so, I got a few parcels today, stuff I ordered from Smyths after giving into temptation (Thanks for that @Prescient!) finally got myself Fasttrack, and I just had to pick up the Lanard Alien Collection Queen. I also took my first dip into the The Corps! buy purchasing The Corps! Battle pack. Honestly I feel a little let down by the Corps toys, they can't hold their weapons, the vehicles in the pack must have shrunk in the wash, and it feels like a cop out to have two near static figures, not to mention having three of the hero figures being T-crotch figures, obviously from an older line. BUT the Rest of the Guys and Gals have good articulation and I like the RoboDog.

also, Volcanicus turned up.

 

I know it's commonplace but I hate that the go to aesthetic for making things look 'grownup' is to get rid of colours in favour of BLACK :-/

Looks to be the LEGO Drill setup I made for my Miner Megatron which @Seeaich has since run with  


Oh and thanks for all the best wishes for Ali Express xD

 

I totally will! Er...

I only kept the skulls, base plates and TJ from these sets, want the rest delivered for a tenner?  

 

#Team Ottertron. Wreck Gar looks ace.

 

Stirrer!  

 

Would absolutely buy fire rod but Takaras selects line seems to have died already.  

 

I am not sure if this made the news, but I recommend looking into it.

England’s NHS plans to share patient records with third parties
55m patients have until June 23 to opt out of having their health data scraped into a new database
"

The .docx with the Opt-out form is available here. You can email it to your GP directly.

 

A little while ago I posted about a friend who was looking into an obscure 90's snack brand. Long story short, he's managed to find some kind of tape distributed to retailers and popped it on YouTube. Not sure if anyone here would have any extra info on it (it seems to be a US company), but I thought I'd share anyway, out of curiosity more than anything else  

 

What has the damn government gone down to these days... can't even trust hospitals. This is only in England, right?

 

You knows it jobin. SUCK IT NAYSAYERS.

 

You can fill in an online form too.

 

Anyway, soundblaster balance was paid today. I was beginning to think he wasn't going to turn up. Now buzzsaw when?!

 

Oh

then.

Drop me a DM with details and I'll sort out payment tomorrow.

 

Hmm, that's blown it for me, I had been intrigued but it seems whoever's put that together hasn't got the editing skills to get a proper vintage video fuzz/distortion on it, just a bit too clean seeming.

 

I paid the balance on Mercenary Soundblaster today with IDT. The order was originally placed back in Oct. I didn’t think this one was going to happen so quite a surprise getting an email saying they will receive stock next week.

For those discussing the NHS, this link will help. It is naughty the way they have done this. You are automatically opted in and given nobody has been written to asking if they are happy with being auto opted in, they would be none the wiser. Whilst I’m sure the sharing of such data can help with research, it’s how secure the data is with the shared companies. Who is responsible for any data breaches? The third party or the NHS. As part of GDPR, I have to get clients agreement to holding their data on my systems. They agree to what modes of communication can take place and how their data passes. The NHS have made the decision for everybody that your data will be shared without consulting you. They could at least get GPs to make contact with patients registered with them to get their written consent.

Make your choice about sharing data from your health records

 

Yeah, someone else in the comments isn't convinced either, hoping someone hasn't been sending him round in circles, he's been working on this for a while.

Charity Boy missed a golden opportunity at 1-1 in normal time but had pundits making the usual excuses because he's a young English player and does the aforementioned charity work. De Gea was absolutely useless in the penalty shootout, not saving any and then missing when he had to take a kick himself.

Fergie should have nutted Ed Woodward who was stood next to him in the stand as that'd at least have made the evening memorable.

Toys,
I think Wreck-Gar's pretty good apart from gappage on the inner thighs and the saddlebags for the bike mode which is the kind of thing that's an ongoing issue for me because main line toys are in some cases more expensive than 3rd party despite being full of shortcuts or cost cutting measures like that.

 

Where would one aquire these sets good sir? I need a fisting fist-o

Keep the faith dude. They seem to be few and far between, but they still seem to happen.

 

True, I mean if anything they appear to have evolved into an ancilliary part of Hasbro Selects. Heck, Volcanicus & Abominus have just landed, yeah?

 

Exactly, and I can't help but feel a golden Primus repaint of Commander Class Rodimus is in our future.
