    That's the real scandal, that the authorities have deliberately offloaded Covid-19 casualties off to and/or back to care homes to lessen the strain on the NHS. A deliberate sacrifice of the vulnerable, and corollary increased risk to their carers and attendants that goes with that decision.

    It's a good job that what they can release in this line is finite, because fuck me running this could've been one hell of a deeper rabbit hole to fall into than it already is. Simply amazing stuff.

    Article in the Torygraph (of all places to be blowing the gaff) where a Hospital Consultant cops to EXACTLY that - shunting Covid cases out into the Care system knowing full well they were "seeding" care homes with the virus. Locations they knew would be unprepared and unprotected. And that would mean deaths.

    If that isn't a crime I have no fucking idea what would be.

    Now THAT'S a sleep mode.

    Nite all.

    And that was read in Prime's voice, but with Obi Wan's inflections. My brain is strange sometimes.

    Sorry to hear about TFN for those who were going. Unfortunate that it was the year Cullen was going to be there as well, but everyone's safety must take priority.

    @CZ Hazard Hope it's nothing serious and you kick that cough to the curb quickly. Had a little tickle cough myself today. Keeping optimistic.

    Well, seems the wife has adopted DoubleClutch into her car collection, so I'm down a Throttlebot figure. Anyone got an idea for what could be used for a scout(ish) sized Freeway? Part of me has been thinking Siege cliffjumper for that alt mode, but his head is all wrong for it. The toyworld ones are full deluxe and probably a little too big for what I'm going for unless I get all of them in that size (which i dont for space and cost).

    Anyway... MY DUDES.

    *Drum roll please*

    CARD UPDATE

    Yes indeedy, I have the quote back on the cards! It'll cost more to print this time but, as I (and by extension you) are such loyal customers the price will be the same! So, expect a message from me imminently. Excite! Having said that, card orders are STOPPED, as the order has been put through. If you want a set next opportunity will be... when Volume 4 goes up for sale.

    Bought the whole 1:12 line so far, even Loot Crate Splinter. Are those the quarter scales or 7"s?

    Got Shredder, trenchcoat Raph and a Footsoldier in QS. Waiting on Casey to fill a particular shelf!
    ...

    Love this set.

    I've been looking at reviews of Ironworks and it's potential for use along with my various Legends and am both intrigued and slightly scared by the possibilities if I got more than one :D

    Hey chaps, I've been feeling pretty low lately so I've not been posting much the last few days. Hope you're all keeping well, can't bring myself to trawl through all the pages I've missed though, so sorry if I've missed anything super important.

    I guess I'm in the mood for new plastic robot men, but there's nothing really out there that has caught my eye, other than Netflix Hotlink which... is out at Smyths I guess, but I already have it preordered at Kapow? Or the Cyberverse deluxes, but they're not available anywhere other than Amazon I think, and they're £21 there, which is mighty steep.

    On the plus side though, I pulled out these old KO guns and gave them a quick spray in silver. They were the first thing I tried to paint by hand, and frankly having the spray cover it more nearly it in seconds far outweighs the ability to do details in other colours.

    Still the best kids show in recent years. My son adores it. We are reading Journal 3 as bedtime reading.

    Yep still fabulous, can't wait for my niece to be a bit older to get her to watch it.
    I'd put Ducktales slighty above because reasons but yeah, amazing.

    You can always go in and do some other sections or details in the other colours after spray painting everything. That is a mighty smooth finish you have on it.


    Studio Ghibli paino music goes really well with these Animal Crossing pictures. Good night friend.

    My special edition Journal #3 with all the blacklight messages and such is one of my most prized (and possibly valuable with what they go for now) possessions. I love it so much.

    Good evening All,

    Hope everyone is well.

    Apologies for being a bit quiet but got an FCA regulatory deadline to meet by this Friday and I will be glad when I submit the return to them as it is causing some stress. Got to hand it to the all caring UK financial regulator, no flexibility with their deadlines in the current climate.

    Anyway, I’ve just ordered the 1 copy of Hotlink they have from Smyths Colchester store. Let’s see if they really do have it.

    Received an email this evening from them acknowledging the order and process for click and collect under pandemic circumstances. For those not sure of the process:

    Hey guys! Long time no see. Just a quick check in.
    Sorry I've not been about on TFW. I spend most of my time on Facebook, for fun and patrolling for asshats to help ToyHax. ;) 
    Lately I've been spreading myself way too thin over many areas. Been having fun getting back into Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance modding.

    Hope everyone is doing ok the best they can with this situation. I've been on lockdown since the start and until at least June it seems.
    Still I've got a bunch of stuff since March to keep me busy too many things.

    TFNation being cancelled really sucks of course but understandable :(  I had the Peter Cullen package too so I'm gutted as I have doubts of him or maybe me attending next year.
    With everything going on I expect I will get a refund rather than a rollover just for security.

    I hope I can pop in a little more and maybe in 2021 we can all be one again ;) 
    Stay safe everyone.

    Mate! I caught a bit of what happened. I'm glad your wife is ok now. Do hope you don't come down with it. :(  Take care of yourself.

    Love going out to all of you that need it. Stay safe the best you can, even as the world falls to pieces around us. It'll still be there on the other side*.


    Probably.

    Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Wave 1 Set of 4 – Megatron, Optimus, Shockwave and Bumblebee were up at In Demand Toys for pre-order but they've been and gone now.
    Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Wave 1 Set of 4 – Megatron, Optimus, Shockwave and Bumblebee

    It was the only way to get Shockwave. They say the deluxes won't be sold in the UK at normal retail. It's a shame as some looked nice but quite small and too pricey I think
