Hasbro Teasing New The Real Ghostbusters Figures?!?

I'd be more interested if the last line hadn't been £17 a figure without any new articulation. Feck knows what they'd want for something with moving parts!

I like her already.

First Look at Transformers Kingdom KD-12 Rodimus Prime Commander Class?

So if you're contemplating a Rodimus, 9 inches is the pertinent detail. Prime could only manage 7  

 

Something fishy happening with my eBay auctions which I think is going to fuck me over.

My Paradron Medics set has gone from £93 to £88 to £92 to £88 and then shot up to £160. Same with the Centurion Drone suddenly spiking to 94.

I've got a feeling its going to be a case of spite bids sending these sky high and then having the highest bidder not pay and disappear.

Anyone else had a strange history of bidding behaviour recently? Can I report it?

Even by modern standards that is one hand-holding trailer. Mind you, that's what you get when it looks that unfunny.

 

Just taken a look at the automatic bids of both items - does seem odd.  
The bidder with only 10 feedback maybe seems a little questionable, yet all new Ebayers have to start somewhere? I'd still feel wary.

Depending on your desired outcome for these items, maybe offer the earlier bidder a deal then end the sale, if that's allowed?  
Also odd if the inflating bidder wanted that set so much they could grab the other available as a buy it now for £150?

If yours was pushed over the value of theirs - that also could be a thing/concern?   

Bloody Ebay.  

 

I'm sorry I didn't see this message sooner.

Brendan it sounds like your in a bad place at the moment. I know you might feel speaking to a Councillor might not help, but it might help.

Things can always get better. I've seen friends and family come back from some pretty terrible situations, from losing family members to violence, to recovering from life altering illness, surving assault, alcoholism and more. Things can get better, even if it's hard to see at times. And it's not easy. But it's worth trying.

Ive also lost friends to their own hand. And 'distance' doesn't make it easier. For me it was harder. Because I will spend the rest of my days knowing someone I cared for was suffering and knowing I could have been there more for them. If I'd made time. If they'd asked me rather than shutting themselves off. And maybe things could have been different. And it breaks my heart every day.

In the grand scheme of things, yeah we don't know each other as well as I'd like to, but I would miss you if weren't there. Your part of my life mate, everyday I read your words or look at your pictures and they make me smile. Please don't stop being part of my day. I'm not alone in thinking that.

If ferrets are what keeps you going, then you need more. Forever.

Just this week an old friend of mine lost his partner to suicide. And hes a broken mess. Her family are suffering. And I feel terrible because I can't comfort the guy.

The world needs less of that.
But it needs people like you. You can always drop me a line mate if you need to talk.

 

Just an occasional tourist in the thread, but please don’t. If hope doesn’t get you through, try spite. Whatever powers in society that grind nonconformists down and would benefit from your loss, make them fucking cry. After your ferrets there will be other animals to care for, your niece will need you in 2050, 70 also and besides her, you can’t possibly calculate your sphere of positive influence upon the world.

 

I didn't realise Mickey Rourke played Thanos.

 

Makes sense since Afterlife stuff is in limbo.

I will take Peter, Winston, Egon, Ray, Slimer and Janine with a Stay Puft BAF please and thank you.

(Please be true! With Super 7 doing TMNT and Thundercats, Hasbro doing Power Rangers this is the last other franchise I want modern figures from.)

How/where are you watching Boss Level?
I had a quick look to find where it's streaming but came up short?

This fabulous specimen arrived yesterday courtesy of @Apollux:



Sent on Friday 2nd class and arrived the next day - Royal Mail weren't messing around!

I've been after a CHUG Cyclonus for so long. So happy to finally have him.

 

Spoke to postie yesterday, he said the pandemic spike in parcels was now permanent and even the bosses had realised it was 'shift them or move somewhere bigger'. From what he's hearing they're really gonna focus on parcels like never before, especially since any delays results in even more admin one way or another.

 

Considering we are still in Lockdown, I wouldn't have expected the spike to drop yet. I still really dislike the general feeling at the minute that it isn't lockdown, things are back to normal already. The number of visitors around at the neighbours yesterday was getting silly.
And don't get me started on the number of parents that think it is a good idea for their children not to be tested at school next week...

Still I have a steady stream of parcels both leaving and arriving at the house. Leaving last week included TR Hot rod, Kup and Blurr... which means I have an excuse now to open the LG versions!

 

This is one thing that government can't win with. Try and give businesses and schools time to prepare, individuals see that 4 week period as a free go, get accused of allowing it. Don't allow idiotic people chance to fuck it up, give business and schools a minor heart attack, get accused of blindsiding business and schools. A true lose-lose with no right answer.

Oh yeah, there is... people should stop being dicks!

 

Know what you mean but there was no let-up whatever version of lockdown we were in here, RM used to tell staff members what the job was that morning, now you're just either sorting or delivering. There's actually two guys doing parcels here in the afternoons where one of them normally did letters. Separate guy for letters now. And RM do not like spending money lol.

Tesco is literally round the corner from me, but short of obvious times it's almost empty and the delivery vans are everywhere.

Even the always packed discount stores (about the only other thing open in NI) aren't so busy. I'm pretty certain people have changed their habits at least for the foreseeable.

 

I think everyone talks from personal experience. If I go try do a Tesco shop on a Saturday (as still no delivery slots available) then it can be complete chaos. 3 weeks ago I had to try this and the car park was like it was Christmas time with full families in there going for their shop... but that could also explain the rate going up in Yorkshire!
Going past the new B&M that just opened and it is the same - car park full.
Go for a walk on a weekend, the playground is overflowing with children and parents...

I have no doubt this will be so much better come summer, I just wish people could wait that little bit longer...  

To put my retail therapy into a picture... (I already had Max)

 

awesome collection
