    @Seeaich as a teacher bud my advice would be never tackle kids in groups, you'll always come off worse.


    Take a kid out the group and they crumble in seconds.

    You just got to say to yourself that a lot of teens are really really insecure and they will do alsorts to fit in around their friends.

    It's hilarious how quickly they pick out things to make mean comments on in others to make themselves seem better but can't take even the slightest bit of banter ;) 

    doesn't make it right and some kids are mature enough to rise above it but at the end of the day a lot are scared of looking weak, unattractive and being the brunt of bullying etc and hormones are all over the place.

    Totally brilliant that they are here, happy birthday @Rotorstorm, thanks everyone for the update on Chinese Gnaws. I ordered my two to become a trio of gnaws.

    If you've got $203 burning a hole in your pocket then run, don't walk to the shell of the Collectors Club close out sale and pick up CW Bluestreak.

    Actually no, don't do that. Why make the profiteering cunts think it's ok to charge that for a fucking deluxe to the UK. They make FPC/A3U look positively charitable.

    I think what's getting to me about Chinese eBay Gnaw is that I ordered him and Kickback at the same time but from different sellers, and Kickback has been with me for about a week now. Hurry up sharkie! :lol 
    Edit: now powered suits are listed in stock at HLJ. :D

    A few of you may remember the two pics I posted a few weeks ago where I showed all the figures that were sitting on the floor of the display room.

    Well I started rearranging things today, been at it since 9am and finished at 7pm, and STILLhave more to do, but I've decided that Spychangers are evil and suicidal. No matter where I put them, they'd always manage to fall off a shelf and either take out loads of other figures or set-off a missle. Right now, they're on the floor and will be packed away tomorrow.

    Seems like we are all doing the same. I ordered Perceptor and Top Spin from ID earlier in the week & am waiting to see what Takara do with Kup.

    Hopefully will get a despatch notice in the near future :)

    And we all may end up figuratively kicking ourselves if they turn up in TRUs at Computer Says No prices over the weekend.

    But I'm having fun this evening. Even Brawn is brilliant. He is a waist swivel away from perfection at Legends size. Even Percy is growing on me.

    Might be forced to see if Orbital has a Krok left tomorrow......Y'know, for reasons. Impatient, weak-willed reasons.

    And I only intended to buy bloody part 3 of the Partwork today I swear.......

    I've still got a set on order at Kapow and even I only need one of him. He actually didn't look like a "must buy" in hand - He can wait. Might warm to him when mine arrives.

    You're going to like Brawn. I really hope this wave DOES get distributed properly just for Him.

    Be nice if they did. Retail seems all over the place with bits of waves showing up but not the whole thing.

    I still want to pick up Titan Masters Sawback, Fangry and Ptero but it looks like that ain't gonna happen.

    I, sheep- like, followed you all to ID for my fix of Topspin and Percy because I have no brain left.

    I feel like I've been forgetting to appreciate the stuff I have. It's been 9 months and I'm just now really starting to appreciate Masterpiece Ratchet. He's my favourite Autobot so this, for me, was like my Jazz. That absolute landmark. But that didn't land at first.

    It's easy to complain about figures you either don't have or are currently failing to exist, but man, it's so much better to just look at what you do have.

    You'll love them! I know others have said it already but the diaclone reboot toys are just so well engineered and well thought out. I had no choice but to put my order in for Cosmo maneuvers with HLJ earlier today!:D

    Yeah he is. Better than Bumblebee, just a step down from Wheelie. A great and deserved update on a neglected character. Pics tomorrow when I have some natural light to work with.
