A purchase that you will not regret. I love my clear Magnus more than it's healthy for a grown man to love a toy and the X-Dimension Bumble is a wonderful little bonus piece. You should be paying around the £70-80 mark for that set, any higher and you'll be able to find a cheaper one a little way down the line. Never had quite the same level of popularity as the similarly themed and equally limited God Fire Convoy set.

Redimus, I'm a porter, which primarily means I get to collect and move trolleys around the carpark. We're also expected to help customers when needed, such as helping them pack bags into cars or getting wheelchairs for those who need them.

Im thinking of going there next year! Its ment to be one of the best right? I dunno what course I want to do yet though.

Also, dont Postal Strikes suck? I have loads off ebay and amazon that should be devlivered by tomorrow, but nooooo.

Yer damn right postal strikes suck, i have a trade to fulfil on the Carbombya forum and can't get Alt Wheeljack posted to Tinglingsensation, plus i am eagerly (and when i say that, sitting perched on the roof waiting to jump on the postman) awaiting the arrival of Superlink Laserwave, Shockfleet and Megazarak (misb's).

Also, yes, the Glasgow School of Art is one of the best art universities in Britain, world renowned. However quite difficult to get into but then again so was Cumbria Insitute of the Arts (Carlisle) and i got in there (so you'll get in no problem then matey) . Sometimes things just go pear-shaped but i shall bounce back.

I'v switched sides, I love my postman now, I just got Classics Rodimus and a ton of old style sci fi books to read

Do you need an Art foundation course to get into Glasgow? If so im sorted, if I last all this year that is.

Even badly timed Postal srikes cannot damage Tangents good mood!

What would you say if I told you you had AIDs?

Nothing my end. Waiting fer the effin post service to get their act together, and get a reply from Dough-bot saying the postal order made it to him safe and sound.

I'm wonderin whether I should try for a Christmas temping position this year. I could do with some extra cash for tfs, but I don't know if I could be bothered with the work...

My dear mate just found his first car! He's going to see it this afternoon, and hopefully purchase it!

Finally, proper, scheduled band gatherings can resume! :grin:

hehehe

Stick around, more ODB guy comin up after these messages

As a side note, I am probably the healthiest person this side of the casbah (says the guy with a cold he has no idea where it can from

)

Again, Iron man remember

You are indeed wise DB. I'm glad it made it there safely. Could you read me terrible handwriting? :lol:

And it seems the movie drought is over. The tfs are in full-flood!
I'll get Long arm, Dropkick and Arcee for crimbo. Maybe.

I can now confirm all my M&S arrivals. The Classics dvd 2pack and movie deluxe Barricade and Brawl are here, and look spiffing in their boxes.

Sadly, only the deluxe Prime is mine

Ah well, I'll just play with em when me bro ain't here! :grin:

A long ass f**kin' time ago,
In a town called Kickapoo,
There lived a humble family
Religious through and through.
But yeah there was a black sheep,
And he knew just what to do.
His name was young J.B.
And he refused to step in-line.
A vision he did see of
F**kin' rockin' all the time.
He wrote a tasty jam
And all the planets did align.

Oh the dragons balls were blazin'
As I stepped into his cave.
Then I sliced his f**kin' cockles,
With a long and shiney blade!
'Twas I who f**ked the dragon,
F**ka lie sing f**k a loo!
And if you try to f**k with me,
Then I shall f**k you too!
Gotta get it on in the party zone!
I gots to shoot a load in the party zone!
Gotta lick a toad in the party zone!
Gotta suck a chode in the party zone!

Ah, The Pick of Destiny is hilarious :lol:

I had asked him if he'd like some speed holes, and promptly told me that if he ever saw me with a sharp object he'd shoot me down with a harpoon

Maybe a wicked ass paper-mache spoiler will do the trick?

And wow, that's a lot of Primes DB!

When it's all arranged, collection pictures maybe?

I love to brood over how other guys and gals have tfs I've always wanted but could never find :lol:

I've been there!

Only lasted two weeks part time tho.
Remember, they're not mountain bikes, they're mountain style bikes :-?

Gaaar,

Dear me HBW, I'd expect you to know better than to host monkey knife fights in carparks :lol:

Well, I went through our toy aisle in the store while running an errand, and what did I see?

Final Battle Jazz. Seems its not just the local TRU getting him in.

Didn't get him. I'd left my wallet at home and can't really afford him at the moment.

News Credits: 6 · Sat Oct 06, 2007 2:42 pm

Apparently me mother went into Woolies in Walsall today.

She found Longarm and the scouts. And maybe a few others. But she can't really remember what ones she saw, so I'm going to have her point at the ones she saw out of a page of movie toy pictures.

I'm happy now. just won this on ebay! its only costin me £8.10 including postage!

News Credits: 1 · Sat Oct 06, 2007 5:08 pm

Interesting news, Morrisons of all places has season oneof Beast Machines for £7.99. I think it must have been re-released as a moneygrabbing atempt to latch on to the movie, as the tag line on the outer and iner boxes and the dvds is 'thier world, a new war'.

Also I noticed my Morrisons still has the first three dvds (first nine eps) of RiD available, cant rmember the price, but dirt cheap it was when I bought it over a year ago.

Sat Oct 06, 2007 5:24 pm

finally saw some movie deluxes in TRU, first time ive seen them in my local TRU, had FB Jazz and one of the pickups, cant remember if it was Longarm or Dropkick, still had about a dozen Cla. Starscreams though

Good price though he will need a whorin' a lot of work done to deal with that yellowing! But Metroplex is worth it!

Sat Oct 06, 2007 7:38 pm

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but it seems a lot of my local Entertainers (surrey/sussex area) are quite flush with Movie Arcee figures.

£10 has to be better than £30-40 online right?

Right?

Blimey, nice one! There's a lot of bits missing, but you've got the bulk of it, so you're well on the way!

Any chance you're gonna try articulating him? /:)
