    So your wife is doped up? This is the perfect opportunity for a pic of Delta Magnus on baby bump, just tell her it's a new method of speeding up labour...

    Wardog is still in robot mode mate to be honest I don't think ill ever try to get him to his alt mode, but it's no great loss as he has such a good bot mode I'm still chuffed I grabbed him off you.

    Was a great pube also such a good night out I thought.

    Love it Prime is fucked, great set of pics just love the use of Meg's face's to help tell the story.

    I really must get round to getting these out the cupboard i've still never touched them apart from a quick once over when I got them

    Chocolate


    In all seriousness I would most likely go back to just reading TFW and find something else to spend my cash on, Starwars things maybe or try and get the G1 done or stuff for my car (if I ever get back to being able to drive ) might pick up the odd bot if something really caught my eye. but I think for the most part I would be out the game

    Great song even got the missus laughing

    I'm swapping to whores ....way better than chocolate.


    Maybe whores covered in chocolate


    Top answer here I think the 'event' that accompanies a new MP release or 3rd party even if I'm not picking it up is a fun ride with the photo's and review's to wet the anticipation and is a good experience for the fandom as a whole and is great to be a part of.

    Hopefully your little one will show up tonight then mate .....*cross's fingers*

    More OSKOSS. I know I weeks and weeks late to the party but hey, I'm being fashionably late. Also, this picture has practically no post done to it, just auto levelling.

    Now, I wasn't particularly enamoured with MP-12. I thought it was decent but waaay overpriced. But this one? Considering I got this KO for almost 30% cheaper than I got the official and it's sheer size... had made me appreciate the mould in a whole new way. I just wish, wish, that it was a proper Human Alliance type of job.

    One of the strangest things about living in Asia - and Singapore in particular - is that the usual anti-social behaviour seen in the teens in the Western world is almomst always the result of pensioners here. Seriously.... Barging people out of the way on the train to get a seat. Playing movies loudly and online gambling on the train. I even saw an old woman cutting her finger nails on the train here. All 60+ old women. And you do not want to get in their way! The younger generation are the ones with headphones and who queue up and wait their turn.

    To me it is still far superior to the recent RID, and probably Prime too... I would love to see what they could have done with the full tv show budget / time per episode.

    I was about to pull the trigger on this until I noticed he had the wrong head. So I'm going to wait and see if they fix it in a repaint later if they do i'd buy two to get the proper head.

    In the mean time if you have a itch to buy something this guy is only like £12.00 on eBay and is rather spiffy.

    Just caught up on this thread, whilst listening to that new remaster of the G1 cartoon background music. Really great stuff!

    I watched the last ep of the CW Machinima mini-cartoon,
    and Megatron totally owned it! He was the only watchable character in the entire show.

    If there were no more official Masterpieces, I'd collect the 3P ones. If there were no 3P ones either, then I'd concentrate on my fembot collection, and I might even splash out on the new Machine-robo line too.
    I wouldn't be buying much other official mainstream stuff though, doesn't interest me enough to want to own it.

    Ah, I thought so!
    Rock Lords FTW!!

    I would say I'd collect Rock Lords if there were no more Masterpiece Transformers, but I already have them all :p

    Old Chinese women are the worst, because in their minds being older requires the younger folk to automatically respect them, which I never did. On a fun walk thing I did many years ago to fund raise for the Chinese Community Centre we got beaten with their walking sticks because we were in the way of some Newspaper photographers and the old folk wanted to be in the picture.

    He actually comes with 2 wrong heads, because for some inexplicable reason he comes with the red G2 Derek Yaniger head too! Madness.

    Oh what, the G1 background music CD is out?? Where did you get yours, V?

    And annoyingly, the Yaniger G2 head has the correct Sideswipe helmet, whereas the one attached in the right colour is Red Alert's helmet.

    I quite liked it to be honest.

    Cannot WAIT for the Tigertrack version.

    All the best

    Well, I'm a Staffordshire lass, but I'd settle for you nunchucking yourself in the privates and then typing "my" response ;)

    Updated my Sales Thread and just got offered £75 for a misb Hasbro MP-10.

    I know that the KOs have ate into the price, but that still seems light to me.

    Anyone agree?

    Awesome! Thanks for the link, Kit, that's a nice sweetener after the usual staff meeting boredom and frustration.

    Totally forgot about it too, which didn't help any - especially as on the way out of the house I had an idea I was just itching to try out on the red alert screen!

    [​IMG]
    Just a little nod to the warning signs on the ramps for some design unity.

    Also did a test on Status: Green, as a common thing GIMP seems to do is go a bit bitmappy-jagged on the curves and diagonals. As I may have to port over to Pages to fix the printing scale, I thought I'd see if it could fix it as crisp simple shapes are totally it's bag...

    [​IMG]

    Ooh, yeah. That's the stuff!
    Nice & smooth.
