    Class interview @kgorman79 and @Maz.

    3 deliveries could hit Casa Napalm tomorrow. Could. I have to give these postal types some love though, yes? Won't you place your bets, ladies and gentlemen please. Am I to be:

    *Well Excite; Trousers Off, Stetson On, Robots Out All Day
    *Cautiously Optimistic; Trousers Off, Stetson On, Robots Out All Day
    *Forlornly Expecting To Be Severely Fucked Over Within The Context Of The Situation; Trousers Off, Stetson On, Robots Out All Day

    Yeah, top interview guys.
    I even learned that kids didn't watch the Unicron Trilogy and the Bay's movies didn't bring young blood into the fandom.

    Napaman, I bet on you being cautiously expecting to be fucked by a bunch of trousers within the context of the excitement. Robots out all day.


    Good night folks. With the actual everyday deskbots.

    Bay actually made me a tf fan @ 6 years of age. I had no idea what a transformer was until I saw it.

    Oh, I know a lot of young ones who get in TF love with Bay movies. And I'm grateful for it. I mean, you're here dude, that's great.
    That was just a reaction about a comment in another thread ;)

    I was baffled for a second there, as I saw nothing of the sort in that thread - and then I remembered the little "show ignored content" link. :D 

    Another great interview article Maz!

    As you rightly said here dude it's all about splitting the cost down. Yes it's expensive but considering he makes them in his own house it's some of the finest crafts I've ever seen. Sometimes even better than third party stuff from a factory.

    But I think you are mostly wasting your time here explaining it. He seems to want a head for a couple quid and free shipping rather than actually put out for any quality item.

    "numerous mistakes, recycled animation, an almost incomprehensible plot."
    Now is this describing the Unicon trilogy cartoons, or the G1 toon? :D

    Amiami. First time I've used them, and have heard nothing bad about them. Used the medium-cost postal choice of their four options - not EMS but not basic SAL as I wanted tracking/registration for precisely this reason. To be fair they did their bit and bunged it in the post. It goes AWOL after it hits a Tokyo Post Office. The response I've had from them is to "check your PO" - yes, that did a lot of good - and wait 8/10 weeks before they consider a shipment missing. Japanese PO didn't respond (and if mentioned outside this thread I would get some Wanker like @llwanker tell me it was because I wasn't polite enough.....not making that mistake again) and there it hangs. All £120-odd of it.

    One way or another I won't be using the Japanese option again.

    And I promise to leave it there. But it's got me not wanting to open the Diaclone thread just because.....

    Positives? It's early man, I'll get to them later.

    It's like a perfect summary of Kremzeek.

    ... But I like Kremzeek. Stop laughing !
    Heck, to this day, if I mention TF at my folk's you can hear my dad shooting "Kremzeek, kremzeek!"

    ... I said stop laughing!

    And good morning brits.

    Ouch dude. That... Sucks. Hard.
    And how unfortunate. I buy regulary from Japan since at least 12 years now, never had the slightest issue. Au contraire, always helpful, sometimes manage to secure things I had lost hope to get. Well, it's mostly little book shops so I dunno about Amiami, but man I hate that you have such a bad experience.
    ... This post doesn't help you at all.

    So, hurh, I don't know, BE POLITE MAN !!
    How rude.

    Just had a look in the Kev/Maz thread you've all mentioned and was SO tempted to unignore.....but I read Kit's post and sensible me realised Life is precious and I really don't need to know.

    Never truer words have been written.
    Even my life is precious. A life full of numerous mistakes, recycled animation, and incomprehensible plot.

    It's true, I wasted... probably more of my life than I needed to responding to that post. Better more urgent things to do today.
