Do you really want all your PP purchases going on a credit card though?

It's OK if ya pay it off each month, but speaking from (bad) experience, it's far too easy to let it build up and then start paying the extortionate interest rate.

IMO you would be better off funding it directly from your bank account. It's also better for the person receiving the money, as they don't get charges if it's sent as a personal payment. (This definitely is the case, as I paid Mr Waaaaaaaaaaaaglord for my Silver/Bluestreak this way and we didn't get hit with any charges)

hmm ur probs rite, but as i have both set up to my account will, they take it out of my account or my card?

News Credits: 1 · Fri Oct 24, 2008 5:37 pm

Is it linked to your bank account or bank card?

News Credits: 1 · Fri Oct 24, 2008 5:41 pm

If it's your bank account, then I think it takes it from there first, and if there isn't enough in the account to pay, they will use the credit card.
I have mine linked to the account and as back up the card to that account. But I can't remember if there is an option somewhere to change this, or if it's automatically done that way.

Edit: If it's to your bank card and credit card then I think you choose which card you want to use first in your account options. (The option regarding which you want as the Primary card.)

Silverstreak has arrived. Cheers Mr Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghlord!

Definitely recommend him. His colour scheme suits the mold much better than Prowls IMO.

News Credits: 7 · Sat Oct 25, 2008 7:57 am

Cool, glad you like him. He also bears the waaaaghlord seal of aproval.

You could ask Santa.

Other than that, I think you will struggle to get 'em at that price.

Got it, or I could start praying... although I imagine I'd have more luck with Santa :wink:

Finally! Argos had Activators Starscream in. Definitely lives up to the hype. Universe Blaster... meh. Not terrible, but not fantastic. Arm kibble is probably the worst part. As with most of the Cybertron repaints, I really wish they'd done away with the Cyber keys. But I'll be keeping him. I've bought worse.

Yeah, the activators are pretty cool for their size/price. Got BB, SS, and Bulkhead myself so far. Bought when they had the 25% off, so under £4 each.
Bargain.

Might pick up Blaster, if I see him at the right price. It's not a bad mold, but I've got Soundwave already so he's not near the top of my list though.

News Credits: 8 · Sat Oct 25, 2008 12:53 pm

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww animated, then u had to make me sick by adding, activators? like the crappyist things ever?

btw i was gonna get blaster at wollies for 13.98 i think, but all they had was quickmix guy

News Credits: 5 · Sat Oct 25, 2008 1:11 pm

You're really missing out by not liking Animated. Activators Starscream is such a sweet little figure.

Ok, Blaster. Got him from Argos for £15.99. Jet mode is pretty good, although the back end is a bit kibbly. Looks like folded up robot parts, because it is. Transformation back and forth is a little awkward. Using the key to open the chest panel is just silly. The robot mode is well articulated, but the leg joints are pretty stiff, and I'll probably do the same mod as I did to Powerglide to make him a bit more posable. The weapons are nicely done, although because of a peg needed for jet mode on his right arm, he can't hold the double-barreled rifle in that hand. Arm posability is fine, but slightly impeded by kibble under each arm.

Blockrock is nice, although I prefer to think of his alt mode as being a data storage module rather than a bomb. There are holes on the end of Blaster's wings and a peg on Blockrock so he can perch on the tip of either wing.

Overall: I like him a bit more than I expected. He's not great, but he's not terrible. I hope we get a new mold for Blaster somewhere down the line, but this one ain't bad.

ok sold if i see him, that deal at argos still on? yeh i was hopin for a new head, animated wise only blurr, omega and possibley samuri prowl may make it into my collection, jus cause he looks like he would make a good bludgeon
