Henkei Sky(Jet)fire and Inferno arrived this morning. Inferno, despite being the most simple tranformation I've seen in a while, looks awesome. Jetfire, however, is omg amazing. everything about it just fits so well.
Bruticus reissue should be here in the next few days also, yay.

I've got some new acquisitions awaiting me in customs :-) I'm very excited about them and can't wait to blab about them Here's some hints as to what they are ! Whoever wins gets a free No Prize with their next order! :-) Hint #1: The Correct Answer will be announced in the "Other Toys" thread ;-) Hint #2: She's flaming hot and a good shot, although here she's not :-) Hint #3: It's just right for showing Jupitor to the girl you like! :-) Hint #4: The ladies love his three big head guns and this time they're straight rather than bent! Hint #5: When I put this on, people will either recognize me as a member of the greatest organization in human history OR they will wonder why a really lame Microsoft Paint drawing is featured prominently on my chest...

More of a re-acquisition today.
After searching through old stuff I found Squeezeplay and all his parts. Now my Nightbeat has a Headmaster sparring partner.

Action Master surgery has begun on Turbo Master. Superglue has been applied to the patient's broken cog, we will see if his mechanism will live again shortly!

Hmm, Action Master surgery was partially successful. I repaired the broken cog fine, but one of the arms has a faulty gear which stops it from turning all the way around. It seems to be slightly cracked by 0.1mm, but that is enough to throw the connecting teeth out of tolerance.
I guess my options are to: 1 - Get a second junker one and salvage the arm gear 2 - Cut the existing gear in half and hope I can make it slightly smaller 3 - Shave down the gear teeth to make them thinner with more clearance (would this even work?) 3 - Totally replace the gear mechanism with a new set from somewhere

Okay, I have swapped parts about now, and it seems the issue isn't in the slightly cracked gear, but one of the gears in the arm assembly being slight too far back. By about 0.1mm again.
So it will kinda work now, but only for a rotation or so, before you have to ease the hands back. The gears are so tightly fixed onto the metal rod though, I have no idea how to move it besides just breaking it in half and regluing it.
Unless I can actually replace the gear assembly. Do cogs come in standard sizes? is that a crazy idea?

Got Henkei Hot Shot coutesy of Pete, I have all the new ones now! The henkai one also comes with rocket launchers that turns into exhausts!
Interestingly, the Universe one has the holes to attach the additional rocket launchers on the arms and bottom of the car, but the bumper has been remolded, so the launchers won't actually attach onto it in car mode.

Picked up Ejector at Makro.
They've got Voyagers on offer at £15.99. But I've already got Mixmaster and I didn't like the look of Megatron.

Exactly! Poor Dion!
Although some folk think he may have been rebuilt into Ironhide. Or Ultra Magnus...
...but I believe he was rebuilt into Scorponok - because it makes no sense.

I think you've just invented a new kind of Transformer, one with a reversible crotch.
