Still got some good stuff to go as well like Punch/counterpunch, PM Prime, C-Supreme starscream, 3 set of Transformer Jr, Exclusive minicons, the rest of my Cybertron stuff, 1 binaltech, Robotmasters and hobby magazine exclusives and a few random g1 bits,

pluss the comic mountain

i did bow to pressure today and pick up the evolution of a hero B'Bee pack from tesco's, Bargin at £14 as well, will pick up the B'Bee FAB's and thats it for the movie

I might be interested in Punch/Counterpunch if he's complete and in good condition, also what exactly are tf juniors, how much do they cost, and are they any good?

Finally, what Cyb do you have left?

On other Cybertron related matters, I SHALL SOON HAVE AN ARMORHIDE!

Not only am I leading an auction for the movie one (at a very reasonable price) but Ive just gone for a BIN auction with 3 scouts, all ones I dont have (although I have the repaint of one, and origanal of the other), which includes C amrohide.

Yey.

Tf Juniors are simplified versions of G1 figures. They are painted very poorly and are made of plastic that feels like paper. Due to low demand for such things, there weren't many of them made. Unfortunately, this means that the prices are sky-high. I don't recommend them even if you like mini-me Transformers. There's miniature KOs that have better quality and complexity and for about a 20th of the price.

YEY! Won both of the Armorhides, I now am the proud owner of C and movie Armorhide!

Well Smokescreened, if you don't want them...

The only way I would ever consider selling/trading the collection would be if it were with all the Star Trek box sets, every episode, all the Trek movies, at least another 100 Trek books that I've not read yet and several Trek models that I'm looking for, those can be useful for tactical training in Second Life Starfleet. Except for the DS9 box set, I got that recently and it's excellent.
But even then I doubt I would sell them because even though I don't have the love for Transformers like I did when I was a kid, I love the engineering and the imagination, despite the poor QC department, weak distrubution a lot of the time, hardly ever getting a full line released here in the UK and the few TF gems that appear and tend to never get released either in the UK or a general release**coughBotcon Seekers**cough**Botcon Ironhide and Ratchet**cough**. Sorry, throat's a little dry.

The display unit is pretty much full, I moved the SWTF's out of the living room and into a corner in the bedroom and I keep finding ways to display the proper TF's, though for how much longer I don't know.
So even though I'm running out of room, it would take a lot to make me want to get rid of them. Also if I do, the living room will look very bare.

QUOTE OF THE DAY!

hehehe



Congrats Red. What were the other scouts?








Also, you know I was kidding right Smokescreened? :P

Money pot for Alt Mirage -> £12! Huzzah! Half way there!

Quick question - are the movie scouts actually worth getting? I saw clocker and another one whose name escapes me (skyblast?) in woolworths today and couldn't make up my mind as to whether I should buy them, anyhoo - I thought I'd ask you guys for your input (good/bad points) before I make up my mind. Cheers in advance

Arrrgh, I not be disgruntled at all today. I picked up both G2 hardback books, and at a quick glance, they seem hardcore. Looking forward to reading them. I also got the one called Surrender free, so I can see how the combiners were made in the comics. I actually be having a good day. Tharr were also a funky manga book I got free with them, which flips in the middle, so the front half is upside down to the back half. Which is actually another front half. Or is it two back halves? And I got a piece of work handed in as I did it over the summer on me own, when it was only assigned on Friday.

Now, if only I can think up a nice, neat way to finish the fighting in my fanfic, this will be an almost perfect day.

Pyrate joke time...

I've got Alt Mirage, got him ages ago. He's worth getting, his alt mode is beautiful and his robot mode isn't half bad. Wouldn't mind getting the Alt Hot Rod version of him.
Wasn't there a TF who was a pirate? Cannonball if I remember correctly, was he ever released in the UK or was he yet another TF who never got released beyond the US?

Tony.

I just found out how much pocketmoney I get!
I now get €50! + my mum gave me as a bonus my old pm extra,so I now have €87 on my account!
Now off to the plastic crack!

IMHO, the movie scouts are worth every penny. They are some of the best tfs around. I loves me some scouts I do!



CURSE YOU DM!!!!

Here I am, scrimping and saving fer me plastic crack...You can really see the two ends of this addiction can't ye?



Yarr, CYbertron Cannonball, a repaint of Cybertron Red Alert, was never released over here. Nor was Red Alert to my knowledge.


Aye, I look forward to adding the best of the alternator line to me collection shelf.
Then I'll get alternator Prime while he's in the shops.


How many funnies ye got left now SC? Surely ye've eaten yer way through the lot!



Funny thing you say that Insurgent. I spent the last two hours of college today doing my bio coursework. I received it Friday, and finished it today!

I'm havin a good day. Especially since our old drummer - whom we happily booted out the group- has started a new band with the poopy drummer across the way from him. He thinks he can sing, and that he can play guitar! ROFLMAO!!!!

Basically, if he was any more ****, people would be trying to scoop him up in a pooper scooper.

I think that's my lot fer the day.

Cannonball, TF equivalent of the Dread Pirate Roberts, sadly was not officially released in the UK.

Worth every penny you say? I may have to pop out tomorrow and get them then. Don't know whether anyone already knows this but Boots have transformers stuff on 3 for 2 mix and match.

Waitaminutebackupthere - Boots(?) have Transformers stuff?

waaaaghlord wrote:Waitaminutebackupthere - Boots(?) have Transformers stuff?

I second that!



Not surprising I suppose.

Every shop is trying to grab a piece of the tf mega-cake.

I'll have to check my local tomorrow...


Saw another Concept BB in my very local Woolies today. Along with Arcee.


I may have to get her at some point. But most of the rest of this year is dedicated to back-buying what I missed.

Not a happy bunny today. I have been waiting months to complete my WST Dinobot colection & they had a release date of 30th of September. Now they have been put back to the end of October. Grrrrr!!!

Only been collecting them as replacements for my origonal G1's which I had to sell when I was out of work a couple of years ago. (Unboxed but complete and in pristine condition ).

waaaaghlord wrote:Waitaminutebackupthere - Boots(?) have Transformers stuff?

Yes you heard right - Boots have transformers stuff - it's on their website (and I assume it's in store as well) and I think almost everything transformers related is in the offer

Boots with TFs the Boots with all them hygienic stuff?
Oh man I'm gone from Sngland just 1.5 months and that happens?

WST Dinobots will be impossible to collect the set!
Cos there is a Santa Grimlock, with a Luckydraw version to that!

Readalert was out in England, I saw him last year in a TRU!

Aargh! They do! (faints) Anyways. I be disgruntled fer thar first time in a while at thar moment, me copies of Spotlight and Escalation have still not turned up, despite that website saying they'd be delivered within 48 hours, and this be a whole 49 hours ago Aargh! On second thoughts, maybe I be over reacting slightly...

That's just not good enough Frimal. If you're going to overreact then do it properly.

Step 1: Throw a tantrum, and if there isn't a tantrum to hand throw a small kitten.

Step 2: Have a little cry.

Step 3: Threaten to blow up Hasblo UK HQ.

Step 4: Have a great big sulk.

If steps 1-4 have failed to get results and your comics still haven't arrived poceed to:

Step 5: Get Hasblo UK's address from their website and begin construction of your letter bomb.

(and yes, I realise that for once your woes can't be traced back directly to Hasblo, but we're ODB damn it! Blaming them for everything from distribution woes to war in the Middle East to Third World poverty is what we do)

Aargh! Of course, I shall proceed with yer instructions at once!

1)Aargh! Now, where'd I place that tantrum... Oh well, Mr mugglesworth shall do. (throws Mr Mugglesworth. Mr Mugglesworth splats into window) "Aargh! Um Mum! Mr Mugglesworth tried attacking the window again! Mum: Again! That's the fifth time this week!

2)

3)Aargh! Curse you Hasblo UK HQ! I'll blow ye up yet if it be thar last thing I do!

4)

Aargh! Me comics aren't here yet, so it be onto step 5:

5)Dear Hasblo UK inside this here letter be a letter bomb, please scream really, really loudly and then run around in circles before attempting to jump out of a nearby window to save yourself, before tripping over the hopes and dreams of completionists in the UK.

P.S. End the war in the middle east at once and also end third world poverty right now. That's right, I'm onto you. Also, stop Dead Metals hiccuping!And astop jazzrules' indigestion

P.P.S. KABOOM!

Aargh! Me comics still aren't here...
