You actually rely on British Television? Crazy foo'.

Here's part two! This episode is great. And I am first to have it on YT hahaha, and I will delete it in a few days too.

Yeah, I can never find the time to watch it on Youtube! :-(

Well, FanTransformers has uploaded it's copy of episode 19 to steal my thunder. =(

Since it seems to be back up to speed with it's uploading I won't bother next week, so I'll just post the torrent link and be done with it.

Anyhoo.

All three parts for anybody that's interested:
Part 1
Part 2

Legends hound is a new mold out this year, but the new mold deluxe Hound and ravage, Cyclonus probably won't be out till next year as they are part of the '25th anniversary'

So the 'big reveal' today for 25th anniversary is announcing a new mold armada hot shot. BFD, don't know or care about the character :-(

Hmm, got any pics / links for that Iron Man figure?

With Animated Skywarp, War Within Skywarp, and Universe Storm Cloud in the pipeline, I believe this years Botcon has been thoroughly pleasing even though I didn't go.

Not to mention getting an early pre-order in for the Magnus Armour. What possible reason could I have for being disgruntled now?

(Hasbro announces at SDCC that they lost the rights to the Skywarp name, have cancelled all his figures, and are taking down TFClub for copyright infringement.) :shock:

Nightmare?

I'm in the same boat as Vorath.

No credit card or debit card :-(

I've always just used cash, so I'm fooked.

He had better be worth $100, otherwise people will pay.

Believe me, you don't want to have a credit/debit card enabled for online purchases, or you just end up spending so much.

Take me, for example: I told myself that my G1 Magnus would be the last eBay purchase (and online purchase as well) for the next two months, but what do I go and do? I check eBay like usual for some bargains and before I know it I've put bids on G1 Galvatron, Superion, Grimlock, Rodmius Prime and the Jumpstarters #-o

Luckily I only won Galvatron, Grimlock and the Jumpstarters. Galvs is complete, working light and sound for a tenner, Grimlock comes with everything but missiles for £14 and the Jumpstarters are complete for 2.60

All pretty reasonable deals, but by the time everything adds up it ain't cheap...luckily Galvatron and the Jumpstarters are from the same seller so I get a minor shipping discount...hooray

I know what you mean.

The problem is, BBTS only takes preorders via credit card. (Which is stupid, considering you don't pay until the item comes out...)

News Credits: 1 · Mon Apr 28, 2008 4:34 am

And you know with that set unless you get it now you'll end up paying a silly ammount of money for it in the future :S

2,000 pieces...bah, they're gonna fly off the shelves (in a metaphorical sense). I'm glad I'm not even tempted for this one

News Credits: 6 · Mon Apr 28, 2008 4:42 am

The money isn't the issue.

I have $40 right now, and I can easily make up another $40 odd in the coming months.

I hate Americans and their retardedness. Might try asking my bro when he gets home. He usually comes through for me.

Is the armour a BBTS exclusive, or are other online shops carrying it as well?

News Credits: 6 · Mon Apr 28, 2008 4:54 am

Apparently TFsource are to stock it. But at the moment, that doesn't seem to be a reality.

I mean, surely the online retailers would all be allowed to put up preorder information at the same time?

News Credits: 2 · Mon Apr 28, 2008 6:05 am

Don't let it surprise you. It is common retail practice to get your preorders in for items ASAP. BBTS are smart and always seem to have theirs up before anyone else even if they end up getting the price wrong as was evident with the coronation set for MP Screamer.

You bought Jumpstarters?!?

With money??? :shock:

Not as part of some bizzare bet or something?

...you sir are sick. You need help.

^^ I just hope they don't run out of stock before this evening.

Bah, I hate being ill.
I can't eat a thing, and I keep throwing up

Hope I haven't missed my period

(Joke. Seriously. But summats gotta be funny in this post, right?)

Hopped aboard to say I just got Stockade at Wilkinson's. They also had Overcast and Jungle Bonecrusher, £5.99 each.

Edited for spelling-related dumbassery.

Which Wilkinson's? So far avoided Overcast but for that price I'd pick one up.

heres a thought, seeing as the henkei range is usually different to the hasbro classics, what are the odds of a new head for blaster???

I'd go with slim. Mostly so far they seem to be just repaints. A more Blasterish head would be good though.

That was me.

I was also going to say a remolded mini-con would be good but I think there's even less chance of that than a new head.

to be honest, id like a new head, but if i could change one thing on him, it would be to beef up his legs, or maybe take away his stupid wings lol

Most important weekend on the TF calendar and my interweb has been down, so I'm still playing catch up on all the Botcon news. Put in a preorder for City Commander and should be able to add another if anyone is struggling, PM me to work out details rather than cluttering up the thread but rest assured that I'm not looking to turn a profit. Missed Doctor Who on Saturday, so off to iplayer I go, in a bit.
