    I would, but as you can see:

    ...they were all massacred by Predacons! :( 

    Thank you very much indeed! I thought of you when buying that Generations Hoist, this new one is pretty good (or was, until the monsters got him! :)  ) but he's still not as good as the one you sent me!

    I agree, you'd want your friends and allies to know (like you'd want your doctor to know your medical history), but your enemies you'd want kept as far in the dark as possible (unless your strengths were that you were possessed of untiring and merciless ferocity and a giant flame sword that fights by itself, in which case you'd probably want to spread it....!)

    Obviously shields and other protections take energy to activate and maintain, plus they're probably a bit wearing, so you wouldn't want to use them all the time. And they probably make a buzzing noise, interfere with the telephone, and attract small pieces of paper. :)  And operating them during transformation could probably cause all kinds of interference and other trouble...



    In other news, I emailed Red Leader and he was super-helpful; he cancelled my open pre-order and refunded the dosh (so whatever ate the Bovii won't get MP Bluestreak and MMC Fortis as a dessert course) and discovered that somebody called "Chester" had signed for my second Bovis on the 25th of October, so I will be getting my spies onto that as soon as I can on Monday (and inventing tortures for this "Chester" if he's had it away with my plastic crack! :)  )

    Also he's going to see if he can find out who signed for the first Bovis, so maybe I'll be able to track them both down (and send one back).

    So, Kapow rock once again and once I get back to the UK I expect they'll have a lot more custom from me! :)

    Generations Metroplex is amazing...

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but it is just fantastic. Robot mode is the most impressive, city mode is good also. The other mode... Well the wife described it is metroplex just sitting down!

    Congratulations man, easily the best store in London, it's my only sure-thing destination when I'm in the area.

    And yeah, the new DC is hard work, but I've honestly thought they're entire output has been shit since 2006 (post Infinite Crisis) other than a few gems here and there. Shame they pretty much killed Vertigo, they used to make some awesome comics but since Scalped wrapped up and Constantine: The DC Comic happened, I'm pretty much out.

    Omegalock dispatched my MP Prowl, now I need to sacrifice my first bought TF to appease the QC gods.

    Also going to grab a Lambor mould KO, just not sure which one yet though.

    Just went out looking at potential prezzies for the little fella for xmas. Solihull TRU, still plenty of sounders and acid storms.

    They had got Metroplex in there as well - the sheer size of him makes him interesting, and almost tempting, but I cant justify £125 on him when Ive already got MP11 and MP08 re-issues on the way.

    Im looking forward to smokescreen and then fingers crossed we get some bee/Jack/magnus pictures!

    Than I'm sorry, but you can't be allowed to post in here.
    It's a UK thread, for UK people.

    Haha, that picture cracked me up, thank you very much! :D  I think I saw Grylls lurking in the forest behind the hotel, certainly the birds were making a very strange sound and then thousands of them flew out at once and vanished off to the South....maybe he wasn't alone in there....

    I am completely certain that the hospital I'll be working in over here was built on top of an ancient Native American burial site which in turn was dug in loose soil over a portal to Hell which won't close properly....and possibly one to the Black Lodge, too, if you remember Twin Peaks! :) 

    Thanks mate! Here it's not obviously that strange right away, but I can feel it slowly creeping up on me, going to make the best of it though (and contemplate my plastic crack if it ever gets too weird! :)  )

    And there's always this thread to stop me going mad, this has to be one of the nicest places on the internet! :) 


    Argh....he's the equivalent of 80 squid or less over here....nooooo, must....resist.....aiiiiieeeeee! :eek: 

    Wow, hillarious! I think Shitbot has bags under his eyes....:eek: 

    Thanks Ironic, and thank you very much for the well-wishes too!

    I laughed at that comment! :) 

    I laughed at that too! :) 

    :cry  Waaaaaah! :cry  *bursts into tears* :cry 

    Actually, since this is New England, I'm sure there's a New Royston Vasey around here somewhere....I went through New London a few days ago....it seemed to be a car park.... *shakes head at 'Merican naming systems*

    Looking good.


    So much coming out isn't there!
    Looking forward to Smokescreen!

    I've spent my birthday today painting 2 MP Skywarps. Both going well.
    Felt like my birthday yesterday with Arsenal having a good win, and pleased for Sweeny Newcastle won :) 
    eBay sell went well, and taken on a few more commissions so a lovely weekend.
    Got a SUPERB Transformers cup from my 6 year old son, easily my favourite present!
    Still loving MP Bluestreak! Such a fantastic figure.

    Oh, happy birthday mate! Sounds like you've been having a good day, may it continue in the same vein! :)
