Been very busy recently while amassing Siege at the same time, so having just put all the Siege together in the same place I find I must now open Shockwave, Soundwave, Starscream, Cog, Sixgun, Ironhide, Prowl, Ravage/Laserbeak and two of the Battlemasters.
I know it's fashionable to moan that Siege is giving us the same old characters, but my word there's a powerful thrill to be had from getting numbers of those chaps together in a uniform style. Hound, Prowl, Ironhide, Sideswipe. God, this is exciting stuff. I'm also ecstatic to have a Sixgun to go with Metroplex and Scamper.

This is The End of Pinwig. Opening so many toys at once will explode him.

('Pinwig Implosion Saving Sack') You're going to put a bag on my head? Well, the Battlemasters pass. They may not have the paint or knee joints of the Takara ones, but they feel better.

And just to clarify, the P.I.S.S. is to protect us from an imploding Pinwig. It is a well studied situation that if Pinwig were to open too many toys at once, he would implode, rather than explode. His outer layers would collapse in until they rebound off his solid core, blasting outwards with more energy than a Pinwig receives from the Sun in an entire year! So the P.I.S.S. is weaved from stable metallic hydrogen thread and design to contain the immense energies unleashed. It can then be super cooled and stored for a time in the distant future when hopefully Pinwig reanimation technology has been invented.

I'm glad you've put so much thought into this. For the sake of everyone else. If I'm going to be covered in anyone's P.I.S.S. I'd rather it be yours. Being a medical professional I'm sure it'll be of superior quality.
However, I'm on a slow but steady course here. Battlemasters and Prowl are out and on the Siege shelf. Today I think might have to be Soundwave, Laserbeak and Ravage.

Man I need to update this thread after my latest eBay and forum purchases. I’m too scared to write things down now though because it will show how off the rails I’ve done on vintage stuff this year!

which forums are you purchasing from? I only ever think about eBay for G1.

Got some off here, Facebook groups are great, generally a little cheaper than eBay.

The conjunx managed to pick me up a Six-Gun from Forbidden Planet in Southampton when we were down last week, and I finall got a chance to open him last night. And he's great. He's not quite as essential to me as Cogman was, since I have no Metroplex, but he's also the better-looking figure, to my mind - I love both modes, but the vehicle mode especially is pretty nifty. And seemingly more flexible than Cogman's...

I sense Llamagod is either being a bit naughty, a possibility, or is having some name confusion, also a possibility, in the last post!
Six Gun is fab, loving mine. I will need multiples. We're up to two so far with Cog!
Hoping the rest of my w2 Deluxes get sent soon!

The God of Llamas was indeed confused, as a result of being tired after all his country-traversing last week. I did, of course, mean Cog, not Cogman. Although Cogman was also essential, but just for different reasons.
As a consequence of my find in the discounts thread, I did on Tuesday night pick up the Transformers Bumblebee Greatest Hits Cassette Pack. Having not owned the bird/tank and cat/plane molds before, these are certainly interesting toys - not the best, I just wanted some so that Titans Return Soundwave would no longer be lonely. Frenzy has a nice head sculpt, and has the added bonus of upsetting the conjunx thanks to being named "Frenzy". The age old battle continues... And the Bumblebee will, I think, be donated to my niece. Because... yeah.
