 in Bradford loads. He's still got one of my old amp heads. I must hassle him again.

 

And I thought I found it hard to decide what to eat every night! I think one of those might be a condom dude!

And talking of things we're looking forward to - I have MP Artfire and Dirge on preorder. I'm very excited! (Please don't let me down TT on the QC front!) But after that I'm literally out of room for any more MPs. What will I do?! Probably just continue to buy them anyway I suppose...  

 

I'm taking a punt on the BHDA version of the Steamshield canopy-style chestplate I originally got in Yellow Strong & Flexible polished, I'm hoping as it's close to FUD quality from the example pics I've seen seem so that I can get a closer to Factory finish chest on 'Streaker.


And seeing as I couldn't find any offers and P&P is so expensive, I figured I may as well chuck a Notorious Weaponmaster's Kibble in there too for Brainy...



Thought I'd give the grey metallic plastic a punt for that as it's not going to be in prominent display, and it seemed rude not to take a punt on Beta-testing his Hubcap head in YSFP...



Now I'll just need a spare additional TR 'Bee...yeah, I have a feeling that might not be so hard.

 

Weirdly I've never seen him play. As you say though, lovely chap. The punk scene me and the "what? he collects kids toys?" me are two different people. This is the closest they've ever come to meeting. Bit weird. Guilty secrets and all that.

I lost track of who was in what bands back then to be honest. Good times though. And yes, I'm older and greyer than I'd like to admit.

 

You probably know Bry better than I, I just trod the boards with him the one time and run into him in occasional random encounters!

 

In my head Cockwombles is a faded Scottish holiday resort, which had its peak in the 1930's. I'm thinking it should have one of those glorious art deco holiday posters the major railway companies produced in the interwar years.  

 

Pre orders?

Slim, but pricey: Devil Stinger and Spark Toys ST-02.

Looking forward to:

Iron Factory War Giant, Dai Atlas, Shockwave and the Seekers.

Curious about:

DX9's War In Pocket Seekers (c'mon Riker).
FansToys Mindwipe.

Wishful thinking:

Maketoys Crosshairs and Snapdragon.

Fucking get on with it, people are into your thing now and it's stopped being hip:

Wei Jiang Freeway.
Wei Jiang DOTM Megatron

Not bought yet cos I'm a tool:

KO Nottlebot Combiner guff.
FansHobby Repugnus

 

:O :O :O

Honestly surprised.

OH WAIT, I got a few for you:

- Best MP3P Evah.
- You owe it to yourself as a collector to own this
- No MP3P collection can be considered complete without it
- I'd pay $500 for one, still worth it
- BAD LIST
- Where's Dirge?

Any I forgot?

All the best
Maz

 

He used to be in a blinding band called The Kabinboy. Used to love it when they'd come to town.
Know what you mean about the two states. Fuck it though.

Ah, one of his many other lives. I remember him turning up at the Packhorse, pissed off his face, going on about he was a gay nazi. Eventually we figured out it was a role he was playing.

Near Saltcoats, I believe?

 

Is this whole " Where's Dirge" thing a thing now? (that's probably bad grammar on my part there!) I've seen it a lot recently- what's the original source? As to the rest, yeah, unfortunately I've read them a lot too...

 

Dirge is a dick though, innit. I like Dirge. He's proper into his shoegaze.

 

DX9 Provider, the toy I avoided for AGES, but now wonder what was i thinking. Love this guy. Has a fun transformation that makes sense even though the thing pretty much explodes. And he's a bit photogenic too.

Really tempted to get all the triple changers at this scale now. I know i shouldn't 'cus it's KFC, but that Ditka figure is calling.

I'm surprised too, but I got well distracted with Contact Shot and Carnifex and Hound and and and and.. y'see, and KOmbaticons and stuff like clothes and whisky.
