    Hahaha- With the tassles, face paint and crazily hyper active- or in the words of the great bobby the brain heenan "this guy makes caffeine nervous"

    Mate, you should turn up to AA dressed as the warrior. Gorrilla press slam some poor unsuspecting cos player.

    Those wwe classics figures look great!
    *edit* theyve made Rick Martel and the Mountie figures!



    Thanks again for skywarp fella!

    I still can't believe that delay was anything to do with Hasbro *UK*... why would they undermine a large client like that?

    Seems more probable that Hasbro INC did it to 'punish' Hasbro UK, or they simply cherry picked stock for the US, thinking there's be a rush.

    But does that mean I have to run into the hall and start shaking random ropes and grabbing at the air ???

    Yes,that would be amazing. Along with ranting incoherently, about "walking through the valley of the shadow of death" and being nasuesos still from Papa Shango's curse....and appearing as a ghost in random mirrors :D 

    Theres got to be some ropes to shake at AA.


    I'll run behind you with the Warriors theme tune blasting out of my phone. Just so you have the right soundtrack



    Have you seen the Warriors reality tv show? Now that is mental.

    I noticed that as well, was quite tempted,
    My little warriors,

    That would be very interesting to see, I'm sure someone would dress as the undertaker for a tussle, oh wait - he's not in costume,

    Andy did you get my E-mail pics and when can we expect wave 5 of prime,
    I quite like 'not knowing if its kup or ironhide

    I was really tempted by the Demolition Man figure in Reds auction. For Ironic reasons, of course.*


    *Brooticus is lying. He loves Demolition Man, and longs to know how to use the three seashells. "Teddybear".

    My Robot Kingdom order has finally left Customs but today it is showing this:

    Tendered for delivery without success because of outstanding payment of charges. The item is being held and the addressee is being notified

    So I am going to get charged. Which is really not making my a happy camper :(

    Sucks to hear that dude,
    Just gotta wait for that parcel force shaped payslip to come through post,
    What I hate most about this - is it adds extra wait for you to get your goodies,
    Let us know how much you get stung by,

    Starting to suspect Robotkingdom's sender address (it doesn't say Robotkingdom) has been blacklisted.


    Next time one of you buys from them, maybe mention it, see if they'll put different sender details on the package.

    Just a random thought.

    Yeah, both of mine were stung over the past week. Only for £7 so it wasn't too bad.

    TRU Australia allegedly are expecting MP10 in October...... UK probably wouldn't be much earlier?

    Used them before - there legit,
    But like Andy said they seem to send in jiffey bags and are not that great at combining orders,
    Makes me wonder what price they got them for and how?

    I already own two vehicons (got way over a month ago) and thought 2 would be enough, but am considering a third, but would like to buy from an actual shop (for a change) just for novalty value,
    Is there a thread about these vehicons (3rd batch from same seller, wonder how many in total, unless the x70 buyer backed out and the seller relisted them in two batches, or maybe the batches controlls how many people buy)

    I'm surprised to see that Andy hasn't sold out on jet vehicons yet - wonder how many he has left as I might go for a 2nd
