    Ok, so be honest - is Perfect effect Jinrai worth the cost? And does he feel like he will break when transforming? Just debating PC-15 and 16, and I know I shouldn't after my recent 3rd party issues with FP Explorer!

    Ah, I reckon there won't be another run.

    I did a run of 25 that first year, followed by a small run of 8 and to be honest it was the subsequent run that put me in the red, (I lost money on that first calendar). Looking at my 2017 spreadsheet I did a single run of 60 for that calendar, but it was broken down into groups of 20, because I thought I'd only get 20 or so orders!

    Hmm. Looking at it that 2016 Calendar did make me money... (ooooooh, £7.15 BIG money) and I did sell my last one to DisCode along with the 2017 Calendar so actually that one was pure profit... a whole year on. BWAHAHAHA. Oh dear.

    Anyway, I really hate to say it but by their very fannish nature if you want one of these calendars you have to put your order in early so's I can include it in the print run. :( 

    But I'm glad they're arriving safely and I'm glad it's being well recieved. You've got a month and a half to crack that code! And honestly it's not that difficult, if you know what I'm like.

    I like order in my universe and thus the code is completely logical to me.

    TFW you find out via a random FB Group post that you missed a Shuffler restock at ID Toys.

    OK I know I'm probably breaking the rules by being a dumb ignorant yank posting here, but what is this snooker game you speak of?

    Snooker is grown up Pool.

    Seriously. It's a LOT harder. You use a cue to hit a white ball to hit coloured balls into pockets. But the different coloured balls are worth different points, and you have to pot a red, then a colour, then a red then a colour. So it's a lot more tactical than pool. Snooker tables are a LOT bigger too, Pool tables are around 7ft long but Snooker tables are almost 12ft long, making shots a LOT harder.

    It's a bit like pool, but with elaborate rules and on a table four times the size. And the pros wear waistcoats. Amazing game, though. A bit of a British institution. Quite popular in parts of Asia, too. I really do miss playing it.

    Bear in mind that some of these shots you'll might be wondering why it's a great shot when they didn't pot the ball, but for instance one of the shots (according to the rules) he HAS to hit the last remaining red on the table but because of its position it's a seemingly impossible shit.

    Typo. Eh, I'll go with it.
