For all of you wishing to opt out of data sharing personal medical info with NHS Digital (to open up the data to universities, researchers and pharmaceuticals) the form to do this is in the link below:

https://nhs-prod.global.ssl.fastly....lanning-and-research/type-1-opt-out-form.docx

Apparently you can verbally confirm to your GP practice you are registered with to go with a Type 1 opt out but I’m also giving them the completed signed form so they can put on file. A phone call or verbal confirmation can be omitted and not added to one’s file.

Deadline to properly opt out and notify your GP practice is the 23rd June. Can get this in before. Data starts being shared from the 1st July.

 

I did, and they'll hopefully neatly solve my issue of host bodies for the deluxe set heads we're no doubt getting!

 

was £70 also on kapow before they sold out recently. they did have them on offer there for £65 a few months ago. i got a set back in feb for £58 on amazon, but not avilable there any more.

*if anyone is interested/unaware, you can get 5% off collectable kingdoms (who have the 3 pack) by joining the transformers unlimited uk/eu facebook group, which would at least take care of the shipping

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

 

Hey folks,

Not been posting much, been going through a bit of a rough one!

Anyway, big longshot, but does anyone have the trio of earthrise cone heads for sale? If so pm me!

Hope you're all well, much love!

 

I definitely miss the con crew, even longer for @Decepticreeps100 too since I think his last one was 2018?

may be longer if next year I still have loads to sell as I may have a booth. May just ask Spacebridge to cone pick it all up

 

It's an Aliens kind of day. And TFC Rolling Thunder Prime has a vaguely APC quality about him.

I told you guys.. remind me not to get the Lanard Alien set. You failed.

 

That video is incredible, proper bit of collecting history. I've said it before, say what you will about the film itself but the RotF era was a golden age for TF toy fans. I don't think we'll ever see a toy display like that again.

 

Just once I'd like to get through a day without it becoming some kind of hentai nightmare.

Hope things are a bit better for you dude. Good luck with the conehead hunt.

 

Yer that was the end of a great TRU era for TFs, I recall getting early access (the night before) to the display in my TRU for it so it was freshly set up and before customers were buying stock.

This was front of house too. They still had the shelf spaces allocated to the other TF series and remnants of previous movie in the main toy area.

 

Alright. Poll threads are up. Man, that was more legwork than I'd anticipated. And if I ever do this again, please remind me not to do UK sports based punditry as a gag.

 

1. Hope the morning improved by lunchtime.
2. Is the AliExpress order of interest? Where / when can we expect pictures? Yes. I am nosy.

 

Yup. A good selection of Animated, Classics, and movie stuff, all on a shelf, just ready to buy.

 

BeeDee! BeeDee! BeeDee! Stamp! Stamp! Tentacle! Stamp!

Thanks! He's going to be a mix of Flatline and the black Diaclone Ironhide. So, an evil Ratchet, more or less?

Squid versus dog. Worlds apart, need to meet. Hybrid offspring, best of both. Fetch stick, brandish in tentacle. Hurrah!

 

...and thankfully my SW figures showed up today despite being shown as delivered yesterday. Also nabbed a Boba Fett from the local HMV. For something I'm not actively collecting I've gone from 1 SW figure for 3 years to 5 in the span of 2 weeks.

Had a bit more time with Rattrap and Dinobot and...yeah, they are nifty but don't do much for me. I do like their stylised approach but Dinobot doesn't appear to tab together great in raptor mode [common complaint in his feedback thread] and Rattrap is one shoulder locking joint away from being decent. If you can splurge for a ratchet joint on his mouse neck at that scale surely you could add half a milimetre of a tab on the shoulder posts.

I could see myself going for the Maximal team [altogether for less than MP Dinobot costs by himself] but the reviews on Cheetor's plastic are not great...

 

Sorry for the belated reply, but many thanks all - even if my bank balance is now hurting. I didn't take much convincing, to be honest, and then Earth mode Sideswipe pushed me over the edge. So I now have Mirage, Sideswipe, Huffer and Trailbreaker inbound. (I also threw in an Arcee to go with Hot Rod; I'm on the fence about Kingdom Ultra Magnus.) I may hold out for a while to see if we do get an Earth mode Hound, and have my fingers crossed for the rest of the Minibots to complete the S1 cast. The tough one is Ratchet - £200 on eBay, what the-?

(If anyone wants Beast Wars Grimlock and Skywarp when the time comes, let me know, since I went for the Earth mode two-packs for Sideswipe and Mirage and have no attachment to or knowledge of the beasty stuff.)

My local Smyths is over an hour and a half away.   Fortunately Kapow still had TB in stock.

In-ter-esting. I do really like the Ironhide mould, so I'm hoping to be able to get Earthrise Ratchet, but not at £200, so I'll keep an eye out for what this turns out to be - thanks.

And argh, this hobby has got even more expensive since The Mandalorian and my son encouraging me to watch The Clone Wars...
