Happy Birthday @privatespoon and @glaug ! May your days be good ones!

Meanwhile, I've had Sixshot open a while, and he's a fun little guy, isn't he? I know the current mood is very Greatshot themed, but the original isn't exactly something to write off. Although I probably still wouldn't have paid £50 for him.

 

It's heartwarming reading that! I hope I can find a SO so enthusiastic about collecting like yours one day. We can share our stories and appreciate each others' collection better!

 

Yer a fucking gem! Bloody good work. I'd like this x15 if I could.

 

Today's deskbot was picked up from the post office on the way to work and as such won't be able to be fully appreciated until I get home tonight. Prime Grimwing...and his grappling hook handpuppet Blackbeak who is apparently a seperate character.

Blackbeak (Prime) - Transformers Wiki

 

Cheers guys!

I may be chuffed now, but give it a few months and I'll be moaning that my awful ball and chain has started pushing my transformers off the shelves to make way for Barbie's dreamhouse.  

In other news, the great race between G2 Ramjet and United Artfire is on:



Artfire may have just fallen at a customs hurdle...



Ramjet is trailing behind having just landed; will he breeze through Her Majesty's postal service and take the lead?

 

I have had something at customs clearance since Friday with no news yet!

 

In my experience that usually means I'm waiting for a letter asking for payment.

 

Because if they make them O/S and then make O/S with improvements, maybe people will buy twice?

 

I haven't bought any of the KO's of recent Hasbro products, but any form of improved Dinobots would be bought, OS or not!

 

@privatespoon,
Happy birthday and thanks for doing me a great deal on LG Ultra Magnus!

@Large,
Excellent description of Moonracer's alt mode....and possible enablement on more fembots due to your great pic  

@MyTea Boc,
Not a problem on the Die Hard quote, it's one of those movies I've seen so many times I often say the lines before they happen  

Very cool what you did for your wife btw, top work sir!

@Insurgent,
Hope your work situation can become less shitty soon!

@nice sideburns,
Buster looks lovely!

 

Like you scooped ip my mind words and put them in a warm love filled pie. Seconded

 

Hasbro mp grimlock without box or instructions, traded for tlk hot rod and bee (wave 3) with their boxes and paperwork. Good deal?

Thanks for the encouragement guys. Sometimes it just feels like I'm wasting my life in this place. And then i fall back into the old escapism ways of wanting new plastic crack. Ugh. At least I've got a junker armada prime cab sorted to use for his super mode on my shelf now.

 

An underrated mould right there.

I have the BH Darksteel version. A cracking, posable figure only let down by the lack of clips for his shoulders.

 

@privatespoon happy birthday!!

@Insurgent that sounds terrible. I'm feeling a bit crappy myself to be honest.

 

I would say most people have at least 60% of Die Hard dialogue committed to memory, and about 25% of Con Air's dialogue.  

Depending on how important packaging and the like are to you - I don't know if that is a good deal. MP-08 is to me the definitive Grimlock. I would be suspicous of the lack of paperwork and box for him though, a lot of KOs floating about.

You would know best yourself, but sometimes telling your superiors in work that you are unhappy can help. They might be able to lighten your workload if you've too much on, or if you are bored and want a new challenge see what they can offer. But again, depends on your organisation and the manager.

The only drawback of that figure!

 

I'm the grimlock selling side of that. Lol. He is genuine, i got him from tru in Swansea years ago during a business trip. Hes the first hasbro issueand has sword gun and crown. The boxes don't matter to me, but given the bee didn't get mass release here and hot rod is a asda exclusive, may keep them to sell on down the line.

I've told my manager, I've told hr. Nothing ever seems to be done unless your a favoured minion. Of which, i am not. I've been rather vocal for years. I've even developed a slight attitude when dealing with some because i know I'll just be ignored.

 

Been 3 days, and my payment is still pending on that phony looking Ebayer.
Guess I'll just order a KO Perfect Effect Menasor kit from China for the same price and more then likely get it :')

 

Sounds toxic man. I'd get out the first decent opportunity you get.

"You've got guns in your legs! How's that working out for you?"

 

I managed to pick up Hot Rod on eBay last week for £13 MIB. Didn't realize the wave 3 BB was that hard to come by.

By the sound of it, I'd follow the sage like advice of Barry and start looking for a new opportunity. Job security is great, but if it is grinding you down, you have to consider taking the risk.

Or his implied alternative advice of getting a few cannons installed in your shins.

 

Shout out to the Tuxedoest of Mikes, many happy returns @glaug!

I have thought about it but I worry about the potential durability or lack thereof of any posts I could fab up. I'll stick with a nice flat surface for 'em, it's a bugger to find wee tiddlywinks apparently they aren't the in thing. I suppose it's harder to choke on a fidget spinner!

My heart grew two sizes reading this (and not through any Congenital genetic defects)!
