Heck, I'm glad I'm escaping from London - then again I don't know how safe Northern Ireland is instead?

It's indeed a frightening world.

yup, part of brum was closed off about 2 years ago, after a turf war happened. Still, the Triads own most of the Chinese restaurants and buffet places in Birmingham city center

Aww don't freak the poor chap out. Its not that bad really. Just be firm yet gentle and it will take about 45 min. to an hour.


Cripes. Not to sound like a tosser but it took me 20 minutes without the instructions to transform MP Megatron the first time. It all just fits. It is an amazingly logical transformation and similar enough to the original toy.

And as for disapointing? Never! I am actually thinking about buying a second. Never did that with Convoy! Some of the poses MP Megs pulls are great. I must admit I have him in a fairly generic "Legs braced while pointing Fusion Cannon" pose.

Hey Big Grim,

You've saved us from our serves and brought the thread back to reality :D

No offence but you are a tosser :P Really, 20 minutes without the instructions? That's outstanding - if I were only so logically minded!

IMHO Megatron is the best Masterpiece figure and will remain so until I get Skywarp. I'm a sucker for purple F-15s!

I'd say thats genius...doing MP megatron without instructions in 20 mins. You'd have been a whiz on Krypton Factor, back in the day

I was having a really good day.

Fun House? Are you mad? You'd have to put up with Mr. Mullet Pat Sharp and his bimbo twins.

Ahh, happy days. Back when kids TV rocked. It's gone downhill since Cat Dealy left :sad:

Still, I'm quite un-disgruntlted. I've managed to snag an MP Brave Exkaiser! Well, maybe I should I *will* snag this figure - I have to wait till June to afford him.

When I finally get that bad-boy I'm letting MP Megs borrow the sword to batter MP Prime with.

*Does happy dance across the room*

There's a Crystal Maze you can go around near Tenby in Wales. But instead of collecting gold tickets in the dome, you have to hit lit lights. If you hit a dim light, that's the equivilant of a silver ticket. It's great fun. :grin:

It was worth going through the gunge games in Fun House just to get to go around that huge Fun House. Ahh, I'm getting all misty eyed with happy memories now. :PACMAN: :GHOST: (another classic)

It's some random guy on a screen with a really big moustache that takes you around. But all four zones are there, along with the mix of games (physical ones are fun :grin: ). Best to go in the morning when it's empty so you can run from zone to zone like Richard O'brian used to (you switch zones after each game and actually have to solve riddles to find the right game). Last me and my dad went in, we managed to get 22 crystals. Though it's easy to miss if you just drive past, the outside looks like a large pub out in the middle of nowhere.

Does anyone know how I'd go about getting a money order in dollars? Is it the same as a postal order? :???:

Here's some info about it on wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Maze#Spin-offs

The part about the Cyberdrome version (although there are one or two games where you have to get back out before winning).
