.....

You are scaring me now....


(locks doors and windows)

Most likely have seen you about, just hope you are not the weirdo I spotted in toys r us the other week.. old guy about 60.. no shoes on, fiddling in the girls toy aisle...

Think staff asked him to leave..

 

My Surface wont load it - takes ages and then errors - which maybe a good thing for me and my drunken ordering sessions..

Worth nothing though Morgan - windows RT 8.1 IE

I have had a parcel tried to be delivered today and I have NO idea what it is..

 

No mate not me, I've got a bald head, goatie and shoes on.  and avoid girls toy aisles. I take it you don't live in an APL house then, or you'd know me.
What lines do you collect then?

 

I honestly don't think there is a more fun Transformers line than Animated. There is no other series whose toys I transform more, or enjoy taking photos of this much, and is as faithful to the source material.

It's the expressive designs and actual character on thier faces, rather than the stoic expression of other lines.

 

@maz - even when ill you still knock out some crackers.

I miss animated. Prime was a decent enough replacement but animated was all manners of fantastic and deserved to last longer.

 

As I said the other day I hope Hydrodrive Bee gets used as a FP Botcon or club toy sometime. He'd be nice to see in a Hasbro boxed set too - if Hasbro can be bothered to release anything animated related for the 30th Anniversary at all.

I eagerly await the Black Rodimus pics...  

 

Okay chaps, 3 things -

1. Yeah the MF site still sucks for some people. It's because it runs on HTML 5 which is very heavy in terms of resource usage and some devices just can't handle it   If there's anything you need, you're more than welcome to message us on Facebook or email directly to sort out purchases. Not ideal I know, but I'm looking at other options for the site but it means more than doubling the overheads at the very least :O

2. Don't panic, Kapow are still selling third party stuff!

3. As above, y'all don't need to be worrying about where to buy from. Andy has you covered still and you'll still be able to get everything you need from him, but nothing changes for Masterforce either. My supply isn't affected, I have accounts with something like 6 or 7 wholesalers and I also have distributors in China and Hong Kong. As I said a few pages back, I buy 4 or 5 companies' products from Andy and I can also get them elsewhere. All is fine and dandy.

Is the 3P bubble bursting? Maybe a little. Andy, myself and other retailers have said for a long time that some third party companies' attitude sucks and now they are learning that it's not acceptable anymore to ignore the people who pay them  

 

I'm glad you like the toys. I like Animated mainly cause of the cartoon story

 

I'm really looking forward to starting to rewatch Animated having just got my complete DVD from Amazon.com for $30 shipped to the uk...  

 

Thanks for the kind words. Pete, any suggestions on how to reduce the grainy-ness in my images?

All the Animated Bumblebee sizes - excluding the bumper battler and the big talking thing, and one Macross shot:

That brief but factual round up of comings and goings in the UK's no.1 thread was brilliant  

  I laughed hard at this, thanks mate!!

Mate, awesome work, the shoes in particular are really, really good.

PM Pumpkin, he might be keen to take some Bronie stuff from you  

Whatever decision you make I wish you all the best mate.
To drop 100,000 ra-ra-rasputins business with a company and not get a reply in 3 months is unforgivable.
To me that was justification to tell them to f**k right off.

Gentlemen, a toast if you will? Heres to less stress for Sir Andy of House Kapow.

 

I'm private rented.

Collecting mainly masterpiece - but have some 3rd party - MMC etc and a mix of older stuff, g1/chugs/movoes/prime etc  

 

There simply won't be a funnier thing said in this thread ever. Take the prize, go home, and enjoy a cold Boney M.

All the best
Maz

 

I watched 5 episodes of Animated s2 with the kids today. Blurr is my daughter's new favourite transformer, especially after I produced the toy and started babbling at her in Blurr speed speech!

I've been looking at the 2 Arcees that we have on the way. Both have good and bad points; MMC's one oversized pink foot thing is a very odd design choice, particularly.

Official = far lower price, but MMC is bound to have the quality and seems to be a triple changer.

In terms of bot modes, I think that PE's RC has them both beaten anyway. She's a fiddly one, mind.

 

Boney M's Daddy Cool has the best bass line ever. Fact.

 

@maz - I will drop you a PM shortly RE: graininess. More great shots dude. Bee is pretty sweet in animated. Make you want the wasp version and the vortex blurr and the rest of the stuff that never got released  

 

Well that was a bit of a bombshell, not really surprised though but I'll be happy to finish off my MT Dinobots then I'll be happy with whatever TT can put out MP wise. It'll be financially a lot easier for me in the long run, may even invest in a few other lines.

 

I'm showing my age again huh!!  


So, any takers on this MLG stuff, no idea what MLG is but its free to whoever wants it (price includes p&p). Save it from one of Britain's landfills, do your bit for the environment and the ever increasing hole in the ozone.
