DAMN YUO, POST OFFICE!!! Why have they not delivered my Build Team? It's been nearly twenty four hours! They could have had someone drive it directly to me. In fact, why didn't they? Don't they know I'm more important than the other plebs who are waiting for stuff?

Yeah, I would say the obvious repaint (and hopefully remolding) would be Hound into Swindle and Ravage into Steeljaw.

I hope the postman has ice skates. The snow here is melting, and should freeze overnight into the world's biggest ice rink.

Any updates on what Argos are stocking? I might be trying to get into town tomorrow, just wondering if it's likely to be worth it.

For that matter, has Blades showed up at Argos? The only Voyagers I ever find are Blaster and... er... the cement mixer I regard as Mixmaster.

Yeah, saw it on TFW. Never ordered from them, as they never seemed to be any cheaper than buying from someone else. That struck me as pretty daft.

They did have a prize draw late last summer for painted non transforming resins of Supreme Prime, Leader Bulkhead and Deluxe Cybertron Megatron. Only problem was that aside from a few flyers at AA they didn't actually bother to, you know, tell anybody about it.

Doesn't look like it. I'll have a look tomorrow, but I'll count myself lucky if I can pick up Blades or Crossovers Iron Man.

It looks pretty good - I'd suggest useing low-res thumbnails for the images so they load up faster and you need to put a <BR> after the text of the henkei cyclonus bit on the news page and the stormbringer text on the comics page.

loading up (using low res thumbnails) aint a problem i only used this type of thumb nail, because i was familiar with the code, thanks for the <br/> hint

i've used quite a few of them, but i didn't wanna throw off the whole page with images going left, right and centre, so i kept it minimal, and jus made sure the html and css style sheet worked

thanks RP, will make changes next hand in

Lookin' good, Electron. Nothing to add to what RP said.

Build Team's arrived. SQUEE. :D Cracking set, even if it might take me a while to remember how to get each of the three Deluxes into their Landfill arm mode. Just out of curiosity, why'd you sell them, Electron Electron?

Argos had bugger all new that I could find. :-( But I picked up Alt Dead End and a spare Shockwave for a little light customising. :grin:

as you know i like my G1-G2, and there are few exceptions that i may purchase outside them lines, or lines orientated around the two main favourite lines

at the time i saw the build team as just a bargin, i had money and thort, mite aswell see if there any gud

seperately there nice figs, combined can't stand them, overall though they don't have any real place in my collection, and i used the money to pay for the ratbat/springer set

i also sold them pretty cheap because, i like the feelin of a fellow fan, who's wanted sed fig, to enjoy a figure, they mite not of got at such a gud price

sure i could of asked for more, but as long as i get wht i paid and correct postage, i'm happy

thanks for the website comment
