Alright Mr Smartypants

Who told you?
Anyway it was only the once, I was bored. Hasn't everyone tried it??

Oh, you said smartypants, not smartiepants...

[Sonray]

Two classics Starscreams just (finally) arrived in the post today, i can at last start on my classics Thundercracker projects. Im making one for myself and one to sell.

Two questions: what's Starscream like, and how much are you selling him for?

Classics Starscream is awesome, im actually surprised to talk to a TF fan that hasnt got one yet, he's like the quintessential classics toy to have. His alt mode is a bit disappointing when looking at him from underneath but his bot mode is totally G1 accurate and awesome with loads of pose ability.

As for how much i'll sell my TC for, i havnt decided on a price yet as i havnt even started on them yet. I base my prices on how much materials cost and how much labor i put into things so i cant tell you yet. I doubt it will be any less than £30 though, especially since it will look better than the Botcon version and is a custom figure.

[City Commander]

Absolutely nothing good to say.


My bro should be receiving botcon thrust, dirge and Thundercracker this week too. So I guess that's summat to look forward to.

[Insurgent]

Lugging alot of equipment up and down five floors of stairs and standing on a windswept roof in this weather for 4 hours doesn't half knack your back.


Still, Wreckage is done. Expect pics soon.

Do I even want to know what you're on about?

Stuff

Hmm, I already have Ramjet, and suddenly the idea of collecting all of the Seekers sounds intriguing. You must post pics when you are done

I love it when people quote other people and just put 'stuff' in the box

[Tangent]

I am thinkin about tryin another repaint, but dont know who. I'm poor atm so they will have to be a deluxe.

Any ideas?

[HugeBadWolf]

You could try a Movie Swindle,
He's in desperate need of at least an inkwash to bring out some of his bot mode detailing.
Did it myself and it's rewarding job.

Cheers,
Doug

I didn't realise you do custome jobs, too. Do you do a lot of them?

[HugeBadWolf]

A few paint touch-ups here and there,
Not as much now.
Used to butcher Zoids more than anything else, but they're a bit thin on the ground now

Cheers,

It is near enought to the time of purchase for me to show my link to the Railracer set. I didn't want to do it before because I fear someone rushing off and buying them all before I can get one

What do you think?

SOK is liscensed by Takara to seel tfs in Japan apparently.
Looks good, and it'll cost me £40 incl. insured airmail. So a damn fine deal.

[Robo-Chugster]

hmm first paycheck coming this friday and no plastic crack that i want...may have to settle for plastic boobs and get another anime figure, theres 3 i have my eye on but i cant decide what one to get...grrr...maybe you guys can help me choose (probably NSFW pics)

This for £20:

Hey guys, Wrekage pics are up. Let me know what you think.

Man, I think that looks much cooler. Makes me wish I could find one. Nice work fella.

They look VERY nice indeed, hmm I feel like buying 8 of these...nah just kidding I'm not that into the RID Autobots, but this looks like a great deal. You have my blessing son, now run along and buy these

What boobs to get?

Mate, you are going to hate me for this, but I think the 40 quid one is the best

[Robo-Chugster]

yeah, i really like that one...and the £20 one, guess ill have to see how much i get, havent had a p45 from my last place so ill get emergency taxed probably, plus i gotta get the bike serviced etc etc

[doomboy536]

God I hate chasing up P45s, they can be a right effort. And then if you do get one, more lovely forms and bureaucracy to get your tax back

I'm in a bit of a pickle at the moment, I can't really see any TFs I want. I'm not that into any of the Unicron Trilogy or Beast Wars etc, so any suggestions? Just throw 'em out there

How to put this without sounding rude? Sod it, I've been massively enjoying the Movie Scouts of late, there I said it. Seriously, Armorhide, Elita-1, Strongarm and Skyblast/Air Raid all rock. I know they're from lines you don't like but none of them really represent those lines and they are cool little figures. Armorhide was the only one I envisaged getting until I saw the others in 'person'. Something just clicked. The new colours help. I also freed Alt Prime earlier this evening (available in Argos) and it was a heck of a pleasant surprise, much better than I thought it would be. Of course I think of it as Ginrai, even though I gave him a proper Prime gun. He's damn imposing.

[City Commander]

Thanks for the blessing! Can't wait to buy one!




I agrre Mr O. Even if you aren't a fan of the AEC lines, the scouts are a must. So much coolness fitted into £6.99.

Alternators are well worth looking into. Then there are WST, MP, Titaniums and reissues as always. Essentially, the collectors lines.




Or there is always the Hybrid style convoys. They look fantastic.

Get the second one if you must, or hire a real prostitute?

[waaaaghlord]

Woohoo! After somehow not getting credit for the AA news that I was first poting on the site last week I've got my first front page credit with this.

Anyone need a Reprolabel set for G1 Darkwing, I ordered two by mistake??

[doomboy536]

Thanks for the advice all, I won't be going to town anytime soon as I have rather a lot of work on - two presentations to prepare and two 3,000 words essays for the 5th of December, plus a dissertation outline for two days time

[Supercollider]

Energon Tow-line (Ratchet)
