Personaly I think it'd be a crying shame to seperate the UK, United we stand, Divided we fall, and all that toss.

The more I've heard about it on the radio, the more I think the simple solution would be be to copy the states and turn into the United States of Britain. Then each countyr would have some control, but there'd still be one unifying government, with one military and whatnot.

It also has to be said that the Scotish first minister sounds like he lives in cloud cookoo land, but eh, what do you expect from an election prosess that didnt actully work properly.


Shows how much I pay attention to the outside world. This is the first I've heard of it. I agree with MB thoough, everyone who tries to rule screws up badly in some way, shape or form.

I have been described as pure evil by at least 3 different people, at different times. Heh, it's far too much fun. One friend even sought me out, just to get advice for revenge on her ex. 8) Decided what I suggested was too extreme.

I may look at turning my DVD player into multi region. Then I can import the BW box sets from Australia. The ones with a bajillion special features. Oh, so many things to look at. Still, with no tf's I'm interested in getting, I need to spend my money on something other than the graphic novels (picked up All Fall Down today, only need End of the Road to complete the Unicron attack).


Oh, and undisgruntled, despite using a 15 grand piece of kit, and having the thing wipe it's entire programming while out in the field. Crazy instrument.

I love being evil too.


I did that, they had diddly squat.

I just took it back to TRU, and went to tescos and got alt Swindle, die hard 4 (awesome movie) and the BB two-pack for a repaint project. I like to have stuff to do and i enjoy repainting transformers almost as much as collecting them. Plus if i can later sell them on ebay for a tidy profit then theres more cash to spend on other transformers for myself. :P

hmm, i think ill give up on TF buying till the Animated toys come out, concentrate on my slutty anime figure collection, that way, if im not looking for TFs to buy, its more likely ill spot something cool somewhere (always the way, soon as you start looking for something else, you find the thing you were looking for before :P)

I struggling to remember when I bought my last tf... its slightly worrying, no where has anything i want (well i want the voyager repaints, but i sure as hell aint paying £20 each for designs i already have and dont really like). I did recive a few scouts a couple of weeks ago, but they were bought at least am onth ago, and by the time i got em, i already had a version of all three (i bought em for cyb armorhide, but before they arived i managed to win and recieve movie armorhide).

Im not too disgruntled for some reason, though I dont feel all to healthy right now which is a little annoying.

I don't know if anyone's interested in them but I just saw a Star wars/transformers attacktix set at Matalan for a tenner - it has battle mode prime, a version of megatron, Omega supreme (not G1), luke, Darth vader and a stormtrooper on a big walker.

Arr yes, that set is in Asda too, cept it's Omega Sentinel you get :wink:



Thoroughly undisgruntled, as my new amplifier has (finally) appeared! Hurrah! I'm gonna spend tonight fiddling with it and making some custom sounds to play with.



Still no word from Maniac23 :(
I really hope he hasn't gone off the idea of selling Mirage to me. I really want it off him.



And you are right Insurgent. When you stop looking, you'll find what you want. That's how I found Energon Wingsaber and Alt Mirage!

45W Master Blaster? Try 200w through 4x10" and 2x15" Marshall Cabs! :grin:

I be mostly non-disgruntled despite imminent un-employment.

Just ordered Classics Starscream, Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children Cloud & Sephiroth Figures.
Also blagged G2 Laser Prime on ebay for £7.00 inc P&P

Robot Heroes wave 2 arrived yesterday and Unicron just the cutest liddle planet-devourer in the whole wide-world. Chibi Demi-gods huh whoyda thunk it.
My Boba Fett & Sandtrooper arrived and are cooler than the originals they are replacing.

Sadly Star Wars Darth Revan figure was due to be released in the UK on Friday but it's been delayed again - I keep forgetting that Hasblo have that license too...

wow thats pretty good lol, is G2 laser prime the reissue version? or the red and white version?

also those FF figures you mentioned, are they the play arts figures? (the ones with tifa and vincent?) coz I have them and they're ace. originally got sephiroth coz he rocks (masamune all the way :grin: ) and received cloud as a gift. If I had to choose though I would have liked the one that came with his bike fenrir. anyway sounds like a good haul there.

Master blaster, is that a G1 mirage you're after? I really want one myself coz I think the bot mode looks ace. hope it works out for ya man.

Sadly no. I'm not quite rich enough to buy one of those. It's alternator mirage. Hope he comes on soon. I'm getting worried.




£7 for Laser rod Prime?! Wow!

I remember buying him for £40 from Debenhams at Merry Hill many, many moons ago. Best figure ever.



Working headlights are truly genius.

Hey guys wheres the best place to buy G1 Re-issues in this country fro a good price? TRU doesnt have much choice and no other shop seems to stock anything but movie toys. Are there any good UK sites that arent totally ripping people off? Also, if i bought a G1 Megatron from a seller in Hong Kong, will dumbass UK customs sieze it?

The FF figures should be the 7 / 7.5 inch Kotobukya ones

Prime looks the spit of Ryan's

He's missing the trailer and sword but I'm not fussed about that but looks in great condition (only missing 1 sticker) Sadly/fortunately the seller doesn't know anything about Tf's so I'll find out exactly how good a deal it was when he arrives.

cool, yeah those are the FF figures I have too, they are great. sephiroth is kinda hard to get into a good pose because is hair and jacket tend to get in the way but its still a good figure.

havn't got round to opening cloud yet but from the packaging it looks like an extra arm is included to hold the buster(?) sword.

I've noticed Transformers in Tesco sell out very quickly. Mine had a full load of Deluxe and Voyagers at the beginning of the week, now all they have are Transformers Attacktix and a few Robot Replicas. They may have had to fill the shelf space with anything considering it's bad business to have empty toy space this close to christmas!

A little notification.

TRU are now stocking SWTF Darth Vader Death Star. 40pounds.
As well as the new package Millenium falcon in Alt mode. 20 pounds.

Darth Vader comes in robot mode and is about the size of a Leader class figure. Lot smaller than Unicron and Primus. Then again it is only suposed to be a moon so the scale to Primus and Unicron could be quite good.

Other than that. I was in the Entertainer on Monday they had their Christmas Catalogue out This was Advertising. Ultimate BB for 65pounds 15 pounds off. SWTF Darth Vader Death Star for 30pounds 10 pounds off. Though they had no stock of these on the shelf they should be there for Christmas.

HAPPY HUNTING. ARG.

I'd suggest Toyzandgamez in the uk, or Xybertoys from abroad (with free delivery).
It's unlikely for a megatron to be seized but anythings possible.
