    Mine is listed as arriving 14h december, not yet shipped. I have sold my classics seekers though so the cost of that is covered. Yey!

    Off the top of my head, its in a Cougar MG130 case with an ASRock B450M for the motherboard, two Corsair 8GB sticks, Ryzen 5 2600, (stock cooler) MSI Radeon RX 580, an EVGA 500BR, a few off-brand fans and a 1TB hard drive from Seagate. I have a 256GB SSD coming soon, so it’s not quite finished. As you can see, it’s not very high specs!

    I’ve encountered a problem now, the thing won’t connect to the monitor. Says “no signal” on the screen. It’s an old crappy thing, I’m just running the VGA cable from the monitor to the port on the back of the PC.

    Yeah nothing about these pre-order sales makes any sense. Some people have the medic 2pack and others are still waiting.

    Yeah checked mine and no movement yet so still time to screw up the one I really wanted.

    I can’t fathom why it goes in and out of San Bernardino twice on the California part of the road trip.

    Came home to Bugbite from Kapow, result given some of the comments we’ve made in here around Royal Mail. Dispatch notice on Thursday and arrived today.

    Interestingly, no contact at all from RM via text or email as is the norm. I wonder if they are trying to manage customer’s expectations and not over promise or under deliver?

    Still, another successful buy off @Red leader so a happy camper here :)

    Thank you for the birthday messages, been a quiet day, and hopefully a quiet evening too.

    No robot news today though. (Apart from Transformers on the switch from the missus)

    No trees or decorations for us anymore now we have two cats. They are idiots and cannot be trusted.

    Still not available for the UK yet.

    That Toyworld WWII Cliffjumper looks good but I still can't grasp exactly why Autobots would be German vehicles... :S

    I honestly don’t think it’s a scam at all, just a crap computer program, just like the one used in my work. A good example would be going to the same stop three times to pick up deliveries, then driving past destinations multiple times before delivering. If you know the area you can rework the route to make it more logical, but if you’re relying on sat nav and don’t have time to look ahead you’re going to go round in circles:lol 

    Also, this is setting off my OCD

    Runabout has landed, looks like RM have managed to get things sorted delivery wise. Only 4 days from despatch to delivery :) 

    He's a lovely figure, despite being a delinquent!

    Apparently folks buying PS5s in the UK are being delivered everything from air fryers to cat food instead. So.... You'll be the happy recipient of some unhatched crow eggs and a wham bar. Knowing your shit luck with these sets lately.

    Always useful...

    Our four legged furball isn't arsed by the decorations. My Last cat loved them, but in a 'I'm going to stare at these for 6 hours' way rather than 'fuck your shit' way.

    Understandable.

    That film is everything and nothing all at once. It's a tremendous achievement to be something I both love and loathe.

    I mean, that's what sprung to my mind with ID's "we'll believe it if we see it" stance but who knows?

    Might not be high spec but if it does what you need it to, then who cares?

    You could try see if a HDMI cable works to any HDMI display e.g. a TV.. then at least you know that it's working and booting up and can narrow down the issue.

    Thanks, will give this a read through in a bit
