Indeed. I was christened Sweep #73 here a while ago. It's in my extra text bit I can't edit. It's there all the time. Goading me.

Blurr is here. I'm glad I waited for a deal on this one. Face's paint job is just passable. I saw one on eBay that was particularly bad with a blue nose. Plus he suffers from the same problem his G1 toy did with those arm flaps not always staying in place.. Nice to complete the trio though. They really were the Cool Kids in 1986 (well, cool kids and old timer)

Oh interesting you’ve gotten those Kingdom figures. I wonder when Pulse will start shipping. Actually I have Galvatron with Star now I think about it.

Just spent a silly* amount of money on a very silly item that I absolutely dont need or really have room for, but I felt the urge for completeness of a line.
Photos when it arrives.

MP Starscream arrived, had a quick open of the box yesterday and jet mode looks great. Really dig the darker grey used.

Made a couple of orders yesterday, nothing big, just 82 Transformers ordered in one go, no big deal.
Okay, so one of those was that discounted Sky Lynx, and I picked up a Grapple whilst I was there. And then all of the Series 4 and 5 Botbot 5-packs from In Demand, which we'd mostly been unable to pick up previously since after Series 3 Hasbro's distribution of Botbots became a bit shite. So hurrah!

I adore Sky Lynx. It's almost like having a cat about the place.

A lot bought from someone on Twitter arrived today.
In it was an Energon Snowcat, complete bar the arm panel which has the Minicon mount on.
It has now been united with the arm panel I've had in my parts draw for a decade or more.
Tomorrow we will try to win a Demolisher

Unite Baldigus arrived this week. Wasnt expecting to find one cheap so was very happy stumbling upon one on fb. Missed out on the cheap Computron which I also want, but with Baldigus I think I now have a version of all the combiner teams (still dont have Inferno but he doesnt have a specific combiner form).
Lovely colours, they maybe better than G2 Bruticus. Combined with the improved hands and feet definitely the best version of the mould.

From Phil come K Core Soundwave and Dracagon. Also the Japanese initial version of Siege Nemesis Prime (so pretty and I love that mould), for which a donation of pennies will go to Toy-Fu when my finances are in a better state. I was not able to steal Grand Galvatron. -Ralph

I think the colours on the Japanese one are much better. Nice looking figure.

Steady! My exciting purchase revealed yesterday was a mint on card RID Skid-Z & Wind Sheer two pack. I lusted after it. You do have a genuine dilemma as to whether to open it though as the card is so minty. -Ralph

I do. Don't know how it can be this nice after nearly 20 years. But I want to flip the flip changers!

Its a real shame they did away with the flipchangers after 96/97. So much fun.

But make sure that set is loose or already opened otherwise you're just doubling your problem.

Today I received a packet containing... a yellow ramp.
Which means Greasepit finally has the right ramp and Ironworks now has TWO grey ones. The greedy swine.
I also received... The Micromaster Constructor Squad! Complete and very tight. First MM combiner team for me. My word those pegs that connect them are tight! Wrong angle on that and I can see them snapping ER Grapple style. Nice though. I may need more.
I will need more.

Went into the unopened pile and took out SS86 Blurr. He is ok but not as good as the TR one (I have the western release of that). A good display piece. Just not as much fun to fiddle with.
