I discovered on my Saturday morning stroll today that there is now a very small retro toys stall in the town shopping centre. Literally a couple of display cases by an escalator. Very bizarre. They had original SW, He-Man, Mask, Ghostbusters and rather wonderfully a few Centurions figures, but NO Transformers. Outrageous.

Clearly someone needs to sell them some Transformers so they will have some in stock...

No, Meridian Centre in Havant. Right in the middle. I had cause to go back into town later in the day when the stall was actually open and the chap was drawing a lot of attention, whether that was transferring into sales or not is another matter. I made a mental note of the name at the time as their sign said they have a Facebook page, but I've completely forgotten it. It wasn't anything special.

Apparently we now have a similar stall newly opened in Hyde. May pop along next weekend to see what they have.

Morning All!
It's Sunday - Praise the Lord!

Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT, tummy and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight, getting off to sleep promptly. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

Sunday afternoon is mostly being spent sorting out Toy-Fu donations. I thought that the most complicated but of this would be matching up the correct accessories with the correct toy. In fact, cataloguing it is the most laborious part of the process - working out what the correct names of the lines and sub-lines are - "War For Cybertron: Siege", "War for Cyberton: Kingdom", "Legacy Comic Universe", "Legacy Victory Universe", "Legacy G1 Universe". My headaches... Part of me just wants to do a Headmasters English Dub Roadimus Prime and just call them all "Transformer"...  Karl |

Reasonably productive afternoon all told. I've got about 1/3rd of the stuff to go out verified and bubble-wrapped. Had to stop because I ran out of bubbler-wrap - even after un-wrapping something from Mandrake still awaits opening so that I could reuse that bubblewrap. I'll get some more in the week so that I can carry on.
TFWIKI is doing my head in though. Trying to verify if things are complete, and the link from the War For Cybertron:Kingdom toy list to Core Starscream dumps me at the top of a page labeled G1Starscream/toys... What can I do but shake my head ruefully at the god-awful tangle that is the organisation of the site...
