There's nothing wrong with them. They look *exactly* like the G1 toys. They are the same size so look great together. -Ralph Oooohhhhh yes! Of course! They look great "together"... Yes, they look REALLY GREAT "together"... BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU £#@&ING WELL WANT TO £#@*ING WELL PUT THEM WITH @€$&ING OTHER CHARACTERS?!?!?! AND YOU FIND #@&$ING BRAWN IS THE SAME #+£@£€+ING HIEGHT AS SLAG?!?!?!!!!!

I don't care that he's giant size. Fab toy. -Ralph

Not yet. I don't own all 4 TR Soundwaves. I have the original, the Bumblebee movie remould and the Golden Lagoon one. I don't have the Japanese Legends one.

That’s fair, I have TR Soundwave and I don’t mind him being massive. It’s a sacrifice to make the tapes scale right.

Disco base mode is great. He has survived in my collection because of the base mode and because he goes with CW Leader Megs and does look good with his tapes. He also displays well with Blaster.

Make Perceptor a leader and cheat by using the Overlord Tank legs. Surely you've looked at TR Overlord/Skyshadow and gone "The legs look how Percetor's do in Microscope mode"??

I have 7 preoders open, and considering I have never preodered before this summer, that's quite scary.

Whether this is due to stock issues because of the Current Situation or a change in how the market works I am not too sure. -Ralph

It does seem that there's a correlation between not going out to actual shops, FOMO and people being stuck waiting at their PC's.

Post by The Doctor on Aug 27, 2020 10:43:49 GMT
There's something to that too. I only ordered toys online every now and then and mostly got them from shops. Now it's the other way round for me!

For the last 15 years or so ive always found things I like after the event so internet shopping has been the only way, since I only began with Transformers again since lockdown I've not actually gone into a store and seen one on a shelf. It seems odd to me getting one in real life 😀

Prior to this year most of my toy buying happened at TFN, due to not being on top of online shopping and nothing really turning up around here. It was a nice surprise when it did though!
It almost feels too serious now, with everything being a pre-order or exclusive or both.

I've been a predominantly an on-line shopper for a long time because I rarely have time to get to shops, and I don't really buy that much.

I'm counting my figures left to get each time a Kingdom reveal comes out. I'm not into BW (sorry guys) so my numbers are looking nicer right now depending on all the bloomin' selects.
Collecting is always brilliant at the start, fun in the middle and a grind at the end, but I do find the pre-ordering of everything and the rush to buy it really annoying
