    I didn't enjoy it as much as the first series either, my favorite character in the whole thing was Jarvis 'cos he was so stereotypically British :D 

    Even a brief cameo from some of the Netflix characters during Infinity War would do the job but it seems like the in house issues that Otterton mentioned are going to throw a spanner in the works :( 

    Aside from the inevitable epic shot where we see a shitload of characters onscreen at once the thing I'm looking forward to most from Infinity War is seeing Rocket interact with some of the Avengers, I also kinda dread it because if Tony Stark makes an Iron Raccoon armour my collecting budget will get battered :D 

    EDIT
    Postie just delivered my Devastator t-shirt from jame5y :) 

    And I also got shipping confirmation from TFS that DX9 Powerglide will be here on Monday :)

    Oh gawd, that guy has commented on my stuff before as well.

    Was always a case of standing up from keyboard and backing away slowly.

    All the best

    RiD Thermidor - damn sexy!!

    edit: actually, scratch that - the 'bot mode looks great, but the vehicle mode.. The front doesn't stay tabbed together when you tab in the pincers into the folded up legs. Who engineered this heap?! Sheesh..

    the wonders of legit Chinese ebay auctions just astounds me - ordered IF Wings of Tyrant Violet on ebay on Friday - shipped out from Tianjin - expected delivery - 14/9 - yet somehow it's got to me in just about a week.... if ever you need an anecdote as to why people look abroad for stuff, that's it.

    (before anyone starts accusing me of being racialist, I'm not suggesting that the bulk of Chinese ebay stuff is scams)

    I had a life before Pocket Mortys.

    Then I got Pocket Mortys.

    Then my wife got Pocket Mortys.

    Now we are both lost in Pocket Mortys.

    I should hate Pocket Mortys.

    But I love Pocket Mortys.












    Pocket Mortys.

    Sorry to hear about your news @Rotorstorm , don't forget that when one door closes another opens.

    I wouldn't be where I am now (particularly professionally) if it hadn't been for things not going the way I'd wanted them to at the time.

    The only way you can go from here is up.

    DM if you need *anything*.

    I love the Internet (spoiler, that's a lie). There's a dude - I forget his name, Cuntwhistle or something - but if Daim shares my stuff he always responds with an angry face. It gives me chortles.
