    Taxi :eek: . :D  Haha Paul. :p 

    I now know why I don’t do social media like FB and Twitter.

    I’m fairly laid back and relaxed. I’d like to think I’m diplomatic. Being called a passive aggressive little snot seemed a bit far. Can I have a show of hands in here. Do I come across like that? Actually please don’t. Might upset me and hurt my feelings. Maybe I need to work on my social media etiquette. If I wronged any of you in here or were rude/out of line, I apologise for historical things that to date I’m unaware of.

    Ps- I’d give the Haslab VS thread a miss for the moment.

    I can confirm - @Seeaich does a damn good t-shirt design. Still wear it to this day, but it has been transferred into my 'cutting about the house'.

    Methinks I'll have to buy a new one
    Mad sympathy!

    It'll happen one day. When there is no more room on the shelves for space dragons and unicorn elephants... Hasbro will roll out the bendy bus bots.

    Crosswise would be awesome.

    Pure bastard.

    Not at all, your an outwardly aggressive massive snot ;)

    To be fair I reported it to eBay that the listing still wasn’t as described, and provided proof I’d asked further questions about the condition and that this was hidden from me. I’d messaged the seller beforehand to see what I could do without involving eBay directly and the switch was flipped like wow. More bothered about the fact he had my money and that it was my problem. I then reported the seller again for abusive language because…it really was…on the upside I think that I am getting a partial refund at least.

    I don’t want to drag offsite drama into here but I know some of you might have been curious to see what had become of it.

    My rule of thumb is - if someone is asking 'am I rude' it's a pretty sure sign that they haven't been...

    *edit* Ok I left the boat - what a bunch of arses!

    I couldn't agree more :cool: 

    If MOTUO has taught us anything, it's that more things need gimmicks as gimmicks are fun !

    Doesn't matter the size or scale in my opinion, the dafter the better !

    The only exception is possibly when they do it before saying the thing, like "Tell me if I'm being rude or offensive but... *insert horrifically rude and offensive thing*"

    I think that's part of why I enjoy the fans hobby stuff quite a bit, especially Meg Tyranno, Naval Commander and Double Evil - lots of doors and pop out bits and thing to make you make pew pew noises to yourself.

    When you get fed up trying to mix a match and just repaint the opposite side as well as close as you can get...

    That'll do!

    Frankly, I don't think it counts as off-site drama to warn us of a dodgey ebay seller. I reckon name and shame dude so we know to avoid. Particularly if they were abusive.

    Haha. Quite an eye opener for me as I’ve not really got into any spat with anyone on here and I’m not looking to.

    I think you did the right thing. Nothing wrong highlighting your purchase of a TF from eBay.

    Haha.

    I’ve backed that Haslab VS and all I said yesterday was that I felt Star Sabers hands used for VS seemed small and Victory Leo’s legs in bot mode a little on the short side. I’ve always maintained I like the set and cannot wait to have it in person. To be accused of dogpiling and perpetuating disinformation along with some urchin making it more personal with their comment, I draw the line. Using a photo of Jeremy Beadle to emphasise the small hands of VS was unfair to Mr Beadle and those that suffer with Poland syndrome. Using a photo of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool regenerating his baby legs was done for a laugh. I’ve not been rude, kept it civil.

    I’m not that person. Starting to find more of them in this site.

    Absolutely agree.

    You need something from the Alex Ciderson 'Cuttin' Aboot The Hoose' range -



    Septic Tanks mate. Not the sharpest knives in the drawer and not know for their sense of humour or understanding of nuance.

    Between the Haslab thread and the Liketoys Imaginary Metroscamplex thread...YEECH.
