Back on topic some, I went in yesterday and did the whole "can-I-look-at-what-you-have-in-all-these-ranges-please?" thing. Thankfully it wasn't too busy, so the nice chaps were obliging. They only had Prowl and Sunstreaker in deluxe; yes they look good, but I've taken the desicion to get m...

Not fond of Ironhide, but I'd like to have a G1 version so I'll snag him. I prefer Sideswipe to Sunstreaker. If I only pick up one I'll get Side. I'm probably only going to pick up Prowl. Dirge looks nice. We'll have to wait and see if I get him though. I like Fracture though. Hopefully this round ...

the gun is indeed a fold-me-in-half-o-bot, though i couldn't tell how articulate it was in robot mode (as i was sat right at the back during the panel) the cyclonus figure was indeed rather good, less 'flat' than the g1 and more articulate. he actually looked like cyclonus, and had a lighter color s...

Narked, isn't he? I get that he's narked, especially with BC toys in short supply, but really, I'm guessing that most of the people he's sniping at are simply over-zealous nerds who think they've dropped on a bargain and are re-selling for a quick buck. He is, of course, perfectly within his rights ...
