yeah i got it from kapow, its where i bought them all from, as for henkei prime, ive never seen him but i generally find the henkei worse looking than the classics (with the odd exception)

Did i miss something with the stamps thing, or am i just being thick after being up since 3am at work?

It was a Church Fair with quite a few big stalls selling nothing but Transformers (thousands of the little bleeders, new an old), a Bar, the Bumblebee, raffle prizes, TF related freebies and the odd nutter. (see: Waaaaaaaghlord)


And less religious people.




I'd definitely recommend going, although I'm still not sure about doing the full weekend myself.
The main reason for me going were the abundance and variety of TF's available to buy. Seeing/listening to Dan Gilvezan was pretty cool too and, if I had been in the right frame of mind, it would have been nice to chat with a few people I know online. (I'll hopefully make up for that next year!)

The rest of the guests didn't really interest me to be honest, although Furman was pretty good as a speaker.

Hopefully next year Hasbro will be a bit more involved and the planned kitbash thing sounds good.

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm no!

me two mini-cons arrived this morning so im about to have a lil play with them, cheers again.

As for AA, i fully intended to go, but the money situation wasnt wonderful at the time so i had to pull the plug. Started saving for next year already but resisting G1 omega and a 2nd official metroplex is very hard, without me wanting a scorponok and a trypticon lol
