    I'm still waiting for mine to be delivered. Tracking only became active the last few days and according to it, he's sitting in Peterborough Mail Centre.

    Hopefully it'll updated to being either delivered tomorrow or an attempted delivery, then I can get him on Saturday.

    Ugh. Just worked a 12 hour day thanks to a fuckwit at work pulling a sicky to got t9 a blatent job interview.

    As a result missed pubecon and got no drawing done.

    Bah.

    Looking forward to Tracks. Looks ace.

    Cracked open a SWB Vader today. Love him. Full of looming presence.

    Now where is Spartan. Required. Now.

    Also - love Generations Roadbuster. Just a fun toy. Trimming the stickers helped, as well as giving him a white backed symbol on his chest. Need to do the eye fix.

    Guess what? It's 3:30am which can only mean one thing! Jet Lag has reared it's monstrous head again. Only this time it wasn't me, I has happily away in the land of nod. No it was the 2 kids! First small one woke up so I had to go down to get milk for her, but in the process work up the elder one who woke up hungry.

    Now I can't go back to bed anymore because in the process of making toast for the elder on my bed spot has been usurped by my youngest.

    And now the eldest won't go to bed again so I have to stay up and supervise. Greaaaaat. Still, I have new toys to fiddle with. Azalea vs Nightbird? Or Mokoto Kusanagi? Hrm.

    Early morning problems.

    IT seems some Retailers are sticking by this stupid Takara Street Date and some aren't. HLJ sent their payment notifications out yesterday and presumably this was ok so seems a bit stupid for anyone else to worry, especially as even if they start posting them out now even those in Japan aren't going to physically get them before the 7th anyway.

    What is the 7th.......UN Tracks day or something?

    Viva Kapow for not giving a stuff and getting on with getting the mountain out of their Warehouse and into our hands regardless.

    He can hold Menasor's sword two-handed. Good for a laugh :p 


    Roadbuster looks MUCH better with a second set of weapons, IMO. Jetfire looks great if you strip the chrome.

    Nice quiet Pubecon with Maz. And I mean, it was only Me & Maz until his mate Tim turned up about 20 minutes before I had to go :p  Glad he did if only so Maz had someone to show off Sphinx to! Boy loves that car robot guy.

    Maketoys are going to sell the Quantron bits at a much reduced price. Makes me SO glad I shelled out £320 for the box first time out.

    Brooticus - the genuine reason for so many Roadbusters is the sheer numbers of them in case waves compared to the others - some are half full of Roady, some are completely full of him. And then I think the numbers put people off. Shame, as for £13 in B&M he's perfectly good, and far cheaper than the RRP for a regular deluxe.

    Banjoted - how much for the legends?

    Agree with all of this - posing him in bot mode, he just looks a bit awkward. Car mode is a beauty though. Also, those wing mirrors fall off far too easily. I'm weirdly looking forward to Road Rage more than Tracks.

    Cheers to Andy for getting him out so fast.

    I know your pain, kept waking up through the night to check and see, since they shut at 9 in the morning I don't think it'll be happening until sunday night/morning now.

    Here we go, just had email from them, why they had to leave it so late does make me wonder why they couldn't have just sent it more than 15 minutes before they're due to close

    Mate, just to expand upon my answer on Twitter. It's my stag this weekend, we're just about to (hopefully) complete on our new house purchase, I'm getting married in three weeks AND I'm balls deep in a custody case. All of which means I just haven't had the time to think about prices or how's and when's and stuff for the figs. Sorry man. But I will! Could you give me a nudge on Monday when I can have a look into it? Thanks dude.
