United Kingdom Transformers sightings
Cheers for the update on what's gone on.
Moving on - I'm struggling to get motivated to go to TRU - last time I was there I couldn't get at the TRU re-issues as a brat had decided to wreck havoc on the Transformer display. Personally I reckon the kid was working for Ban Dai!

AK has repeatedly rilled up against Ryan over the camara thing, firstly in the Request Thread, then later in the thank you thread. And each time Ryan replied pretty well to his complaints. But If it were my site, and I had one guy constantly whinging on about one issue, I'd get pretty fed up too, especilly since AK used to be one of Ryan's biggest champions... (It was allso PAINFULLY obvious that this wasnt the real issue, and AK was just using it to get a confrontation from what I read in the two threads.)
Does 2 threads really count as constantly?
I dont mean board wide constantly, but he did go on more than was totally neccersary when it was obvious Ryan had read and replied to his concerns (and that the majority of the users werent at all bothered).
And as I have already said, it looked (at least to me) that this wasnt the real issue, and the writing was on the wall for AK's time here anyway. Heck, his sudden lack of action here since xmas has shown that he wasnt happy here anymore.High Command wrote:Redimus' Ego +1 wrote:Anyway, to to more plesent things...
I was gonna go to Argos to see if they finally had some Titainiums.... But I couldnt be bothered.
Since you're on teh intarweb why not check if they have any stock here? You can check if your local store has any in stock at the moment and reserve one right away if they do.
I actully feel quite retarded for not thinking of that myself, lol.
EDIT: well f**k me, who would have though it, not a titiainium for bloody miles... Argos, you utterly SUCK.
Agreed. Grim was so fed up with waiting for Ravage to arrive at his store that he had me pick one up from my argos and post it to him.

Oh yeah? What do you do? Individual figures or army painting? I'm an army painter. Working on a new Eldar army at the mo.

I have absolutely no tactical ability so I paint rather than game. So far I've painted up the new Chaplain Terminator, the Chaplain with Jump Pack, some Black Templar troops, a few Howling Banshees and a Chaos Terminator Lord. The Chaos Lord came 4th out of a painting competition in the Epsom store last week

Painting the bone armour on the Howling Banshees is a bloody nightmare though!
The only TF figure I'm contemplating at the moment is MP Megs - I think that I might be able to get him for less that £60...

Just a quick Q,
Can anyone recommend a decent online comic store?
Seem to remember that there's on ein the UK that was talked about before the boards got respawned...
Looking to get a few of the recent TPBs.
Cheers,
Doug

I;m going to have to pull out of that deal now, as I'm getting one with somebody else who's going to order 2 of them.

I think people are saying the seller toyspark on ebay is fairly good and cheap - other than that for websites xybertoys.com at £72.90 delivered is the best i've seen.

Hey, I'm sure it's a temporary mistake but toyzandgamez.com has classics astrotrain on pre-order for 99p - the question is will he honour orders made at that price?

i dunno, but xybertoys is very odd about the payments it accepts.
But 72.90 is pretty good for MP-05

I'm talking to a friend who occassionally imports figures to see what price he's asking for. So far it looks to be around £70.

I think this is the toy that money will be no object for. If i have to, ill fly there and pick it up myself, but i dont plan to waste money on it for the hell of it...
Ive seen it on eBay for £30 with £30 postage from China, is it worth the risk to get it from them if its under £70?

Sounds like a similar deal to the kinda deal I had on MP SS, and he arived in good order, though he arrived a little after most other peep's SS's arived.
JFUK, is ther any chance you might be able to get that guy to import another one?
EDIT:
United are through, yey!
Shame Arsenal had to ruin everything by not making it 4 out of 4 English clubs in the last 8... grr

Of the 4 teams, I obviously prefere United (I suport em and all). After them I dont mind Arsenal, I enjoyed the rivalry between Arsenal and Utd a lot more than that between Chelsea and Utd. Liverpool are a very boring and arrogant team, and I hated Chelsea LOOOONG before they found an idiotic Russian with some money...

Let me speak to him as I need to confirm if I'm getting one first. I know that he does the occassional import so I'll check prices and whether he's accepting any more orders and get back to you asap.
