Well I'm heading through to Leeds tomorrow for free comic book day, I might try to get out to TRU, but it's right on the outskirts on the far side of the city and the way UK distribution tends to work new stuff generally shows up in the south a little while ahead of the north. If I find the set I'll pick it up, I'm sure that the painted on battle damage on Prime won't be too hard to remove.

Supercolider, if you're online tonight any idea what kind of stock Forbidden Planet and Cyber City are carrying at the momment? Just trying to figure how expensive this weekend's likely to be in terms of Encores and Henkais.

That'd be cool, I lost the tutorial pic when the pc got wiped ;)^

What did you use to do it? What cutting tool?

Darn it all. Why did they have to start releasing them now.

I stopped by my local stores and they're not out yet, but the new toys usually go out on Fridays so I'm expecting them to pop up on the weekend.

But I'm flat broke, if I had known it was going to be so soon I wouldn't have put all my money into Tekkaman and a Wii. =(

I know there's no rush but it's gonna kill me to see them on shelves and have to leave them.

I'll just take me mom with me whenever I go near TRU, WW etc, and pull a sad face

Hopefully pity will claim me at least one deluxe.

What glue?

Throw up your pics again to save me running back and finding them? ;;)

I really wanna get this done, but I'm not sure I have the ability.

I can see me **** it up.

Thanks for the heads up Waaaaghlord. I want them now, but i'll wait until sunday i think. Hmmm new figures, Iron-Man, ahead of schedule on my work, the beginning of Boris Johnson's reign of terror, something else i won't mention because its before 9pm....this is looking to be an eventful bank holiday weekend!

Yay, animated stuff - gonna be making my way to TRU tomorrow but won't be buying the 2 pack, will only be buying non-battle damaged things if they're out as well.

News Credits: 2 · Fri May 02, 2008 3:08 pm

I want that Prime. I just wish he didn't have the battle damage, since it looks a little lame just painted on like that. But it doesn't look like the mould was designed for battle damage so maybe they'll release him standalone in future waves.

Congrats to waaaaghlord for the spot, another stirring effort from the ODB

Good news - Animated Toys are at my TRU so might get some soon

Bad news - after reading the new rules for HMW, it looks like the end of the RDD. This makes me sad :-(

But good news! - off to see Iron Man now. W00t :grin:

MB you clownshoe, get back on Mario Kart.

News Credits: 6 · Fri May 02, 2008 5:02 pm

I'll try.

They've kicked me off it, but I'll try plugging it into my room.

Don't be surprised if I dissappear mid-race. That'll just be the router being turned off by me dad ¬_¬

Well - Iron man was pretty darn cool :grin:

Boooooo at you. Im holding out until Sunday.

Rant Start > Im tired of reading bad reviews of Ironman by critics who hate hollywood blockbusters either because they have no imagination or because its a 'sell-out'. Idiots wouldnt know entertainment if it bitch slapped them across the face.

Also i've caught up with those yanks today by watching eps 4-19 of TFA. In comparison to the nonsense of RID, Armada, Energon & Cybertron we've had to endure other the past decade(nearly)....TFA is a really really good, fun show. Well written, directed and animated. <End Rant.

Of course Animated is well written. It's from the same writing team that brought us Beast Machines, the greatest TF series of all time (and yes, I am serious).

Sat May 03, 2008 4:15 am

looks like plenty of people are finding the TFA 2-packs around the country, ill be hitting my local TRU at somepoint over the weekend

News Credits: 2 · Sat May 03, 2008 6:03 am

No Animated toys near me, and I don't want them badly enough to go gallivanting around the country looking for them.

I'll just wait it out, maybe order them from Amazon or something.

Good games last night Tek! We even got Fender Bender in there at some point!

I love seibs races.

What annoys me though, is that every time something disconnected me from you guys, I lost a load of points. I spent the night (well, morning) recovering all my lost points.

And oh man! Player "Q" had 10000 points! And 3 stars on every single track, every single difficulty! And I beat him on rainbow road! :grin:

Just hanging about now, waiting for the new YTV animated episode to show up on youtube.
