I'll probably only be able to do the first one if I get Transmutate and Purpletrex as well as the regular one.

 

Preorders? Hmmm, just the one.

Unicron. Longest preorder EVER.

To be honest I've fallen a bit behind and not totally sure I'll be able to pick up all the things I want because I've missed preorders (annoying). It's getting quite tiring trying to keep on top of things though with the utter weirdness of how things are distributed! Making a bit more of enjoying the things I have though - even G1 Highbrow got a few transformations on my desk the other day!

 

You're not joking. We live in increasingly meager times.

I love it when you call me that.

I feel no regret. I feel nothing but pride. That's all I do feel. An empty pride. A hopeless vanity. A dreadful arrogance. A stupefyingly futile conceit.

But at least it's something to hold onto.

A+ erotic fiction. Would fap again.

Happy birthday @Rotorstorm

Sounds like a new age diet

 

For the MOTU Origins fans, there's one Scareglow and a few Heroes on Amazon if you're quick!

 

That reminds me, I found out about these paints yesterday:
MIRROR - the world’s mirroriest mirror chrome paint

They also do their version of the blackest black, pinkest pink, glowiest glow... you get the picture. Some of these are blimmin' expensive for the privilege though.

 

How much customs would Parcelforce normally charge you for a package?

 

@we_are_forest Don't go thinking I'll forget this enablement, just you wait until I get Castle Grayskull  



You'll all just have to trust that the stencil doesn't look this bad irl (super shiny parcel box and my phone trying to facial recognise it!)

 

VAT is 25% of value, and Parcelforce charge £11 handling on top of that, if I recall correctly.

 

Value including shipping? I'll be paying over £40 if that's the case! Otherwise I'll still be paying about £30! I knew I shouldn't have gotten that Gundam...

 

VAT is on goods, shipping AND any customs duty. Whether you need to pay customs duty depends solely on the value of the goods.

If you haven't paid all you owe at the time you buy (so now, vat on goods 135 quid or less), the customs clearance is done by the postal service. They clear it through customs, paying the duty, and then charge you for doing it. That means you go to collect it, pay them back the money, and give them a tip for doing it.

The alternative is nipping to the port and waiting for your goods etc. and clearing them yourself. Not even sure that's possible!

 

I should really check shipping estimates, didn't know that packaging could be so heavy!

 

It starts..

 

Was not expecting a Birthday card from a good friend from school (and Brainstorm!) this card is older than me (by a year!)


May get it framed haha

 

Enjoy!

Didn't get chance to read Skeletor to my lad last night as he was in bed by the time I got back from shopping but he is already asking about getting She-Ra!

Speaking of enablement - that Trap Jaw on Amazon is getting hard to resist...

Pre-orders I hear you all say?
No bots ordered but I do have Lightning MMPR Green Ranger ordered with Kapow! but no update on when it'll be released.
Their website states December 2020 release but I read that some Hasbro things were held up with the recent import delays.

Read the posts about the value of CW Quickslinger so searched eBay for the sold listing - MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS HOLY! How much for a deluxe!?
I paid £20 for mine when Amazon.com had that 'secret' link that everyone was using at the time.

 

I have some 2006 Birthday cards - those were around for a surprisingly long time - at market stalls and such I'll need to check but I recall one of them has Cyclonus on them and they had an age badge on them with the decepticon logo on them too.

Chuck Reviewed the Hot Wheels Wind Raider incidentally :

EDIT : I did a quick Google search and there is a Land Shark as well.
I wonder if there will be absolute swines to get in the UK.

Some other things I found randomly show up made me smile like you can get MOTU character cars too - and there seems to be a Hello Kitty car - that made me laugh out loud.

 

Only Lord of the Rings is epic enough to set the Guinness record with a 150-million-block LEGO build

 

TJ is great, just be careful hooking the weapons to the belt when you inevitably buy him  

 

Gosh darn it!

I could have been all 'look at me, I'm so sensible' with the fact I don't have any TF pre-orders (my local independent toy shop looks to be getting Kingdom so I will buy there if I feel the urge to splurge, but je n'aime pas de Beasts),
but then old Forest face reminded me I have the Warhammer Space marine on order at the cost of 80 quid....yah boo sucks to you man!

Nothing that I regret not getting, with an 'in the country be it real shop or second hand' theory of collecting, my expectations are lower than a snakes belly button anyway.

Laters.
