    That whole "He's a Paratrooper" thing was a total misunderstanding, it was meant to be Paratroosers! :p

    Too few or too many?
    I've already decided I'm cheating by giving Abominus one slot so I can include all the Terrorcons.

    Lost Light inspired throw back!

    Ta!

    About 7 grand, though that included a side passageway and fences. That’s the thing about doing work - once you start, you realise how much other stuff needs doing!

    My favourite non-g1 Megatron. Animated Megatron and Ultra Magnus were both amazing. Never had the Bulkhead from that line to comment on it.

    For the first time in about 18 months -18 months- there's no construction work sounds in my street, place, building. Not a single one.

    I was going to say, it’s a quiet year for me too, so far as figure of the year goes. My favourite figure so far this year is POTPOP which I knew will be contentious as I can see why he is not to everyone’s taste. OP and that Rodimus certainly are divisive.

    Seem to recall someone wanted to know if it was possible to pick up the individual JJOSKOCW aerialbots anywhere... can’t find the post now to copy in the person who asked after them but Toydojo have them in stock for $35 a pop. All part of the service.

    If anyone happens to know where I could pick up the replacement head for the Wei jiang Alcee then please drop me a line. Tf-toy.com have them for something ridiculous like $30 but I remember that tf-direct had them up for a $5 not long ago...

    In other news, a timely Birthday care package arrived courtesy of Kapow Towers in the form of the new powered suits alpha and beta. Mrs Sideys also came to the rescue with a dirty KO MP bluestreak and some booze and chocolate. I have asked for money from the rest of the family to put towards TFNation to further fund my plastic crack habit.

    Booze flowing from... umm, very shortly, all welcome, party round mine. If you can’t make it, nevermind, we can reconvene at the Hilton in a weeks time. :drunk

    Another day where I look like I am receiving drug packets from abroad...

    Mech Toys Huge Dragon yesterday...
    Iron Factory Asura Knights today.

    Feel like I made the most out of ebays discount code, £90 for the Dino's new seemed an acceptable price. :)

    Soooooo, could I ask some quick advice,

    I made a sale on Facebook for two items for £15 each ,where I've stated 'Please use Paypal f&f or buyer pays fees please'

    A dude contacted me, saying 'How would you feel about £30 shipped for the two? And you let me pay goods and services? Cos I don’t really know you from ... at the mo.'

    I thought that meant he wanted free postage and wanted to pay the fees for goods and services himself. So I agreed, and turns out he's paid £30 via G&S. So minus postage and fees, I'm down about £5. Trouble is,I want some cash & space pre TFN. Would you say something or take it on on the chin?

    Optimus Primal: "Perhaps, though the war shouldn't prevent my original mission of exploring. Besides I have you to back me up if we do encounter any of Megatron's troops."

    Dinobot: "Can't believe that idiot Megatron thought this was Earth."

    This took me so long to pull off. I went from sunlight to shade like five times until I was about to do it.

    I’d say something but then if he kicks up a fuss take it on the chin. Honestly feel like you are lucky if you even sell anything in this hobby let alone get a decent price for it.

    Sorry, I meant to write 'I'm not making any money on these sales', like most TF sales, its at a loss. But I'm worried about losing the sale. Plus if he tells other people I hassled him for a couple of quid I might get bad rep. So I'll probably leave it

    I know the feeling dude. I've been living on a building site for 5 years, and this summer than hammering, drilling and massive trucks driving past finally stopped.

    Mmmm, might have been a bit of a communications break down there dude. He probably thought if he offered to buy both you'd take the G&S hit on the chin for 2 sales in one go, but its worded in a way that it appears he also might have offered to cover the cost of it. You could bring it up with him, but I wouldn't push too hard.

    Happy birthday! Also, is that the Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt? I’m not a chocolate fan, but that stuff is amazing!

    Can we (the UK) use those codes then? I’ve never tried, as I assumed they’d only work for US based folk.
