    I find that with any scale debate, it's good to keep things in perspective.


    Powerful imagery!

    Aw yeah!

    Autobot clones have landed in the UK and cleared customs so should be one their way out to me soon.
    Slightly cheaper than the ID toys stock so at least that’s a saving.

    Just out of curiosity when did you order the set and when were they shipped by Amazon?

    life in the Covid workplace.

    Her - "My laptop isn't working on Teams".
    Me - "You can borrow mine......
    ...but I have been licking it for the last week".

    Her - logs onto her desktop....


    I have actually reached that point where I have bought so many things due for posting I forgot what one of them was...
    Scraplets...OS KO Sisters.....some CAB stuff...and...and.....
    I remembered eventually (it was Athena),
    but oh dear, what have I suddenly become.

    I blame the damp squib that was the last working day of the week of darkness.

    Laters.

    Built my PC yesterday, had a great time. Ended up thinking I fucked something up when it wouldn’t switch on... turns out the on button cover wasn’t fitted properly, so when I took off the front of the case where the button was, I pressed the actual button beneath and it sprang to life. My dedicated tfw2005 machine is complete!

    I've done this a few times, panicked that I've bricked my box of expensive components, only to realise that I've just forgot to plug the CPU power cable in from the PSU

    What specs did u go for? I'm lookin to upgrade sometime soon , just waiting for the components I want to actually be available

    An image of what @Napalm does every time he gets a new Transformer ever since he got the upgrade... it really streamlines the process ;)

    Thanks Blitz for clarifying those details.

    I ordered on the 26th Sept. They shipped on the 25th Nov.

    I don’t think I’m ever going to understand how Amazon operate in dealing with orders.

    Clearly they don’t work on date of orders placed like most companies do.

    First in last out comes to mind. Lol.

    They will fluff if up by doing the old east to west coast scenic route and loading /offloading between Amazon facility sites to give more chance of the package going AWOL and/or contents being damaged.

    I really wish I knew how the circuitous route scam works, though I have the feeling it probably wouldn't be as feasible to pull off in Tiny Ol' Blighty!

    Yes, only Week 2 of working from home, and I'm already doing the cheeky of sneaky socials - in my defence of the two things I have been trained to do there are none outstanding, or incoming! Some weird, long, dead stretches today after last Weds morning which was manic!
