If only Leeds Woolies had any Alts left, I could go for a Swindle - the head remould looks spot on...

Ah, well - I'm on the way to kitbashing Strongarm into Swindle...

I can take a look see if he's still there next time I'm in town if you want.

Cheers Redimus but probably better not, I'm currently broke and if I start trying to collect alts now I'll just get frustrated and even more broke.

Besides I've still got Jazz, Wheeljack, Shockwave and Ratchet to get to finish my G1 fave characters collection so if I do start on Alts it had better be Jazz, Wheeljack or Shockblast.

If you look quickly at The Fallen's avatar,
Doesn't it look like tub of popcorn?

Had a look around Oldham today. Woolworths had the Movie basic-class figures in (no Clockers on the shelf but both Skyblast and Strongarm). Thought about getting Skyblast but decided not to.

The indoor market's toy stall had some interesting KOs, an oversized Prime (I'm guessing RM Prime) and 3 versions of Onslaught (remolded to have a flatnose cab), each coming with a Gestalt head and chest. One had Bruticus' head and chest, another had Bruticus's head and a jet-styled chestplate. The third looked like it had Micromaster Defensor's head and a chest that looked like Prime's. Each of the four also came with a KO Mircomaster Scrapper...erm, Buckethead (as his last release was called). £3 each. Almost picked one of them up, but figured I should save my money.

Jazz and ratchet shouldnt be too hard, Shockwavre will be bexpensive, but Wheeljack is rare as rocking horse ****.
Good luck on that ape like bastard.


Master Blaster,
how could you forget me! ME!! No more cookies for you!

Oh, and ive tried a new Alt Hunt style game in the cons forum of HMW, based on you guys. Anyone want to give it a go?

Shame, I've grown to like Skyblast. I picked up an Energon one in a job lot of TF's, sadly mine's missing the nosecone so is robot mode only but I've quite taken to the little fella. they'd be so much mileage in an oversize KO of him as a G1 cartoon Skyfire.

If that's the KO prime with the "Soldier Work Product" cardboard "trailer" section then it's a decent KO that's worth picking up, I got one delivered to work and got swamped by lads checking him out. I would have been tempted to have him on display here except you'd guarantee someone would nick it.

Psychout, yeah I'm probably gonna get a china KO shockwave and Energon Shockblast, make a mold of the Energon head and kitbash that onto the KO so that still leaves me the untouched energon one as well. Unless Hasbro decide to use that Shockwave Tit model in the new classics/universe line (pleeezzze!!)

E.Downshift & E.Tow-line kitbashes for Wheeljack & Ratchet, just trying to get a decent (cheapskate!) price for them and if the worst happens then an FAB Movie Jazz repaint for Jazz.

But there are always Alts for Wheeljack and Jazz and I could still go for an Alt Shockblast as well KO plans or not.

I just don't wanna get started on Alts because they (almost all) look great and I really won't stop.

Cos it's common sens that Germans with a bit of power are a very very bad thing, something not to pick on.

Ore is that me overestimating myself again?

Heck, i was just in temporary stasis.

Well, no it's personal!

Burn's already shot me in the pills over this.

For some reason, the HMW database only uses my old name; Lord crump.






I'm not quite sure how I hit the h key instead of the s key either

More than me. I get £5 a week

Count yourself lucky; back in the 80's when i was geting pocket money it was about 80p.

A month?

Psychout wrote:Count yourself lucky; back in the 80's when i was geting pocket money it was about 80p.

Ah, back in the day.


Wouldn't 80p of your money from back then be worth hundreds of pounds now?

I wish; a bank account my dad began for me with £2 in it when I was born in 1975 now has about 30-odd quid now. Thats pretty hefty inflation over 30+ years.

I should open a gold savers account when I win the Euro millions




I could not spend any of it for like 12 months, then buy all the tfs I've ever wanted with the interest!
