    I just bought a Arkham origins Batman and a Figma Iron Man and NO Transformers. Do I have to hand my card back in?

    Edit: Amazon cheapy Movie Lockdown has arrived and even with my usual bias this thing is a steaming heap. I'm going to feel bad handing this off a birthday gift. And it makes me sad that this will be the last Transformer I look at for the next 2 days while lots of you will be surrounded by nothing but. I'll concede movie Hound isn't bad though. Why didn't they make them all like him?

    Was said, fully in jest - Boardwise should know better than to leave things open-ended in here.

    Anyone with stuff to pick up from me, I'm in the bar, table at the windows, Scottish guy with beard and glasses.

    And as discussed I'll be around Kapow the morn.

    So envious right now of those at / off to AA.

    I could really do with spending my Friday lunchtime lounging next to ninety, listening to stories of partying with creepy cosplay seeker girls, speculating on the price of a Dispensor, etc.

    Instead of being at my desk, inhaling an egg sandwich.

    I wonder if it's going to be quiet on here this weekend because of AA?
    I wouldn't mind going, but I'm already fully booked doing other non-TF stuff. Admittedly it's fun stuff, but does mean I can't get to AA, and I don't live too far from it :-(
    Hopefully I will get the chance to go to see GOTG tomorrow though.

    It will be a little quieter, but thanks to the power of the Interwebs, 3G/4G and public free WiFi, there will be sporadic visits from regulars.

    I'm just sitting here patiently waiting on the ransom note from ParcelForce for my BotCon set. The box is in the Edinburgh centre, a mere 7 miles away, so close, yet so far....

    Is anyone else living in the hope that Takara reissue MP-10 seeing as Hasbro are reissuing him in Asia?

    I much prefer the look of the blue on the Takara version.

    Quick warning for anyone expecting a BotCon set directly from Fun Publications.

    My ransom letter came in and it's a total of £75.11.

    Only got the one set, so anyone who got more and/or a bagged set can expect more.

    A Ukrainian charity shop ex-stripper has been the main topic of conversation so far. Mostly one of her tits being popped during a vigorous bout of loving. It's a long story I'll let someone else explain. Paging Shockscream...
