Agreed and this is why I have stopped any and all future 1/4 products and am strictly sticking with 1/6 DC and hopefully Marvel pieces to come.

Of course I am still getting the Transformers though.

I totally agree risingstar, smaller scales are the future..1/6 all the way. And they look stunning! Xmen dio will be my last large piece, but the xmen are 1/6.

I'm also all over these XM transformers as well loricstone, 1/10 scale that's small right

Do English people jump the shark by using words like " jump the shark" and "gutted" on mostly American forums when most readers don't know what they mean?

“Jump the Shark” is an American expression, based on a Happy Days episode where Fonzie jumped over a shark tank on his motorcycle.

Really? I never heard jump the shark anywhere else but on forums populated by people from England.

I just realized, I was thinking of the episode where Fonzie jupped 14 garbage cans on his motorcycle in the parking lot at Arnold's.

But "jumping the garbage" doesn't sound as good.
