Fed up of not seeing him in a shop, or indeed online, I snapped and spent some birthday money in Kapow on-
SIEGE ASTROTRAIN
He is absolutely superb. Perfection. Wonderfully 'Siege'. Marvelous.
Edit: the only thing I dislike about him is the price. 'Leader Class' my cock. Double the price for... a box. A foldy out box. Now, it's a fun box. I see many happy hours of fun with the foldy out box. Small Child has already had lots of fun putting things in it. But double the price, more or less? Outrageous. Just call 'em 'Voyager Plus' or something and drop the price by a tenner. Lying bastards. If there'd have been a molded bit which looked like a pile of coal on top of the box in train mode, I'd have accepted it.

Earthrise Cliffjumper showing us that size matters not by, er, toting a massive gun.
But really, he may be a little short for a Deluxe but he makes up for it in engineering and accessories. This isn't a stealth Legends release. Lots of posability and a more interesting transformation than first appears (though it is let down by some partsforming). The weapon looks great as a bazooke but also splits down into smaller, fun, bits and pieces including the skis to attache in car mode.
And the instructions really are readable!

My sister gave me and Mrs P a mini break in the New Forest as a Christmas present. I must make sure I book this for dates when the Spacebridge shop is open.

Good day today. Found Grapple and Starscream in Smyths and came home to find the new Seacons in the recycling bin. Fun with toys this weekend! Grapple looks fantastic.

Common practice round these parts. You tend to hope the red card through the door says 'parcel in the bin' instead of 'now you've got to wait until Saturday morning when the parcel office is open to get this and even then we might be randomly shut for no reason'.

Bin men come 7am and only take the bin if it's on the street. Postman comes around midday and only bins parcels if the bin is off the street.
It only goes wrong if the postman doesn't put the card through the door. Which has happened once. I found a parcel with G1 Blurr in it entirely by intuition a few years ago. I felt it ought to have arrived, so went and had a feel around in the dark, put my hand on it straight away.

Got a feeling I mentioned that on here. Sometimes the postman isn't brave enough. Often of the bin is empty he won't drop parcels in it.

That's very Flash Gordon...
And yes, that happens to us, too. A gift for the Scraplet that Colin sent us stayed in the bin for a bit because they didn't bother putting a card through the door. Luckily he'd been sent a message telling us the parcel had been handed to us, so we knew we needed to search for it...

I don’t know if I just have a wonky table, but it’s hard to get Growl to stand up straight. Bombshock has ankle spurs, he’s fine, but Growl is having to lean forward an alarming amount.

Rainmakers and Micromaster 10 pack picked up from Dezzeh tonight. My records say I paid Toph for those just over six months ago! Finally my Siege MM collection is complete. Lovely set.

I still need the Decep Sports Car patrol. And maybe Ravage and Laserbeak, I'm still on the fence if they count as Micromasters yet.

Picked up a couple of the series 5 Botbots at the weekend. Naturally. That'll probably be it for a little while. Although Phil's already doing his best to line me up with stuff to buy... ;-)

Twitter has revealed there are some holes in the Llamagod's PCC Collection.
We have put Nick onto this matter.
Phil wishes he had his PCC here to play with.
