    I think @SJW meant that the other way around.

    I have catching up to do

    That might sound good at first, but it'll mean the double the expenditure down the line!

    Many thanks for the well packed Jazz in a sea of bubble wrap! Just got him today, and he's taken deskbot status

    More sales, I know some of you like your comics so I’ve got these:

    7C640A37-1C98-49E4-8075-AFCF567D2E54.jpeg

    Start with £3 each but if you’re buying multiple we can work out a deal

    D869A453-ED35-4A76-A867-B0AA6D6EB8B7.jpeg

    Got these too, good reads.

    B6833EBC-E254-4001-A44C-FF82F27D3F4D.jpeg

    Lastly this chap, I did have the box and instructions but has disappeared. Got no space for him so let’s do £40 loose?

    I’ve also got a DC encyclopaedia of the characters and villains not pictured here I didn’t even know that I had if anyone wants that? I don’t think it has a price on it but it’s barely been touched. Yours for £30?

    Cheers guys, probably more to come.

    So does this mean we both have to do a parade in the nude? I'm game.

    True, true

    I call these shots the G2 difference (because in the 90's everything was more EXTREME)

    I think I am on at least Motorthings block list, but maybe I deserved it for something... who knows?

    If anyone wants the Mega Construx MOTU Wave 4 sets Amazon.com have them back up for order (up to 2 months though)

    I have a feeling this weekend isn't going to be a good one for me personally. Might unbox some figures tonight, maybe Pumpkin to start with.

    Wow! And I mean bloody wow!

    Snarl is even better than grimlock. Pulls off some serious transformation wizardry. Reflective eye paint is beautiful. Paint is very high quality, smooth and matches toon shade super well

    Daniel somehow manages to be worse than Wheelie. No waist swivel or head articulation. It would be passable with a knee bend. At least you can reenact the opening of headmasters with his prancing legs.

    Pics of slags headsculpt don't do it justice its got some gorgeous crisp details washed out by photo lighting. Easily one of the nicest headsculpts I've ever seen.

    I have now started playing Uncharted remastered and one thing I've immediately noticed is the aiming doesn't appear to be as smooth as part 4, or it may be because I've not played this type of game for a bit :D 

    Opened ML Ultron a little whilst ago as Rebecca ferret is snoozing under the living room sofa and think he's great, my knowledge of "Kirby crackle" is minimal but it works extremely well here as an effect piece for Ultron's gob. I seem to have lucked out with paint apps and he's nice and shiny. Probably going to pose him holding the Cosmic Cube, an Iron Man head or the mini Shockwave pistol that came with Newage Shockwave.

    I might save opening Gnaw until Sunday evening after the football when I'll probably need cheering up :D 

    Gnaw looks a nice chunky lad and I've got 3 of the TR mould (2 Hasbro and 1 Takara) for him to have as minions. Whilst I've not gone all in with Studio Series '86 the figures I've got (Hot Rod, Scourge and Gnaw) have all been pretty good and I'll probably end up getting Wreck-Gar and possibly Perceptor as well.

    Appendix a: you can sort of get an alt mode out of Daniel that makes him not completely useless. Shame he doesn't have a knee bend

    Hmmmm, that moment when you sell an item on ebay and you realise Sixo has bought it! The wait now to see if it pops up in a review!

    Ooof, didn't even know it had started.

    Trust me, you need him!

    I'll do a review when I get a chance!

    Yeah, the aiming in that first Uncharted is shocking lol.

    This is an odd thing to lead with but no, you're not. But if you were then yes, I'm sure it would have been deserved.

    Up until the end of last year I only had two or three UKers on Ignore, now that list is many, many times that (all the All Stars) and Threads like that one in the week about That Episode added another twenty or so to it.

    I didn't use to have to block anyone - but when the fights you get in just get unwelcome "attention" that leads to bans it became necessary. I've picked up too many infractions for engaging utter See You Next Tuesdays to make that a long term plan for survival.

    That and this Thread having at least one Stukach active.

    If you'd like to go on The List it's no trouble......

    Oooooh, Crasher colours with the Toy-style head could work to give her the domino mask, aaaaand now I WANT it!
    I mean T30 Hoist is *right there*? :p 
    Dare to dream, even of the impossible, after all they once said there'd never be a full-leader set of Dinobots! *Prays fervently to Primus that hasn't jinxed it*
    I've used cold, firm Blutack, a screwdriver-handled alan key of matching diameter, a hammer/hammer-like object, and sheer balls of steel but that has ended with me shattering the knee of a CW Smokescreen before (don't worry, he got bodged better). If you're lucky and don't go so heavy if you manage to find the unknurled end of the pin to bash it can be way easier, as tapping t'other end acts as a force multiplier. Force and finesse can be required, might be worth looking on some actual handicraft store sites for a decent pin-punch if you don't fancy your baptisms by fire?

    Hahaha, no, not looking to go on anyone's list, certainly not on purpose, just had a feeling I was, probably just internet paranoia!
    I think I have 2 on my block list, but I don't often go out and post on the boards in general, and skip the numpty posts.

    Now at the point of missing TFNation and actually meeting fellow TF fans and chatting over a pint or 2... (and avoiding some of them)
