I don't believe I've mentioned here yet that I will be leaving my IT support role of 10 years in late January due to the company I work for downsizing, so in looking for a new role - If you 🫵 know anybody within the North Shropshire area looking for a new Computer Goblin, send me a DM maybe?
This afternoon I built Classic Class DotM Bumblebee, and he's pretty nice! He has a full frame with pretty great articulation, a decent level of colour separation, and thankfully includes an alternate masked head that will stay permanently attached...!

We three kings of orient are,
One in a taxi one in a car,
On on a scooter, beeping his hooter
Reading the Shropshire Star

Oh star of wonder, star of light,
Fill your pants with dynamite,
Light the fuse and off you go,
Fly your ass to Mexico

My sixth Shining Version 4 figure from this case is Wheeljack! When I built Jackie's Galaxy Version 6 figure I strongly suspected he'd get the LED treatment, but I wasn't expecting him to also get new more vehicular shin pieces - Not sure what the yellow gizmo he comes with is though…

This company messaged me this morning to inform me that my application was unsuccessful 😞

However ☝ the first company I interviewed with have actually asked me to attend a second, full interview in-person in the new year! 🎉
Third job interview (another preliminary one...) in about half an hour, wish me luck 🤞

My laptop has a nervous tick where the laser carriage in the CD drive adjusts itself for no reason. Laptops truly are frail, skittish beasts

i think we should all commit ourselves to, at minimum, a national 3 day party When It Happens. one bottle of champagne in the back of your closet is no longer adequate. be prepared

My fifth Shining Version 4 figure is the angelic SG Starscream, sporting a new tetrajet Seeker build that shares only the shoulder pads, chest and upper back pieces from the original Galaxy Version 1 seeker build. I absolutely love his all-white look and fancy energon swords - Suitably spiffy!

I paid far too much money to get Quickstrike early but I am SO glad because he is hilarious and awesome

My fourth Shining Version 4 figure is another retread, IDW Megatron! Like IDW Optimus Prime, this is also an upgrade of his prior Galaxy Version 6 figure, but this time with no retooling. Instead, Megatron also comes packed with a static figurine of Ravage and a yellow Rodimus badge - Very cute!

I got something really special today, a 1 in 5000 limited edition Sembo Block x Moshow Toys Progenitor Effect set featuring very swanky (and sturdy) black and gold versions of Takeda Shingen and Date Masamune! They also came with special treats such as flight stands, collector cards, and… Badges!?

Say cheese! My third Shining Version 4 figure is Viewfinder, one of the three parts of Reflector! Even though he's a basic figure, with the new articulation and the LED he's still superb. He can also be made into Sepctro or Spyglass by removing the camera lens from his tummy - Time to buy two more…

My second Shining Version 4 figure is another retread, IDW Optimus Prime! A slight upgrade of his figure from GV6 with vastly improved posability, fresh paint, new articulated shoulder cannons, and of course the LED... Which shines way too brightly through his chest - Oops!

I'm in two minds about the pack-in figures Action Edition kits are coming with now - On the one hand I think them not being Galaxy Version style is a bit of a missed opportunity, but on the other hand as somebody who collects those figures I'd hate for some to be locked behind big ticket items

Speaking of Primes, yesterday I unboxed the good doctor Quintus Prime! Such a unique design and toy, I absolutely love his skirt of tendrils, glowing clear legs and funky squid spaceship alt-mode. I understand he isn't everybody's favourite, but I'm certainly a fan.
December 14, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Well that's just prime
December 14, 2025 at 4:11 PM
Here we go! My first Shining Version 4 figure is the return of a favourite, Shockwave! This is a major upgrade of his GV4 figure with a similar shiny finish to his GV7 and Classic Class counterparts, the new joints introduced in GV8, and a brand new LED torso block - He also comes with the Nemesis!

Ash Sarkar getting flack for saying Nick Fuentes should "follow his leader" when that is the absolute nicest thing one should say to a neo-Nazi is crazy

"But she is telling young men to kill themselves!"

Aye, young men who want the same - and worse - for vast swathes of the rest of the population

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I got Shining Version 4! Looking forward to delving into this wave during this coming week off!

This might be missing something or overreacting here due to being autistic, but it always does my head in when I mention/share something I'm enthusiastic about and the 🫰 immediate response is somebody shitting on it, especially when the conversation then devolves into everybody doing the same

The third and final additional Sembo Block Metal Cardbot figure I got is Mega Ambler, who was the first figure from this line I saw photos of, which makes getting him in-hand nice. I really like this guy, with his large number of prints and really cool head sculpt and weapon. A satisfying finale!
