So what you are saying, is that you fell out of love with one half of the dynamic duo? Cause I can think of no reason why anyone wouldn't like Robson & Jerome.

I'm the desenting voice in my office today. apparently I'm the only one who liked the last episode. Was it perfect? No. But I still liked it. This is how Fan-fiction writers are spawned.

I only use my psychic powers for good...

Big Boingy... why couldn't that have been his official name?

Good luck with the house buying dude. Just make sure to take your time and get proper inspections done; of the last three friends of mine to buy places theres been incidents of leaking roofs, missing loft insulation, dry rot and a pesky ghost. I kid of course, the ghost isn't that pesky.

 

I've not used his new site used but his eBay store often but not in a while.
I think this is the second or third time I've read of customs fees from there. Sometimes customs just get any package from someone, others you are lucky.
I mean I had WJ Omega get in customs free lol
Still I went the pricier UK route because I wasn't patient  

Also Yodel suck don't they. Parcel supposedly due today and at local sorting office but nothing moving! I don't think it's as close as it thinks it is.
Amazon USA also using Yodel, joy.

On the other hand Kapow posted yesterday via Parcelforce and it was delivered at 9.20 this morning! Yay.   Oh yeah, I'm still at work. Boo  

GoT. Dunno what I expected but thought I would be underwhelmed and I was. Wasn't impressed with WW S3 trailer either

 

@MyTea Boc - completely with you on the SS Dev hype - even kinda looking forward to Hightower, the loveable little bug-freak thing...

not sure at all what's triggered it, but i am in a massive depressive hole today - am aurally medicating with Deftones (up to White Pony, then Gore) - it's certainly helping...

 

I think it's the shift in exchange rate between the plunging pound and the US dollar where before $20 would be under £15 now it's £15.70 and 70p is enough to consider "over £15". Might be worth dropping ol' Bill a line?

 

So I've been trying to cut down on my sugar intake. I'm down from three 500ml bottles of Irn Bru a day (on the coke zero now) and am on the low sugar sugar choco treats.
Except for today. Because today got manic and I need a nerve soothing hit. Except now I'm manic. Manic person + manic day = chaos. Two thumbs up! Wish me luck. I just accidentally clicked the 'view page source' function. this should all go well.

Anyway!

I’ve only used Uncle Billy a couple of times, all in the last month or so, and everything else has skipped customs. This was marked as $20 which is usually under £15. Today it converts to £15.71 so it only just crept over the limit & some customs officer must have been super bored. Even the depot bloke was miffed that it had incurred a charge on $20. Didn’t bother me though as it was far less than I’d assumed and still saved me about £20.  

Not bad for an impromptu drunk purchase.

 

Hightower has the kind of leg stance of a first time skater/ skier. It endears him massively to me. That and his teeny widdle arms.

Hope you can climb out of that hole quickly buddy. If the Deftones help you get out all the quicker - all the better.

Proper sugar rush there Barry! Hope your day chills the fuck out!

 

Now, I'm not saying the moratorium on Decoy suit tailoring has lifted but let's just say our stylist here at Primal Tailoring is testing out a new cut of suit.


I actually quite like the look of the poor de-helmeted Metalhawk...

...but I don't really know how or what I could actually utilise it for design wise?

 

Get yourself a sweat head band and use it to stick the phone on your head. I'm being partially serious here.

@MyTea Boc, I didn't domino them... I'll leave them up for a couple more days and then get the kids to topple them. And then film that..

@Braddock, if I have any left to go, I'll let you know. I actually started a spreadsheet (just this morning) to see exactly how many of these buggers I actually have to go for a complete US Legion collection... Whoof. There are a lot of Legions. It doesn't look like I'm missing that many... So far (from retail release) I'm missing...

Cybertron Red Alert
Classics Trypticon
Universe Starscream (Cybertron Thundercracker mould)

I didn't know these three existed...

@Napalm, good luck with the house hunting dude! Get surveys done, but bear in mind most surveyors will have a caveat saying they're not responsible for things they didn't see... which kinda defeats the entire purpose.

@barry, 3 500ml bottles a day? Wow that's a lot. As of a few years ago I was trying to get down to one 330ml can a week. Having said that cutting it all out has done wonders, zero sugar fizzy drinks are great. However... don't drink too much of them because otherwise... uh... 'laxative effects' may occur. My wife got me a Soda Stream for Christmas and cheap fizzy water from the fridge is awesome. Pretty much hits my fizzy pop urge all the time. It's the fizzy, not the sweet I seem to crave.

@Skjalddis, welcome new person! Sorry to hear about your woes, and yes, this is a good place to vent, in between the toy sharing.

To everyone else, sorry that I've missed stuff like people's birthdays! As Mr Calendar, I really have no excuse... except my excuse is I had too much work on...

 

Doubleheader eh? Nice.

As for the de-helmeted guy... you could always find a fishbowl glass helmet and make a Exo-suit or something?

I may be slightly jealous of your kids.

 

Just look out for this type of sign.

 

 

If he wasn't already in the wind I'd be tempted to repack him! Too late now though. Noted for next time, that's no three bad an idea!

 

Calling mtmte fans. Who are these yellow bots?
The guy behind looks like grapple.

 

I'm a Scotsman Kit. We're genetically predisposed to handle obscene amounts of sugar. It's how I've managed to remain under twelve stone despite being a sugar junkie in my forties. But enough is enough!

Also, I shit like a (incredibly regular) champ due to my sugar pimped metabolism.

No, you're TMI!

Sodastream is a not bad idea though. I've started making my own vegan, sugar free, but still sweet and edible chocolate, so making my own fizzy drinks feels like a logical next step.

 

Forgive my asking - who/what is Uncle Billy?

 

I think that's a miscoloured Milne Sureshot. (I think he's possibly been mistaken for Sandstorm)

In front of him is Action Master Powerflash.

A (very good IMO) China-based TF and accessories retailer: Uncle Billy's Shop
They also run the Ebay page 'johosontony' but you can't see their page and listing unless you're on .com but if you watch an item it will also be viewable via your .co.uk account.

 

Seems legit!!

So turned on right now....

 

I get this a lot.

 

@Lothar Hex happy you found him

@tikgnat arond how many legends tfs you own if you know thx

 

Of that scale (Legion) there's 316 unique TF's in the pic, plus I have 8 more duplicates, so I'd say I have 324 Legions/Commanders. I also have a bunch of the new 'Legends' scale but I haven't counted them as they are significantly bigger than the Legions.

One of the big draws for this scale (for me) is the fact they're (generally) Hot Wheels sized vehicles in Alt mode.

There's a bit of overlap with Legions and Minicons, the 3 Minicons that form Centuritron are actually Legion sized, and DOTM had 3 Dinobot Minicons that are officially Legions... but they are too small.

I love Spychangers too, but they're not Legions because the shared body type is it's own class.

I like small bots.
