I haven't bought a TF in over a week now. I think I'm getting withdrawl symptoms.

Been meaning to do this for a while. Couple of shots of my Revoltechs with links to the photos underneath for ease of getting round the forum hacking the edge off:

Revoltechs are so cool. I hope they do a Skywarp repaint, even a limited one would be fine.

My only niggle with Megatron is how few accessories he comes with. The other two came with a stand, a slew of hands and accessories. Megs comes with five hands and a spare head. The pistol from TFTM and his mace from MTMTE would have been nice.

Ooh, offers on at Argos again. Anyone know when they should have Universe Blades, Sideswipe, etc in?

Picked up Premium Ironhide for a princely £16 shipped from the entertainer website, since there are no entertainer stores near me here...

Money's bad, so TFA Jazz and the next load of tfs will have to wait a bit.

Is Premium Ironhide an Entertainer exclusive over here? I'd heard mention of somebody over at the AA boards grabbing it recently but they didn't mention where. Also is anybody carrying the Premium versions of Megatron (leader) and Blackout?

Also just remembered that I've got an extra Animated Prowl lying around missing his head (will be Hot Rod's head atop an Ani Jazz body when I get around to finising it) and throwing stars (currently 'borrowed' by the Prowl on my shelf so that he can have both hubcaps and weapons in robot mode). Since he can 'borrow' his weapons back if needs be I only need to figure out a head that'd fit and he'd be a fairly easy repaint to help swell the outnumbered ranks on my Ani Con shelf. Banzaitron is imediately striking me as a candidate to get the Animated treatment. Anybody got any other suggestions on who'd suit the mould or ideas on a good head in an Ani style that'd be fit for purpose (if I end up with another headless body that'll probably be the basis for the next random bash)?

I've learnt the error of my ways.

I've figured a fool proof plan for getting drunk on £15 :P

Which judging by shopping will involve getting drunk on vodka and goat's milk. :|

Pretty much. I factored in £5 for the inevitable takeaway :P

Plus there's always that special smoke that really helps things along...

Nobody has any freaking Deluxes anymore. They're sold out everywhere and all I can find is freaking Voyager Bulkhead and Leader Bulkhead.

Sigh.

So bored, Fallout 3 didn't entertain me for as long as I'd hoped, and the ending sucked. =(

I've never actually tried goats milk... It bothers me because it's from goats... For some reason I'm okay with cows though.

I also like cheese, preferably melted hard cheese.

Cheesecake is also good. Even though some of them do not contain cheese or even actual cake which is soo misleading. Trading standards should be all over cheesecake manufacturers for this fallacy.

I have no Transformer sightings to report. And what's up with the availability of Robot Heroes? I can't find the new packs for sale anywhere, even eBay and online stores don't have them. And my Frenzy/Arcee pack still hasn't shipped. Where are they? Where are my Robot Heroes?

Combining cheesecake and Transformers would be a good idea. I could buy a figure, put it on display, and then when I get bored with it, I could eat it.

Masterpiece Grimlock Cheesecake.

Got to be very careful when Transforming him, to make sure an arm or a leg doesn't end up in your mouth.

Shitsureina... Not a good idea indeed. I'll show you. I'll conquer the world with my Cheesecake Transformers and breadless Pizza.

If HMW tournaments were actually fun I'd be interested. After taking two days off from the game and coming back it's like... Yeah this isn't fun anymore. I should have just accepted my defeat graciously, ne?

Ah well. Heat of the moment and all that.

Anyhoo.

Oh I found some Robot Heroes on Ebay. But the seller wants me to pay £20 per pack. To which I respond with the middle finger.
