Took your advice on this and I'm very impressed. The Hulk actually has some good characterization for a change, as opposed to just Banner. I'm 9 eps in and while there are a lot of balls up in the air it looks like it should all weave together quite nicely. Only unfortunate thing is that the playlist up on youtube seems to have the early eps a bit out of order, with the Breakout story ahead of the individual character focus episodes that presumably should have come first, but I guess that's no real biggy. Only thing that I would have really viewed in a different light watching them in the proper order was the brief Black Widow appearance in the Breakout eps.

no, that's the order they're meant to be in, they act as prequels to breakout and give more focus on the members individually before they each become Avengers. I was a bit confused, but everything ties up nicely, really every episode follows from the one before it, there aren't really any stand-alone adventures, as everything has repercussions and is at least referenced as a part of the story's impetus later on. The breakout ends up being the theme behind the entire series, as all the villains they face (who aren't asgardian) are ones that broke out, that they're trying to round up.

I finished watching last night, and thoroughly enjoyed each and every episode. There's just such a pleasing mix of old school Stan and Jack Marvel and newer post-Civil War stuff blended together seamlessly. It's so much fun.

I've seen a couple of episodes of Avengers on TV. I saw Breakout first so I assumed it was the first episode. I may just search it out on youtube to catch up.

I've been in a bit of a faze of not getting any Transformers for a while. I'm still waiting for Wave 2 to get released.

Avengers EMH is now cancelled. Season 2 will switch to single-episode stories half-way through the season, and no season 3.

Welcome to the Earth's Mightiest Heroes thread, formerly known as the ODB.

That really is a shame that the series won't be going much further. I just finished up season 1 and I'll happily take however much more we can get. I think this is my favourite Marvel series since the 90s X-Men.

Gah! My Tesco finally gets in a case of Prime deluxes and what do I find on the shelf? 3 'Bees, 2 Cliffs and 2 'Jackies. Beaten to Soundwave, damn it!

Do you want me to post you one?

They have loads here in Norwich.

As they still have Undertow, and recently back on the shelves...

..Wreckloose, Undermine and Backstop. Of course.

Nah, you're all right mate. I'm heading out round Middlesborough and Redcar for free comicbook day, so I'll be hitting a load of budget retailers, supermarkets and possibly TRU while I'm there, should find him somewhere.

When is wave 2 due out in the UK? Someone did say in another thread, but for the life of me I can't remember.

News Credits: 6188 · Sun Apr 22, 2012 2:12 pm

I saw somewhere between 20 and 30 April, according to FPI.

Then someone else was told by Hasbro that some of the figures should be at retail right now, or soon.

No idea on actual dates though.

A Soundwave that ABSOLUTELY WAS NOT on the shelf the other day was on the shelf today and is on the shelf no longer. I picture a child being told no by a parent, Soundwave abandoned in some desolate food isle and later returned to the toy section by a bored member of staff. Got my Soundwave.

News Credits: 6188 · Mon Apr 23, 2012 3:20 pm

Nice.

I got me an Animated Swindle, Shockwave and looking for an Oil Slick.

DeceptiConGrats! (well, not for the kid, but for you!)
He looks like the one out of wave 1 I'm most likely to buy, but there's something about him I'm not overly keen on.

Yesterday, I got the WFC Megatron I won off ebay ages ago. Finally! (not the seller's fault that my local post office parcel depot is in the middle of nowhere and Royal Mail's redelivery process sucks) and he's a cool toy. Of course, now I'm sad I passed on the WFC box-set when it turned up at TRU last year. Also, realised I have at least as many Megatron's as I do Primes, although not always from the same lines.

I'd say go for it on Soundwave. He's small and fairly simple and woefully underpainted, but he's also fairly on model and has a cool Lazerbeak and hell, he's Soundwave. He should look great surrounded by a gaggle of jet Vehicons when we get those a year or so down the line.

I was int Stockport today and they had a load of Prime Deluxe Soundwave and Wheeljack in so if you want one go grab them, They also had those Cyberton Scout Repaints like Wreackloose and Backstomp but they were £10 for a Scout thats a rip off

Also we should be Getting Prime RID wave 2 soon acording to Full Metal Hero

News Credits: 3 · Sat Apr 28, 2012 3:18 pm

Anybody looking for a uni 1.0 (as in when it called itself robots in disguise (no, i don't mean RID)) bumblebee, hrod, or starcream?
There's about 5 of each at...wait for it...a barnardo's charity shop in woodley :lol:

They were £4.98, MISB, so i got meself a screamer. Finally have the classics seeker mold. Hurrays and all that. And he's in good shape and all that. Minor paint-fail on the back of his left shoulder, but that's just a on-off error. Joints a little stiff after sitting ssealed up like that for ages, but otherwise fine. Plastic feels safe to me.
as i say, hurrays and all that
:KREMZEEK:

EDIT: fixed kremzeeks. also, like this:

You mean Classics.
Universe 1 was the lot called "universe" in 2003
Cool man! My screamer has always had stiff bits and an overly loose shoulder which can't be tightened. Sad really, he's the first use of that mold and both my acid storm and thundercracker work better than he does.

It is actually beautiful. But yeah, not amazing on quality but nothing that's actually bad/not working. I know want every iteration of that mold ever. (a la seibertron's signature pic)

I can sort you out with a US carded Gen Thundercracker if you're in need on that one. £10 posted or swap for a Classics Starscream if you can pick up another one (gave both of mine away after I got the Henkei).

News Credits: 3 · Sun Apr 29, 2012 2:48 pm

Swapping for a crackers might actually be a viable option (parents depending ofc grrr). He looks nice and all, and it seems like a bargain for me. (cr@p shouldn't say that :p) And it's the one at the front of your siggy, just to clear anything up that may have become unclear through the course of my lack-of-knowing-exactly-what-line-it-was-from lol.

Actually the one in my sig pic is the Botcon 07 Games of Deception version rather than the Generations one. I've got one of those loose to get rid of as well, but I'd have to ask a bit more for that one. I really don't mind letting a Gen version go at a good price. I've got 2 on card that have been sat around since I split up a Warpath case last summer, so they're just dead money until I manage to sell or trade them on. I'm using the Henkei version as my 'on shelf' 'Cracker since he's got matched wing stripes and chromed launchers alongside Henkei 'Screamer and 'Warp, to my mind the most cohesive set of season 1 Seekers available from the Classics mould. If you can get another Starscream that would be my preference over cash. I've been looking to reacquire one for cheaps for a while now to sit at the G2 end of my small scale Classics.
