I am expecting certain items from the Fu but none were lifted off the table this year.
One of them was from last year but got put away!

I remember being tempted by the Retro headmasters but couldn't remember which of them I already had. Then I think they were gone.

No blame, just pointing out why it wasn't from this year.
Nick's got an Armada toy for me, and I'm hoping AndyK has two more
I have a list of things I want should they turn up before Reading

That TMNT Crossover figure is actually a lot better than I was expecting him to be. Probably the most fun to handle crossover since Ecto-Tron.
Shame about that stupid name though. Will be interested to see what the Metal-Head upgrade from Toyhax looks like, as that absolutely makes more sense for the figure.

Feeling the lack of robots from TFN so I bunged in a pre-order for the Go-Bot set. Not sure why, I've been thoroughly underwhelmed by them. Ah well, I'm sure they can be moved on if they do disappoint in hand. Go-Bot set?

TOY DROUGHT OVER AND I AM IN HOC TO THE BANK OF NICK My Mags, TMUK and Thunderclash, arrived from Matt. With them were: Micron Legend Demolishor & Blackout
Superlink Mega Zarak, cos I don't own enough robot Scorpion toys
Cybertron (I think) Thunderblast
AND.....
GALAXY FORCE BLUE RAMBLE (Blue Cybertron Scrapmetal) which I've been trying to get since I got married

Yay - Blue Ramble isn't my favourite colour version of that toy, but frankly there is no bad version of Ramble. It is such a fun toy, and works really well as a Generic Footsoldier type.

I bought red in Galaxy Force, cos obviously, reasoning Cybertron was likely to go Blue. They didn't so I've been stuck wanting a blue to complete the set for 20 years

Au contraire. Diamond are distributing them so they'll be available in/through comic shops. Actually, I see one of my other toy suppliers is offering them too.

Don't forget this week was meant to be Swoop week! This is why we don't put things in the aquisitions thread before we have them! I have some stuff from Toy-Fu stock but they are not mine until I have paid off the Bank of Nick! They merely rest in my house until then. -Ralph Same here. Most new releases, I get wholesale but for accounting purposes, it's easier to put them through the till than to treat them as drawings from the business. ie, I buy them with my personal money from the shop. As such, I have a few boxes of stuff that I own (under my business), but that have not yet entered my personal collection. Sometimes, a Transformer is sitting in the shop for quite some time, which is why my acquisitions list sometimes seems quite random.

Road Pig arrived yesterday from Pulse!
It's very neat looking in both modes, very characterful, compact robot and it screams G2.
It's my first contact with this mould, and it definitely has its pros and cons. I actually got it to roll well on both wheels, but it required careful positioning and the front wheel often ends up back in a place where there's too much friction with something or other.
Couldn't transform him without a leg popping off, which in some ways is a feature but I'd heard you could transform these completely.

According to the tracking my Selects GoBots are due to be delivered today.
However the tracking also says they've been received by the Halifax delivery office.
So either ID sent me the wrong tracking code, it's gone to the wrong DO, it's got the wrong address on it or the Post Office tracking has gone Kaka!
I'm not without new toys today as my Universe 2008 2 pack Ratbat has arrived - for those on the call Saturday, I cracked that evening - and apparently the seller is a long term lurker here! Hello Tom!

Kinda crazy that after todays new arrivals I'm only seven Micromasters away from having the whole set of Western releases. Not all the bases and transports, mind, but still...

Found a Studio Series Bumblebee Movie Ravage in the t'Entertainer section in Tesco's for only six quid yesterday, so picked it up. It certainly is a figure that turns into a completely unsuccessful box. It's really odd that they didn't give him a weapon mode or something, just to make it vaguely more interesting. But I guess these aren't toys any more, so...

Well if you have the Bumblebee movie Soundwave his box mode fits in the chest, so there's that!
