    After a slow start mine seems to have a steady stream of whirls, sandstorms and Rhinoxees, plus Blitzwing and Blaster which I nabbed.

    Thanks so much Pete! I'd love to say I'd mastered your technique of separate lighting but that's all photoshop. I isolated the background using the select colour range command and then used the magnetic and polygon lasso tools to refine the edges of the foreground figure. Took 30 mins or so and then I just removed the background. It's torture!

    Thank you to all for kind comments on the Pride pictures, can you believe I've lost followers on Instagram and Facebook because of those 4 images?

    All the best
    Maz

    Really? Then they weren't worth having as followers to begin with, to be honest. :) 

    Meant to say, great pictures. I don't know the MTMTE reference, but still really like them.

    Post that montage of Chromedome and Rewind from MTMTE which ends with Rewind saying "I love you." That should be interesting. ;)

    I'd like to say I'm surprised but of course I'm not. I work on the internet all day - people can be just the fucking worst. Just remember they were unlikely to be followers worth having in the first place.

    Love that Magnus shot, very clever. Regards the losing of followers....fuck 'em, not worth wasting any energy on ppl like that. I've learned myself over the last few months some ppl are just not worth the time of day, still need to work on getting it perfected but I'm getting there.

    @ Maz, really? Dear dear me. The internet unfortunately is home to the crazies too, like the ones that blame US soldier deaths on people's tolerance of homosexuality or shit like that.

    Personally I think the Blurr image you did was the best one, because it doesn't need MTMTE context.

    Hey guys - anyone else having real trouble in finding varied CW figures over here in shops? Literally all I can find is Dragstrip and Skydive - neither one I really have any desire for...

    Well it's amazing how little most people know about being gay. Vast swathes of the world really have no knowledge and are still going off some old gay is gay and not holly either. :/. They are ignorant but at the same time shouldn't be dammed. They have to be reached/educated.

    Wave 3 is very common were i live, i would think it would be widely available online too. Obviously wave 2 is another story...

    Wow good work to those receiving MP-10s already, I'm still waiting for my robot-laden SAL package to arrive from AE with Convoy and UW Superion.

    Tesla should be turning up shortly too, surely. Shipped 5 days ago from the US first class international letter post.

    All the best

    I still haven't seen CW wave 3 here in Stirling. Wave 1 was very easily available though.

    I'm playing around with Gen. Sandstorm at the moment. I think I like it more than Springer. The added bulk really does make it feel almost like a different toy.

    Now to stake out B&M in the hopes of Brainstorm and Sky Byte showing up...

    I've got another Brainstorm if you're willing to pay £16 Inc postage for him. I picked him up at TRU which are doing half price Gen Voyagers at the moment, or at least they were last week, so you might want to try there as well for Sky Byte. I did see El Sharko at my TRU once, though it was full price at the time.
