    Hey folks, I just wanted to stop by and pick your brains.

    I recently bought something online from The Entertainer and it's unfortunately faulty.

    So I was wondering how they handle refunds when a voucher code is involved ?
    As if they are going to screw me over with a partial refund or try to charge me postage for a replacement I'd like to know.

    So I thought i'd ask if anyone has any experiences to share with buying online from them with regard to refunds - The only problem I had before was when they forgot to give me part of my order and I had to get on the phone to them to sweet talk them around into no screwing me over with charging me postage on the refund.

    Any relevent comments are appreciated.

    1) I can't believe Hasbro used Streetwise for Lightspeed instead of Wheeljack, especially with those vents on the bonnet. Was Wheeljack even redecoed?
    2) I really want the Hasbro Lightspeed o_O , anyone selling it?

    I don't know if its been mentioned before, but the entertainer currently has an £8 off orders over £30 deal online which lasts until Sunday midnight.

    I bought Tailgate, Battleslash and Roadtrap with it for a total of £25. Good deal IMO.

    They probably didn't want to do any remolding - Wheeljack would have needed a new head to turn him into Lightspeed (even Breakdown's). Not like Lightsteed looks much like Lightspeed anyway - I don't have him, but I think of Lightsteed as being his brother instead of being the same character.

    I ain't here to sugarcoat sh*t!
    Painting's like swimming, you gotta not be afraid of getting a bit wet. The Fear is the biggest hurdle, believe me I know 'cause I've felt it, and conversely the larger an area you have to paint, the easier it is!
    Worried about going wrong? Practice on a £1 KO from the poundshop, find out how whatever you choose to use behaves on a surface before you plough on ahead.
    I could write reams on what to do but theory's no good without practice, you got to do it, and in so doing it learn. Simples.
    But probably not what you want to hear.

    Good luck! :thumb  Don't forget your raincoat n' wellies!

    We both know you're right buddy, but it really is scary putting paint to plastic! I'll take your KO advice

    In other news, I've opened Prowl and he's gorgeous! I think I'll find a new project to start with

    It's exactly the same worry that I have since I was dumb enough to try Hun-Gurr (my love) torso mode last night.
    If I skip Predaking I can easily see myself doing just that actually. #Terror2018



    And yup, Baker contribution to those great early Marvel US issues is not to take slightly. He really did wonder with Johson work, elevate it even.
    Speaking of whom, there was a (small) Deadpool discussion here and yeah if there's one thing to read about Mr Random it's the Kyle Baker/David Lapham comic.

    Well ok then, David Wise night it is.



    Not that I'm complaining though <3
    Those two chatting is worth interrupting what I was doing (originally it was suppose to be a Lena Raine night)(so you've got one more day to play Celeste!)


    + This is a good opportunity to remind that DKC Tropical Freeze is honestly one of the best plateformer I ever played and now that it's coming on Switch more than 12 people will know it.

    Good luck my friend. We gave Buster his first bath yesterday; now he smells of dog with a hint of chamomile!

    Nice. Ah RID love. What got me back in to TF’s. Love this Ultra Magnus mould... and the fire truck Optimus. I have two of each so I can display them in both bot and vehicle mode... just need a third of each now so I can also have them combined as Omega Prime!

    In fairness I love the Dead End mould and all versions of it, and the Breakdown mould IS the weakest of all the combiner limbs...

    ...but every time I see that horrible pale grey used on CW Lightsteed I shudder. It just looks dirty. Conversely UW Lightspeed proves that with decent quality plastic and a nice deep red to rely on, even the Breakdown mould can be beautiful.
