I was merely giving you directions to where you could see it if you still wanted to after MB gave you a really good description. Sorry if it seemed like I was patronising you or anything

This is why I don't post here anywhere near as much as I used to. People have become far too sensitive. Tip toeing around in fear of hurting another's feelings, when it's clear they were joking. As I was here. No harm done JAzzrules.

Linking to other sites is a bannable offence? Since when? Bagh! Another reason you don't see me posting in the other forums as much.

Funny you should be saying about hunting down teh -tions. I was thinking of getting teh tpb's of Infil and Esc and selling the individual issues off. They look better on my shelf and I may be able to find them. If your interested in buying the individuals, let me know. They're all there and all mint. Except for #0 which has a slight loosening on one page, but it's still firmly in place and all come in plastic wallets. Baring in mind this offer is only valid if I can find the tbp's mind, so don't get your hopes up too much until I've confirmed.

ive just been trying to track down the The Infiltration series and the two after that (devastation complete works is out in may yay!) Ive found somewhere that will sell me the first two series for £14 so ill order them tomorrow i think. I havent seen animated yet, i saw about 2mins on you tube, some robin hood guy robbing a security van, and i think it was the animation that put me off, ill probably give it a good look one day. However i do like the looks of the animated megatron toy, looks funky. Where do you get your comics from?

Insurgent, thank you for the kind offer but like you id rather have them all in one book (space is ultra tight here). I did kinda pick up on the hyper sensitive vibe, my theory is though, say what you feel, if someone is upset by it, then they can tell me and ill happily explain the joke, or tell em to grow up lol :wink:

Like I could afford em right now anyway :lol:

I say damn the consequences! If you're really that sensitive, then why are ya on teh intrawebs? You gonna get buuuuurned!

Nah, there's nothing like that in the ODB thread, but everywhere else does seem to be getting rather hot-under-the-collar.

good good. Hey i thought spotlight grimlock was out next month????? If so, why is the shop i got Blaster from, selling it already (and it aint preorder)????????

Good to know no harm done Insurgent

I think its something to do with respecting the clubs wishes about not leaking stuff out etc. As a member of this site your supposed to respect the wishes of the club, so posting the links to these forbidden images is disrespecting them hence its a bannable offence.
AFAIK - its the same on TFW2005 and Allspark.com. Oh well, Toy Fair starts tomorrow and its the press day so we'll probably see some better images popping up around the web soon.

Nah, it's apparently because ShockwaveUK linked to the TTT. That's why he dissappeared.

Seems more like weeding out than a fair banning though...

News Credits: 2 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 11:35 am

Fair enough. That's a damn good price, both infl and esc for £14. Where was that? Knowing my luck, I wont be able to find them now anyway, not now that I've decided to get them. Dev in may? Yey!! And I don't know if you were asking me, but I get them from Travelling Man. NOt only do they put them in plastic wallets at no extra charge, but the service is friendlier than FP and there's a cute lass who works behind the till in TM. We once had a nice little disscussion about how the tf film would be once when I went in to get an issue.

I understand if it's something like that club thingy. So it's only something like that, not any links? Why would a link to teh Tavern Table get him banned? I don't know, it seems this political correctness is even infesting teh web like a cancer.

Spotlight Grim is out? Which shop is that? Do you have a copy in your hands, or is it just a preview for upcoming months? NEED INPUT! INPUT! INPUT!

Sorry, had a Johnny 5 moment there.

What's the TTT?

Didn't the people who linked to the Sunstreaker pic in the original thread have banning threatened?

Toy Fair is a UK fair, and apparently the only one we have a year. Alas, the public is not allowed in incase prototypes get stolen etc. If we were though, I would so be going due to the ridiculous amount of free time I have.

its advertised as for sale on the website i got blaster from, i aint bought it yet, because i didnt want to pay for it then have to wait bloody weeks, but it deffinately doesnt have a pre issue lable on it.

Btw, which cover do you guys have for spotlight blaster??? I paid an extra £2 to get a supposed limited edition cover, and im fairly sure ive been done lol

They are £5-£8 each on amazon. You have to get them from amazon stores though, most are american but there is 1 british seller

man, i hate this damn country lol

*edit* lmao, i just thought id look again, its down for release in march, you have to go all the way through payment details before it tells you that though, stupid thing lmao

Limited edition cover - pfffff

While I could be wrong, I didn't think IDW did limited edition covers. I know they do retailer incentive covers but that's for when there are more than 2 different covers. Look in the back cover and if your cover is not listed as A or B then you probably do have a limited one.

Tue Jan 29, 2008 11:50 am

It says RI

Then it may be a limited edition cover - how much did it cost you?

Tue Jan 29, 2008 11:54 am

£6.99

News Credits: 6 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 11:56 am

I dunno. That's why I think it's more than just banning because it's against the rules.

They probably did.

Apart from me! Huurah! (I suppose I did wait until they'd thrown it up on that other website...)

£14 sounds good, especially for collection books. Amazon shops you say?

Time to have a pokey-oke!

There are four covers usually. A and B coloured, and A and B sketched. The sketched ones are generally harder to come by (and keep clean by the sound of it).

Tue Jan 29, 2008 11:59 am

i can imagine someone on here buying them now, and then there wont be any left tomorrow for me lmao

Woah - I only pay £2.40 from travelling man - but I do go and pick it up in person, so I assume that includes postage.

By 2 covers, I meant more than 2 different drawings, like for infiltration I believe there were 5 covers, with the 5th one being the limited one.

Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:03 pm

yeah, the rest of the comics he's got on site are £2.50 p&p inc but he aint got many (and im not sure whch ones are current/old etc.) he does put 4 old comics up on his site every couple of weeks so you can read old ones, its pretty cool

News Credits: 6 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:08 pm

hehe

I don't know which is which on Amazon. So I tell ya what pot. Link me to them tomorrow, after you've bought them

News Credits: 2 · Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:13 pm

I'll have to have a poke around Amazon. I know Time Wars is up for £50. Not a cat in hell's chance.

The back of Blaster only has 2 covers. The one with him and his giant head behind, and the one with his cassettes at teh rock concert. What's on teh front of your issue, and is it coloured as I fear you may have been swindled.

Infiltration and limited covers as well as retailer incentives, and shockwave spot had a limited cover, but none other has that I can remember.

Somehow I've gone from Johnny 5 to T2 3D on wiki. And software has crashed, meaning I lost the past hour's work of monkey button pressing buttons. :-x

I'm off for food.

Tue Jan 29, 2008 12:14 pm

ok dude, will do. Im ordering the megatron origins aswell. Cant find any details about the collectors edition anywhere though. Any ideas on where i can get a CE from the net?

Tue Jan 29, 2008 3:27 pm

Febs spotlight is supposed to be arcee, with grimlock followed by mirage in march!

Tue Jan 29, 2008 3:31 pm

Gonna be a hell of a few months for comics. Although it is sad that we no longer have toy sightings to discuss and have become comic-centric (don't get me wrong, TF comics are all I get in my local shop now).
