Nova Prime is rumoured. Which got me thinking, maybe I need a Sentinel Prime….. Which got me thinking about my collection of leaders. Maybe I need an actual G2 Optimus Prime, or two. With stickers perhaps……. Bit if I’m using Netflix Prime as G2, maybe I need an extra G1 Prime….. Wow, Nova has cost me quite a bit.
And how better to celebrate falling off the wagon (or perhaps getting back on it) than to actually open the light box that I bought about a year ago. It was really fun messing around with it. It’s been a long time since I bought so many Transformers, but I think that’s the leaders part of my collection well and truly sorted now. I might also need the Car Robots leaders as well if they do them in Legacy. I really enjoyed this little burst of spending, it’s been quite exciting but also fairly well constrained.
I decided to try out the new Lego Hulkbuster. It’s a bit larger again than the last one but actually looks like the one in Infinity War. It feels like the missing link between regular Lego and technic, pretty impressive! The last two seem very generic in comparison. So much so that I swapped a few parts over from the now slightly rubbish original on to the second very generic one to make a better Age of Ultron version.
Legends Kraven came in, nothing too crazy exciting, apart from his expression. Just need a TAS Chameleon to complete my Spidey villains. I’m fairly sure I got a miniature TAS Chameleon figure in a box of cereal when I was a kid but didn’t really know who it was.
Legends Beachcomber also came in, wasn’t expecting much but it’s actually really nice. The old legends scale figures aren’t all that obvious for the ‘84 minibots since Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are still short, but for the ‘85 minibots, Powerglide and Seaspray seem very short.
Decided to give the new Jada Streetfighter figures a go. They’re 6” but they do look good and balances amazingly well. Chun-Li ordered!
And last but not least, Snarl! What a unit. I don’t find the flat gold and metallic gold as troubling as I thought I would. He’s great and chunky. Very happy!
