It's amazing how Swoop's allure as the 'difficult' one to get from nearly forty years ago still makes a new one feel like something special today. I'm unreasonably excited about the SS86 one.

Oh... Oh my godfathers...
Yes, you're right!
It's just like when I was a child!
Swoop - always unobtainable!

And then many many years later I finally got to touch one...and was disappointed. It's not actually that good...

I'd say that to demonstrate that Swoop hasn't always been unobtainable in the UK
He scaled rather well with his fellow POTP Dinobot limbs

I got the Conjunx a Core Swoop for Christmas and, like most of her toys, she's thus far refused to open him. Which means he's still unobtainable to me. Balance remains.

That's why I said several times. Which core Dinobots did you get? None. When I had to pennies to get them they were unnobtainable so I moved on. I had it as a dead cert they would be reissued as a spangly box set, but I was wrong! -Ralph |

I had it as a dead cert they would be reissued as a spangly box set, but I was wrong! Give it a year or so and they will be. (And I'm not including Dinoking/Monstructor in that - I'm sure there'll be a minor recolour box set available.) |

Does nobody open toys these days!? I reckon I've opened more than ANYONE ELSE this year. Pfft. As a raw number, or a proportion of what has been bought? Because these are not equivalent variables... I mean, my raw numbers are pretty low. But as a proportion of transformers bought to opened I am running at 100%, or 1/1 depending on how you want to express it... Karl |
