As did I - and although rules are rules, I think it is slightly unfair that the mod in question actively went looking for oversized sigs, especially as it had been weeks since I posted in the HMW forums, and I had the sig made for me so took it in good faith that it complied with the rules.

If you guys have any trouble with your sig sizes I can help you out if need be.

I can make any sig filesize compliant without shrinking the dimensions.

Tesco Direct has Movie Leader Class Prime down to £19.98! Megs as well, I think, 'cus it says 'style and colour may vary'!

Also:
Robot Replicas reduced to £6.48.
B/Bee 2 pack - £7.48
Movie Deluxe - £7.47
Star Wars Transformers - £9.29

Not sure if it's in store as well or not, will find out tomorrow (technically today, I suppose!) or Saturday.

Yeah. Movie leaders have been half price in store for a while now. They're the only ones that didn't go back up after the sale.

Not really, Simon's holding off on sending out the registration packs until after he's got confirmation on this year's guest of honour and made the announcement on that (within the next week with any luck).

As far as dealears at AA go, it really can vary. It's a good chance to get some bargains on loose items and actually be able to take a look at them before parting with your cash rather than relying on online pictures and descriptions. There's usually a good range of vintage and import items floating around. Most dealers will knock a percentage of the top if you're buying a few pieces from them, and it never hurts to try a bit of haggling in any case. The main draw for me is the social side of things rather than the shopping, but that doesn't stop me from parting with a fair old wedge over the course of the day.

Anyway, got an order in for MP Megs today. I'd been looking at one from China midweek, listed as 12 available but decided to put off ordering until my pay landed today. Went back to the listing today and the seller had knocked 10% off the BiN price. MP Megs shipped for almost a straight £50, now that is what I call a deal.

Waaaaghlord, I tip my hat to you sir. That is a very groovy price.

Electron-- Why not put in a minimum win of like £15? Ensure you get something good for your hotrod? He's not exactly that easy to come by is he?

benidorm? No clue whatsoever.

God I want that upgrade kit now. Maybe they'll design an MP one down the line somewhere?

I recently had to purchase a replacement off ebay and it cost me a little bit under £15 including p&p. The key question is how long does the auction have left? - if it's a couple of days then I would suggest leaving it as it is.

Well the guy offered me £20 and to get it to him by tuesday u see.

But i dont have a clue how hard to cum by classics hotrod is, as well as i will most probs use the money to buy Henkei hotrod, as i prefer him more as he is very G1 esq.

So wadya reckon could i get more for him?

and its weird i always thort the bidder1 thing is a bot u no so the seller could boast there sale price, but when i signed into my account its actually a person.

Fri May 16, 2008 11:56 am

AA is pretty damn cool, and well worth going at least once (this'll be my 2nd time)

i looked at MP megs on ebay a week ago and saw a few at £50, if they still have them at the end of the month i think ill get one myself

Fri May 16, 2008 12:56 pm

if i can scrounge up some cash i think i will check out AA,

I keep asking if they can book Stan Bush, but no koy on that one. We had David Kaye in 2006, so it'll really have to be a major player to top that one, yes? Cullen would rock.

I've had a quick search on ebay and found 4 classics hotrods, and I think the reason you have so much interest is your price - 2 of them were £25 but the other was starting at £8. So he's not hard to come by, but if people were willing to pay £25 for him there would be a few less on there right now.

That paragraph sounds really confusing to me, so in short - sell it to the bidder as I think its the best you'll get.
