[Pinwig]

Nice! I think I got that one because the deco was better than the Hasbro one. Titans Return still feels like last week to me.

This one was an impulse buy when I realised that Bullhorn was a different deco to Terri-Bull. The other one I'd been eyeing up and bought at the same time will still not arrive for a week, apparently.

I'm currently watching the bidding on two more.

At what point do I need an intervention?

[Pinwig]

You'd be lucky to get one here. You'll just have Ralph egging you on.

[The Doctor]

Benn should treat himself. Life is hard. Buy toys.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

There you go.

I caved earlier. Just after that ID toys parcel arrived I happened to be passing Smyths. So now I have Shrapnel and Hot Shot too.

In my defence, four of these recent purchases were discounted!

Titan Masters make all things better.

Well, that's one of them won!

[Pinwig]

This is a man on a mission...

[Benn]

Only when I stumble across bargains like this. Legends is very expensive these days as a rule. The Shockwave and Cancer set is heading towards three figures now, as an example. Dread to think how much a decent Trypticon or Grand Max would be.

[The Doctor]

Yeah, I gave up on Shockwave Cancer when the prices went sky high.

-Ralph

[Pinwig]

Since ending up with on of those cheap Black Zaraks I've missed not getting Grand Max at the time, but hey ho.

[Benn]

Missing titans are very much bottom of my priorities, if only for space reasons!

Trypticon might not be as much as you think as it's identical to the western version inside the box. Against that is it's a very good toy.

Grand Max. Good luck with that. Anyone else on the forum apart from me got one?

[Pinwig]

I remember how we scoffed at the time you did, Phil. Why does he want another one of that disappointing Max mould? we all laughed. But now we know.

[The Doctor]

Yup.

I even remember sitting in his living room with him proudly showing it off and we just laughed quietly.

Max that is.

I've bought so few Transformers this year.

And the second.

It's a good thing I was outbid on a third, else I might have some regrets now.
