    I added retro Zartan for free shipping but that could get changed... I'm fully expecting both to reach Mike in no time but don't want to miss Snakey.

    Like many a qualified ninja, the lad can disappear! I'll hold out for Snake Eyes Plus Timber V.2 still though.

    Exactly like modern Bumblebee because he can't talk and there's plenty of him! :D

    Somewhere between Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Grimlock, I'd say, the not the team leader but the "coolest"/"Badass" fan appealing character, not bad for the guy whose first figure had his already minimal paint apps cut for budget!

    NECA Ultimate Warrior Predator Action Figure Review - YouTube
    :D 

    I'm slightly suprised NECA got away with putting "Ultimate Warrior" on the box like that because all related IP's were owned by Jim Hellwig AKA Warrior after he won a lengthy court battle with McMahon in the early 2000's.

    If he was still with us he'd have sued without question but his missus is probably doing well enough for cash with all the Mattel money and working with the WWE to not worry about pursuing an IP violation in a fairly niche action figure line.

    Luger needs a "Lex Express" bus playset and a Yokozuna figure to not beat for the WWF title at Summerslam 1993 :D

    Seeing more of those new M&S convenience stores creeping around, clearly out to get Pret as the premiere destination for grossly overpriced sandwiches.

    Anyone here know owt about computers? Looking to get a new laptop for my sons birthday.

    He currently has this: ASUS X415EA-EB741TS Laptop, Intel Pentium Gold Processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 14" Full HD, Silver

    which is pretty basic. whats the best we can get for around the £500/600 mark? Ive heard Acer Aspire 5 is a decent option in that price range, but even then there is loads to chose from!

    Doesnt have to have super 3d graphics capabilities, hes mostly into programming/modding etc. scratch, roblox + roblox studio.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated. ta!

    £500-600 is the sweet spot for most people where your not buying trash but aren't starting to pay big money for premium stuff that average people won't need or know they are missing.

    You should be getting around a relatively recent gen i5 CPU, 8-16GB RAM, 256 - 512GB SSD storage and around a 14" 1080p display for that sort of money.

    Can't personally vouch for any average consumer models as I only deal with business models and MacBooks these days, but none of the major manufactures have a notably bad reputation at the moment.
