    I think mine has gone even more yellow since I last posted that Picture..but it's still okay as it's aging at the same rate so doesn't quite look odd yet lol!

    I am shockingly just watching for the first time ever Episode 2 of G1 Cartoon...the animation ranges from absolutel carnage to really quite lovley! Such a mixed bag :lol 

    As a previous Animator I find the random changing of gears from one colour to another an absolute hoot..lol..someone dropped a clanger there!

    Am I red or Blue?

    Its pretty strange that I only now am I finding out more about some the G1 characters I have bought toys of but literally know nothing about. Hopefully it will give me a better knowledge of the history too. I am going to watch a few Eps each day and then do all the others in order :)

    Still no sign of Velocitron Wave 2 but I'll keep an eye out! Found listings for both the gimmick (mainline?) and Studio Series ROTB figures however.

    Hey folks - my wee lad is showing an interest in Pokémon cards (all his pals are trading at school).I have no idea about Pokémon at all. Like nothing.

    Anything I should watch out for/avoid/look at? I don’t even know where to start with what to get him first - like a starter pack from Amazon or grab something second hand from EBay?

    I don’t even understand how the card game works or how to tell real from fake cards.

    Any help appreciated from anyone who knows about such things!

    "We've got your GAME parcel" says EVri. Probably the most exciting and terrifying message at the same time.... :eek:

    Why does "Evri got your package" sound like a demand for ransom?

    Tarn and Leo came!! After having Kultur for so long, this guy feels a bit shrimpy and small. But he is a fine figure. Tarn was shown to be smaller than Megatron, so he's a more chug appropriate scale. If megatron is robo-Stalin, my head Canon is Tarn is robo-putin.

    Articulation is great.

    FIND. KILL. CLEANSE.

    Be aware that the dvds had them in the wrong order. There's a proper episode list so that episodes aren't out of order.

    If that matters, for a 40yr old cartoon, of course!

    Ditto. I've also found the random aspect is not actually 'fun' and indeed I've had some very stressful experiences involving the random aspect of it all. Going forward I'd rather just buy specific figures on eBay or Bricklink than throw money away on hoping to get a fig.
