I thought you already had all the combiners, Phil?

I do. But my Superion is the western one with black HFGs.
It's bothered me since passsing on Superion that I didn't have it.
All I need now from UW is Menasor and Optimus Maximus. And a fixed Bruticus.

Nope. If those three get reissued, I will buy them.
I may have to hunt Op down anyway

Good lord that took a while. That set came out in January! Were Hasbro UK involved?

End of Feb I think, Devastator was Jan. Obviously been on a very slow boat!

No, they were a few days apart. I took delivery of Superion 7th Feb. It's a shame we haven't heard about more reissues since. I was hoping for more.

MP G2 Sideswipe and 3 Throttlebots arrived today. Why did I not get Sideswipe earlier?!

I eBayed my Hasbro Aerialbots and got more for them than the UW box cost. Largely down to the strategy of not opening them.

Select Swoop and Studio Series Bumblebee Optimus Prime came through to cheer me up on a sick day!
While there are some QC issues with Swoop they aren't deal breakers for me; joints are a bit looser, but he can hold a pose still, and the grey plastic quality difference isn't a big issue for me. The only downside to it is that being a lighter shade of grey he doesn't swap directly into a team of the other POTP Dinobots without standing out a bit.
And I've got so used to blue chested Swoop now he feels like a bit of a usurper! I may call him Divebomb instead...

Studio Series Op is great, beautiful looking robot mode especially. Transformation is a little fiddly and the resulting truck mode is good but let down a little by not tabbing together as solidly as I'd like. The gun is very nice as well. One of my favourite tests of articulation is to see how well they can sit on the edge of something, and this Op does not let me down! Not only does he sit well, his feet can dangle!
Sitting on the bookshelves looking pensive will be his default home for the foreseeable future.

Select Swoop sounds more and more pump the more I hear about it. I'll stick with blue Swoop!

Have to admit, over the course of the day Select Swoop has been losing me, especially after standing him next to POTP Swoop. The darker grey works better for me, and I find the blue chest contrasted with the gold pteranodon head genuinely nicer to look at.

*sees all the pictures of BB Prime* *regrets his decision to order both Prime and Rampage at the same time to save on shipping, since of course they're both in the same wave and would of course both ship together. OF COURSE*

<puts arm round his brother in waiting purgatory> I ordered my Prowl, Sixgun and Ironhide with Chromia. Because they're in a case together.

Bills first, robots after! Of course, we are going to have to move again soon because I have no space left, that is when the divorce happens.
