A measurement certainly makes a small contribution to the answer.

I can't help but feel this is something to do with the millimeters, but I can't work out how.

5mm pegs and holes are very much involved this week, yes, but that isn't the measurement you're looking for.
As well as the limbs it might be worth considering how small the guns & swords are.

Arms Micron
(Micron is a unit of measurement, Arms are limbs but also guns and swords)

We're ok, ta. Scary stuff, it wasn't far away from where we live and we have walked through that market a few times in the past week or so. My partner has always hurried a bit through them because she considered them an obvious target; I think people here are generally unsurprised, it was considered inevitable, but still horrifying. My German teacher warned me to stay away from any unification day gatherings back in October.

Can we count UK TF Prime toys as Japanese Arms Micron versions? I've held enough of those to give a top 5 this week.

I suppose so, as long as they did come out in Japan.

Thursday Tease:
Frequent Expensive Crushing Disappointment.
Topical too this week as there's a reason why this one has been chosen for the weekend which includes New Year.

It won'f be Hardhead until a fifth Hardhead toy has been released so stop saying it!
Really surprised this one hasn't fallen, unlike the subject of this week's top 5. Anyone would think you lot don't like chocolate on your biscuits!

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club.
But - Frequent Expensive Crushing Disappointment. I was trying to work something out of the initials because they were capitalised. Unless you were going for Fecked, it being the club effectively is.
However, the club is not the only source of expensive crushing disappointments!

I have received a lot of disappointment from the club though!! And I've tended to be really picky too!

Honourable mentions: Runamuck & Over-Run/Runabout, TFSS 1.0 Scourge, really good but since done cheaper and easier to get elsewhere, 2016 Unit-3 & 2016 Megatron which I regret not buying. Top 5: 5) AM Thundercracker cos Andy K is bigger than me. 4) SG LongarmSuch a clever toy, loaded with homages. I'm not sure it's quite a retail level popularity toy but should have been available in a larger quantity than the custom class just like ..... 3) G2 SideswipeThe Angry Bot is Angry that his deluxe version was only available to a select few. Look how popular the MP Angry Bot was! Now this could have been a retail toy. 2) SideburnThe member exclusive the year I joined the club. Lovely toy. Crap packaging that bent the spoiler. Regret selling it! 1) G2 RamjetSuperb. Always loved G2 Ramjet and this should again have been a retail toy. Lovely colours. How many times did the club use the Classics Jet? 3 in the infamous 2007 classics boxset, AM Thundercracker in 2011 (4), 3 Rainmakers in 2013 (7), 2011 G2 Ramjet (8), TFSS 3.0 G2 Starscream & Nacelle (10) TEN TIMES!
