No regrets, lovely stuff

Just a shame he is missing his sword but hopefully tfsexpress will sort it sharpish.

I blame @motorthing for this enablement

Oh man this guy is going to be my deskbot for a while

 

So TFN Haul Megapost time!

Fist off, the bots. I went with no list of wants. This was probably a mistake, as this happened

That Takara Ratchet was £12!!! Overlord is surprisingly awesome but the winner is Grinder (haven't opened MMC Whirl yet though). What an absolute beast of a figure. Wasn't sure if i wanted him as i've got MP Grimmy but my god, he is just brilliant.

Nick Roche Sketches. Got to see him finish off the Unicron sketch, which was awesome to see. He really is such a nice guy so chatty even after what could have been the busiest artist stall of the con. Gave him that mousemat i made of my recreation of LSOTW 5 too

A signed copy of Stuart Webbs new book. Pick it up if you like the UK comic, he's doing great work on this project.

Postcard print from the wonderfull Inkybauds/Graham


And last but not least. I brought this along.

The reaction to it actually blew my mind. Seriously humbled by the the kind words that were said in my direction  

May need to see about making more  

Finally worked up the courage to show Furman and Senior it on sunday and their reaction just blew me away even further. Seeing Simon Furman call over Bob Budiansky to show him something i'd made, there are no words, really there aren't  

They even signed it

Stupidly i didn't ask Bob to sign it, but hey, he saw it and loved it so it's all good  

 

Opposite was A1 Toys, which didn't have lots to offer I think, same as everyone else. Someone brought the Captain America shield though.
Next to them All the Cool Stuff. A good example of how it pays to browse as A1 right next to them had some stuff £5 cheaper.
Then I think the one you mean was ToyFu? But now thinking more i am wrong.
I heard some stores couldn't make it. Someone from Singapore.

It was another case of all the same stuff from the website at no cheaper prices which was a shame. There's some good stuff to be found but so much old Titans Returns all over.
Some retailer's held things for the con only. Like the last RID wave, more twin twist and misfire, splitting waves for single sale.
Annoyed I missed Ramhorn and even Seaspray as I didn't look properly. Didn't even bother with Trypticon as it was no cheaper. I may as well just have it delivered to home but they flew out the door!

I do wish they had some older 3p there also but hard to bring it all. I liked seeing the GI Joe exclusive stuff there. Tempting. I still didn't even bother picking up any of the tons of movie stuff ID Toys brought. Barricade was still over £20.
Still I brought many things that are terrible value for money but it had to be done! Lol
Big thanks to all the retailer's for their hard work and attending  

 

I always was hovering around the toy fu stall, usually get the best stuff there, I think I spent £180 of my £320 spend on that stall. All for a good cause. Also helped Nottingham Robot Company with their prize draw, was shocked by the stuff that was in the mystery box was a right treasure trove.

 

Haha. I was constantly moving so we probably passed several times. Next year we'll have to catch up  

 

I keep telling this guy not to touch - just won't listen either.

 

Spring spam incoming, can't get enough of him. Borrowed clouds buster sword while tfs express get my replacement to me.

 

Bot 2 from my 'In Canada During TFN' haul!

 

To be honest, the only lens I have is just the one in my camera. The zoom is really fantastic for far away shots like my moon pictures and the autofocus is really great for up close objects.

 

I decided to give Fans Toys Seaspray a shot so that should be with me in a couple of days  

Discovered via a friend's Facebook message that figurines of the Dr Who Mr Men are being produced. It's been a while since I added a new Fourth Doctor to my collection and he's one of the initial releases  

 

Happy Birthday @Genetic - hope you have a great day.

So good to see all the TFN hauls and good vibes. It was a brilliant weekend and hoping to meet more of you/spend more time drinking with you all next year!!

 

@Genetic: happy birthday Morg! Enjoy!

 

wait... it's @Genetic 's birthday?

have a good one!

 

I see TRU and Smyths have got TR Trypticon in. Box looks really nice in person.

Got bored this week so have started collecting again anyway after a two year hiatus. What I miss.......where did masterforce go?

Picked up TR Sixshot and Skyshadow from FP and ordered an Overlord + SDCC Maximus from Kapow.

If only I could find a TR Powermaster Prime in-stock somewere. Edit, found a Super Ginrai version so that will do.

 

What do you think to all the PE related Prime stuff?

Happy Birthday @Genetic

Thew's panel is up.

 

You could buy one of our own
@banjoted ,s?

 

Was looking through some of the old pictures I really liked, updated with the new logo and shared it on Twitter and now here.

 

Happy Birthday @Genetic

"Gentlemen, you know how this works, you've all seen the film......There Can Be Only One....yadda yadda so...........FIGHT!!!"

 

Hm, what do we think everyone? I was disappointed by Bludgeon's arms just hanging off the back in his alt mode, exposed hands and all. A big surprise since the original use of the mould in Megatronus turns the arms into the main cannon. I've Frankensteined the two together but I'm not yet sure about the colours. Opinions?

 

Well, dagnabbit, so much for snatching up TR Wave 5 in one fell swoop on Payday! Turns out a Kapow restock is unlikely and ID Toys only got Windblades left so it looks like muggins here will have to do the rubbish 'W' word and...
*Urgh*
Wait.
Rassum frassum.
Current mood with self:  

Fings crossed they go live on Smyths site, and don't just disappear like Sixshot!
