    Not sure what the etiquette is on posting the user of a post you can't see. Basically I was responding to someone suggesting hasbro should do a wreckers box set

    He just came back from holiday. He seems to have plenty of work, but it's still poor practice to just not reply to emails when you have such large jobs waiting for you.

    Front page says Star Saber is finally backable in Japan. Well, soon...

    If the entirety of Japan was unable to back him before, I'd expect this to sail past 11k, and onwards to the tiers now. He is, after all, a Japanese character!

    "I'll open up your tin pan and drain the wine for my goblet of bone!"

    I've been lucky, managed to get some today, but the pressure of having more BP stations in town than anything else meant we ran dry very suddenly at the weekend.

    But yeah, if it's not sorted around the country by next weekend there's going to be serious trouble. People don't take fuel shortages well. It should be self-correcting already, but I won't hold my breath.

    There's a lumber yard in town where the fella running the desk has literally no fingers on one hand at all. Nice guy, but doesn't inspire confidence.

    There's a fella that runs a secondhand bookshop here in Manchester who has TWO wooden hands. I daren't ask him how he got them.

    Apparently my Mirage/Grimlock set has been delivered from Pulse to my neighbour, and ER Scorponok is due tomorrow :D

    My second black bin arrived today and has already got an Autobrand on it, ready to swallow up any amount of Kingdom boxes that have been lying in the backyard.

    Dipping in again folks, feel free to laugh derisively at me, but has there been any news on when we can expect kingdom wave 4 preorders go up? Or are we still at the 'Hasbro hasn't acknowledged these exist' stage?

    Edit ninjad

    The latter I beleive. I reckon unceremonious late reveals for the last two waves of kingdom similiar to kingdom red alert as hasbro is putting all its focus into the cash cow that is haslab victory saber

    Oh we're past that. We're at the "Fucking Shadow Panther has turned up in random Entertainers and Indie shops" stage.
