Never saw most of these as I did not have access to an Entertainer.

As mentioned last night, my latest acquisition is a G1 Inferno. Here he is with the new one. He's missing one cab light, which will soon be fixed after Blueshift manly ripped one from a junker last night live on the call to send to me.

No, he's pointing at the one who did it.

Sweep arrived today. SG Goldbug (Pulse) and Artfire (Kapow, in stock order cheaper than Pulse) en route

My Goldbug is going to get held up by Pulse's constant payment problem. Made me think though, what comic number is Goldbug? Starscream should be 3, so will Goldbug come with that or his correct issue? Is his issue out at retail yet? It's all going to get jumbled.
It's also different to the US; Goldbug is already out there, but they only just got Megatron this week.

Good read, it’s been very noticeable how prices on collectibles has climbed over the last 2 years.

Yeah it's one of the things that is now making me more choosy and/or waiting for sales. I am trying to banish FOMO from my mind.

Dispatch notes have arrived for SG Goldbug (delayed by me totally forgetting the payment had failed and not redoing it) and Origins Bumblebee.

I'm somewhat underwhelmed by Artfire. Can't decide if it's the toy or the funk I've been in for a while now.
Kinda glad I'm not buying so much if I'm no getting the joy from them.

Sometimes it's hard to get excited by repaints when there's no remoulding on offer. Artfire's always struck me as just being Inferno with missing paint. I expect he'd look good with Selects Ricochet.

Post by Benn on Nov 17, 2021 22:39:46 GMT
Yeah, and for a Selects release they've not exactly gone nuts with any new paint apps either. Gonna have to dig Stepper out and see if I can find a Battlemaster for him.

So Origins Bumblebee turned up today, but I have not even opened the shipper because THIS is much more exciting: My recently acquired Inferno will now be complete thanks to Blueshift's junker donating a cab light! Weekend gluing fun awaits!

Edinburger used to have a glue-sniffer bench.

Did you eat cake out of a box while sat on it?

My Origins Bumblebee also arrived yesterday. And he's GREAT. Yeah, sure, the robot mode has a little kibble, but there are toys with far worse amounts of kibble, and considering that the G1 robot mode animation model was never actually meant to convert into that alt-mode it does a really good job of it. The only possible downside is that the vehicle mode doesn't have any wheels so you can't zoom him along, but that's a small detail. I've been waiting 36 years for this, and it really delivers. Very happy with it.
It's been a good 12 months for Bumblebees, actually. Netflix WFC was the best G1 Bumblebee since the Classics version, SS 86 Bumblebee is a fantastic little figure, and now this. A good time to be a fan of (the proper) Bumblebee.

Did you eat cake out of a box while sat on it? No, because then someone would have asked me for glue. When working with folk with addictions, I was shocked to find that glue sniffing was still a thing, albeit a very very very small section of the substance abuse community. There was enough of them to fit on a bench and so a certain bench in a part of the city became the place to be for glue sniffing. If I was concerned about a client's safety, I would go look for them at the bench. That local community weren't too keen on the bench related activities so one day it vanished. It then became a bugger to find certain clients. Obviously, I can't divulge any details about the people. Edinburger also had Heavy Drinkers Square. If you were working with a heavy drinker and wondered where they were you would go over there. Amusingly, HDS was so well known for its antics that it was the only area of the city covered by an outdoor drinking ban. You can see the irony. -Ralph
