Sadly, another bust on the Chaos on Velocitron hunt, so picked up a Krok as a consolation prize. Already loved TR Skullcruncher/smasher, and the crazy neon colours are great fun. Pity the hatch for the Titan Master is still that rubbery plastic though. I'd have rather they'd replaced that as I always found it too fiddly to get back open.

Beast Machines dragon mode Megatron arrived a couple of days ago, thanks to an accidental (well...) impulse eBay purchase during work. He's not the greatest toy ever, but he does have his charms. And I like his shower curtain mode.
Also, thanks to having seen one recently, I also got a Buzzsaw from the same seller. Just so I could fiddle with his dingle dangle. (Buzzsaw's, that is. Not the seller's.)

I also enjoy that he's the Predacon from Beast Wars who joined the good guys for Beast Machines.

Picked him up along with Deluxe BM Primal, Scavenger and Mirage from Jenners in Edinburgh. I genuinely think he is a great fun little toy. He has a lot of fiddle-factor to him. Karl

On this flipside though, one of his arms is just "eeeeh stick some legs there"

Got a text from DPD to tell me my Siege toys have been delivered.
Well, when they say delivered they mean left on the doorstep in the open for everyone and their granny to see. Thankfully its a nice neighbourhood and theres no chance of them getting nicked.

I'll be able to pick mine up tomorrow but I'm working the weekend. So could have a fiddle and let you know Wednesday if someone else doesn't do it prior to then. I'm not going for anything above Deluxe though, the battle damage paint looks cheap and nasty on the voyager (I also hate the Prime cab eyebrows and the Megatron bot mode) and the price for the leaders is expensive and nasty. If Shockwave ever goes sub-£30 I'll jump in but he doesn't do enough to justify £50 and Magnus looks like a folded up plastic shopping basket so it would need to be B&M prices for me to get him because i really only want the white Optimus.

There are some pics where people have removed the battle damage paint and they looked great.
I'm sure we'll see 'clean' repaints at some point.

It still wouldn't convince me to get them tbh. There's been better versions of both characters in recent lines. Which is a shame, usually when I see Prime and Megatron toys I turn into a kid again. I was ecstatic at finding Ultra size Megatron from the Cyberverse cartoon in the shops, the big chunky git that he is. Looking forward to the bairn opening it at Christmas.

Platinum insane colours Blitzwing and Astrotrain have just arrived from A1! Astrotrain is even more garish looking in hand... Yay!

So Blitzwheels and Astackle are super fun. Not much mold degredation that I can see. One of Astackle's legs isn't as fully extended as the other, but that's the only problem I've found.
Loving them.

I also picked up the Blitzhwheels and Asstackle* set at the weekend. I mean, I was in A1, so it would have been rude not to.
So far I've only played with Blitzwing, but so far he seems perfectly decent.
(*I like these names. I will be using them.)

Thanks to the truly magnificent Mr Ayres I now have the Transformers Go! Goradora set (the TF Prime Abominus combiner). This means I am only missing Dragotron now from a complete set of the anime cast.
Pinwig plays with toys tonight! Hurrah!

Pinwig is it G12 or G23 you need?

Post by Pinwig on Nov 29, 2018 22:33:04 GMT
G23. I've got the Hasbro one, but I need the big red fella to finish the set. Amazon is the best answer. He's been £40 on there for years, but recently went up to £50.
