    Backlog of 50,000 Frieght Containers in Felixstowe alone..........I wonder if my RK Slaug is still in one of them? We could be looking at some serious hold-ups on stuff by year's end.

    And MP Raiden may be CW Combiner sized? At £1K over here that's going to be a spicy sell.

    Damn. A few months back I said CHUG style at MP prices and a few weeks ago I joked in the G1 appreciation thread that they'd cost more than I paid for my vintage set.

    I was kidding TakaraTomy. I was kidding.

    I do. The G supposedly stands for Giant (as well as Gattai and Great), so I think it's false advertising if nothing else!

    Raiden will be the same height as MP Ultra Magnus, smaller than CW/UW Devy, etc. Unless they come with multiple mini figs, there's no way this can be described as giant in CHUG, let alone MP.

    I've officially written off official combiners for MP now.

    Thanks but no thanks.

    They have had 6 months to sort out 1 order I placed and that was in anticipation that the figure was suppose to have arrived at the time of the order. It still says May arrival on their website for the figure. Think they may need to alter that to May 2022:

    This post was just liked by our time travelling companion...

    It's reminded me, time for an update...they've only gone and repackaged them in less packaging. Back available in my local Tesco's! :D

    I love lemon polos, they need to bring them back!

    I'm back, had a break, well I found fifa on the switch and I only wish it was real life because I'm worth 40 million and everyone wants me!

    Oh, and work was busy, boo.

    All good? Everyone OK? Did I miss anything I need to know?

    Went to the GeekyNerdToys sale, love how most of their shit is listed IN STOCK and then you go to buy and is for pre-ordered at a higher price.

    So yeah, leaving that alone.

    I thought it was getting outside my guesstimation for Shabaz's average Parcel per hour speed, and have confirmed by text that I have indeed lost this round of "Oh, SH*T! IT'S SHABAZ!!!" Hopefully better luck with tomorrow's Round 2! :lol 
    Luckily it seems he's more cautious with abandoning bigger packages!
