    The takara strongarm has all the paint aps needed, she goes great in a classics display. Well worth tracking that version down if you want her. I think I'll repaint the rid soundwave as soundblaster. Maybe get a steeljaw at some point, he was a favourite character.

    Twin room is two single beds, double room would be one double bed.


    I kind of want that toy coloured Blackarachnia to swap the spider legs and feet with the standard Kingdom version..

    That's per night, right? Seems reasonable, although I don't have much experience. Would you happen to know whether the discount applies to just thw TFN weekend or the Friday and Monday as well?

    I've seen plenty of the set already, I just want to know when/how/if us UKers can get our flippin' mitts on the set (without having to ship internationally our own selves)! *GNASH* WAIL!*

    Preeeety sure it’s just for the TFN weekend. I could be wrong but I’ve always gone down on Friday and left on the Sunday.

    Sounds like a plan, just remember…

    My favourites from that series are all the non-standard, beasty bots. Transformers could do with expanding the range of bot modes in that direction.

    *Throws it in the bin.*

    With both in hand, Galvatron 100% if budget constraints...

    I disagree. You should always buy the one that’s harder to obtain first. You can pre-order Red Alert from AllTheCoolStuff for £18 now and buy Galvatron later when you have the money - perhaps with fixed shoulders and on discount. But if you don’t invest in Red Alert now, you’ll be paying double or triple for after market prices later.

    Can't argue with that logic.

    I had however assumed a permanent finite budget in this request so it was very much a one or the other.

    @Gumblor Gimbles if my assumption was wrong then Red Alert now and Galvatron later.

    Thanks for the numbers, and for the link :) 

    And he's a pirate to boot!

    This! More beastly alt modes, but also more humanoid-ish altmodes. Robo naga, mermaids, centaurs, bots with multiple arms, Airachnid with her drider mode, etc!

    So Parcelforce are a bunch of dicks. They supposedly tried to deliver my fans hobby Double Evil on the 9th of July, which I missed due to dialysis then again on the 12th. Which I missed again as I was Dialysing now they're holding at a depot for collection, which sucks as I'm mobility challenged and to get down to the depot to pic it up is not an option for me right now.

    The final indignity is I would never have known it was in the country as they never left a bloody contact form on either of the days they supposedly tried to deliver. I only found out because I chose to check parcel tracking on a whim.

    F'ing Parcelforce:mad:
