Well I have just discovered a whole new form of torture... the promotion I have been going for is announced today, and in true work fashion they sent out an email saying they would be sending out an email telling me if I passed or not between 1100 and 1300 today. As a result, I am now sat on my sofa, a nervous wreck refreshing my emails every 0.8 seconds....

 

ARSEBISCUITS. I forgot to order the Mandy VHS pack from HMV and now it's bloody sold out.

 

TFP Wheeljack has to be one of my favourite TFs.

There's something about him which makes you keep going back to him and enjoying the transformation each and every time.

 

I know there’s a few Lego fans in this lovely thread so I throw myself on your knowledge/mercy.... where do I look/go to get little Lego mini-figs made, if I wanted one for my wife? She had one made by her best friend which rather sadly went missing from her dashboard when her car went in for repair and she’s wanted one to replace it ever since.
Just wanted to try and get one as a nice little stocking filler for Xmas, if any of you fine folk can direct me to the right place I’d be very grateful.

 

Are you looking to assemble a custom minifig from standard parts, or are you after something with custom printing and the like? For the former, I would source the parts from www.bricklink.com. The latter may be harder for me to advise on, as different firms offer different things. Happy to try to help though. What (or who) are you hoping to make a likeness of?

 

If it's a fully custom one you're after, MINIFIGS.ME is highly recommended.

 

Excellent shots dude. Don't suppose you've an idea of how voyager megs and prime scale? They both look about the same height as their TR counterparts unless I'm mistaken?

Awwww bless.

I think the judge should - as part of his punishment - let Eric have another bash at him.

Fingers crossed for you dude.

 

Was difficult to tell as they look about the same height. Definitely voyager though

 

Cheers old chap, it would appear that I was indeed successful. I don't know whether I am more relieved or just extremely bloody surprised, not really sunk in yet!  

I'm celebrating by watching some dinobot vs decepticon action, ala Rise of Atlantis!

 

Ermergerd Nemesis Prime is incredible.

What this guy said. Used them to make a custom set of figures for my wedding cake and they turned out great.

 

Congrats!!!

 

Gents,

The two that are waiting for something from me, I haven't forgotten, been on holiday with the family, hope to get out this week................fingers crossed!

 

Cheers dude. Just having seen pics last week of Megatron beside Skytread, it makes me think they are at the shorter end of the Voyager spectrum. Regardless they look awesome.

Excellent news! Congratulations!!

 

I'd add Firestar toys to your options, Rob, you might be able to cobble something together without custom printing from the bits they offer.

FINALLY! This took it's sweet time to get here from the US of A!

I won't lie, @barry, bought almost entirely to get 'Ventronik!' which is basically the ACTION! theme from 'The Lepidopterists'!

EDIT: CONGRATS, @Yankee0!!!

 

Cheers very much chaps, rather chuffed, had resigned myself to waiting another year until the next opportunity came up.

Only disappointment is that prior to getting my result, the wife promised I could have the Maketoys Thunder Manus she got me for xmas as a well done if I passed, however on finding out I had done so she quickly reneged on her promise... Clearly she didn't actually think I would be successful!

 

Congrats @Yankee0  

 

Thanks for the advice chaps. I’m trying to get a mini-fig made that looks like my wife and/or a set made with likenesses of all of us as a little Xmas gift.

 

Bit late with this but I've got a smorgasbord of nerdy joy ending on eBay tonight.

Dangit, I’d love a Dark Energon Wheeljack. I’d totally stick a decepticon badge on it to make it Slicer, too.



Well obviously we’re supposed to think it’s Ratchet. Or Rewind. Or Rodimus for that matter. But come on, ain’t no way Jro's going out without one last bait-and-switch.

 

So I went to get my TFP Wheeljack & his mould buddies out from storage & I’ll be damned if I can find the BH remould. I don’t recall ever selling it but it’s possible given how much of my collection has come & gone over the years.
