    Near sh!t myself there because the wooden beams and bricks look exactly like my parent’s attic, same with the big empty box of Huggies nappies. Then I noticed the other boxes and realised it wasn’t my dad on TFW at last! :lol 

    I’m the opposite, Warhammer and Pike-and-Shotte are easy enough for me, a plane model would put me over the edge and in a looney bin.

    Anyone had any luck with finding someone who can give big discounts on a bulk order of aftermarket kits - I would like to buy at least half a down Siege Megatron forarm covers and it seems a bit silly to pay retail which would be $60 or so.

    Anyone got any suggestions on who to approach to get a load cheap ?.

    Some mates of mine are wondering if Scott will just rinse Seagal. You know it will be the best thing Seagal has done in the last 20 years!

    Didn't get to paint my SS Blitzwing today as I've been running around like a blue-arsed fly trying to get paperwork together for MY NEW JOB THAT I START TOMORROW!!!

    I can't tell you how fucking relieved I am that I finally got a job after being unemployed for over a year AND it's one in which I have absolutely zero contact with the public. The hours are long - 7:30-7:30 - but it's 4 days on and 4 days off - and we don't know exactly how long the job will last - I'm packing and sending out Covid tests, so a few months at least. I get paid weekly too, which is nice.

    I'm so incredibly relieved and I can't wait to get paid and buy MOAR ROBITS!!!

    I think he's a bit too showbiz politick/spirit of the dojo/chop-socky film fanboy for that to happen. I really enjoy his respectful fanboy approach in all the prior interviews but this one will likely make me too queasy. Lemme know if the rinsing happens!

    A full bodied waverider? Sail that bad boy into my mouth!

    Excellent news Paul! Chuffed to bits for ya. Hope the job is to your liking.

    So random request - anyone have this guy and looking to off-load him?

    And in other news, oh lordy lord smokescreen is exquisitely formed ain't he? After been disappointed with siege prowl, this really has raised the excitement levels for Bluestreak and prowl.

    I read this and wondered as I so often do, “what did [celebrity from twenty years ago] do now?” And good God, I made the mistake of googling Mr Seagal. He’s a... fella, isn’t he?

    It's an outlier to be sure but, until it's dashed by Reality, one can dream!
    Well, to be honest I'm just still jealous he bagged Kelly LeBrock, then left her for an 18-year old, but for 'Steven Seagal and his band Thunderbox' alone the man deserves as much torment as he has inflicted on the world! :p 
    But seriously, yeah, like just a horrible shit example of a human being, and the absolute WORST advert for Buddhism!

    @Ottertron,
    Great news Paul, hope it goes well tomorrow!

    @DaftRaider,
    All things considered I'm glad I got lucky with the pre-order at Star Action Figures as I don't think I'd have felt entirely comfortable paying Figuarts prices for that character.

    Agreed. I like the Armorer as a character, but she's not really 'premium-tier' figure material just yet... :lol

    I've ordered a replacement Super Megatron - it's too awesome to have in my collection as anything but complete. Anyone want to buy my (barely) broken one at a discount? This guy is *so* close to MTMTE Autobot Megatron he'd make a great custom - the broken bit just forms the front of his weapon in Ultra Megatron mode.

    It's the panel that forms the front of the cannon in handgun mode - it's painted red with three red dots

    I'm tempted, but not sure if it would bother me too much that it's broken. What are you thinking?
