Make space it's Masterpiece Convoy!

Maketoys have released a few colour pictures of their upcoming Computron, looks good. I'm really excited for the figure now. The bow and arrow, although not his traditional weapon, works really well and serves to make him a bit more unique. And news just in, they're doing a Defensor! I was never much of a Defensor fan but when he's the only Scramble City combiner missing he becomes much more exciting. If he comes out in 2015 then works nicely for me.

Some very unexpected news from Million Publishing, they're doing a Trainbot - Shouki from Classics Astrotrain, seems pretty cool to me. They've also set up a vote for the next figure, some interesting stuff, Omnibots and various re-colours. I'd like to see a Go-Shooter to go with my Masterforce Classics figures.

Some Age of Extinction news as well, Wave 1 Generations Deluxes and Voyagers have been released. Managed to snag Slag and Scorn, hoping to find Grimlock soon! Pictures have also surfaced of Snarl and Slog, look pretty damn cool. I think the bright colours used for the dinobot toys are actually working for me. There's also a G1 style Kreo Grimlock Unleashed with Kreon, looks like a fun set. Hope we get the rest of the G1 Dinos as Kreons soon.

Perfect Effect have released a few pictures of their upcoming Scorponok, I'm going to wait for for a few more pictures before deciding whether to go for the Botcon version. Perfect Effect are also doing a Brave Maximus recolour of their Fort Max. If it was a Grand Max I think I could be tempted. It's hard to imagine that they won't do that at some point.

I bought the Lego Millennium Falcon, managed to get one on sale. Fun build, I think I'll just keep the minifigs and sell the actual ship though. I'll get the new AT-AT at some point. Gotta watch out for the space!

Finally got Masterpiece Convoy, he's in my pile of loot but looking forward to finally getting him in hand.

Also picked up a few Beast Wars II figures, got Apache, Tasmanian Kid and Scuba (US versions though since they're identical) to round out my Maximals. It's good to have Lio Convoy's crew. Also got Thrust and Dirge to go with Galvatron, still need to get BB and Megastorm though.

I've been sorting through all my boxes, so many instructions and parts! I think when you start collecting, you keep all of the packaging. You eventually get to a point where it becomes overwhelming, so you throw the inner packaging away, but keep the box because they can be easily flattened. Then eventually even that becomes too much, that's where I am! I've decided just to keep the packaging which has nice artwork on. Should keep me going on space for a bit. It was amazing going through some of the instruction booklets, most of which I never bothered opening, lots of little bits of generic mail away offers and catalog bits which can easily be thrown away.

I'm now systematically going through my various collections, making sure I actually want everything I've got. Will be taking a few photos as I go, it's a nice way to interact with them. Then it's time to eBay off the stuff I don't need!
