Yes, Yes I do. York is where Terry's grew up (and was a presence in our city for about 120 years), so when they deserted us completely it was like they were betraying their history - hence the fact that a lot of people in York wont buy Terry's stuff. Which also means people who do buy Terry's chocolate in York are less respected. Kind of like someone crossing a picket line to go to work.

If anyone ever bought me a chocolate orange as a present I would have to give it back. Must stay strong.

I really do have one.

It is white with green and blue decals. It isn't here though, it lives at my parents' because I have no place to store it.

Mon Feb 11, 2008 6:15 pm

York sounds, rather strange... But that does make sence. Here we just like pies, and mint balls

Aww Tekka, you have all the fun, how much did it cost? Is it as fun as they look? What kind is it? Tell me! Tell me!!

D'oh I'm not sure what model it is. I'd have to call my dad and ask him.

But yes it is very fun, and also dangerous! I didn't get any injuries personally, but my dad broke his leg coming off it. =( Though it was quite funny seeing him hobble around in crutches for a while.

That just makes me want one more! :shock:

I would need a new wetsuit as well, and maybe even my own trailer for it. It could just travel in the back of my boat otherwise.

Gah, see? Things like this are why I don't trust myself with Ebay!

Woman

Screw jet skiis, I want a helicopter! =P~

Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:43 am

My old next door neighbors had a helicopter, god, they could not drive that thing, almost crashed it into us about 4 times, idiots.

I still want one myself mind :mrgreen:

Jet Ski's are cheaper though, and I could race the boat...

Tangent, are the neighbours the King and Queen of England?????? lol Man you live in a rich area lol.

MY BLASTER CAME THIS MORNING WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. My mobile cant upload photo's to the net, ive been trying all morning, so ill describe him best i can:

He's about the same size as G1 Metroplex, maybe 1cm smaller. He's very very light, and quite thin. His head is a little out of proportion (which i REALLY dont give a **** about lol) hes really quite posable, would be a lot better with elbow joints, and his transformation is REALLY simple.

Good buy for £50 imo

That'll be me soon Tan 8-}

I'm glad he came okay Pot. I loves Blaster, I hope he gets the Classics and/or masterpiece treatment.

Tue Feb 12, 2008 5:06 am

It's not that nice...

We can have chopper fights D! :mrgreen:

Best idea I have ever had? I think so!

Yay for getting Blaster! A Classics update would be ace too.

Tue Feb 12, 2008 5:12 am

Ever since I read Spotlight: Blaster I wanted a new figure of him. Bad. Classics would be a dream come true but since he'd be a boombox it's out of the question for Hasbro to put him with newer designs of the Universe Classic alt modes.

Sad really.

Tue Feb 12, 2008 5:16 am

you'd think blaster would have been a better choice for the mp3 player, reason being, he was a boombox, soundwave was only personal cassette thing. btw, choclate orange is ok, prefer maltesers.

Have you guys read the other spotlights? Ive now read Hot Rod, Soundwave, Blaster, Kup, Ramjet, Nightbeat, Ultra Magnus and Six Shot. who am i missing still? Really impressed with Hot Rods Soundwave and Blasters, the others were ok, Kup's sucked a little bit though

I've read all the spotlights Pot. I think all you're missing is Optimus, Galvatron and Shockwave.

I liked Ramjet's, Blaster's and Soundwave's the most. I'm not really a big fan of Kup's either - I think it must have been the art style that put me off it a little.

Tue Feb 12, 2008 5:51 am

oops, i forgot, ive read shockwaves, it has the dinobots in dont it. Prime's and Glavatrons ill start the hunt for then. So are we assuming Galvatron is going to come into the devastation series then? Or has he already, i still aint read the trilogy. (the missus put them somewhere when they came and i cant find the damn things lol)

Well good look with the hunt Pot - It might be difficult cos they were very popular simply because of who the spotlight focussed on. I got my Galvatron one on the day it came out. It was the last one and they didn't get any more in.

Galvatron has already appeared (briefly) in Devastation 3 or 4 - I don't remember which. But I'm beginning to doubt whether he is actually going to appear properly until the next arc.

Tue Feb 12, 2008 5:58 am

they are starting to do collectors ed's of the Spotlights, and ive seen one with prime and galvatron in i think, ill have to go check. so the storyline is going to continue after dev??

Yeah, they're doing TPBs of the spotlights (they come in collections of 6 so after Arcee there should be a new TPB with Kup, Galvie, Prime, Ramjet, Blaster and Arcee)

Yeah, the story is gonna continue after Dev - I know part of it is called Revelation but I don't think that's the next arc (I think I recall SF saying that in one of his blogs)

Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:23 am

cool (so arc means set of books ie infiltration then yeah?) Did they say how long it would run?

Spot on with the definition Pot ;)^

They didn't say exactly how long it was gonna run - but I read somewhere (either here or on the IDW forums) that there will be at least 5 arcs (so 2 more to come).

Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:59 am

woot! Which means a hell of a lot more spotlights too. There Spotlight V2 on sale on Amazon which contains Prime Galvatron Kup and soundwave for £8. Is that worth buying do you think?

Well its certainly cheaper than buying all the spotlights separately, but you might kick yourself if they do bring out another TPB where they remove Soundwave and add Ramjet, Blaster and Arcee. Personally, I prefer the separate comics but for a TPB I would wait until Arcee has come out, just incase they do bring out a new one.

Tue Feb 12, 2008 7:10 am

once dev is finished ill start buying seperate, but im trying to catch up with the stories. I only have the one spotlight, and i was going to buy arcee, but if they are going to release that, i may have to wait and pick that one up. I think Hot Rod's was good, ill deffinately be looking out for that in a collection. You'd think they'd put him in one with Kup, Magnus Arcee etc all being from the same kinda background.
