Just wondering, I should get around to picking up an SS86 Galvatron. Because the figure looks cool. However! Would I be not-so-worse off getting the WfC Kingdom or Legacy versions at a cheaper price? Are there any known issues with "mold rot" with the SS86 Galvatron? Let me know your honest...

This might be considered too P&R a point for Transformers discussion, but I have no idea why it isn’t regularly pointed out that tariffs are an extra (heavy) sales tax. I mean, that’s what they essentially are to us consumers – a sales tax on top of a sales tax, pushing up the prices we all pay.

Here’s an idea someone can have for free: Legacy TM2 Megatron recoloured as an ersatz BWII Galvatron. (Surprised Generations Selects didn’t attempt that one. Or Cryotek.)

That’s what I’m banking on too. (Not that I live in an EU member state any longer, unfortunately, but I’m aware that the UK is very much in the EU’s economic orbit.)

https://twitter.com/RasmusJarlov/status/1949560382084767813? Why the European Commission agreed to this dreadful trade deal, I have no idea.

What did I spot in the local Polish shop earlier? Optimus Prime adorning the packaging of Nestlé breakfast cereals.

It felt like Christian Bale had escaped from another, much better, film. What a waste of a decent performance. How Taika Waititi still gets film work, I’ll never be able to fathom…

How a Scottish newspaper is covering Trump’s visit to Scotland.

The age verification bollocks is basically one of those “freedom of Brexit” things. Absolutely hate it. It’s been instigated as a law by the previous UK government, kept as-is by the current government, and managed by OFCOM, the UK’s media regulation quango, so don’t blame the rest of Europe for...

I thought that was the early design sheet for BW Silverbolt as a triple-changer, before the Fuzor concept was decided upon! Could be either. I’m 80% certain those early mockup BM logos, the Trans-Tech logo in the (actual) BM logotype and the “Change-Tech” name have never been seen before.

That’s one of the handful of policies which the current government has enacted that I think is good and positive – the other being taxing private school fees, and some of the environmental policies.

It’s banned CLPs (local party branches) from even...

I know very little about Superman, other than what I’ve read online over the last few days. It’s just like Star Trek, isn’t it? “Oh it’s too woke now, it’s all about the pushing messages”, moan the incels. Who either don’t know, don’t understand, or haven’t paid attention to the roots of the...

Part of my brain still thinks that Swerve transforms into an ambulance, because that's what my young mind thought all those years ago when I first encountered the action figure during a post-school Friday afternoon shopping trip with my parents. (Given the choice of Swerve, Hubcap and Pipes on...

https://bsky.app/profile/acuity.design/post/3ltmec2slp22a An official UK government advert for the idea of workplace training, tying in with a summer blockbuster about a group of four people who acquire their skills in a workplace accident. Great use of taxpayers’ money, lads…

I feel the same… as a British person who now no longer can freely live in those countries.

I had no intention to buy this, or any of the previous Lego figures, but I'm still actively annoyed that Soundwave's bundled with Laserbeak, and not (as is proper tradition*) Buzzsaw. Bah. * except in Japan, obv.
