Just bought a Beast Wars toy I already own just so I can try to take it apart without risk to my existing one. I *THINK* it's one screw on the elbow I need to take out but just in case.... and even if it is just one screw I need a second on so I can swap some parts between them to correct a long standing issue.
I will keep you updated

My research into buying Studio Series 86 toys that are out in the far east and US has led me to an all time greatest lucky find for me & Ralph! Because I am a True Friend I'm not going to tell him what it is! The Mystery Package is in the country and has cleared customs!

Panic bought a boxed Microman Browning, not sure if it was a sensible purchase or not. Sadly red version not blue.

How does one panic buy a boxed Microman Browning? Was it 50p down the local car boot sale?

Maybe the pressure of that is what made him panic?

Nosing around on Yahoo Japan as I do when I click a "maybe you'd be interested in one of these auctions" for a boxed Browning at a price that doesnt seem to bad (£50). Go to the new tab and its a £50 buy it now. Thats... odd, trying to work out whats wrong with it, is it a KO, badly damaged? No doesnt seem to be. Looks at the time remaining. 6 days 23 hours. Oh, its been listed less than an hour possibly just minutes. Panic! Hits buy it now button. Hopes not to have made a huge mistake.

SS Leadfoot opened today. Quite a unique figure. Nice and easy to transform too. Came with a robot dog that wasn't very screen acurate though because it was there.

When Kapow get hundreds in next week at £25 a pop you can thank me. I've just been getting more and more worried Thrust seems to be disappearing in the rear view mirror and he's my fave of the original six planes. The Coneheads were so difficult to come by I wouldn't be surprised if they get a three pack reissue at some point, but I don't want to risk it.

Oh there's no secret trick to that. You pay through the nose on eBay. This one cost me £75 inc postage and CUTA and it came from New York. But I have given up on the hopes Kapow & ID had of Hasbro UK managing to provide for us.

I am close to that edge too. I worry it is another Siege Skywarp fiasco.

My parcel of wonder arrived from ToyFu on Monday, containing Cyberverse Meteorfire and Deluxe Thunderhowl, Beast Machines Strika and Selects Ricochet. Meteorfire we wanted because of his Steve Irwin-esque portrayal, although being built around the "battle call" gimmick (he lights up a bit if you shout at him) he's really very limited in articulation, but he'll do for now. Thunderhowl is good, but in terms of articulation is very restricted compared to Generations Deluxes - better than Cyberverse Warriors, for sure, but not as good as it could be. Strika is whatever she is, and what she is is bizarre and great. And Ricochet is what he is, but after seeing that he was going to appear in the upcoming Wreckers comic I couldn't not.

Mystery Package arrived today.
The look fab, albeit with slightly worn packaging. Will open mine in a bit.
And no, I didn't see them in Today's IDToys photos so I know Ralph won't have bought one yet.
All will be revealed on Friday, and I'll tell you what the toys are too

Grrr. Turns out the order was an order with Amazon EU through Amazon UK so not covered by the preorder price promise and rather more expensive than I was expecting!
