Oh well, looks like we get classics 2.0 in winter/autumn... oh well, better late than never I supppose. :D
Although to be fair, the main toy I want at the moment is Animated Cybertron Megs. Why does it have to look so cool and be so far away from reaching us? :sad:



Why are you so sure it's fall? :wink:
Let's be hopeful that the May date didn't fall through!


G1 Blitzwing looks rather fun, and grand in both alt modes.
If the price is right, I doubt you can go wrong.


See above post to answer for first question :wink:
Oh and in answer to yur optimism, it already has :twisted:

Damn its fun crushing people's dreams :grin:

Damn you Hasbro
*shakes fist angrily*

G1 Blitzwing is very cool - I picked him up at a car boot sale, and he's one of the best I've bought at a car boot.

The weather of course :p

Garr, I'm sad to hear that news, but also kinda happy. This means Universe figures will be my first collection at university!

I'd love an Mp Blaster. It would totally rock.

Well here in York (where snow has as much chance of falling as it does in hell) we have bright sunshine instead of the snow predicted on the weather last night.

Hehe - how long's your Blaster got?

Mid year? That's eons away! Oh well, I will/should have moneys by then.

Still got wind and hail here. :-( At least the power didnt actually die last night, that would have truly scupperd my plans.

GET G1 BLITZWING NOW DAMMIT!!!!!!

He is a truly brilliant figure. And I'm not just saying that because I've aquired a fetish for Triple Changers, he is a great figure in all modes, only has posability in his shoulders, but he's G1 so hey. His turret twizzles and can be disconected so he doesn't fly around with it on his underside in jet mode and did I mention he's a great figure? :grin:

What's this about MB gettin ginto trouble? For shame. For shame. If you want to beat the system about pics, just copy all of those little guys into 1 Paint file, save it (making sure it meets teh sig rules) and voila! 10 little guys in your sig in 1 pic. No one can complain.

BWAH HA HA HA!!!!!! :twisted:

It's heavy snow here and gale force winds. My driving lesson was cancelled, but as I have the day off, I don't mind cos I get to stay warm and dry and I get cassetticons on Monday. Giddity giddity!

If it's winter when Octane comes out, I (should) have a proper job then. :shock: Crap! That's a worrying thought! At least I should have cash for it. I've been rambling alot today. Ah well. I'll close with this:

GET G1 BLITZWING NOW DAMMIT!!!!!!

8) :lol: :twisted:

how do i upload the pic to the site though (i aint good with uploading and stuff)

yeah, someone thought MB was taking the piss outta the CC, but he wasnt really, and i assume one of them complained.

So Blitzwing is good then eh??? I only ever had one triple changer, and that was sandstorm, i loved him to bits though, he was AMAZING =P~

I can't compare Blitz to Sand as Blitz is the only G1 triple I have ever held. But he looks like he is supposed to in all modes with very minor kibble, the mould has been repainted into an E hobby one called Overcharge (proving the popularity of the mould) and he has a sword and rifle. Make sure he has at least 2 of his 3 missiles for his wings though, he looks daft with holes in his wings. Blitz has become one of my favs.

How did you upload the last sig? Anyhoo, save the paint file, create an account on somewhere like photobucket.com, then follow the instructions (i.e. click upload, select teh file, then paste the URL for the pic (located under the pic) into your sig space on your profile.)

I have both Sandstorm and Blitzwing. Both are good figures, and when in either Alt mode the other mode is very well disguised. I say make sure you have both.

It's lovely and sunny here. Still had that half day though!


Did you hear the news? Mkall has become HMW admin, and OS has left!

We sure do go through our programmers here, don't we? :P
