ID have import stock of Tigertron in stock......at £38 a pop.

As I'm in no hurry to get the White Cat with Tiny Feet I won't be indulging at that price, but just in case anyone wants to skip the wait.

 

How easy is it to transform? Is he import stock?

At £35, just buy him. That's only like 5 starbucks.

 

SG Starscream is fantastic, Goldbug looks great but he hasn't arrived yet.

@Risk Enjoy!  

 

POTP Rodimus Unicronus is shattered glass Rodimus in all but name (and logo on his chest). Don't have him so can't comment on how good he is, but he looks cool.

SG Optimus Prime from the Earthrise mould is pure sex on a plate as far as I'm concerned. Love it to bits.

I'm also using Kingdom T-Wrecks as SG Beast Wars Megatron, who took on a new name when he got stranded in the primary universe to distance himself from his tyranical counterpart (only way I can accept such a uniquely Megatron head on a different figure). I would also use SG Blurr as a G1 style Shadowstriker from Cyberverse. Other than the leaders, I wouldn't get any SG guys to actually be their SG selves, but yeah, they do look cool so repurposing would be heavy. Just a shame their price is bumped up so much, I'd love that Jetfire boot camp commander, but having got Rodimus and Sky Lynx, the commander class figures just feel overpriced for what they give. Even with Sky Lynx only being £60.

 

Still my favourite video game of all time

Had mine on preorder with Amazon US but cancelled it after T-Wrecks satiated my need for a more realistic looking tyrannosaur.. cheers @Ottertron

Was scrolling through and thought, wow, it looks like that man is weighing a hedgehog. Turns out that man was actually weighing a hedgehog.

And now I'm gonna have a bit of a rant;

To the girl I had matched on the online dating app who I had a nice conversation with and then ghosted me when she found out I lived with my mum - yes I live with my mum who will be turning 79 next year, who lives on her own in a neighbourhood that can be rough, who once got 4 lads turning up at her door with knives, and who I have turned down job offers for in other cities. For someone who started the conversation with "I say what's on my mind" to then disappear without saying what was on your mind is a bit hypocritical, and I would say it's less that "I say what's on my mind" and more that "I can get away with doing anything I want because I am pretty and used to be a model". Bullet dodged and probably wouldnt have gotten along with her but still not nice to be ghosted.

To the other girl I have matched who seems like a better fit for me and who I am currently waiting on to confirm the plans she made re: watching a movie, can you not become another ghost plz? I actually think I could get along with you. I would like to message you again but I dont wanna scare you away.

To my tenant and her aggressive rottweiler who used to bark at me all the time whenever I went around, but then I made friends with a few weeks ago and she turned out to be a big softie, who phoned me to let me know that she had to put her down, I am sorry for your loss. I will be around with cookies shortly.



To my other friend who I hadnt spoken to in many years and ended up chatting on FBM for probably over 5 hours, who ordered me a book as a gift which arrived yesterday, thank you. I dont really receive many gifts and of those an even smaller number are gifts of real value, but it's a beautiful book and it was a lovely gesture.



And to my computer who I was trying to tweak and overclock over the past couple of weeks, adjusting settings, stress-testing and benchmarking every day and thought I had finally cracked it, only for it to start crashing literally everytime I moved the mouse - fuck you. I now have to start from scratch. I will tame you.



And to Cixin Liu , thanks for writing The Three Body Problem. I dont think I've binged through 100 pages of a book in one sitting for many years, if ever. Even if you have some questionable views on things.

Writing them all down these things dont seem very important, and they probably arent. Feels very much like I have some teenage level drama. In fact, writing them down I see the blessings implicit in even being able to have some of these things to complain about. But good to get them off my chest I suppose. Yesterday was a day and it left me feeling a way.

________________________________

Finally, a few random questions - stuff coming through eBay from Ireland is liable for 20% surcharge, correct? There's a telescope currently being sold that I would like but an additional 20% would stop it from being decent value.

Is the Shockwave Labs upgrade kit for Siege Soundwave that lets his arms do funky stuff and approximate a tape deck mode available anywhere? I think I have finally decided that Siege is the figure I am keeping.. he is just better proportioned. The pics I took of him the other day were actually ones I was planning to put onto an ebay auction but.. I've been trying to figure out which of the two WFC moulds I want to sell for the past 4 months and they're still both right here in my house, seemingly not going anywhere.

 

Enamel Paint and thinner arrived today - will work on Black Primer - sorry ‘Ultra Magnatron’ tonight!

 

Thanks - I like the Rodimus idea - never been a fan of his but the potp version could persuade me.

 

Will check them out thanks

 

This is me every time I see all yer shelves!

 

I gave you an assist, it closed 50 bucks higher.

 

@GrahamFA

Apologies for terrible pics the lighting sucks

 

class! Thanks

 

Of all the Magnus figures I own and have owned - he's my favourite.

Lucky gal!

Lucky man!

Ouch. This is a time when I'm willing to wait and avoid the wanker tax.

Fuck, that sucks about the dating woes mate. Honestly can't understand why anyone would ghost you for still living with a parent - these days most folks should have the good sense to know it's either to help a parent out or because the cost of renting or buying a place on your own can be ball-shrinkingly awful or - you know - because you just want to? Or 100 valid reasons. Screw her - she watches too many American sitcoms. Hope this new person and yourself hit it off.

I actually started reading the 3 body problem myself last week - only about 150 pages into it so far, but it's certainly an interesting read. Although it feels like everytime I sit down to read it, something demands my attention.

Wow, cheers dude. For today I will hate hate Kingdom Magnus in your honour.
Turns out I'm a fool and forgot to put global shipping on.

 

Red flag right there. Bullet dodged.

See also: "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best."

So glad to be out of the online dating game. I especially feel sorry for the gals looking for a guy, I've heard some real horror stories!

Just continue being you dude. Prepare for the worst but hope for the best.

 

You can always relist it, or sell it to the second highest bidder.

 

Sometimes I miss being single but, in all honesty, at this point if I was, I probably wouldn't even bother dating. Could not be arsed. Having said that, though, I always fancied having a go of Speed Dating. Seems like it could be amusing. I don't envy you @IrnBro , as it seems like it's wall to wall flakes on both sides. Probably much much much worse for women though. You're one of the good 'uns, though, so I'm sure it will pan out for you soon enough. Take T-Rex with you to the next one. If she's impressed, she's a keeper.

 

My wife would say raptors are also acceptable.

 

Nah thats bad form. As long as the winner pays it's his - otherwise - I'll see whats what.

Only thing I miss about being single is having more free-time to myself. But I'd probably spend that time unwisely.

What's her stance on Triceratops?

 

It's exhausting, and people have so much choice that it makes it difficult to make a commitment.

If I had one dating tip for anyone it's this: Be busy. Not in an 'i'm going to play silly games and pretend to be busy' way, but actually be busy. Have hobbies. Fix stuff. See friends and family. Enjoy time to yourself. If you're not glued to your phone and constantly available then it'll demonstrate you're self sufficient, comfortable with yourself, and that you have a life. Then enjoy chats when you can. It'll also filter out the time wasters that are just bored.

 

I appreciate Super 7 adding alternate heads with their Turtles, and I appreciate Hasbro having un-masked heads with their rangers, but really, main headsculpts are best.



Apparently Super 7 are showing off the next wave of Thundercats tomorrow. Just give me a Snarf god dammit!
