Re: Grumpy old men: armchair brand management
Heavily clearanced Ultimates things (and everything else) including TFs, Thundercats, etc. Bombshell and Banzaitron thirteen quid delivered each or the full wave one for less than the original price of one figure. https://www.comicsandcocktails.co.uk/store/TRANSFORMERS-c142287586 And they still won'...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
The G2 trooper head isn't quite a full head, if it isn't clear from the instructions. The top sort of slides off. Very annoying that it isn't simply a ball joint and two full heads, but only intended to be usable on one figure.

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
Sounds like a load of inventory has come in at the same time and they're trying to shift it before it becomes a problem. Even higher mark down with other sellers on some Thundercats Ultimates minor characters, which was nice insofar as I picked up a Mandora for about half price (including internatio...

Re: Your Latest Non-TF Toy Acquisitions
Not something I've bought and Star Wars isn't particularly my thing but eBay insists on promoting this for some reason, and I totally would buy one if money was no object and I had space. Plus if money was no object, one for the stranger this immediately reminded me of. https://www.collectorfreaks.c...

Re: World events are doing wonders for my mental health
Thought that the first series was alright apart from needlessly complicating the Klingons, and comparable to if not more interesting than the Star Trek: Vanguard books, but gave up before the mirror universe arc in series two. I really hate alt-universe and time travel stuff unless it's playful idea...

Re: He-Man.org closing in a week
Loose consensus seems to be for invading https://forum.hemanworld.com/ (vB6) and https://foreternia.com/community (bbPress) -- the owner of HMW has been reaching out and inviting people, and that site's been around a decade or so. At a guess, any influx of people at this stage won't cause them bandw...

Re: He-Man.org closing in a week
Mmm. The site thread's into mud-slinging by now, but apparently some form of archiving is still planned. Believe it if it happens. If it's a static archive that should get it crawlable by Google (the current broken state of searching seems to be to do with a third-party "Sphinx" search plu...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
Not exactly new, more newly out of box. I was thinking about using Transformers Generations Legacy Selects Lift-Ticket (breathe...) as a stocking filler after getting it from Hasbro's clearance eBay sale earlier in the year, but then I looked at some reviews, and I think I'm going to need to find si...

Yeah, the forum is still active. So the fact nothing's being worked out with other people to take over is a bit... well, what I'd expect to be honest. Val/JVS3 originally took on the site from someone else who's popped up in the comments (can't load the thread from where I am currently) and apparent...

He-Man.org closing in a week
Well, I assume it's the site as well since the collecting resources have been offline for a while and redirect back to the forum (also a shame, the photos and minicomic scans were useful). I think they're running vBulletin 4.2.5 so would suspect the PHP versioning on top of everything else might hav...

Re: Hey
There's not much to really be a newcomer for... movies have been diminishing returns for years, and IDW killed their comics continuities first by accepting Hasbro's shared universe wants with the Furman/Roberts continuity and then a generally lacklustre follow up continuity. The toys have become a s...

Re: Hey
Cool. Glad people are bearing up.
Can't say I look back much on the past, except in the rather literal sense of being surrounded by 80s and 80s inspired stuff, but we're aiming to keep things running and if Brendan gets sick of it hosting's gotten a lot less expensive over the years.

Creeping towards thirty for those who remember the 1996 site.

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
Dinoking is fairly logical, slap some vaguely appropriate colours on the shapeless Rock Lords -esque mass and call it a day. Might even be tempted at a clearance price. Monstructor I think you'd need something like the POTP Terrorcons to use as a base unless we're talking retool in the sense of a si...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
Possibly different strokes... IMNSHO, ball joints can be okay at that scale, but making them part of the transformation (plus all of the limbs having lizard scales on etc so they're really obvious in the alt mode) makes Iggy feel cheaper and more KO-ish. I particularly dislike ball joints on things ...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
Sneaky f*ckers. The empty thighs and that split tail at head height look awful, too. Plus are the hips moulded red? If so there's no excuse for not doing the sword in red too.

Re: Grumpy old men: armchair brand management
At the Commander class price point, the honeycomb hollowness of Magmatron is shockingly bad, isn't it? The dino necks are enough to put anyone off, even though it looks like some of the parts could be rotated around for display. Shouldn't need 3P filler parts to not look shit at around a hundred buc...
