Don't suppose you feel like 'tubing it for the rest of us?

Sure, why not. It won't be permanent though. I'll be putting it up with a fake title and removing after a day or two as I don't want it sitting in my account.

Yay, I will finally see it then thanks.
You'll have to post a link once you're done!

Cheers Tek - will it be tonight?

It's 90% done downloading, so I'll start uploading it shortly. I'll post a link as soon as it's ready.

This is what I've seen in Hanley City Centre.
Woolworths had three Recon Force Barricades, three Ratchets and a Blackout, plus a lot of Jazz and Cliffjumper Cyber Slammers. Forbidden Planet had three deluxe Swindles, a Cybertron Megatron, 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime and a Robot Masters Wingstun, along with several Sixliner Micromasters.

I think that you guys are overreacting on the Magnus upgrade news. All they've said is that they'll be prioratising distribution to US online retailers. Since BBTS had the Screamer/Skywarp sets they should be posting a preorder for this shortly (let them get the business of Botcon out of the way before they update again, yes?). I'm guessing that getting hold of one of these is only likely to be a problem for those of us without credit/debit cards and we're good at looking after each other so grabbing a few extras for ODB internal distribution shouldn't present us with too many problems. The only thing is to work out who's buying for who ahead of time and jump on the preorders as soon as they become available. My bank balance should let me order two quite comfortably for the foreseeable, one or two other peeps doing the same and we'll soon all be covered.

The voice of reason strikes again.

Well I'm not too fussed about getting the upgrade kit - although that may change when a coloured picture pops up.

Unfortunately, whoever encoded this did a really crappy job of it, and splitting it causes the sound to run out of sync. And since my account is limited I've had to split it into three parts.

Here's part one.

Parts two and three will follow shortly. Sorry about the sync issues.

Cheers Tek, although there were no sync issues on Part 1 - are they exclusive to parts 2 and 3?

Perhaps the Youtube encoding fixed the problem.

I have not watched it on YT yet so perhaps that is the case.

I'm glad whatever the cause.

Part 2 is in being transferred right now.

Just out of interest Tek, how long does uploading a video take as I've never done it before?

Depends on the length of the video. It takes a rather long time.

News Credits: 2 · Sun Apr 20, 2008 4:26 pm

It depends on the size of the video, but for me it takes quite some time as my upload speed is quite slow. But I will continue to do my best.

No worries man, I was just wondering if there was a specific amount of time that it took.

So - going by the latest pics of him Animated Blitzwing looks like he'll be between Voyager megatron and lockdown in height :DANCE:

He is definately on my shopping list.

While I do like some of them, none will be on my shopping list until I physically see them. I find that that is the best way to avoid disappointment.

Sun Apr 20, 2008 5:52 pm

He's probably the only animated figure I'll get to go in my G1 collection as I doubt we'll get another blitzwing anytime soon, though I do like the look of prowl and Blackarachnia - maybe as impulse buys.

Part 3 is done!

Sorry about the sync issues, there's really nothing I can do about it without re-encoding the video. But I'm not prepared to do that at the moment. =(

I'm sure the regular uploaders will have it sorted soon enough.
