It is indeed! :P

It's the last reissue I'm after. Then I can prepare for animated and universe.


One day I want to sell stuff in Carbomnya. I can call the thread 'Dealer's deals' or summat equally as kooky :lol:

I remember when i first saw inferno, the box booklet version i got it for £40, that was the biggest transformers regret of my life so far :sad: , i think i was overwelmed with nostalgia.

BTW im tempted to get skylynx, but more reli wanting omega supreme, but for £70 odd quid dunno if i can bite the bullet

I don't think you can Pot.
I've never liked Skylynx much, and £70 for Os is a bit much really.

lol, No prob pot prime.

I've had a few TF's i've bought on a whim which i kinda regretted like £70 for a takara S-16 reissue G1 megatron at the last auto assembly (2006 i think), was opened as well #-o still cool though.

I also wanna sell/trade stuff on carbombya but gotta sort out a selling account with paypal first. keep buying and selling on seperate accounts.

looking for a reissue Thundercracker myself, got starscream and skywarp just need TC (lol top Cat?) to complete the trio.

Hey folks - just landed myself 2 jobs today! Greedy me (one slightly meh temp and one choice permanent so takign the temp one until I start the perm one.)! So I made what'll probably be my last toy/poundshop visit for a long while.

Anyway Poundland have Dreadwind & Darkwing KO's in at the usual price - details on the Ko thread here viewtopic.php?f=4&t=57&start=1335

Anyone seen the Robot Heroes Decepticon Sneak Attack on shelves recently? It never appeared near me and I still quite fancy the Chibi-Skywarp!

Woohoo - today is a good day.

First piece of news (the less exciting one) is that I picked up Devastation 5, and while its not as good as I was hoping, there were a few things I didn't expect to happen which I liked.

Second piece of news (the more exciting one)........





Wait for it.......






The suspense is killing you I know.......











I went to Fenwicks and picked up Landmine. OMG he is brilliant, although his transformation is pretty simple, but there are some really cool poses you can get him into but I can't show you as I've left my camera wire in Bradford #-o .

All I will say is get him - get him now.

Oh, they also had Cliffjumper and Camshaft but I'll pick them up another day.

Oh and congrats on the jobs SC.

That's a fair point. Hmm, maybe I will make Beachcomber instead?

I have been making photoshop up as I go, somethings have worked ace, others somewhat less so. Still, it's fun to mess with :mrgreen:

I'm too broke and lazy to hunt for spercific toys, so I can give no advice, good luck with your search though. Someone here will know whereabouts to get hold of him.

ditto, i remember being in toys r us and picking both the cybertron metroplex and primus up, and then put them back because of the aggro the mother in law was giving me over it, man ive regretted that ever since (seeing as metroplex was only £25.99 at the time :sad: )
