NO I DON'T! I PROVED HOW I CAN CLEVERLY MOCK YOUR LACK OF IMPORTANT SCALE-UNDERSTANDING BY MIMMICKING A SPEACH BY THE ONE TRUE PRIME JUST BEFORE HOTROD MURDERED HIM! HAA!

People asked for scale in Transformers so Hasbro made two scaled lines: Siege and Studio Series. And yet fans still complain about scale. Thus scale is rendered meaningless.

Thus proving SCALE is important! Because it provokes such PASSION! Compells strividity!

It was in Germany so....

I sourced it from TF Robots in the Netherlands, which is closer to Swindon than it is to Berlin. So I'll chalk it up as a win...

[Slack]

My sister came back from New York (She is in advertising and was doing some work in London) Quarantine for 2 weeks then photo shoot, 1 day back with my parent then back to New York and 2 weeks Quarantine. Crazy World. She brought back some things she'd been holding onto for me for a while but I am under pain of death to send her nothing else :-D.

So I have just got Siege Laserbeak and Ravage, Singe, Rung. T30 Gears and Eclipse (Damn you Kingdom). And the best of all. Autobot vs Decepticon Micromaster 10 pack. Which puts my Siege collection at 100% complete (I think)

[Shockprowl]

I'm still there. #@$% little people.

[Fortmax2020]

With you, Battle Brother.

[The Doctor]

WHAT.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

I would like the right Targetmaster partners for the Targetmasters, but I'm not fussed about the others. Was pleased to get Crosshairs' little chap with Siege Megs.

A preorder that wasn't due until October 31st according to the website unexpectedly arriving!

Slightly unhappy that they put a garish sticker insisting it's a collectible and not a toy for kids directly on the box though - I like to keep the Selects packaging, it's nicely reusable, and removing that has taken away some of the surface of the sticker where the name is. Will have to give them some feedback on that.

I've also thrown Siege Crosshairs onto the want list because, haha, getting Pinpointer with Megatron is leading me down that path...
