Well hello Springer's shoulders. You're going to be annoying, aren't you.

Looks lovely but its like many of the movie moulds it really requires you to remember how to transform it rather than being able to intuit it.
I like a puzzle so Im mostly fine with that, but it does leave Springer seeming the odd man out in the line.

Won some stuff on eBay tonight.. I had originally made the guy an offer on a bill but of 6 of the things he had up. He politely declined and I won them just now for half what I would have paid.. 😀

Slim pickings at MCM Glasgow on Saturday - all I picked up was a TM2 Sonar for a fiver, and that was mostly out of guilt of having made the seller look through his tub of toys that weren't on the stall...

Does anyone else have Mirage yet? He's superb! Got the holo version and he's fab See tmukhub.proboards.com/post/385764/thread as to why I don't have the proper one yet. Did you not get Impactor? He's even better. The two stars of the deluxe line for my money

Impactor isn't on my list. But... he sure looks good...
Mirage is very awesome, even with the funky stuff going on on the backs of his lower legs. He's so solid though, and and and Siegey.
LONG LIVE SIEGE!

Impactor is good, not great but pretty good. Mirage robot and car mode are average but the transformation itself? Love it!

Siege is done matey. Yesterday's news. Toys accounted for. Account closed.
However Earthrise should be better. Looks like Siege + earth modes - hyper detail - shit splash.

That's what I said, too fast.
You don't actually like the damage do you? I suppose Ironworks has a kind of grime effect.

Took a walk down to Smyths this lunchtime (it is a forty minute round trip, plus four minutes to get what I went for, pay and leave again). Was in luck - the new Wave of Deluxes was in. After a moments hesitation over Barricade, I snagged the Impactor I went for and came back.
He is a fine, fine toy. Genuinely never thought I would own an Impactor toy - the first one was almost impossible to get, the second not even distributed over here... It seems it is third time lucky for Impactor and for Karl.
I do like his squareness, and his general proportions. The fact that he has a port on the reverse of each hand means that certain Battlemasters (Smashdown, the axe-pteranodon that I call Crescent Apple) can actually be plugged in instead of held in the hands if you like. Which is a fun play feature. Cracking toy.

Damn it, Karlos! Stop making me want to buy Impactor!

That's what I said, too fast. You don't actually like the damage do you? Errrm, yeah, yeah I don't mind it. Siege is.... not Cybertron, it's not Earth.... IT'S SOMEWHERE INBETWEEN. It's perfect. And... over... Except for one small thing..... Omega Supreme

Completely failed to update these, but this week in the conjunx's absence* I have acquired:
Cyberverse Spark Armour Ratchet - He's a great little toy, and this range are still great to fiddle with. But the white plastic they've used makes him look a bit cheap, so he's not a complete success.
Cyberverse Spark Armour Optimus Prime - Just superb. Yeah, everyone loves the spinning trick that the jet does when it combines, but the Prime figure on his own is the best articulated figure I've played with in the line thus far. AND in robot mode has a very Action Master-esque quality to him.
Siege Impactor - Just bloody brilliant.
(*Like her presence doesn't stop me from buying toys. In fact, it usually makes it worse. Actually I just got off a video call with her showing me a toy store in Singapore, with me mostly saying "we don't need that/we don't have that much money spare right now"...)

I really am getting fed up of you guys all apparently having action figure amenable wives or girlfriends! You never miss a chance to rub it in, do you?! Lucky bastards...

Small parcelette just arrived containing Highjump and Powertrain along with a Cyberverse Scraplet. Not interested in Cyberverse really, but had to have a Scraplet.
