I backed away from YJ today there was simply to much I wanted. I feel happier about my car boot finds much cheaper and I don't have to wait or delivery. Not o many thins today, but still found Armada Overload, Cybertron Stormjet, a Mystic Force Megazord, more turtles, a Centurian The blue one, Mask Rhino (I always wanted one of them even if its missing the rear wheel vehicle), BW TM Rhinox, Tarantulas and Cheetor. Oh and an animorph some weapons and a movie legends Jazz.
Then I went to Asda and thanks to a checkout error got Scalpel and Ejector, but only paying for one. Currently reduced to £5 and I got my staff discount to. Great stuff.
Oh and nice find on the Inferno and Skyfire.

Nice finds! The blue Centurion was Ace McCloud, and was the best one!
Missing the back vehicle to Rhino isn't a bit deal. I didn't like it when I was little - it was really simplistic, not really a vehicle (the man just sits in a little cockpit and that is all) and was really hard to unlock from the main lorry

Picked up some of the movie legends from Asda. Autobot Springer is such a great wee toy, a rival for Spychanger Scourge in the awesomeness in small toy category.

So I checked eBay today and I've managed to secure the knockoff of Metrotitan that's been doing the rounds and pick up a spare Slammer for my Metroplex who was MIA. I was a little suspicious of the seller for Metrotitan as I ended up paying the £20 max bid I had put on it - when I checked the bidding history one anonymous bidder had bid in 6 increments to push the price up to exactly my max. Still I was prepared to pay £20 which isn't bad I feel. Now I'll just have to lust over the missing micromaster till the end of my days. Pictures and report to follow if anyone else is interested in this knockoff.

Is that the Metrotitan packaged in Metroplex's box?
Transforming Thomas arrived today. The toy looks a little bigger than the one posted here. The card and bubble came quite damaged, so I have no choice to open him/them. I was going to keep the KO/manip carded.
The KO Wheelie I managed to get is of the henkei toy in a darker shade of Orange. I hope it holds together...
The KOs or should I say 'fakes' of the G1 TFs are pretty good from what I've experienced so far, but I am only judging that from the spy cassettes I have (Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak, Ravage) which are actually more sturdy than the real McCoys.

Now I'll just have to lust over the missing micromaster till the end of my days. Metrobomb is Skystalker, but the purple body is black. You should be able to find a cheap Skystalker and paint it.

Does the KO Metrotitan come with the extra ramp the original has?

Not as far as I can tell - he's basically a recoloured Metroplex, so only has what Metroplex has. I can't figure out where that ramp connects to him anyway- anyone know?

The TFU links are not working for me. I keep getting a protected .gif notice.
Will get Metrotitan out in a bit.
I must have got randomly fortunate with the colour turnout on my Thomas. I think mine is possibly different maybe in assortment size. It was also packaged as the separated trains rather than the assembled gestault.

TFU's images are protected so other sites cant just link to them and steal the bandwidth - given the subject matter that is probably for the best.
All you need to do is paste the link into a new internet window and it'll show up.

That's a random place for a ramp. It would have been better to have a connection to the big ramp from his chest so you can propel micromasters around your city.

IIRC it's so you can connect Metrotitan up to other Micromaster bases.

So, Henkei Megatron, Hotshot and Octane arrived yesterday, Octane and Megatron are fantastic. Hotshot is meh, but then I always found that mould a bit of a let down. I also went into town, visited TRU and FP. Managed to pick up Aniversaire Countdown, which whilst not a brilliant toy on its own, I find to be rather fun. Got my hands on Voyager Animated Prime, which is very funky, and the Jetfire 2 pack, which sucks absolute balls. In FP I managed to grab Henkei Galvatron, another nice mould for me, but his canon-arm and joint are very annoying, and Henkei Ironhide, which well... yeh, sucked.
All in all a good hall, but no more buying for me now till I go to MCM at the end of October =/

The Postie has been and gone. Still no Nightbeat ear... -Ralph 8 days since I bought it, it hasn't turned up yet so I've asked the seller if they've posted it yet. Meanwhile, Nightbeat is on the edge of his seat, wondering if he will be able to hear ever again. -Ralph

An odd thing happened. I forgot to ask for anything transformery for my bday. Well I got a moonpig Transformers car with my head stuck on top of Sams, but that aside, nothing. Popped out to see if I could rectify this. Asda didnt have Nightbeat and Tesco had nothing much of anything and TRU had plenty but all at silly prices. TK Max saved the day with Legends Universe Leo Prime something I always meant to pick up but never did.
Not quite new but I got around to opening Henkei Cyclonus from AA. I can't decide if its better than Hound, but wow I like. Also opened Ejecter and Scalpel, even though its missing half its toaster mode Ejecter is great, robot mode is so full of demented character.
Annnd, James provided me with a massive 92 issues marvel TF UK on my trip down to London on Tuesday. My needs list just plummeted from around 100 to 10. And I finally nabbed Spotlight Vol 3.
Oh and there was more accumulated crap from the wednesday carboot.

He's got more than enough other issues that not having the other autobots laughing at him all the time is probably for the best. Oh and it was TFCC Nightbeat not Botcon. You can tell because they save the decent moulds for Botcon. Andy

He was Botcon Nightbeat first - the mould in those colours was used for the customise class in 2008.

The saga of Nightbeat's ear is over. Upon receiving Nick's spare, I found it was his right ear. Then I checked the auction picture to see which ear that one was. At which point I realised I had been a moron and got my parts mixed up and have bought his handgun...which I already have.
Bobbins.
I still require a left ear for Nightbeat.

But his gun is HUGE in comparison to his ear!
Did you think he was Prince Charles or something? ;D
At least it'll be easy to sell on!

Post by The Doctor on Sept 12, 2009 22:00:14 GMT
The auction picture shows a black Nightbeat gun on its' own, not next to anything. There was no way to tell the size of it. Easy mistake to make.
I'll either have Nightbeat duel wield or donate the extra gun to Toy-Fu.
He doesn't half look daft with one ear!
