If I ever get the chance to come along to one of the London meet ups I'll bring it along. Please don't, no show and tell at the London meet ups and we've seen them all before. And I got Blesser in the mail today, go me.

Blesser looks really good with Red Alert. This was my car boot haul over the bank holiday weekend And I got RTS Wreck Gar over the Easter weekend. In trade for some Windchargers I also received Gen Blur, Universe Ratchet both sealed and a loose Universe Cyclonus (to complete my Cyclonus set). It has been a good few weeks for me.

Even I didn't bring stuff the other week. And I got Blesser in the mail today, go me. I'm hearing tales of weak hips on them giving way.

The "no toys" rule at London meets has been in place since the "incident" when Wrighty showed up waving the Diaclone Magnum around and the Anti Terrorism unit showed up. And when Armada Hoist knocked John's pint over with his action feature

Whereas at Scot Meets, the tables are festooned with toys!
Though I wouldn't wave a gun Megs around!

Haha. Still, no toys at a toy meet is lame But they're not toy meets, it's a group of people who've known each other for 10+ years getting together for a drink every so often. It'd be different if it was a forum meet of some kind, in fact Richie had his little Megatron out when Ralph and Andy were in town.

Did'nt Lawrence Evans get told off at a railway station back in 96 for waving a Browning gun around?
Cardiff meets have been sort of toy meets too. Nothing quite like being sat down in a Welsh pub with loads of toys on the table. Such fun! I reckon I would really enjoy a Scotcon of course.
Last time George and I did a London 'pub' meet was in 2000 with Wrighty, Paul C, Angela, Lee Newman and Matt Dallas. No toys, but lots of great banter.

Yeah most the the figures are pretty solid and most of the movie stuff had weapons too. Averaged less than £1 per figure too. Best of all I didn't have quite a lot of them before hand.

Only reason I proffered bringing it along was because this sites been around for ages and you all know one another well and it'd give a new guy something to chat about if need be....At least NOT bringing it means not having to lag it around or worry I'd forget it on the train or leave it or parts of it in a pub say! ;D Newest toys: PCC ICEPICK, LEADFOOT AND SLEDGE.

Don't worry about that, you can swap stories about poo with paulwright. I got PE Reflector the other day, they're a lovely little bunch of robots with many accessories.

Don't worry about that, you can swap stories about poo with paulwright. I got PE Reflector the other day, they're a lovely little bunch of robots with many accessories. I like talking about poo. ;D My Skullcruncher came today. Very nice. I was surprised at the overall size of these Headmasters, still Scorponok towers over him. I took him when I went to see my Dad at his nursing home and he found him rather funny to look at. I like taking these things to him, it makes me feel like I'm small again when times were simpler for me... Transformed PCC Icepick and Sledge into combiner mode...the legs are loose. He looked cool combined with two arm drones off Bomshock and the leg drones off Crankcase, Sledge has the arms from Crankcase and the lower bits of Bombshock....he looks good too, but they are naff in their inability to stand up. I felt the Mini Con things a bit shite as well....Leadfoot looks great in Racer mode, I like the 'Blackrock' spoiler, wonder if its a nod to the comic character G.B. BLACKROCK? The thing I've found with LF is that you have to align the whole toy up or his wheels won't sit on any surface properly...I like his Mini Con engine/gun mode but his other mode is rubbish really. I do like Chainclaw in his missle launcher mode, and Throttlers drill bit and power armour modes work well. Sledge needs the company of the 5 pack Construction Drones....he heh! I don't much like Double clutch, bit too tubby and short imo...His drones are okay, but two having levers or 'automorph PRIOR to being connected is a bit lax...I thought PCC was all about 'clip on and they convert'.... It also dawned on me that the PCC Mini Cons can be used on my Armada UNICRON....Durrrrrrrrr! Odd it didn't click with me instantly...must be the sun...Unicron has been telling me he was hungry as well....I may let Skullcruncher EAT the Mini Cons.... ;D ;D

We will not have a word said against Throttler, he's great. A Minicon that turns into a drill that rotates? Fabulous!

I didn't say anything about Throttler.....he's okay, not great but ok.
Bought PCC Sledgehammer from Kapow. Am interested in seeing his drones on Sledge.

Terradive and Tomahawk are both tops, Tomahawk especially so. You'll be trying his weapons on every c-clip bar you see.

Gah, my attempts to own the ehobby Autobot 3 pack look destined to fail. Every store I found with the sold out before I could order, then I found Toy Arena. Ordered three weeks ago and got them sent to a friend in the US. I check up on it today to find because I had provided a different shipping to billing address the order hadn't processed. They didn't bother to contact me about it though.
In the mean time they have sold out. So no idea where I stand. Also in the means time, I cleared the card it should be on and used it for the TFCC order so even if it does get processed now it will probably take me over my limit leaving me with a fee or a cancelled order. Argghhh!

Seems I was charged at the time so I should have a set ready to be sent after all. Sadly I panicked and Bought 2/3rds of the autobot set on ebay last night before discovering that. So now have a spare Hot Rod and Kup and not a spare Junkion which would have been the most useful to have spare of.
Oh well.

Predaking arrived today. Shipping was £22.71, $289.00 Hong Kong Dollars. The seller did over charge me even when I repeatedly asked him why postage was so high....I am pretty furious and if the little shit where in front of me I'd beat the crap out of him, its pretty devious a thing to do especially as I could have saved some money if he'd been honest....
Reported to ebay, case opened and bad feedback left.
