    Tigris?

    My Talon was shipped from the UK over three weeks ago and I have yet to receive it. The post system here is getting worse :(

    OK, I need to shift a few items.

    Kiss Players Rodimus. One of the doors was broken out the box so I fixed it with some glue. Other than that it is mint. Comes boxed with everything. £40 + shipping.

    Binaltech Dead End. Has been opened and transformed. Is it great condition with just a couple of paint chips. £20 + shipping.

    Binaltech Argent Meister. Brand new in sealed box. Lovely shiny silver rx-8. £30 + shipping.

    Universe Drag Strip. Brand new in sealed box. £20 + shipping.

    Henkei Thrust. Brand new in sealed box. £25 + shipping.

    I will put them on eBay next week if nobody wants them.

    Any Whippetconners after a Warbot Defender, boxed and complete? Let me know, I can bring it tomorrow.

    If anyone wants me to bring any specific robits to have a look at, let me know. I'll be aiming to get there mid-morning, I would have thought.

    Have you had any issues with customs and PSX packages?

    Edit: I'm so very glad I watched this on the frontpage! I have no interest in what it's selling and nearly passed on clicking, but man that's a fantastic advert!!

    Edit 2: It even has Vince Dicola involved in making the theme tune!

    I don't suppose anyone else with Windblade has two identical shoulder pads for her? I do Nd am hoping someone else has the opposite part :)

    Made a bit of a balls up with whippet guys as we can only enter after 11 for the £8 day ticket. I think the earlier 11-11.30 meet up town may now better

    Going to bring columpio for folk to have a gander at.

    If anyone had one of the kfc badbat molds or platinum magnus could you bring it along. Would also love to see a scoria in person

    Just got one today but no double pads on mine. Sorry. What do you make of her? Pretty cool I think, but was an absolute bitch to transform the first time.

    Heavenly photo. Feral Rex looks every bit as mighty as hoped for. Dammit need Tigris yesterday.

    *starts dancing, smears chest with Vicks vapourrub, water bottle in hand, falls over overcome with fumes. noticed blinking lights on pc. starts dancing again*

    That black blurr is lovely isn't it? Love that vault book.

    My last few orders from cd japan have all arrived 5 or 6 days later, so not shabby at all.

    Be good to see you, what new goodies have you got? Sadly not after a Warbot defender. Could you bring AOE Hound? After your stellar enabling description of him last time I'm tempted. Just the smallest push needed to tip me over the edge.

    Panda and I should be there some time after 11 so if Panda is ok with that, it suits me. Love to see Columpio (think Panda may bring his one too :D  )

    Nemesis, I'm bringing Scoria plus Talon and cheesecake Prime. Nothing else new but happy to bring any MP, Alternity or Animated Dinos?

    If we can get in at 11, why meet in town at 11? Is it because most people are on the train? I'm driving, and will pass the arena to get into town anyway.

    I have very little experience with cons, but assume that it would be better to do that first and then sit down in a pub and admire robots whilst being mocked by passers-by later :) 

    Scuba, I can't get Windblade to stand up for love nor money half the time, and keep wondering if I am missing something! Transforming her is still a bit of a git, even after a week. It' such a shame, because I like her bot mode a great deal. I just wish they would stop with the stupid insistence of giving female robots bloody high heels!

    I like her but she does feel a bit fiddle and gimmicky, wish they'd found something better to do with her arms in her disguise. But the high heel part does make posing awkward unfortunately :(

    That's a typo I meant to put time . Please don't everyone mention town now due to a typo.

    Yeah the plan may need a rethink, Arena square is still best place but meeting up later or at the con beforehand does sound better.

    Could you bring windblade along actually would be nice to take a look at one

    Good point. Don't mind if it's before or after the con but we're driving too so near the arena would be better?

    Edit: ah thanks NS. The pub you posted a few pages back sounds fine.
