    Created an account when I was 12 in 2007, probably lurked a bit before that. Its been a long 15 years :p 

    Does anyone else remember the group we had before this thread was created? I can't even remember if you can still access it, think it was through your profile or something?

    We didn't really have a group before this, we basically chatted in the UK sightings thread. People were getting annoyed that actual sightings were being lost in the chat so @Boardwise started this thread!

    F4005A02-C183-40F3-8DC0-A23B20447264.jpeg F84A9BAD-3BB2-465D-9F04-8F98ABF0F5C1.jpeg Skyfire arrived just in time for Christmas and he’s a beauty of a figure.

    Not convinced he’s completely passed all the tests on the QC side though. Torso doesn’t seem to tab into the waist. May just be the way it’s designed, will have to check some videos.

    With Gears and Windcharger just revealed the other day and a Sideswipe re-release on the way, I’m closing in on a complete Magic Square Arc crew.

    I look at my Newage crew and have similar thoughts. The speed and quality of these lines is amazing. I think I am only a toy version of the insecticons and Scourge away from my Decepticons being complete.
    Autobots is a different story: Inferno, Grapple, Ironhide, Ratchet (all due out soon), then it's Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Windcharger, Seaspray, Cosmos (EX), Hound, Trailbreaker, Hoist, Tracks, Gears, Wheeljack, Warpath, Huffer Skids, Slag, Swoop, Snarl, Sludge, Hot rod, Blurr, Kup, Blaster (to go with Straxus)... ouch, that's a lot of Autobots! (Plus any I missed!)

    In terms of this board, I only came here as the [email protected] boards were dying (despite the new! live action film coming out). That was a nice little UK forum... was interesting moving here to say the least.

    I was here first, then found [email protected] during the Armada/Dreamwave era, mainly to get the G1 eHobby repaints, but loved the board and the guys, used to have pub meets and run RPGs etc, great times.

    Then lurked here again after that boards demise for a few years before posting more during the pandemic.

    Yeah there was a group with Locustreign (?) That was made so the Sightings thread would be cleared up but ultimately that didn't work either

    At this point i think you'll struggle to find anyone who's interested in the lesser 2 at full price. But, give it a bit of time, there's loads of this set about so its a prime candidate for a big discount sometime soon. It was being sold at half price in USA recently.

    You're Spartacus.

    Or as we say in England, you cannot play god and wash your hands of the things that you have created, sooner or later the day comes when you can't hide anymore.

    I know there's a hard mix of that but I cannot find it! Anyway you're awesome.

    Too kind. I'd be more comfortable being called the distended rectum ;)  its a more truthful assessment.

    We did tell you. Stop jumping on the furniture!

    Can't pretend that thought hasn't crossed my mind this last year. El wife being on maternity leave has been hard.

    Hope you guys figure something out soon Mr. Burns.

    Life oddly feels hollow now knowing we never got a trilobite comic.

    And to you my friend. I too often melt kitchen ware to be called wise.

    Nice work!

    To be fair, screenwash is sooo hard to replace. Nearly as difficult as pouring a cup of tea and scratching your hole at the same time.

    My aunt gets seasonal affective disorder this time of year. Light therapy helps. Hope you feel better soon alexa

    Rumour is the post-war tribunals for war criminals was too harrowing to watch.

    He's a frackin' cyclon.

    Wow. Did not expect that.

    I will one day finish the trilobite comic. Just as soon as I find time to polish the script. And an artist...

    (It was the first issue of a series called Jeremiah, Monkey For Hire, featuring a gentleman detective monkey. Alas, much like so many of these things it fell through)
