Anyone looking for any titans returns voyagers? Inc astrotrain? €31.99 here in smyths. Plus postage obv.

 

I'm still after TR Galvatron. Somehow.

 

Edinburgh TRU still had some last weekend. If I were going back this Saturday I'd have looked for you, but I'm not leaving the house this weekend sorry.

 

Do you want me to grab one?

 

I was pretty interested in these and could cope with a little bigger, but this is just too far I think...

 

Just left. Hope you were alright.

 

I went back and grabbed you one.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys, @Seeaich I agree the darker side is too dark, it's the effect I go for on these, but I've looked at it doing a quicker way and it's too dark in this instance.

I want to make these for not just me but all of us, it's great to get such good feedback thanks guys  

 

I'm still after TR Galvatron and Rumble myself, hoping they won't be gone from all outlets by the end of this month!

All the best

Hrm. Getting antsy waiting for TR wave 3 to hit. Want Hot Rod so I can have a decent Rodimus to glare at Death's Head and Galvatron.

 

The Autobot outing to a safari park didn't go as planned,

 

*Phew* IMBAP but at least I'm an honest one and, honestly, the Scorpy is the only one where the darker shift seemed jarring. Top work, jame5y!

Whilst I await the printers figuring out the sticker cutting thing besides reprolabelling Mini-cons and snagging Astrotrain I've also kept my idle hands busy by practicing the old blind bag feel-up.
As the Wave 3 Star Wars Micro Machines are just 97p at Tesco (a whole thre'pence cheaper than Smyths! I'm in Yorkshire Heaven!) I gave it a go and managed to feel up a couple more FO Troop Carriers, with the intent of making a ship/drone launch bay in Max's forearm. I quite fancy the idea of a trio of hexagonal launch tubes plus some other tech detailing, does anyone have any ideas for material fodder for such a construction?

 

Rhinos on top of Bumblebee gave me flashbacks to an early Robot Chicken sketch.

 

Gonna have a signing for Lost Light #1 in Orbital in December, if anyone's into that kinda thing, please do stop by. Friday 16th Dec from 5-7pm. Transformers: Lost Light #1 Signing | Orbital Comics

 

Any of the Pube/London crowd been thinking abut getting TR fort Max from tesco? They're doing 3 for 2 on all toys tomorrow, which means that you can get 3 FM for £67 each. Anyone interested in going in on it with me?

 

well, that's the best thing I've seen on the internet today  

 

Surprised you didn't mention that today, but I already have the date noted down  

 

Shortest article I've ever written for TFSource Blog I think...

@Maz great article, I wouldn't class myself as a collector, there is no rhyme or reason to the transformers I own, I just get ones I like or that have a sense of nostalgia for.

I just like transformers. There are guys I admire here for their dedication in being focused on building an enviable collection, I just don't have the time/money/insight in being a part of that, but I love seeing people here so happy with what they are blessed with

 

Wholeheartedly agree Maz, I "collected" transformers as a kid, without a doubt; often seeking out specific toys to complete teams or sub lines - often saving up my paper round money to afford them and as you say, asking for the less accessible, more expensive figures at Birthday or Xmas. Naturally, there were times I bowed to peer pressure and wanted the new cool toy or transformer - like most kids would do but the only reason I didn't collect all the figures I wanted was not down to a non-collector ethic (because that definitely existed) but due to a lack of available funds - and had the money been there I would have had all the dinobots or all the aerialbots etc... the only differences between me now and me back then is disposable income and how I interact with the toys. I still get giddy when I get a new figure!
