We had that sale here a few weeks ago in one of the stores, right now in the other one. Totally forgot to mention it and now I find out it appears to be staggered somewhat, even between shops in the same town. Weird.

I knew I'd be getting him befor I even saw him, a little dissapointed with his size but I suppose it could be for the best - fit better with the classics line and the dynobots -animated and any future universe they may bring out

Woop woop - sightings people!

Visited ASDA today and found the walmart movie exclusives Big Daddy, Breakaway, Divebomb and Grindcore. Picked up Big Daddy because I think he fits in pretty well with the classics figs, and I've got to say I'm pretty pleased with him. Also went to Leeds Forbidden Planet earlier this week and picked up Universe Bluestreak - can't make my mind up whether I prefer his or Prowl's colour scheme - and would have liked a Sideswipe but they didn't have any. Finally - it was my birthday last week, and I got Henkei Powerglide who is AWESOME in red and Henkei Thundercracker who has the same problems that most seem to have (except its only his rind hand launcher that falls out of the peg hole)

Yeah, just got back from Morley ASDA, saw that exclusives, except they didn't have Grindcore but had fracture instead. Nearly picked up Breakaway as I like the look of the mold (don't own it yet) but we had to run as Mrs Collider suddenly fell ill.

Happy belated birthday jazzrules!

Hmm - I like the look of Fracture and would have picked one up if they'd had her (I seem to think it is a fembot for some reason).

Indeed, Happy Birthday Junior!
We here at Hull raise our rum to ye!




Nothing new today. Tf wise anyways.

Did get a nice new moleskin jacket and scarf, a new set of ernie balls, and my metal muff turned up!


Did see TFA Jazz in TRU, but didn't have any cash on me. So I had to pass this time =(


Also saw Quantum of Solace, which I think is a pretty good film.
However, I may need to watch it again to make sense of it properly. :P

Got City Commander yesterday curtacy of Waaaaghlord. Great piece shame it is not something Hasbro could have done but really makes Ultra Magnus look good.

Thanks Waaaaghlord.

How big is MP Grimlock compared to the rest? Would have thought he would be the same as Prime.

Happy belated B'day JR.

Never heard of that particular character - so I don't think that's what put the idea into my head.

I also went to see James Bond last night. It has good parts but I felt it was a little bit thin in the story development department. Nowhere near as good as the critics made it out to be though.

I do have good will, I just choose to ignore it :P



This may or may not be my last name change. I'm feeling pretty comfortable with this one. For the moment at least :P


My city commander set is currently sitting in my room at home. So I shall have something nice to look forward to when the semester ends in a few weeks time...


Any sign of the WWI tits around these parts?
Must get me a set!
