    Sorry to hear about that man, losing a pet always hits you harder then you expect. :(

    Epic!

    100% I can only imagine how spooky the Bamboo looks at night @Jetbolt

    Heading off on the road for work in ... 5 mins ago... but perhaps tomorrow!
    Have to say my Halloween fairy lights definitely bring the purple to that shot.

    Ahhh, see these lads tricked me into taking pics of him with Zarak, and now he's my special precious boy again. But If I change my mind, you'll be the first in line Mel ;) 

    Not bad!

    It's never easy but having almost 20 years together is a wonderful gift. Treasure that.

    Just received Caravaggio from Omegalock about forty minutes ago and I was so happy...until...

    [​IMG]

    The housing around the head and construction boom arm thing was SO tight that I just couldn't shift it. The tiny nubbin that connects the arm to the white nylon block just sheared right off when I tried to move it.

    THANKS AGAIN XTB.

    That's two for two now for fuck's sake.

    Good thing is...their Customer Service is top notch. If this were FT, you'd be told to just glue it or add floor polish, or something.

    Get onto Omegalock ASAP and you'll probably just get a whole figure replacement.

    Already did. I have a feeling I bought the last one in stock so I hope I don't have to wait too long for a replacement part :S

    Of course, with it being XTB, there's a few other minor issues, but they're not exclusive to my copy from what I've seen.

    If only MMC hadn't made their version of Hauler so limited I wouldn't have had to buy XTB again :(

    I wish! The ramps alone in decos complimentary to other TR Leader & Upwards characters would have been awesome for base play. Only really @Trentulas' Shape ways offer of a customisable 3D printed version of the Hoverboard, unfortunately. Mildly gutted we didn't at least get the board in Daniel colours officially.
    Condolences to the family Sideburns, it may have been distressing but you may be able to have some small comfort that Sooty was with you when passing, I was just reading t'other day on a Tumblr post from a Vet that was urging owners to stay in the room for their terminal pets passing during putting them to sleep, as their owners leaving the room often leads to some confusion & additional distress.

    My condolences. I don't think I will ever fully recover from my own cat's passing. It was like having a Sunday roast as a pet, but with slightly more hair than the student canteen.

    @nice sideburns my condolences. It's never easy losing a pet, they are part of the family.


    Despite my misgivings over his alts, there's no arguing Blitzwing looks the business in bot mode!

    Looking at these 3 together, I regret passing on ER Astrotrain when he was readily available in Smyths. Too bad none of the cheap ones turned up in Game round my area :(
