How many Transformers have you acquired in 2022 so far?

[Shockprowl]

Pontoons.

[Benn]

Shush.

[Pinwig]

That's a nice photo, are you using a light tent for the flat background? That is the view on one of my shelves at the moment but I never got as far as the picture. Where did that Galvatron gun come from?

[Benn]

Kinda, I've basically got an A3 sheet of paper taped to a wall! It mimics the effect okay for my needs, but you do have to be a bit creative with the angles for the bigger toys or group shots.

I'm not sure where the gun came from, it was a Christmas gift from Ed and the box is long gone. He should know, if he can be summoned.

[The Doctor]

SUMMON THE ED.

I need to add Legacy Minerva to my list, when I work out where she goes. Picked it up a couple months back and held onto it in case Ed couldn't get one, and now that he has, it joins my collection.

I had agonized over if I wanted Blitzwing for ages, but the low price from Smyths and Pinwig's recommendation tipped me over. Can't open him until my birthday in December though.


Pinwig is someone I trust.

I feel given the mad frothing about Origins and Marvel Retro figures this year that we aren't really getting a full picture here.

You must celebrate with a Mr Whippy Cadbury's 99 Flake.

Phil, doesn't it frustrate you that the total isn't £2345.67?

Quick, someone sell him a crap TF for 2p.

[Philip Ayres]

£10,000.02 would be even better

Two Transformers toys in a week? Unprecedented! What's happened to me?!

As Bombshell and Shrapnel have been announced, I have decided to 'go in for it' with the new Insecticons. The older ones are just too tiny (I waited bloody ages for all three of them, now surpassed. I'm so tired of this...).

BUT, I'm doing kind of a Pinwig and not opening him!

I AM MOT OPENING ANY OF THE NEW INSECTICONS UNTIL I HAVE ALL THREE IN HAND.



Erm, he looks enormous though!

[The Doctor]

When were Bombshell and Shrapnel announced??

-Ralph

[The Doctor]

(Should we tell him about Ransack?)

-Ralph

[Shockprowl]

They were announced ages ago! Keep up, Doc'!


And I care not for your Ransack.
