I dreamed last night that I was going to buy a Metroplex until Phil jumped out from nowhere, ripped open the box and told me I had to put on the arm and stickers by myself. I then woke up so do not know the outcome. Both of these facts about Metroplex are true |

I finally put batteries in and it turns out he's a talkative chap. At one point I thought he was going to qoute movie Prime with "Kill them all" which was frankly a terrifying moment and I was relieved to hear "Till all are one". Which coming from Metroplex is not really that much better in truth.

He has a proper voice chip? I had expected the usual neutered UK version where toys only say their name!

Mines from the US, so where all the ones from AA, we'll have to wait to see in what ways Hasbro UK has managed to screw up this time.

Ah. In that case I will wait to find out if the UK one has a proper voice chip. At the RRP it will be a no sale from me if it's neutered.

Was a Metroplex bought in the end?  |

Does seem a little silly, especially as any 5mm weapon will plug into Metroplex. They're not even parts that were missing from the original and I can't see the difference in the head

Was a Metroplex bought in the end? Nope. He shan't be for a while. Other things have come up which mean the printer can't be acquired just yet but I shall have that printer before I have a Metroplex. Andy |

I think the antenna on the other head are different lengths (and also, too long to look right if you ask me). Not sure what the antenna thing or the little black turrets are all about. They weren't on the original toy, and I don't recall seeing them in Space Pirates either.

How many of us can get a Metroplex before Turnbull and ramp up the temptation? I know Bogatan's got one, anyone else.....

I will support Turnbull by not buying one either. We'll get him through this.

No. We should all buy one and whenever we turn it round for him to see, it should be wearing an eyepatch!

I notice TRU's description mentions his "Glowing eyes and mouth and chomping jaw!" Does he, in fact, have a chomping jaw?

I don't think so, but iirc the visor is meant to raise and lower

Does it mention his voice chip and extensive vocabulary?
