Whatever happens Ani Bumblebee & Classics Prowl will be mine! (actually Ani Bumblebee will be mini-collider's but not until he's 5 (4.5 years to go! - that'll probably be when they arrive! lol)

Actually other than Bendy Prime (which is simple a matter of finding one with smokestacks & his mini-con at the right price for me) I'm not that hopeful they'll turn up in Blighty.

Well then, that's 4.5 years of fun! And curses, I really want a WW Prime. Guess EBay is my best bet, but me parents seem to think the computer will explode or something if I use EBay for toys... *sigh*

They're not toys, they're 'collector's pieces'

War Within Titanium Prime scored for £5.00!

Now all I need is for me to find
E.Scorponok's feet,
E.Skyblast's nosecone,
Voyager Classic Prime's weapons,
Titanium Soundwave's Weapons & Laserbeak,
Armada Bendy Prime,
Movie Legends Ironhide,
a stash of weapons suitable for Energon and later figures hand pegs (I'm arming Cliffy to the teeth!), maybe RM Lio Convoy,
A fleet of Poundshop RM KO Primes and Seekers

Then it's just the wait until Animated & Classics 2.0 arrive here, I'm thinking
Ani: Bumblebee, Soundwave, Grimlock, Starscream, Megatron,
Classics 2.0: Prowl & Tankor
(and spare Prowl for Kitbash into Jazz using a copy mold of botcon jazz's head - cunning eh!)

£5 for tit Prime? That is a good deal. Where ya find that? Even I can afford £5!

EDIT:- Goddamnit, I wish my router hadn't been turned off :sad:

This silly little steering wheel is far too small for my hands.

YAYZ!!!! Now Tan can get it too, and we'll have a party!
My copy should be here at about 6 (my dear mother's bringing it). So I will get some practise around the tracks (last motion sensitive racing game I played was motorstorm. Last november), and then I shall eliminate you!! :twisted:

I'll throw my Friend code and MARIO KART addy up when it arrives :wink:

I stopped looking at ebay when I spent the last of my moolah. Wish I hadn't now

have you noticed on ebay, when you actually win whatever it is your bidding for, it ALWAYS happens to land on your max bid..........not once have i won something under my max bid

Nope, I already said, EBay makes my computer explode or something like that And the most annoying thing is, it won't explode when me dad wants something, but wehen I want something... :-(

I always win under my max bid, because I always bid crazy stupid amounts to make sure I never lose.

That's usually because someone else has placed a maxbid just under yours (or pretty damn close). So an automated bidding war takes place, and ends when the maxima values are reached.

How's Mario Kart coming Tek?

I have completed up to 50cc Special Cup. =( This is really hard.

News Credits: 6 · Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:24 am

Excellent. I like a challenge. I revel in the hardship.

You know you can just use the nunchuk addon too, and drive old-skool style? You don't have to do it steering-wheel style. (Although I will)

I haven't played a racing game since Mario Kart on the SNES. Nothing is really going to help.

Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:28 am

the snes mario kart was soooooooooooooooo much better than all the mario karts (and any other racing game) since then. and if you take into account that all the mario karts have been great, it shows how good the origional was

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:34 am

Well the SNES Mario Kart had a bunch of awful flaws. Such as the computer's blatant cheating. Being able to jump high over any obstacle on the track and having unlimited weapons.

News Credits: 6 · Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:37 am

Mario Kart Double Dash had some of the same flaws. Such as the computer players' final smash as I call it.

They fling a leader shell they never had, and then boost right to the front.

Needless to say, I have never played Double Dash much.
DS Mario Kart was a lot like SNES, but without the cheating.
GBA was good, until I lost it ¬_¬

Keep practising Tek. There's still time!

UPDATE!

It has arrived! (Sadly, me silly mother didn't buy any batteries, so we've got one running Wiimote

Good job I can use GC controllers with it)

It looks awesome (my sis is straight on it

)

I will grab my Friend code, and MK code and throw them up in here.
And maybe start a MK thread over in video game forum.

Got Gold in all 50cc cups. I'll have a quick go at 100cc Mushroom cup before we start the multiplayer.

I've opened a friends lobby in WFC. Ready and waiting Tek! :wink:

Fri Apr 11, 2008 2:01 pm

no TF news here, got a week to wait til i can open my MP Screamer....

I did subscribe to that DC Superhero Collection thing...will ensure a steady supply of cool stuff for me to faff about with....

Really wanting TFA toys to come out now, cant seem to find any other TFs that i really want....plastic babes are cool but aside from looking good they dont do anything...ho hum

oh btw, anyone know any good UK based places for Henkei Classics? I wouldnt mind getting Roddy, BB and Megs to fill out my Classics 1.0 collection (dont want CJ, not keen on repaints)

edit: just noticed, nearly 370 posts, where did they all come from?

Fri Apr 11, 2008 2:14 pm

I think my brother might have Mario Kart, but my Wii still refuses to play nice and actually go online. I played too much Guitar Hero today anyway, now my wrists hurt :-(

Ahh, if I get into Uni I will have to buy my own consoles! And games! Ohnoez!! :shock:

I know the feeling, my knuckles have been stiff and achey from too much GH3 for a while now. Not that it stops me :roll:

That was awesome fun Tek. It'll be even better when we've got a few more opponents.

I wanted to play rainbow road, but I ain't unlocked it yet

(In fact, those matches were the first time I've touched MK Wii)

I'll spend the night unlocking everything possible. And learn how to wheelie. And powerslide.

Then we shall play again, oh yes :wink:

What happened? The connection dropped, and I had finally kicked your ass on Bowser's Castle. =(

You just didn't want me to win one.

News Credits: 6 · Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:21 pm

I blame my router. I started jumping, then you stopped moving, and then it booted me

I'm going to unlock rainbow road and whatnot, and then I'll be back on. So we can actually play rainbow road.

You'd already won that bowser's castle you twit

I'll be back on a little later with some more maps. I'll send a message to your Wii message board as it's quicker than posting here.

News Credits: 2 · Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:25 pm

Just keep in mind I have only just bought my Wii and I have no idea how things work.

News Credits: 6 · Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:28 pm

It'll come to you with time.

When I've sent the message, the envelope icon in the bottom right corner of the screen (on the Wii homepage) should glow or something similar. Just click on it.
