Is it actually a weekly newsletter? Only there's been a few staff signed up to it since February who haven't received one. Still haven't, personally, and as far as I can tell it's not getting caught by spam filters.

It is a weekly newsletter, I'm not sure if this is normal one they send out to the public or one they give to their sponsor sites.

Who else needs a copy of the newsletter, I can get their address added.

Thanks

Such a shame those Crossfire things are going to cost more than a real jeep and shuttle.

They seem very reasonable for scratch-built transformable figures, TBH.

I'm sure the site would get more casual interest if it provided shipping quotes without registration.

Oooh, I didn't actually see the prices there :sweatdrop You're right, those really aren't bad... What were the Energon limbs over here, £7-8ish? Add in the combiner parts... Really quite reasonable.

Not owned Bruticus Maximus, but Superion would have been greatly improved by additional accessories alone. And that one does look great combined...
