I've also used the same as Cobo where you use the built in peg to hold the weight on top of the flap instead of pegged in.

I need to go ahead and ship my stack from TFS, which has some for those PE sets. I'm excited to play with those.

Which ones?

I'm assuming you mean the PE sets? The Bruts set and the black set.

I need to look harder at those PE sets. I'm not a huge fan of the feet, but the newer ones (Brut and Prime) feet look better to me. Do you guys know of any other companies doing kits, or even just feet? I really like the HFGs as hands. I don't mind them as feet either. Just wish they had ankle articulation.

I wish I could get just the feet, I don't mind the stock hands.

The newer ones like Bruts and OPs are cooler.

Will hooked me/us up with some super cheap KO versions.

Actually I'm kinda over CW and I'm starting to think I should see if I can get credit on those sets and get more figures - cause I need more figures.

My stack is kinda old you see and I can't believe I haven't been forced to ship it yet.

Yeah me too, ever since we saw that pic of Menasor next to the Turtles playset it seemed like the perfect thing to do. Cant find that picture anymore, bummer.

He still needs 145 more degrees before we can call him Mr Fahrenheit :lol:

We use Celsius here

heatwave is still going on but clear skies today which is a good thing.

Nice pics again, Menasor looks awesome next to gg. And I'm a fan of the neon colours...but I'm a nineties kid as well as am eighties kid.

Really!? But the UK still uses standard (not metric) measurements, right? I was kidding about the heat wave. I was at T in the Park many years back and it was a hot bugger. Saw some Scots whose skin was deeper red than their hair! :lol:

Check this fellas, I was just perusing Amazon again and the G2 Menasors all jumped back up to $90ish. Whew I got in there in the nick of time.

When I was watching Thundercracker heavily, the price would tick down 50 cents a day, and then jump $5 in an hour. It was craziness :MAXIMAL:

So all the things you all said about Quillfire were all right things to say, all day long.

So much character. Great colors with minimal paint apps. Nice transformation. Nicely articulated figure.

Had to make a sacrifice. I decided to pack up all my Gen WfC, and FoC toys to make room for Combiners and the future. Sorry Cary, nothing wrong with the toys, just need space to continue the Classics theme I started so many years ago. So I was able to get some guys off my desk. Needed room to breath and a change of scenery.
Here's the current state of my desk.

I spotted these Sprukits by Bandai at TRU a while back. I was there a week ago and they were all on clearence. So, I bit. Not Great, but not bad. I was expecting a little more color, and a little larger size. But a fun 20 minute build, and I like his Roman style.

Man, he is tiny. Smaller than a Microman.

and thats...
whats goin' down in the 'Tron!

We all know that whoever has treebeard on their side wins. Those autobots never stood a chance!

Treebeard is on nobody's side. Because nobody is on Treebeard's side.

I spotted those sprukit things at a local clearance store as well. Didn't realise they would be that small however. That little guy does make a nice stand in though with your autobots :lol:

The shop near me had batman in that range as well.

Z, I think those Batman and Superman Sprukits are a bit bigger than the random robot series. Possibly more colors and detail too.

Oh, and when I say Sprukits, it makes me think of this.

Now it isht toime un Sprukits vhen ve dance!

Yo Treebeard, there's this guy called Optimus who really likes cutting down trees in the forest with his big ass blades:

You can see us in the back trying to stop him while he slashes trees through acrobatic summersaults.

A Prime should know better.
