Can we ascertain how much of the time we Brits spend being Disgruntled?

I mean, there must be some small percentage when we in the UK are happy.

Um, for me I'm 20% un-disgruntled

I've finally found one line I want to collect - the Masterpiece line!

I've always wondered how Hasbro decides which Transformers will be sold in Europe. Do they pick the most popular toys in the US aside from the main characters or what?

Well thanks to the tomfoolery on the forums and the passwords not working on HMW, my percentage is conciderably smaller than normal right now...

That and Argos exceling and being crap.

Edit: And we are getting beaten by the bloody Michiganers....

I believe they use a combination of whatever figures they are sent and the names that the marketing monkeys pick out of a barrel.

What am I talking about, Hasbro UK aren't that organised!

In all seriousness I suspect it's actully the oposite, we often get tfs and sets that havent sold as well (VP vs SS for instence).

I suspect with the movie coming up, even if the toys aint that great, at least we wont be getting as shafted as in the past.

Hi all!

What's happened to the original disgruntled brits thread? I've noticed for a few days now it had been showing no posts matching this topic. Will we get it back? Wasn't it the longest running thread here?

Ron.

Firstly:
Ryan decided he didnt like phpbb... so he changed everything. It went a little wrong, the ODBT stoped showing posts.

THEN, something went VERY wrong, and all the forum data was lost, make your own decisions on the posibility that it was down to ryan's meddlings with things that worked fine or not....

Throw darts at a dartboard with random TF names on it.

Thanks to Dough-Bot I now remember what the last 50 pages on the original thread were about

...I'll also keep your figures on hold.

Hmm, I still can't get into my private messenger. Has anyone else had that problem and managed to fix it?

RavageXV - are you getting MP Megs? Do you know how much he'll cost roughly?

I will be getting MP Megs, I put up a holding page on my site. I have had to reserve some already, but not many. I dont have a price yet as it depends on the weight for shipping. I hope it won't be more than MP Starscream but if its dead heavy then it might be.

News Credits: 1 · by **JetfireUK** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 5:12 am

Cheers Fella, and I will get your new name right next time - honest!

I could be interested - when is Megs being released?

I thought it was the end of March but could be wrong.

I would have kept my old name but when I went to fix my sig in my profile it wouldnt let me keep a name of three letters. So I picked the name of the first TF I saw.

by **Rodentus Prime** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 6:37 am

I'll hopefully be getting MP Megatron in april nice and cheap - my parents are on a round the world holiday and they will be passing through singapore for a few days. I've given them strict instructions!! *cross fingers*

Don't worry about it....it's not like I'm desperate as my G1 MOSC Micromaster Combiners arrived this morning so that should keep me entertained for a few hours until I need my next fix of TF goodness.

Anbody would think I was addicted to this collecting TF lark....now where's my Rodimus....starting to shake....going cold turkey is not good!

Oh and welcome back to all the disgruntled brits out there we desperately need to get this thread back over the 100 page mark!

News Credits: 1 · by **JetfireUK** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 7:02 am

One thought that has come to mind is whether we could use this thread for want lists and such. Basically I'm sure that there are loads of people who are after certain figures and I thought that it would be good to add lists here. What do the rest of you think?

Okay, I'm just asking on my behalf - I want a cheap MP02 damnit!
