    Bit baffled as to why some people are calling Fansproject's Quadruple U "4U". Surely it should be written as UU UU, 2 sets of Ws, as in WeirdWolf?

    If there's one thing I've learned from browsing these forums for the last 5 years, it's that this fandom has more than its fair share of ******s.

    Those 2 aforementioned forums scare the crap out of me that people like that actually exist.

    Woah thats pretty cool, gonna have to give that bash:thumbs2: 

    hahahaha

    same here mate!! bollox:banghead: 

    If RK shipped out all their Soundwaves at the same time, and they all arrived here together in one delivery from the same sender in similar boxes its pretty safe to say customs took one look, started rubbing their grubby mits together then spun the wheel of misfortune to determine the ransom.

    Need some advice, how do I complain to the post office? Just rushed up there this evening to pick up a parcel I missed today only for the guy in there to hand me another box saying "oh, we've had this for you since the ninth, from China!"

    I was in no way informed that this had arrived yet alone already had an attempted delivery, had I not gone up there tonight they would have been sending this back to China before long, really not happy with this at all.

    Ye gods! To think I was relatively interested in X-Transbots x-7 and x-8 (Ironhide and Ratchet) as I couldn't justify the price of the excellent iGear versions. Then I saw the price for them, $179!!! They look like steaming jism compared to the iGear versions and almost cost as much. Have to stick to my Universe versions for now, unless I can go back in time and sell my record collection again.

    Shit, they're still trying to sell those XTransbots ones? Good luck to them :lol 


    @FM- I dunno bud, but if you figure out a way be sure to let us know :p  I have a nice little list of complaints about our postman, who likes to open our mail and have a quick look in case there's anything worth stealing, and if not dumps it in the rain outside the porch.

    Postie's get a lot of flack, but in the main they are quite decent arent they?

    About my biggest complaint regarding the post man, is his knack for writing "48 hours" on the back of the red slip. But the parcel is always there in 24 hours so its no big deal.

    I suppose theres always bound to be the odd renegade though.

    Yeah I think there's just a few bad eggs. Our old postie was a older chap, really polite and friendly. Used to have a nice chat when we saw him, and he always delivered in the morning. The new guy we got last year, is some little ginger fucker that wears shorts year round. Quite happy to kick people's cars, doesn't bring mail (he collects all our mail up and throws it our way on Fridays; just drives down our road and off again to say he's been) and in general is a rude little twat.


    If only we could clone Wasp!

    I too am in the Soundwave stuck at customs club. I was chuffed with how quickly it was shipped to the country, less than impressed with how I have to wait for days for a probable charge. I just wish there were some way of finding out what I owe before I get the letter through the door...

    Talk is cheap ;) 

    Though I'll give you anonymity, as you aren't on for me to ask and I don't want said ******s filling your PM inbox with inarticulate spam.



    When's Toy Fair again? Mid-Feb was it?
