Tell us about your new 3P & other robot acquisitions

[Dezzeh]

Hah, just a little.
I'm looking at all the stuff that's come out lately/soon that I've missed and I can feel the red haze setting in. I should not have been trusted with any inheritance cash.

[Pinwig]

I am still itching for the Fans Hobby monsterbots. That Doublecross is so good.

And FT Jetfire of course.

[Dezzeh]

Yes all of those, and the fans hobby prime/scourge are calling out to me.. this is going to get expensive

[Dezzeh]

Just helped out one of the folk who jumped on the ditching Sunsurge bandwagon, can't complain at £50 for that bad boy.

Also, I need help. Please help me.

[Shockprowl]

Tell you what, Dez, send me some of your toys, or maybe all of them maybe, I'll look after them for you, and then if you can't see your toys they wont remind you that, er, you know, you need other ones...

[Pinwig]

woah... I knew it.

[Dezzeh]

Sunsurge just arrived, looks goooood!
I also *may* have bought Phoenix and Downbeat.. it was pay day after all.

[Dezzeh]

Phoenix and Downbeat are here.. what next!

[Pinwig]

Breathe before buying the next one?

Is Phoenix... good? Do I have to buy him?

[Dezzeh]

I haven't opened him yet. Will check it out tonight and then put it back in the box, but I will make sure to tell you that you need to buy him

[Pinwig]

You don't live *that* far away you know...

[Dezzeh]

True! only 20 miles

[Pinwig]

Which going by Youtube videos is about how big Phoenix is, so if the sun goes out later I'll know why.

[Dezzeh]

The box has certainly got some heft to it

[Dezzeh]

I hate to say it, but you probably want to buy Phoenix. The guy is huge, won't fit on my Kallax shelves so need to score a new Detolf. So far I've only found one annoyance which is how the backpack clips on in robot mode to stop it flopping around like a .. floppy thing. On the other hand, a glorious shiny white beast.

[Pinwig]

I do like Jetfire it has to be said. Oddly I'm really drawn to the Sunbow jet mode, because it looks spot on and reminds me of a sticker in the old Transformers sticker album. Jetfire was always a figure I envied a friend having but I only got one myself a year or two back.

I am also a Fans Toys junkie and had intended to buy their releases by default. I love their stuff; they're the only Transformers figures that actually come close to feeling like Masterpieces to me.

[Pinwig]

You fell into kapow's trap!

I may well have to have Feilong. He just looks too good.

[Dezzeh]

They have arrived, this was a large box. I may have a problem.

[Pinwig]

Very interested to hear your thoughts on Feilong. I'm looking for an excuse to buy him.

[Dezzeh]

I shall bust him open tomorrow and report

[Dezzeh]

Feilong is good, very good. Simple, intuitive transformation, looks great in both modes. Good joints, very nice product for a new company.

[Pinwig]

Doe he have... heft? he looks like he should be hefty.

[Dezzeh]

He does heft, a very reasonable heft.

[Pinwig]

Oh lord, he has heft.

When Toyworld went into meltdown recently I thought my chances of getting the green thighs and cartoon head for Constructor had gone up in smoke - especially as TFExpress said Toyworld were no longer talking to them and they couldn't get the pieces in. I'd preordered them in January.

But... Chimungmung have provided. Green thighs and new head have just arrived. All I'm missing are the footplates to steady Long Haul, but I can live without those. So. Having waited this long to get all the pieces in place, summer holiday job #1 is to finally combine Devastator!

Which at the speed I go will probably take me until September.

[Dezzeh]

I have MMC Hot Rod and Badcube Trailbreaker arriving today, I hope. Oh dear.

[Llama God]

From TFNation I picked up the convention exclusive Rune figure - which is very nice. If it wasn't for my "one of each mold only" policy I'd be tempted by the Goldbug, also.

And the wife got the MMC Calidus (purple Lost Light Rodimus). Which has gone back to Singapore with her. Which makes things doubly annoying.)

[Dezzeh]

Fans Hobby flybro and Megatooth just arrive. HEFT.

[Dezzeh]

Badcube Huff also appeared today, 3 separate boxes all from Kapow..
