I think trouncing Ipswich is a little less impresive than touncing a team that had a real chance of going all the way, that is second in Italy, that had beat us 2.1 less than a week ago, and that was in the quater finals of the fricking champions league. Just a little less impressive.

And unless Liverpool REALLY cock it up, we WILL have an English team i nthe final, with a very good risk of both teams being english. When was the last time three of the 4 semi final teams were English?

Anyway... Transformers... Disgruntledness...

Man U's first three goals were all socred by englishmen. And Carrick scored a second i nthe second half, making 4 out of the 7 goals English. Added to that the half English, half Welsh wizard Giggs who had a scourcher of a game. As with all teams everywhere (not just the UK) Man U have a lot of forign players, but they allso have a lot of VERY GOOD English ones.

Its just that I noticed that majority of English clubs are made up of the best teens and players from abroad, with the odd English player thrown in

It was my understanding that that is true of a lot of things in England these days. Staying on the country estate, though, I'm a little out of touch with the rest of the land.

Excelent English players in United:
Scholes
Rooney
Smith
Carric
Ferdinand
Neville
Brown

There's two or three not so good English players too.

Anyway, WAAAAAY back on topic:
ANybody notice that MP Meg's gun barrel totally gets in the way of posing him with the scope on his arm?

Infact, is it me, or does the scope look like an utter after thought?

I found that too - i have to move the barrel on his back if i want the scope posed in a certain way

it would make things easier (but less accurate if the two things were on opposite sides

Or if the barrel could slide closer to his head

I wish the barrel positioning was better for TFC 06

Why TFC 06 specifically? Or do you mean G1 Megatron generally?

Also, since I don't own the toy, I'll ask this here: why is it that in some picture his barrel is horizontal by his hip and in others it's vertical on his back?

For some people the barrel on his back like the cartoon is how they like their Gen-1 megs to look. However the correct position for his barrel in the instructions is at his hip. Thats why if you look closely at his hip, his right side does not match his left but has a slight curved section for the barrel to sit in. Also it is very difficult to get his barrel strate up (parallel) on his back and tends to stick out more.

Astrotrain has come out over Europe as wave 2 so we may still get him if we ever get wave 2 in the UK. But at this rate they could end up stopping the line early and going onto the movie toys.

Have faith. He'll conveniently turn up in time for the Olympics.

I just hope the disruptions to the centre of London don't delay him by another five years

Yeah.... I went to TrU, all they had were classics I already have or dont want (legends, minicons), Cybs I already have (seriously, why is the UK flooded with Unicron and Skywarp?) or dont want, Primus is still full price, and they had TWO different kinds of 20th Prime... the movie aniversrry one (for EVEN MORE than 20th) and one solidary origanal 20th Prime, in a decidedly bashed box.

On a different note, anyubody where I can get Cyb Evac, CD Scattorshot, Dark Crumplezone or Scorponok? They are some of the few medium sized cyb tfs that I need.
