His sexy brother:

 

Nice, nice!

 

Yup, In my experience a solid retailer, they're not perfect and the odd order error can happen but any issues I've had has been resolved pretty quick.

I mean, what more do I want? He can even do a decent approximation of nailing the 9.0 Landing into Impactor Backhanding!!!


AND pull off a decent rifleman kneel!


BUT he can't two hand his own stock weapon when doing so, and that rotor unit just could've done with a little something, another design pass.
I mean on mine, in the combined for car mode megaweapon form, not only does the post spin freely but the weapon inserted up top can also whirl around too (it's not falling-out loose it can just twizzle away merrily, and even counter-spin the opposite way as the mounting spins the other), apart from when the long gun is attached to that port by the rear peg in Blasphemic Blaster mode...

I feel bad that I keep ragging on an awesome figure I am very lucky to already have in hand, I mean I definitely love it 'cuz I've already had the tweak itch and given him some tail/landing lights plus a better coat of yellow in his cheek guard intakes! This must be a bit like what it is to be a gymnastics judge, when excellence becomes common smaller mistakes seem much greater in comparison.
The first 3P that KOs the T30 sword but makes it effect part compatible gets my money, or failing that a rotor part that integrates better with the gun and has a decent spin lock like the T30 sword's genius locking point would do.
Fucking spoiled innI?

 

I have two G1 Overlords, Carnifax, both Legends and Titans Return Overlord, and the Iron Factory. I'm trying to be better and not buy everything but you lot make it tough.

I love all of these toys, but I got tired of waiting for Hardhead and sold them, not just the waiting but because I really like the play pattern of TR, and I struggle with keeping a lot of 3P given how many of them have turned out to be utter buggery bastards.

Still have Toxin, and I do miss Smart Robin as that was an excellent fiddle former. Maybe in the future our paths will cross again.

You utter shit. Unfair putting Micros all over him like that.

Crushed Pipe Variant = YESSS!!!!!!!  

 

Okay so if everything goes to plan (which it seems to be) I may have a fanzine available at TFN next year. The zine will be about the 9 Decepticon Demon Generals and Violen Jiger from Transformers Zone and of course any profits made will go to charity. So would anyone be interested in this if it happens?


Also what was the stall next to Toy-Fu at this year's TFN? I just wanted to look but everytime I was there they were trying to sell me everything they asked if I liked Armada I said I didn't and they still tried selling me a Armada Prime

 

quality write up

yes please, loved that show. felt they never got to do more with the bad jumper in the last series

beautiful

 

yip, my family and friends don't understand why I buy toys!

what else would I spend my money on, sensible things like plants and the like! lol

Glad he found you, although he probably loved the adventure knowing him!

 

Oh god, you're so right. The way the torso collapses in on itself is just... *chef's kiss*.

Well, I certainly can't fault you there!  

 

Mentioned to me at TFN by @Raz0rClash.

Now I’m no detective, but....




I’m going to go out on a limb and say there aren’t any “Rocky” conventions going on next year... 

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  

No regrets.

All the best

Well, if you chaps will indulge me a moment of weakness...

So today has been a bit of a one. I'm pretty sure I'm heading down another bit of a depressive episode at the moment, and this morning I crawling back into bed around 11, throwing the covers over my head and just sinking into semi-conciousness and miserable state staring at my ipad. After about an hour of this, constantly nodding off and breathing in the same glob of air over and over, I managed to persuade myself to go sit in the garden for a spell, and then to take a walk (thank god the weather's still good. Don't know what I'll do when it's constantly pissing it down). Made a big change to my mood, and even allowed me to actually do something positive with myself and put in a job application. Nothing fancy, part-time admin work at the library. So much more my speed right now than embarking on some massive career change. Whether or not I get this I think I'll be looking into part-time jobs more now, in order to ease myself back into what might one day be considered a normal life.

Aha yes! Break out the synths and let's have a keytar solo!

You know what, I wish there was a piano in the hotel bar. I can crack out a few odd Transformers themes on the ivories. Would be a jolly lark.

 

Don’t know if you ever head into Londinium much, but there are plenty in St.Pancras train station. Hope the job application goes well, keep us posted  

 

Aw man, every time I've been through St Pancras the pianos have been occupied by people who are far more talented than me. I go red-faced and shuffle away quickly. I'll be honest that I'm by no means a good pianist, but I am at least an enthusiastic one. And while I can't Clair de Lune my way out of a paper bag, I can play a waltz version of the Japanese Galaxy Force/Cybertron opening theme song. So I've got that.

 

If that's the case it seems that they're alternating each year between a G1 voice actor and a G1 musician so who would it be in 2022? I'd love Kick Axe to be there so we could all jam to Instruments Of Destruction like total mad men  

 

@Imperator Sorry to hear that, bud, have you considered volunteering in the meantime? If you have a local easy/inexpensive to get to charity shop or similar? Apparently that can look good to DWP jobsworths, and even one day a week can get you a routine way to be out of the house but with a definite purpose, and an anchor point get you into the habit of scheduling your time.

Meantime it turns out muggins here had only tried out the peg of the "rear" gun, so the spinny bit can tab rather less egregiously (and not at all twizzily) to the front end of the long gun for a bit more bulking it out.


And also, it turns out, make a pretty decent underslung grenade launcher...


..or the Mother of All Bayonet Mounts!!!

 

I'm hoping if it's a TFP theme they'll manage to snag some voice talent from there. It'd be great to have Kevin Michael Richardson (Bulkhead), he's a class act.

Thankfully I don't think I'm that far gone yet. I'm not signing on for the time being, but a part-time job would give me the option to look into getting a second job to fill up the hours, do some supply work (bleh) or look into being more creative and seeing if I can start being self-employed. At the moment the idea of a career seems a long way off, but if I can get the money to keep going I think I'll be alright.

Anyway, here's something fun to cap the evening. MOOMINS!

 

Mate, I don't want to be condescending but unless you're of a current financial status where they won't give you anything, if you qualify to sign on, sign on for what you can get. This isn't coming from a place of arrogance but experience, in my late twenties I found myself out of work and foolishly subsisted on my savings for far too long before taking my entitlements out of a mix of pride and a certain wrongheaded sense of personal responsibility inculcated by my parents' worth ethic. It totally jeffed up my long term finances in a way that still affects my status to this day.

 

I want to say blue beetle - I had exactly the same experience
