I've not been able to find a seller for the Takara release. I had no idea Yahoo had shops.

It's a Yahoo Japan thing. Speak to Nick.

Messy messy boy. Such a messy messy boy! You'll need a clean. Won't you.

I accidentally preordered myself Transmutate. Another Messy Boy. Who needs a clean. (I can't remember what a Transmutate is, but it seemed like a 'Messy Boy' moment.)

Very messy.
I think, I'm not getting anymore fossilisers. Vertebreak is really not hitting me. She's great in fossil mode, there's a lot of character there, but she really does not feel like a Transformer. Unlike even BW, there is no robot parts to her. It's just a load of bones that can stand up, and that does nothing for me. Shame, as the head sculpt is really nice (a BW Scorponok homage?) but the whole robot aesthetic just isn't appealing.
So, Fossilisers. Not for me.

I finally received my first Transformer of 2021! And it's a good one, yyeeesss. That's right - Forbidden Planet *finally* answered my DMs last week and allowed me to give them money in exchange for goods. Which is a novel approach to business, I know, but it seems to be working...
Anyhow, I love the figure. It *is* an utter pain in the arse to transform due to all of the annoying tabbing, but I can't hate it that much since I really like how they've used a softer plastic for the beast mode skin. And I really like the attempt at a more "realistic" (yes I know) dinosaur mode and the cartoon accurate robot mode - it's just a really nice figure.

Botropolis set found in a wheelie bin. I am underwhelmed by those miserable modulator moulds, the colours on Ironworks don't quite pop like the pictures and Airwave is just Airwave, but I'm pleased that means the Micromasters are complete and Sky Lynx will have a bit more to his base mode.

No, I... I bought Kingdom Warpath. He arrived today and he's brilliant and now I'm in turmoil.
The Warpath I had been using, Iron Factory, always seemed... just a touch too small. Not quite right aesthetically or something...
But Kingdom Warpath is big. And doesn't -perhaps- quite work with the other members of The Five. Especially Powerglide. But he looks good with the deluxes. And he is A SUPERB FIGURE.
Oh god what have I done....

Managed to find a cheap replacement Hound and Sunstreaker but getting a Laserbeak is going to be a real challenge

There's a point, I've not stood Warpath with the other '85 minibots.
Hmm.

I just opened my Kingdom beast Megatron. He looked great as I took the robot out of the box; I particularly liked the weapons details that nod to the original: the cannons in the mouth and hips. But transforming him, he soon proved to be the biggest disappointment in the line so far - not what I want in what's also the highest priced! So many big gaps; hips that pop out when the legs are moved; and what can only be described as an odd ruff around his neck.
Bloomin' big next to the other Beasties, mind.

Re: Warpath, don't think of him being wrong, think of the earlier ones being outdated. Cliffjumper restarted the minibot line. We're on the roundabout going round again.
Yes, that means you will have to rebuy the rest when they come out again.

I've been analysing the situation and it may not be as bad as it seems. It had been bothering me that certain Mini-Autobots were looking a bit small. Brawn, Huffer to give examples. Many still work though. And obviously I want Jaffa cakes. It's just another long road.... Just when I think I'm out, THEY PULL ME BACK IN...!
