I love baby driver .. will be watching this as soon as I’m back

 

Shooting my shot here (I know it's a long shot) but I've been fiddling with my Legends God Ginrai recently, of which over the years I managed to track down the upgrade kits for the Head and thigh fillers, Small Ginrai Godmaster figure (the one in the picture below) and the PC-16 Jinrai figure.

Only, the Jinrai figure I got was second hand and was missing the chest piece below and the spare open hands (not fussed on the open hands) I didn't mind at the time as it was a good deal and the seller had declared the chest piece was missing. But later on when I tracked down the little Godmaster figure I realised I couldn't really use it in the combined mode with the trailer as I was missing the chest piece.

I'm wondering if there's anyone UK bound that may have bought the Jinrai figure and had no use for the replacement chest piece, and may have it lying around unused in some baggie that may be willing to sell it for a decent price?



I regularly check Ebay to see if anyone is selling this piece but unfortunately not. I was kinda hoping the set would get KO'd cheap, like the Magnus version, so I could buy it for the chest piece and sell on the figure but that never came to pass.

 

It wouldn't be pretty, but it would be entertaining to see the Maguire types sent packing in tears when it was made clear they actually have to do considerably more than show up for the paycheque and social media clicks in order to justify their position at a big club  

With the club set to appoint an interim manager for the rest of this season giving it Roy wouldn't be the worst move in the world because he wouldn't care who he upset in order to instill some backbone back into the club.

@Siege Fan,
I did see a picture on Faceache of a large queue of people that said "Managers lining up to play United with Ole in charge" a couple of days ago that I really liked, I can fully believe the jokes have crossed all boundaries of taste though  

 

We (fans) don’t want pretty for their (players’) Social Media accounts. Some savage home truths, blood, sweat and tears is what is needed.

If it’s an interim manager for the rest of the season (I mean who is available apart from Zidane whose Mrs doesn’t want to go or Manchester) then yeah agreed, Keane as manager and then every match is a Squid Game for the squad until the rest of the season.

 

Edit found the convo it was @MyTea Boc

Can anyone help, a UK thread member offered me a dag base on here a while back and I can't remember who it was.

 

FYI have all sticker-wanters spotted the 20% off at Toyhax?

It swung me on nabbing the Rotorstorm set, the Botropolis upgrade (though the ramp stickers will likely go on my custom fella), mainly the control panel for Skullcruncher, and a spare Prowl set for greater spare Prowl insurance.

Bebop is missing out the wrong notes for me, it's at it's best when the leads are bantering and/or actually doing the bounty stuff in Live Action but the new stuff just grinds the momentum to a halt, and really is misfiring to me.

Spoiler

Vicious and Julia both getting kneecapped as characters from the outset presented as bullied minions of the Elders, and the women with "added agency" spends her second major scene on her knees begging for her life! The samurai stoicism has been deleted from pretty much every character it seems. The Abusive Relationship plot is as clunky as any Lifetime Channel drama, and without any establishment that either of these characters actually care for each other, or at least appear to have at some point makes it weightless, what is the viewer's reason to care?
It seems the Live Action writing has swapped out the melancholy for sub-soap opera melodrama.
With the simplification of storytelling more & more it strikes me as "Baby's First Bebop", vastly more immature than the OG.

I think at this point I'm going to try to rattle thru the rest of the season with a little more alacrity than I originally stated because the more I see so far the more I just want my giving-this-a-chance period to last as short a time as possible.

One good thing about hating anime and manga is that I don't get upset when Westerners inevitably completely marmalize it.  

I'm currently in absolute shock at Chibnall delivering THREE enjoyable episodes of Nu-Who on the trot AND giving us a genuine cliffhanger again too.

Genuinely thought I'd have to wait til him and Whittaker had fucked off for that to happen.

 

Love it.

 

And seriously, you're missing out on the original.
OG CB, and Samurai Champloo, are transcendent.

On the plus side the Spike/Jet/Faye dynamic in episode 4 is bang on, and the ending well in the spirit of the old series, but, damn, if the Vicious/Julia plot isn't just dead weight. I don't fear Vicious, and Julia has been utterly (and quite poorly) Femme Fatale'ed up.
The writers really seem to be counting on prior knowledge of the show even as they deviate from it, it's a similar thing to the way that Ruckley's offing of Brainstorm in the IDW main was a stunt empty of meaning because it was a clear case of using a Fan Fave for shock value impact - but it's not really that Fan Fave because it's the new continuity version.

 

Honestly don't know what to do.

Spotted it yesterday, and I've got a considerable order to put in. Can't decide if this is going to be their black Friday pricing or if stuff will drop further.

T'interwebz seems pretty divided as to whether or not they might go as low as 50% off.

Dropped them a mail, but no reply as of yet.

 

It's a rounding error, it WAS £17.9999, NOW it's £17.9995  

 

At present the options are so limited Big Ron is probably waiting by the phone although in today's environment he'd obviously need sensitivity training  

It's been said by numerous people who played alongside him that Keane would rather die of exhaustion than phone it in once he got on the pitch, he even treated friendlies like life or death.

That's the kind of player fans can believe in, and that type of character is lacking so very badly today. It might be old school thinking but they need old school more than ever right now otherwise nothing will improve.

If he could pass on the need for always giving everything you can to even a handful of younger players yet to make the first team it'd be a step in the right direction, I think he's already convinced many of the senior players are like shit on his shoes and they would be wiped as quickly as possible.

Maybe as an attempt to cater to today's generation he could conduct team talks whilst wearing the Paw Patrol costume he donned for his grandkids birthday just to soften the image a bit  

 

Sorcery! Lol

 

Not quite sure how I feel about Kaon, he’s very chunky and plastic feels great, the articulation feels lacking though, and he’s prone to bits popping out as soon as something moves. The paint is fucking joyous though, and I get a Junkion vibe from the colour placements. He’s definitely not as awe inspiring as Tarn, not as much fun to tinker with and pose as Vos. But it’s been 20 mins and he didn’t break yet, so he’s ahead of his gun buddy there already. Get a real Energon vibe off him, no thigh swivels, slightly weird joint motions, but given he’s a chair it’s an odd transformation to begin with. Got three of them now, just the two big lugs to go and possibly Nickel and the Pet…

 

Man I fucking love Cowboy Bebop. If you could wear out a DVD like you could a tape, I'm pretty sure my brother and I would have destroyed that boxset back in the day. Finally made time to catch the first two episodes of the live action. Brilliant how they've done it, John Cho bringing excellent charm to Spike. Can't imagine what it must be like for someone who's not seen the anime experiencing this first. Hope it drives lots of new interest to the franchise, can't wait to see the rest.

SEE YOU SPACE COWBOY!

This reminds me, I really want some humans for my TF shelves. Another 2022 goal! I've looked briefly at 1:32 scale, 54mm scale, and 1 Gauge model railway scale based on what I've read about Siege & Earthrise robot mode designs. What do you use?

 

Another day, another very cold walk under a stunning full moon - always seems "wrong" to see the moon still out and gleaming in Sunlight - with an irrascible Raptor and the Magnificent Captain Carter....

She's a looker all right. Could definitely get behind a Cap Carter series. Another one.
