Woah! I didn't realise he'd slipped in the cannon transport too. That wasn't cheap either! I resisted right up until we were packing up the Toy-Fu stall and I was about to put it in a box. -Ralph |

Unfortunately one of the pegs on one of the cannon transport ramps snapped and is stuck in the hole on the side  -Ralph |

My haul. Only the boxed/carded figures and Air Raid were not from Toyfu or in aid of ToyFu from else where, with exception of some forge stuff.
I did "win" one of the two mystery boxes tombola that the Nottingham Robot Company were doing in aid of ToyFu. By win I mean it was 20 minutes until close of the dealer room on Sunday and no one had won it, and as I just spent £16 unsuccessfully on tickets they just gave it to me. I only kept TR Beachcomber for myself and the rest of the contents was given away to people who would appreciate them more. Two children who just had a couple of goes before me who were unsuccessful were still around the table and they seemed delighted to be given the TR Galvatron, CW Windcharger, G1 Blitzwing and an RID Starscream as I either have them already or have no interst in them in the case of Starscream. Karl was given a Macross figure and comic, and a few other people received a CW/TR Bombshell, RID Soundwave, I think the large Cyber Battalion Prowl, and some other young child of an attendee some Armada figure that I didn't know. I tried to give Ralph a Space Voyager comic from 1984 but no one seemed to want it. Oh there was also a Disc world map.

i finally got my powermaster prime, from toyfu ofc and picked up the combiner wars skywarp that had been shelf warming a few years from them!
I then bought a few bits from kapow and convinced Andy K to buy a thundercracker modelling set by flame toys (i bought the optimus ones and built 1 last night - they are really good!!!)
oh and i picked up punch/counterpunch, ricochet and red swoop from ID
I also picked up some comic bits and a wicked Nick Roche commission which i think covers it all!

It's entirely possible that something toy related happened last weekend, which resulted in me finding myself coming home with the following: - Studio Series Jetwing Optimus Prime - I wasn't planning on getting this, but I picked one up for someone else and as soon as I had that in my hand, the Saturday morning red haze hit.
- Studio Series Hightower - I didn't realise that Hasbro were doing a Police Academy line, but there you go. (Also I need to complete Devastator.)
- Siege Brunt - Felt a little bit guilty, since it was the last one on ID's stand, and was also really high up, so clearly some people weren't able to reach him. But not that guilty.
- Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime - A very, very lovely find from ToyFu.
- Cybertron Jungle Planet Megatron - The one that's a T-Rex, and a repaint of the Beast Wars 10th Anniversay release. And also a better colour scheme. Also from ToyFu.
- Sealed G2 Bumblebee - A last-minute purchase from ToyFu. I'd been eyeing it up all weekend, and was dithering as the trading hall was closing when someone else picked it up to look at it. At which point the haze struck. Interestingly though it was on a Canadian card, and someone's been in touch about selling it on to them, since they're a completist and need this version. They say they'll cover the costs of me posting to them and also getting a different G2 Bee from elsewhere. So I'm pondering that.
- Siege Chromia - Not strictly from the con, this was brought over from Australia by a friend.
- Botbots. SO. MANY. BOTBOTS - The conjunx went on a spree on Saturday morning and picked up all of Series Three that she could find. And yet, and yet... we still need more.

It was easy to avoid the £95 Jetfires when they can be pre-ordered on Smyths for £79.

ALRIGHT. YOU go to Smyths, you, you Jetfire shunner?
It's true. If it cost ID that much to airlift in Jetfires you can see why Kapow didn't bother. He's still in stock on TFE for £75, so those who were buying from ID clearly have no common sense.

Or convention excitement. Which I can understand - I've had it before. This weekend, of course, I was the model of restraint. A model made out of plasticine...
And Primus wept - I had no idea Ralph had bought that much! He hid it well. I was tempted by Golden Lagoon Prime, but I had other stuff that I wanted to buy.
Which reminds me, since this isn't in the "official Transformers" section (I'd hitherto had no idea this thread existed), I also got:
MMC Ni and... whatever. Nickel and the Pet from MTMTE. I actually went to the Kapow stand looking for the Iron Factory Vos and Kaon set, since I'd managed to forget to order those, and found these instead, which I had likewise failed to order. So no Vos and Kaon, but I do have this cute pair. Win some, lose some...
