    Happy birthday @CZ Hazard

    Well, after melting in work this morning, I was told that I could go home for the afternoon as there wasn't enough work, and I have tomorrow off to make a long weekend.
    So I cooled off in the kids paddling pool, where I was joined by all three of my kids, and one of the dogs.
    There has also been a rainbow in a thunder storm here, first time I've ever seen anything like that.
    Hope everyone else is keeping cool :)

    Fucking birds, man. This thing is destined to become a recurring character.

    I blame lack of progress recently on the sweltering heat. Definitely not my own laziness, no sir.

    Yer, Platinum unicron is awesome, plus he fits on normal display shelves.

    They can't be easily recoloured with a new head-ed from Deluxe Weaponizers, innit?
    At the very least I needs me a Thunderbirds-style Drilltank tho!

    I was going to offer the lot of you refuge in a nicely 25C Sweden, but then again last summer the country was literally on fire. Choose Canada.

    500 quid for Unicron has been discussed to death, but at least one of you guys has got to have 300 Walt Disney World Fun Bucks ready for a 38 inch tall, life size Cookie Monster.

    Just my luck. As I'm hunting down the last few non-subscriber Daleks for the Eaglemoss shelf, their website decides to restock the oroginal Dalek Parliament set. And while it does have 4 I still need, I can't bring myself to buy it what with my budget currently feeling like my body in this heat - overwhelmed. So, unless anyone wants to split some Daleks with me, time to start some sales up.

    Edit: I forgot, I already had a sales thread. You know you'll feel better from the heat if you spend some money. AkibaSilver's Clearing Space Sales!

    I'm type 2 and it's the same kind of deal, I become super focused and will go round a supermarket like I'm a Tazmanian Devil in order to get some grub sorted :D

    The Sixgun guy looks ace!!!

    Genuinely been considering it. He can keep my Gonzo photo replica company when I'm out.

    It's a strange one isn't it, considering they were pretty generic carbots. Probably good repaint candidates right there, but I assume Hasbro have either forgotten or assume that the toy-buying public have forgotten them. But come on, POTP Jazz as Overdrive? I can kinda see it.

    I can't lie, at the revelation of these fellas there's a wee tickle of the completist impulse at the back of my mind but given the history of Amazon Exclusives (as in they tend to stock PLENTY) I will be biding my time on it and waiting to see how this pair manifest.
    Thunderbirds' "Mole" Brunt is where it's at for me. Got my fings crossed the drill can pop off the top of that head and mount into or instead of the gunbarrel.
    Much love for Omnibot redecos but I wouldn't wish the Jazz body on any repaint, those flappy shoulders just vex me, right in the Vex spot.
