I should try that. I might have to go help out on my grandparents farm if I don't find something soonish. Not lookin forwards to that. ¬ ¬


Sort of - except the people actually find a job for you as they get paid by the company you end up working for - some of the jobs have a good rate of pay.

Talking of trials, I hear some places pay you to get new drugs tested on yourself? Easiest job ever! :3

Now that is a serious bargain - perhaps your Asda are doing the same as mine and stopping selling TFs (except for the SW ones)

possibly, but they are currently adding a second story onto their building, so they are trying to get rid of all the stock, they had the 3" tits for £1.99



*EDIT* WOW................Ivejust read Stormbringer (Good read), and it says cont in Escalation, now, aint i right in thinking Infiltration is first?? (which is when Prowl radio's Prime within the stormbringer books). I jumped straight to Escalation (just to see if it continued) and all the bots were in their earth alts with no explination. Have i missed something here??? or is it just a kinda lazyness by the writers? Basically skipping the landing and making us form the missing sotry in our mind, kinda like they did in the origionla G1 cartoon

Pancake day!


The one day a year we can lick lemons and not be judged!


I sliced up a vienetta and slapped it onto five pancakes, along with chocolate sauce and maple syrup!


MY POOR TEETH! :sad:
Nah, it was truly awesome. I'm doing it again next week.



I'm not a great fan of Resi Evil games either SC. Most of them are terrible. But Resi Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles look spiffing! :P


When I find you Ash, I will decimate you. And incinerate your tasteless remains :P



I'd get Jazz, but I'm not into encores really. And I already have Commerative series II Jazz.

Xybertoys is an awesome site. I'll be buying Hybrid Convoy, Alt Skids and Tak Classics Grimlock off of them next month.



It's impossible to find part time work around here too. Shame, because I really need the money for tfs and Wii stuffs... :-(


I get a fiver a week off me mom, "when she can be bothered". It's really quite bad. I spend an entire month's savings on one alternator, while my brother buys a new computer and countless tfs.

In the past five months he's bought every tf he's wanted, except MP SS.

Woah dude, thats a helluva lot for a KO. are you sure you want to spend that much on an unofficial product? Its written on amazon as well that the seller states that its not an official Hasbro/Takara Tomy product.

Just giving you the heads up.

I know how you feel its the same around my area, it seems when I eventually work it always clashes with my timetable. As for the wii... there isn't really any games that have caught my eye for this year apart from Smash Bros and MK Wii.

Battalion Wars II is looking good. I'm also after Guitar Hero 3, and a few others for some reason I can't remember the names of... :-?

:lol: glad to help, If the KO was around £10 - £15 then I'd consider it, could also use the box for my original one.

Hey MB..err i mean Dealer, lol (watcha dealin anyway???) was that the G1 Inferno you were after? coz if it was then that would be pretty weird, not only do you have the same desk-majig as me, you're after the same TF's! lol

I managed to find an Inferno Reissue at a specialist shop in London, paid £25 for it though but not bad for something I'd never see in my TRU (whats with that? random distribution...)

Ask and Ye shall receive

http://www.cobraislandtoys.com/tf/1986/metroplex.html

scroll to the bottom of the page and click the image of the instruction booklet, it'll bring up the full original G1 Instruction booklet as a jpg.

Its my fav site for getting instruction booklets on loose G1 TF's I get through ebay.
