Started off the month with a pair of Leaders. Movie preview Ultra Magnus (cough, Shattered Glass). I think the colours work better than the standard Magnus. Blitzwing looks great, the other modes aren’t so great but robot is solid. Bring on Overcharge!
Speaking of Diaclone pairs, DK3 Breaker came in (along with his ‘brother’). It cost me twice as much but there’s something very satisfying about doing a simple bit of parts swapping. Bring on…. the same mold in yellow!
Finished building the Sanctum Santorum, some really nice bits to it and with the green copper roof it matches the Statue of Liberty rather nicely. The Shuma Gorath is nicely done, speaking of which there is a rumour he might get a Legends figure which would be pretty neat.
Pre Pulsecon there was a big drop of Legends rumours. Great that Blob and Karnak should be coming. Couple more cinematic universe Iron Men and Spider-Men, then quite a lot of wait and see!

Pulsecon! Alpha Trion has been ordered. Transformers was pretty much as expected, but very excited to see the Deluxe Insecticons on the new poster. Lio Convoy and Tarn look good (lion head aside). Marvel Legends was more surprising, Avalanche! Combined with rumours of Blob mean the Brotherhood is looking good. Not much else of interest but there will be some anniversary Clone Wars stuff for Star Wars. All in all, and despite the leaks, more exciting than I was expecting.
