    I watched The Wolverine last night, and thought it was pap!

    I hate the bone claws with a passion, frickin "Origin" spoiling things yet again

    And I love him too.......Bumblebee not so much.


    Love this reply:thumb 

    I don't know whether to feel extremely sorry for you having to go through such an ordeal but with the same breath proud to hear you make such huge sacrifices for her or alternatively feel sad that you use your daughter as an excuse for watching that Xfactor :D 

    Hope your last 3 days of work go well mate:thumb

    Woohoo! I just filled a gap in my eclectic collection by winning a MIB Classics Hardhead with Headrobots upgrade on ebay.

    I still have my original Hardhead, one of the few transformers that escaped the great "mum gave everything to nuns" clear out when I turned 13. I've always had a soft spot for him as he was bought for me as a reward for winning a scholarship when I was 9.

    Next, the ridiculously named Hardbone!

    Haven't got a clue I'm afraid as I only won the auction on Saturday. It looks as though its around 2-3 weeks from their other feedback.

    The good thing is that they have no negative feedback in the last month at least that says the KO MPs no-showed.

    Now, I would buy a Pumpkin custom, but the character (or a version thereof) has been appearing in Iron Man comics this year. He won a competition as to who Marvel fans wanted revived, and the cyborgs in Planet Hulk were based on him too. Hopefully, a limited series, maybe a figure, in the future?

    Same here with my current attempt so I'm still hoping :) 

    I think I'm getting towards a month now for my second attempt. They're being good with communication but I'm keeping an eye on eBay dispute limits. Let me know how you go as normally I'm fine with eBay...

    Aye, it wasn't just that though - thought it was just a poor film.

    Half of it makes no sense!

    My 6 year old and wife don't like the Xfactor, but my 11 year old loves it! So I watch it with her to keep her company (and check out Nicole :)  )

    I don't need any X-cuse to watch the X-Factor. My favourite bit of the show is the results, because the contestants anguish sustains me.

    That CV is brilliant, thanks!

    Yep, my mum speed in one day and took almost all of my transformers, Star Wars toys and figures, lego, and even the Buck Rogers Starfighter that my father drunkenly bought me to celebrate the birth of my youngest sister and gave it to nuns to give to other kids. (Of course, i appreciate that those kids probably had a fast greater need than did I.)

    I never tire of telling her that if I still had those things, i could probably still them for enough to pay for a university education for my own kids!

    I think you may have missed your chance, considering he's popping up in places like Australia he's being shipped elsewhere now. There's a possibility of a restock for Christmas... (hahahaha! Really? For Christmas? More like for the 'Jan/Feb post Christmas nobody has any money period'! WTF Hasbro UK!). Ahem.

    Anyway I'd just ask at a TRU if they are expecting any more in the future, they'll know better than any of us.
