I guess that it would be. Maybe an American Express place or bank would be able to help you out?

Oh, yeah, I got a new addition today - PREDAKING!

Man, am I chuffed. Now I'm going to spend the remainder of my aftenoon trying to transform it!

*giggles like a little lad*

alright then...a trip to oakwood's cyberdome it is

Slightly disgruntled today. I got the KO cassetticon sets from Xybertoys today but I got 2 Buzzsaws, no Lazerbeak.

Ah the Yakuza. Brings back memories of Red Steel.

Birmingham was never so violent when I lived there.

my mates reckon that my leaving caused an all-out war...


Maybe?


The fun house rocked. I used to day-dream of crashing the gp-kart into the dude's legs. And I wanted all the stuff in the fun house itself...


I snapped.
I bought my first two Decepticons today, breaking 10 years of brotherly tradition. I bought Classics SS and Cybertron Rumble- as I call him anyway. You know, the red ScrapMetal.

They both rock. I might have to buy all the Classics Decepticons myself. Screw my brother!

ahhh yes...i wonder iof any fights broke out over who wanted the prizes at the end of Fun House...or did they get two of each prize

I think there was two of everything, so that both kids were happy.
Either that, or whatever prizes a player grabbed, that's what they got.

Now I think about it, I think it's the latter.

I'm sure that lead to a bunch of fights backstage and on the way out.

One kid goes home with the good stuff. The other goes home with a broken leg and two black eyes

or don't...if he got run over by the go-kart

You managed to get one? Well done that man!! Definitely one that adds style to any TF collection in my view!

Cheers Dude! There's something good about the blocky, diecast goodness that's Predaking. He's bloody heavy and looks very, very evil.

Now, all I need to do is track me down an MP Magnus, a couple of BTs and I'll be happy for a week or two

congrats on getting Predaking.

Wow... all of a sudden the shops (especilly TrU) are bloody useless for tfs again... grr

Im finding myself more and ore looking at the star wars lego instead of transformers.

Good thing it's far too expensive for me to actully waste money on.

I like Star Wars Lego. In the past I've spent the best part of £200 buying the stuff.


I might buy the Star Destoyer and the At-St, sooner or later.


Off topic some, does anyone know if £135 is a good deal for a VOX Valvetronix 30-Watt amplifier?

Ironically when the Star Wars Lego first came out I swapped my collection at the time for a complete MIB Metroplex, MIB Ultra Magnus and MIB Grimlock.

Not sure on the amp - it's been ages since I've been in the fold. You might want to check out some of the music shops on Tottenham Court Road, London. They're supposedly renowned for good deals?

Sounds good to me JF.

I'll check it out.

Less disgruntled today - actually won some money from my mates at poker last night and had a go on his Wii - watching people doing the boxing is hilarious!!

I'm just surprised that you managed to get him since he was released a couple of years ago now. Oh yeah, he is REALLY heavy for a TF, too many energon snacks maybe.

However when he looks so menacingly evil and so cool, it just doesn't matter!

Sony can take their poor PS3 and shove it up there own ass.

Cue eff tea.

I can see the PS3 going down.

I had something TF-related to say but I've forgotten it.

Well, I'm happily stuffed on Gen 1 diecast goodness...

Next in my sights is MP-02. It shall be mine *cue evil laugh*

You know as much as I'm a Sony Playstation whore (owned PS1, PS2 and a PSP) jury's still out on the PS3. I know that it's cheap for a Blu Ray player but I'd rather put £400+ towards a new laptop.

The Wii on the other hand seems so much fun for so little cash...

I've always found the Playstations so frightfully dull.

Why's that? I'm just curious.

I could never get into the games, to be truthful, at least not on the PS2, anyway. I kept buying and buying these games but they never really captivated me. By the time San Andreas came around and, despite its hype, I still wasn't enjoying it I realised the PS2 was not for me.

I can see your point actually. A friend of mine gave me his copy of GTA San Andreas and I've never really bothered with it. Probably as it's just too big and time consuming.

There were a few good releases on the PS2, but in four years I've only ever bought ten games.

TBH I've not reached a decision on either the PS3, X-Box 360 or Wii. I'll probably wait until the machines drop in price (and have more games) before taking my chances.

For now I'll stick to TF hunting.
