Picked up a Cyberverse Jerfire at my local Toymaster, the one with the tank add on, for the boy’s bday coming up. Looks pretty cool - can’t stretch to that Siege one!

Hah, yes of course! I am getting in to the harder to find / more expensive territory now though so my buying of G1 will slow down quite a lot. I have a list! But what happens when you have them all? -Ralph

But what happens when you have them all? -Ralph Hmmm, at current rate I think that will take up to ~5 years. Then I need to replace the reissues with vintage. Got a few bots that are purely placeholder and need replacing too. A lot of current / chug stuff needs sacrificing to the sales piles to reclaim some space, and fund minty G1 purchases.. A Grand Plan!

Powertrain and Highjump arrived this morning. Decent fellows, but Highjump has niggles. Partly its the overlong arm/wheel combo, partly the fact that his hood doesn't seem to snugly fit anywhere in robot mode. No limbs popping off yet though!
Good lads. I am fully committed to Micromaster madness now.

Thanks to Pinwigs Eagle Eye Action and a small bout of depression, three cheap Prime Masters arrived this morning. I'm going to be looking for the rest of them that can double as the Masterforce characters now.

We did not and was with people they would have known which is surprising! Did bump in to the Mapes twins and Sven was of course selling.

I had cause to pass a Smyths today....
TWO SIEGE REFLECTORS!!!!
Add these to the one I have on order from Kapow and I HAVE ALL THREE!
They only had two. Two Hounds. One Springer. A million Starscreams. Couple of Leader Optimuseses. And that's it (other than crappy movie figures annoyingly in similar boxes to Siege, what's that about?).
The Springer looked good, actually. But he's not on my list.
Oh, and no, Pinwig, there weren't any Jetskyfires.

Pity.
Looks like I've missed the delivery at my closest one. Website says they have Red Alert but no Brunts or Springers. Poo. I must go that way tomorrow on the way home to look.

They don't seem to last long in the shops. I think I got lucky.
(Maybe I should've got Springer.... NO! He's not on my List!).
I can look again in that Smyths, Pins, but it's small and I won't be going that way until next week at the earliest.

Going by sightings and Colin it looks like the recent wave of new Siege in Smyths amounted to...a case each of the size classes. Well done, Hasbro UK.

I found TR/PotP deluxes increasingly hard to get at Smyths as the line went on. Just thinking Smyths might be more the ones cutting back.

That's the way it goes, isn't it? Initial waves are fairly abundant, but then later it all dries up. Like old skin that's seen too much sun...
They don't want our money!
