I got DOTM Deluxe Soundwave today and Make toys Hover and Bomber

He's really nice, complex transformation weird shoulders though and some back kibble. Doesn't look like he will get a UK release.

Would get the make toys 2 pack, need some free cash.

Both companies are producing the same characters eventually.

Must admit though, Im really liking the look of Cosmos.

Waiting for the metal version of powerglide from the guys that made the metal Wheelie.

don't know if i mentioned that i got cyberverse ratchet (quite good) and deluxe lasrbeak (brilliant) from...i think a sainsburys.
also, watched ROTF again the other day, and noticed that they use:
1) the trikes that got turned into a human alliance
2)just after simmons called for the mega weapon, there was a plane with a disk on that looked suspiciously like that green air raid DOTM one.

Just ordered the WfC repaint of Cyb legends Starscream. A bit odd to be getting a UK exclusive from Singapore but I thought £6 shipped didn't sound too bad. Still need to track down the Skywarp and Universe 1.0 Ramjet decos (these were both Botcon jobs I think?), not sure if I'll bother with the TRU 4 pack version. The guy's got a few left if anyone is in need,

It's been a year since I started my youtube channel...All because you guys told me to.
Well, ArmadaPrime, I hope you're happy with yourself.

If anyone has been holding off on Leader class DOTM figures. I just picked up Bumblebee for £22 from my local Tesco. He's OK but I would have been well disapointed to pay full price for him. Seems Hasbro spent most of the money for this figure on the gun pack. But they did have quite a few Sentinal Primes left. Happy Hunting.

Tesco Northampton in case there a different price in other stores.

I'm feeling so MEH about this assignment that I may pop over to TRU to see if they still have PCC figures. They had Heavytread, Skyhammer and Undertow the other day, might still be there, for £4.97. Just a little pick-me up, easy to fiddle with, and I could keep switching drones around on one of them.

Damn you, Lewis Carroll, damn you.

yeah, the listing didn't explicitly say it was a pre-order, and now it turns out it's gonna take longer cos it's coming from japan! It says nowhere that it's a takara one! But I'm not complaining.

For my money you can't go wrong with any of those three. If I had to pick one to reccomend it would be Undertow, but that's at least partly because I don't think we see enough boat based TFs and partly because he took me so damned long to find.

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Fri Jan 13, 2012 7:12 pm

PCCs for a fiver again, eh? I might have to take a look at my local TRU sometime soon. Quite fancy Undertow myself. And Skyhammer maybe, the name always makes me think of that Fuzor toy, but I love me some PCC Decepticons.

In non TF related news I am now at my new house. Might take a while to get properly organised but I'll look at doing the long threatened collection pictures once I'm set up. And after a month of asking the question finally got confirmation on moving day that we could bring the cat, which was a huge relief.

I keep meaning to do that when I get my own place too, but finding room for over 3,000 little(and some not so little) transforming robots isn't easy.

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Sat Jan 14, 2012 5:56 am

Great news about house AND cat, waaaaghlord.

Personally I don't have any more room for anything, but I will be moving again in July/August, to yet another rented vaguely student-esque property.

All depends on applications, and how successful they may or may not be.

MY Igear Spray and Rager arrived today they are cool little figures

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Sat Jan 14, 2012 8:43 am

Got my Rager this morning too. At stupid o'clock in the morning. Postie must have got a shock when half-naked zombie me answered the door :lol:

went back to sleep, and opened him up not long ago. Dead nice, everything I'd been hoping for. Seaspray isn't all that attractive to me regardless of size or mold, so I'm okay to skip him, but I am up for getting more of these little guys.

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Sat Jan 14, 2012 1:55 pm

Was supposed to have a delivery today, but DPD failed me.
Amazon refunded the delivery cost though, so that was nice.

Waaaaghlord, Undertow is amazing. Thanks for the tip!
I also got Skyhammer, but I'm not too convinced about some of his joints: everything seems a bit too loose. Anyone else had this problem?

Why whats up wasp

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Sat Jan 14, 2012 6:31 pm

I think he's referring to the upcoming Prime figures release in the UK.

Either that or the SOPA.

I don't remember having any floppiness issues with PCC Skyhammer but with everything still in boxes can't really grab him for a refresher at the moment. The living room is coming together. A lot of shelving that had toys on back at the flat has gone downstairs to make sure we have enough book space (I know, I know, you can never have enough book space) and my room needs a lick of paint before I even start getting toys out. To replace my lost toy shelving I'm going to add to the number of plastic shelving units from Blackspur that I started picking up last year. They're not the prettiest solution but being open on the sides and back means that any limbs and kibble poking out doesn't get in the way too much (looking at you Armada seekers). The plan with these is to have them end on to the walls and get some glass cut to fit down at the local double glazing firm to fit between shelves and maximise usable display space. I'll have to see how things look then but I've got a feeling I may also need to source some perspex boxes to give a little extra height to rear rankers. It'll take a little time to get sorted but should look good and hopefully give me enough space to get everything out at once.
