Powertrain and Highjump are my favourite micromasters from Siege yet - neither seems to suffer from the popping-off limbs and Highjump's transformation is at least a little more interesting than they usually are (though he's a bit back-heavy). I hadn't planned on getting any of the tetrajet moulds, but Red Wing looked so good when the in-hand photos showed up that I got him, and I'm glad! He really does look great in-hand, and it's a nice, sturdy, posable figure typical for Siege. The instructions are awful, though. No idea if this is common to Siege, but the way they're printed I find them almost incomprehensible. Obviously nothing to do with getting old... Any chance of a picture - and of the backing card - to prove to the rest of the world that the site supplied the goods?

I presume you mean the micromasters specifically, and luckily I hadn't taken the recycling out yet! Here you go, multilingual European backing card:

The ability to casually sit is one of the most important aspects of Transformer posability

That might be the new worldwide standard packaging. Got the little insert? I'm curious now....

I had no idea they were so new. By the time I’ve bought something these days I tend to assume they’ve been available from Asian import sites for months and are yesterday’s news...

All Micromasters must be bought. These I'm not worried about because they'll be on Amazon.com in due course, it's the Target 10-Pack that worries me. I anticipate seeing a handful of these at TFN along with the Rainmaker pack. If I get to them through the Saturday morning frenzy I may red haze, but I'm betting they'll be expensive.

For the life of me I cannot find the wave 1 plane Micromasters.

After being alerted by Colin during the day on Thursday, I found myself taking a long cycle over to the Fort straight from work to pick up the new Botbots Arcade pack. And at the end of that long and mostly uphill cycle, I was rewarded with the store having the pack we needed. Two of them, in fact! Which was doubly better because someone else wanted one. Buying two thus brought the total cost to £60, which meant the Smyths money-off offer kicked in and took £15 off (£5 off per £20 spent), meaning each set was only £22.50. And then the cycle back home was mostly downhill. A glorious quest!

Helped myself to the last Aimless that Games&Cards had for some limb swapping, and grabbed two more Caliburst from Amazon.
I think Burns has a Blowpipe for me.
In order to do a complete set of limb swaps on the retail Battlemaster Decepicons I need another Aimless and another Blowpipe.
Also grabbed the Off Road Patrol last night

Going to be a few toys here Monday if all is well

My last two packages are racing towards me. Will they arrive by Monday though?
I want my cap (that probably wont fit me).

Brunt is here, fab fun like the other Weaponisers.
I am sad now I have no more new mould Weaponisers to come

Yes..... but these are the same three again with different colours and heads.
No more new moulds to break apart and use as weapons.
HAS THE FUTURE OF TRANSFORMERS BEEN AND GONE?

Foolish Phil. The play pattern will likely continue. Look at how CW-style Combiners still come out several toylines later!

Ending an immense drought of literally 48 hours since my last acquisitions, Siege Skywarp is here.

Not sure about Skywap. His blacks aren't black enough. He just seems to be various shades of indeterminate grey. They don't contrast with the purple as well as black does on the original figure. Still, three more Battlemasters...

NO! SIEGE SKYWARP WILL BE MAGNIFICENT!
I must have him. Come on Amazon UK!
