Blue Hook and Mixmaster were only in the giftset release, so pretty rare. I can't say I've seen KOs of those ones, but there are plenty KO Constructicons around. Good that they are probably real, but I wouldnt have minded a KO to complete the set. As Ive missed out on Mixmaster I guess thats and the combiner parts will have to be customs, but G1.5 Bonecrusher should be a fine stand in.

I showed the auctions to Maz, he confirmed that they're legit. Someone got a bargain with that blue Mixmaster.

Meanwhile on the SS86 Scourge front Door went while I was in the bath. Sent Jonathan down to answer, was a box he says. I know what that is :-) So post bath I come downstairs, wire clipping scissors in one hand, Kingdom Cyclonus in the other who is desperate to see his chum. Sure enough it's an Amazon parcel, about the right size and shape so I set to work with the scissors..... THE ****S SENT ME A ****ING HOT ROD!!!!!!!!!

Maybe Unicron transformed Thundercracker into Hot Rod then.

Had to pay Amazon again to get Scourge as there's no hope of getting through their automated system

No phil just use the chat function. Say what you will about amazon,but their customer service is really good.

What are they likely to say about wrong goods sent to the UK?
And this was through a seller rather than Amazon themselves

If it was supplied via amazon they should deal with it.
In my dealing with them they've sent me a free replacement Platinum Predaking after sending one that appeared to have been previously returned, refunded half the price of ER Prowl and Ironhide and other discounts usually due to poor packaging.
Being in the UK shouldnt make any difference, though make sure to point that out if they ask you to return Rodimus as I think they do go through a different process.

Took a trip out to some countryside we'd not visited in nearly a year on Saturday, and on the way back visited a Smyths we'd not visited since before the pandemic. As a result I now have Bumblebee movie Starscream and B-127. I've not opened Starscream yet, but Bumblebee(-127) is a lovely little figure - it's not a nice Cybertronian vehicle mode, and the robot mode is small but poseable and fun. The only drawback is that a massive percentage of this toy uses clear plastic (feet, entire vehicle mode roof, and some other, essential, moving parts) - I shall make the most of this figure whilst he's in one piece...

Opened up BB Starscream last night and started playing with him, and he seems like a nice figure. And then I realised that one of the tail fins was missing from his legs (something I wouldn't have noticed when he was in the box). So that's a return trip to Smyths I need to plan...

Beast Wars Mutant Razor Claw (one foot broken off but included. One foot missing) acquired but will continue to live in the US for a while.

Yesterday: Fox Kids Dinobot. Sans Mutant Head halves but looks FAB otherwise. It was one of the few FK alternate decos I could really buy into and I regret selling my original one.
Today: Armada Sideways and, *FINALLY* a SS86 Scourge. My second is due to arrive tomorrow!

You have 2? Considering how hard they are to come by, you'll have no trouble offloading the spare.

Long and complicated story.
You may recall I was sent a Hot Rod by mistake
Because I can't be ****ed to muck about with Amazon's customer services - it scares the ASD bit of my head - I straight up ordered another one.
Because the secret of comedy is timing, just after I went to cancel my preorder for it at Kapow they got them in stock and invoiced me. Because they hadn't confirmed the cancellation, and indeed emailed me to say it was in stock and did I still want it, I paid up because I knew one of our colleagues on the south coast havant been able to find one.
So it has a home to go to already.
But if anyone needs a Hot Rod....

Birthday penny purchases of G2 Bulletbike and Armada Rhinox have arrived. Both on card. Bulletbike will stay on his as he is the supreme Transformer and card is in decent nick for its age (will find a loose one to play with). Rhinox and his Minicon pal will come out to play.

Really pleased to have a box from Phil to open at the end of a long, loooong, day. Scourge is top! He looks so much better in hand than any photos I've seen. Marking tests at the moment so looking forward to that got me through the last few hours. Cyclonus has his chum!

Really nice proportions. He's a great Scourge.
I look forward to adding Sweep#73 in future.
