    Pretty much, yes. Once we start seeing it as just plastic, it's much easier. Especially for the money that some plastic commands for characters who were animated for a grand total of 2 or so seasons 30+ years ago, no less.

    Ha, you'd think so but I can't seem to shift the Aerialbots for a while or heck, even the Stunticons some time ago. Hopefully Thomas will be easier...

    I’ve never posted art here before, but on a notion I decided to draw Trailbreaker. I got into art again a few months ago, and have been drawing with my finger on a phone app since. The general silhouette was traced from a photo I took of my ER Trailbreaker, but 80% of it is non-cheaty!

    Thomas will fly. You can probably find Stunticon buyers in the thread here, I see people looking for reissue news... Aerialbots less so!

    I hate orange paint, so difficult to get consistent colour and then it still chips too easily 53EA83BA-871C-47F6-B6B7-A30157F5496B.jpeg

    I’d be all over Thomas but you’d get more money selling at the bastard prices he’s currently going for with flippers :’-(

    Yeah. At a sensible price I’d have your hand off.

    Rewatching generation 1 with the wee one. We've flown through season 1 and just watched enter the Nightbird.

    He's loving it but I must say I'm finding some of this first section of season 2 (which feels more like a seasons 1.5 seen as its mostly just the s1 characters ) hard going. Except for changing gears, love that one. I'd actually totally blanked out Autobots attack and traitor, surprisingly so with traitor as that was quite an interesting premise and cool play around with mirage's character.

    Thanksgiving perhaps? Isn't Black Friday the end of Thanksgiving week, or something like that?

    I've listed him for a bit less of what he goes by on FB and ebay [270 if you or anybody else is interested].

    Would consider slightly lower prices for people here :D 


    Ah Pokemon Gold. The hundreds of hours spent on it back in the day. How blown away I was that it had in-game night and day. New pokemon. A fab time.

    Yup.
    Funny that although I've end up getting most of these games back then (minus Waku Waku 7 and Xanadu for obvious reasons), the only one I've been offered at christmas is Sonic 2 (a glorious christmas. Got this one alongside... Tazmania. Poor thing)

    25 years old for DKC2 and it's still one of the best platerfomer out there. 30 years of Super Nintendo... Man.

    Ah! Where's it listed then? It's not on your sales thread on here. FB?

    Asking for @Ottertron or others, not myself. Mine's still boxed awaiting my shelves going up this weekend. Proud of my 5 weeks or so of resolve whilst a load of decorating got done!
