    Eternia was already broke enough after paying royalties to Conan and Prince Valiant.

    I'm going to assume you mean 'careless' and everybody acted as fast as they could and there were no prior reports or wrongdoing earlier.

    Just got a message from Evri saying they have a parcel for me.

    Should all go well it means either Newage Ironhide v2 or Masterverse Hordak is imminent but seeing as it's Evri, it's squeaky bum time :eek:

    Ugh. Just booted up star trek online for the first time in a month. Seems they dropped the end of the current story arc in that time. But they must have done some software changes to the game because my graphics tank now. Playing the last mission, i was like 2 frames a second for parts of it. Makes the game unplayable. At least i managed to get to the end of the story.

    And how do we beat a god powered wesley crusher? We literally call his mum on him.:lol  :lolol :gen069: :stick: 

    Need to shuffle funds and see if i can get that new pc sooner.

    @Siege Fan I think I'll have to pass on that Black Canary. Did some research into the figure and between it looking a bit bland, and it apparently is 7 inches tall and therefore would loom over my Marvel Legends a bit too much, and doesn't have the excuse of being an Amazonian, I just don't feel like taking the plunge.
    Got anything else to offer? :D  If all else fails maybe we could work out something with this 'money' thing? :)  I take it you're trying to assemble the BAF yourself?

    She's definitely 6 inch, I customed one for a Robocop VS Terminator display which is the only reason I know that off the top of my head lol (I'm not getting any younger)

    Let's see, I've got a Marvel Legends Dark Star, or this lady minus the effect pieces

    Or I could maybe swap you a load of pieces depending on what you need, I've tonnes!

    Hi all. Apologies for beimg awol of late - I'm fine, just tired. I'm recovering well, but I do have to keep reminding myself to take it easy - I am regrowing a major internal organ after all!

    I have an oncology appointment on Friday so I'll hope find out how successful it was then, along with future treatment plans. Fingers crossed...

    Toywise that Azbats figure is amazing, isn't it? I need some Reign of the Supermen ones to go alongside it

    Dude, you have nothing to apologise for! We're all just glad you're doing fine :)  <3 And yes, take it easy! Best wishes for the appointment on Friday!

    I've never understood the whole 'filthy casual' mentality... so I play a game to have fun? Why's that bad? Isn't that what games are for?!

    Oh and just to be clear @Siege Fan , the BAF part is yours even if I've yet to be able to figure out what I want in exchange for it. My apologies for that, I've been having some tough mental health days this past week and not really had the energy to give it much thought.

    No probs, and thanks!

    Yeah, a game's a game in my eyes. It's not like I'm any different firing up old beat em ups over grinding through some overblown 'epic'.

    Evri are apparently delivering my parcel between 12:30 and 1:30 so I'll keep an eye out for the sandcrawler and see if they try and palm me off with a droid that's got a bad motivator ;) 

    @Toadimus Prime,
    Glad you're continuing to make a good recovery, take it easy and all the best for the next appointment on Friday!

    @Siege Fan,
    Dominik Diamond! king of the crap double entendre! :D 

    If not spending hundreds of pounds on a steering wheel, foot pedals, a special chair, a gigantic TV and fucking driving gloves just to play a racing game makes me a casual then it's a fair cop Guv.

    @4249david,
    Eriksen out until early May! :eek: 

    Time for Fred to step up....very squeaky bum time! :D
