Star are pretty cool the way they publicise their manifest every Wednesday but it isn't always right. I can see why the other shops don't do that. They said three weeks in a row the Snowspeeder was due in, then on the Friday that it hadn't turned up again. It's interesting to see how much Hasbro messes them around. Yeah they often say they don't know what they're getting until the Hasbro delivery turns up. Hasbro UK are a strange company. -Ralph |

When I worked in a branch of MUJI, back in its early days in Europe, that was how we operated. A big delivery would turn up and we’d literally know nothing of the contents until it was opened, then have to “innovate” our displays and shelving around it. The Japan part just mostly sent us whatever they felt like. Some of the items we didn’t even understand what they were until the part-time girl who spoke Japanese was in. It was mad, but also interesting! |

Yep. In my Toys R Us days it was also the same. We knew we were due things sometimes, but not which delivery it would be on.

Look, baby get fatter. Baby ceases to fit in things as well. Baby also try to eat things! Choke hazard. And, baby fight back! Baby will have- OPINION! And will refuse to be put in things! There will certainly be photos of the Scraplet with Scorponok. Maybe wrestling it, depending on how long it takes to ship. |

Big temptation now to blow the TFN account on a giant scorpion. Resistance crumbling. CRUMBLING. But then I was saving up for a payday splurge on Sky Lynx. Both of those coming together would get some serious Paddington Bear Hard Stares from Mrs P.

Go on. Treat yourself to a giant scorpion. 16 hour days, man.

Still no sign of the wave 2 Battlemasters, so I’ll still be waiting. All for the sake of saving a couple of quid on postage...

So Phil - has yours turned up yet? I'm still waiting for a dispatch notice, but am wondering what the time span will be after that.

Yay! Just had my shipping email from Kapow.
A bit confused though - I paid for next day delivery DPD (and it says so on the email) but it has been sent via Parcelforce 48 hr.

Weird thing is, they still list DPD as an option on the website. Perhaps they need to update that (I don't care who delivers tbh as long as it fits the timeframe selected/paid for). As I thought it would be tomorrow, I've taken that day off now. Never mind - its coming soon and that's the main thing. |

Scorponok is here! I wasn't going to open it until house move but something was rattling around inside so I checked inside in case of breakages. The robot had a neck guard piece which had come off but it pegs in so nothing broken. Phew.
Then Scorpy went back in the box for a few weeks. It is massive and heavy.
