    Ugh. Reeeeeeeally want Fans Toys Thomas, but there’s no fuckin’ way I’m paying the flippers prices. Big items like that are such a pain. I can’t really afford to preorder, tying up a large amount of money for an unknown period of time, but it’s becoming increasingly obvious that’s the only way I’m going to be able to get any of the few big ticket items that I want at all. I have NO idea where most people get their disposable income from.

    @barry,
    It's costing me a fair bit in moichandise but I can't say enough good things about The Mandalorian.

    Is it perfect? No, but it's still bloody good. If it goes pear shaped from here I still have THAT episode with the Jawas or the first episode of this series as my favourite Star Wars media since the OT so it's already succeeded way beyond my expectations going in.

    I've just pictured someone (not you) selling drugs to feed their Transformers habit!

    "You're 'chasing'?!"

    "Aye, Thrust."

    He's a nice figure but he ain't worth that amount of money, no way at all. That being said, he ain't a fiddle-former. Think I've only transformed him 3 times since release.

    Best advice I can give is pay with a deposit preorder and then settle the balance whenever you're invoiced. Thomas had a freakish deposit of nearly 50 quid or so but it did soften the blow considerably. For the FT Stunticon and Aerialbots it was only about 16 quid or so per figure?

    For some bots, I'd say where available save about 20 quid or so per month. Do this for a sustained period and it's a decent chunk to be used towards a big purchase.

    Other than that, it's down to individual circumstances. When I was younger and had less disposable income I sold figures very frequently to buy new ones, etc etc. Most of the times it was at a loss but hey, it's a recyclable income that just nets you more figures which bring joy in the long or short term :D

    I could be wrong but normally it has a ‘normally dispatches in ‘x’ business days’ on a seller profile. I’m pretty sure I set mine to 3, so if I ever get a question like that, I refer the buyer to it. Normally that means I post it on Wednesday afternoon as if they’ve been such a dick, I leave it to the last point possible!

    I had a question the other day of ‘how many steps does it take to transform?’ And my response was just a more polite way of saying ‘have you heard of google?’ :lol

    Probably the blackbird, but as long as it looks better than the Top Gun crossover....

    I don’t know about you, but a voyager-ish transforming Sentinel to army build would be good. I say voyager-ish because anything bigger would be cost prohibitive.


    Nearly got my PC all together. If you haven’t noticed over the past year and a bit, almost every post I’ve made has had good spelling and punctuation. That’s because I’m on mobile. You’ll know when the PC’s built by the massive drop in standards :D

    I think they'll be in IDT too, but they've just put up the generic 'Mando Monday' thing. SAF just said 'fuck it' and announced what was actually going up :lol
