    Given your usual method of er consuming Transformers figures, I am astounded anyone would buy from you :lol 

    Oh man, I love that Rewind and Chromedome in the TARDIS one! :lol  Also er the second photo, till I spotted Rewind's head I thought he was erm peeing against the wall :confused2 

    Also looking at that Tarn and Rodimus I am once again infuriated at the lack of CHUG scaled 3P IDW figures ><

    :lolol 

    I love how well your comment about your race with @doucoo flows into your photo :D 

    So sorry to hear about your Aunt :(  my condolences.

    ...

    You're making me hungry :lol 

    Your story of the 3 Domies makes me imagine you ending up with your original one again by chance :D 

    Ow... I feel for your sister.
    And I know what you mean about not caring about characters till they appeared in the comic. Several of my purchases are because of that xD heck my first Siege purchase was because of that - Ironhide to complete 'Team Windblade' from the first miniseries :D  that was the start of a slippery slope xD

    Moomin is part of Cyclonus' Armada? :eek: 

    I wish Hasbro had given Cyclonus his own team in Combiner Wars when they made him a Combiner Torso. One of my many customisation ideas I might get to at some point is to give him an Armada.Tight now he's got Dreadwind and Blackwing and I may just use them as they're not part of any specific team and I like the idea of his team all being jets of some sort. Might try and custom some more. Tempted to take inspiration and/or names from the RiD Galvatronus toy. Either that or have each component have different elemental themed names what with Cyclonus sounding like Cyclone. We'll see :) 

    Oh man Diabetes eye screening, those eye drops, AAAAH. And I know what you mean about it never seeming any time since you last went!

    Heh, when I have mine done, because I have glasses which tint in the sun and don't have specific sunglasses my Mum - who accompanies me because I use a wheelchair to get about outside the house - usually goes outside and holds them up trying to get them to tint before I go out into the BLAZING SUN.
    Though last time I went it was cloudy :D

    So not up to date with much, but is there any news on Netflix Soundwave getting more stock in Smyths, or was the tiny handful released during Tier 4/Lockdown our fill? Never even saw a sniff of it near me...

    Just read this story on sky news
    Brexit trade problems 'just the tip of the iceberg', e-commerce expert warns

    It seems that we're talking about the vat implications of Brexit in the wrong way. Apparently, the low value vat thing is coming to the EU in July, too, so all these companies who don't want the faff of vat will have to stop selling to a whole continent!

    Obviously it is more likely that they'll get organised for EU vat, because that single admin burden lets you deal with 27 countries, and the UK one only lets you deal with the UK, but still...

    It seems we just did it from the start, rather than in July. The impact will be the same.

    Cheers Big B! Good luck with the hospital appoint, hope it doesn't take too long.

    Cheers Alexa. I made myself hungry. A mid-morning morning cheese toastie is traditional when in mourning. Ask anyone!

    I have often thought I could have ended up with the same one. The second one I bought, the seller was actually quite sweet. They sold it and Rewind together and insisted that if i ever found myself selling Domey on, to send Rewind with them because they didn't want them to ever be parted. I heeded their wishes.

    Swerve, Tailgate, Pipes even hubcap weren't really anything to me before they appeared in comics. But I suppose that is the fate of so many transformers - unless they get some fiction around them, most people aren't too worried about them - unless they have them as kids.

    Cheers, I just got back a few minutes ago and feel OK apart from my vision being a bit weird. The doc said to expect the results in a couple of weeks but also said it didn't look like much of a change in the past year which is reassuring.

    The hospital being so quiet was very eerie but I got in & out before my appointment time so not all bad!

    I've made the mistake of going shopping with the girlfriend, though at least I'm only in the car waiting and found out Celebrations McFlurries are a thing. A nice thing.

    Anyway, here's hoping that GNT TF order has arrived!

    I love the new headsculpts, they look terrible until in hand! Simply moving the original Skeletor one either makes him filled with hateful glee or shit scared! They're genius and very misunderstood.

    Cheers guys and human-badger hybrids.

    Glad it went quickly. I remember having to visit the hospital last year, and it was so empty it felt like the intro level in a zombie game.

    Had a go at the Paleoturion Revenant. I love whoever came up with this.

    OK, I need the Centurion now.

    SIGH.

    EDIT: Wasn't somebody here selling one without the weapons pack? May have been a while back....

    Somebody should do a leader size version with standard ports connection sizes, so they can be viable menaces

    @MyTea Boc,
    That's exactly what the atmosphere in the hospital was like, when I'd had the eye drops I had to go and wait outside in the corridor for 15 minutes whilst they kicked in and it was soooo wierd I started looking for things to use as weapons to bludgeon my way to safety if necessary along with reassuring myself where the nearest exits were....if I heard any odd sounds coming from locked rooms I was out of there! :D 

    @Ottertron,
    The 4th Doctor in that set literally has a new hat! :D
