Thank you, kind Sir!

Afternoon, all.

 

HE HAS RETURNED! PRAISE JEEBUS!

 

While I'm here, here's today's Movie-themed deskbots keeping me company. Hot Rod likes "New Day Rising" while Magnus is more of a "Candy Apply Grey" type. Galvatron was never really into Husker Du, too busy listening to Minor Threat and Bad Brains. Spike likes Foo Fighters. No one likes Spike.

 

CALENDAR UPDATE.

Wait, what? I thought I said I was finished and wasn't going to spam those pictures anymore? Well, I'm not... these are the bonus pages.

So... remember those Top Trumps cards I did just before TFN for Bob Budiansky to sign? Well, why not make some cut out sheets for you people? Now, an admission, these have been sized slightly down so I could get all 30 cards onto 3 sheets.







I will also do a limited edition Shitbot card that will only be available for for first print run people! I'll show that... well once I've done it.

 

Tikgnat I'm down for a set of card versions of these

 

.

 

They're only gonna be included as bonuses with the 2018 calendar for now.

 

Ooh pesky

 

Hmm. Maybe I'll just stick to neither in which case!

Cubex lol, that takes me back

Ugh god this reminds me of the tabbing on Badcube Gears, I gave up on it and put him back on the shelf in roboto mode where he belongs.

This is well true about the alt mask, better that than the goofy sex face. He's a really nice looking figure all said

 

This one the goofy sex face?

Ha ha check @tikgnat going '3P Exclusive' on us  

Next run of cards only available with spare calendars made available in..... October 2018, but at the original RRP  

 

Hmm, looking at last years calendar thread I had the 2017 calendar ready by mid October...

Righty, that means that once I get the Shitbot card done I'll be rocking up to the printers to get a quote...

Edit
Ha, but these cards are gonna be slightly downsized cards, I'll work out a 'proper' card release further down the line.

 

<shudder>
Pair him with Inferno and they're cooking with gas

 

Well, I am mighty tempted by these upgrades. In fact, I'd like two sets of the upgrades, and two of the weapons kit (in grey - currently OOS). Are you thinking of getting anything from Nonnef, @Seeaich? Could another bulk buy work?

 

Did a couple more shelves in the Detolfs today, tried to go for a 'Rebirth' theme but have been scuppered by HasTaks lack of Autobot Targetmasters and the rest of the Monsterbots in deluxe size....Hmmmm.

I was going to use TM Hot Rod, Kup & Blurr. However I realised that I never found a United Recoil for a non-eye watering price so Stepper and Artfire are filling out the ranks for now. I'm also still not sure if I should get a Walgreens B'storm and switch the SDCC one out?




The rest of the Throttlebots wouldn't go amiss either!



The 'Cons have fared much better, although like many of us I'm still down a 'Slinger. I've preordered the LG one so it'll be a while yet until that gap on the left gets filled. I still need to get my arse into gear with risers to balance the aesthetic side of things out.

 

CALENDAR UPDATE

Sorry to spam the hell out of it but seeing as I had these out by mid October last year I'm gonna say the deadline for 1st run preorders is going to be September 30. If you're not part of the first run you'll have to wait for a second run to build up to a minimum number and that might not happen.

So, once I have numbers I'll get the quotes, work out price and start tapping people up for MONIES. So yeah... you should have the Calendar in your hands by November if things go OK...

 

I'm in!

 

Probably a really fit stepmum projected onto the side of a class rock club.

I tend to use PicsArt and Pixlr together, and composite images between the two.

PicsArt is becoming a bugger to use though of late. Ads, compression, microtransactions, forcing you to make public your gear to its users.. not good. I am looking elsewhere to do things, but its array of effects remains pretty top notch.
