    I have some alterations to do on todays arrival then should be in a similar situation to you.

    I think I will be in for this. I am using the Warbotron figures combined with Masterpiece figures. Rex is not combined and they are a suitable size to with the other MP's.

    So that new Menasor is meant to scale with MP in alt mode, at least I think that's what it says :lol

    WAT.

    Kawamori (san) is my fav mech designer, bar none. Plus I thought Thunderbird S looked really good, shame we've not seen it except at the end of the 2 part pilot episode!

    Been listening all morning at work, and thought I was still asleep when Peoples Hero Stuart Broad had two wickets in the first over.

    It has been pheonomenal. Still expecting an inevitable England batting collapse, which will make it interesting.

    The batting during all 4 tests so far has been ropey, but the bowling has been real high calibre.

    On my lunch, I could see the balloon above Trent Bridge, and just wantedto sack off work and go down to the ground :(

    Few of us at work following the cricket and genuine disbelief as score was coming through! Good times.

    Always have a soft spot for G1 Dreadwind, and regret selling him truth be told. Fond memories of 'Dread Tidings' in the comic too!

    Do we still have a 'U.K.' Sales thread does anyone know?

    Thank you all for the kind words and advice over the lat few days. It really meant a lot, particularly the chats with Nick and James. You are all wonderful people.

    So, anyway, I spent my holiday money, since I didn't go on holiday.

    Cracking deals on the Orochi Skywarp and the iGear Medical Specialist on eBay. The two sealed boxes...well, I'm very excited!

    I don't think so - unless it's buried very far down in the Sales Forum's history...I certainly don't ever see a UK thread pop up.

    I think most people tend to put 'UK' somewhere in the thread title.

    Awesome to hear from you, Pod. Glad you've spent your money very wisely, and hope you're on the mend.

    Pods back and showing off new acquisitions - good to see.

    Hope you are holding up OK there big fella... If you fancy a drink with some of the Yorkshire mob then just holla.

    Also, MT Visualisers are starting to come in stock - I can't wait :)

    Continuing the thread enablement for non-robot related activities.....

    DO EEETTT!!!

    Batting collapse is always a possibility but with it being 82-2 its actually looking pretty good.

    Yeah, i was updating the office and similar disbelief here. It was almost getting to the point where i was telling them about a wicket as another was falling! Crazy innings.

    Not sure if there's a UK sales thread but the old UK sales social group looks to be gone now.
    I remember there was talk about a year ago about making a non-us sales section in the buy and sale forum but it looks like nothing ever came of it. Shame as its a bugger to sort through threads trying to find UK or Euro based sellers.

    Fantastic pic!

    Picked him up from the post office at lunchtime. I've been holding off combining the other members i have until i got the full set. Can't wait to give it a go tonight!

    Cricket: Malay Betting Syndicates are VERY impatient these days ;) 

    Ashes by Teatime.

    Actually held off on Devy long enough for Morg to sell out. Phew.

    Just saw Kapows message on facebook that they will be stocking Cloud 9s' Quakeblast. Not something I am in for but should we say that in light of Fanstoys recent behavior that karma is a bitch? lol

    Enjoying watching the cricket - hoping for big innings from Bairstow.

    Add me in for one who loved Dread Tidings (and Sound-waves and Grim Grams) in TF:UK.

    Got MP Grimmy off Kapow today, not opened yet due to watching the Aussie procession

    I had to laugh when Bell went for 1...for the 6th time in his last 14 innings. He had a good innings in the last test but has been terrible for so long.
    Lythe, is just bad and needs dropping straight away.

    To say that pair are supposed to be Batsmen, blimey - they are dreadful.

    But other than those two wallies it has been a good innings. Cook put in a decent performance before getting out and Root has once again looked excellent.

    If we can get up to 260, then that will give the Aussies a tough lead to try and climb.

    Love it.

    Bell's one of those ones that's always managed to do just enough to keep his place over the last few years without ever looking like he's good enough to properly be there. Not convinced by Lythe at all. He looks a bit like Balance before he was dropped, a bit afraid of the ball and not able to score. It looks like all the bowlers have worked him out too.

    With the England team being more positive in their playing under the new coach it may be time for Hales to be given a go at the top of the order. He's one of those guys like David Warner that could take their t20 and 50 over form and use it to demolish the new ball. A bit like Trescothick used to do.

    Root is shear class. All the skill and elegance of Pietersen but without the "being a bit of a knob" part :lol

    If this test continues the way it's going and we win the ashes, the clamouring for KP's return will soon die down. Thankfully. Nothing against KP I just detest Piers Morgan, he was stinking up talksport on the way home the other night.

    Disagree - Root is a knob, but he's an "up front" knob, rather than a "behind yer back" knob like KP. I like him. I'd be a pain in the backside if I was outrageously talented like Root-eh.

    Hales is by far the biggest, most arrogant knob in English cricket. Even ahead of James Vince and Jason Roy.
