Hmm. I think I shall have to ask Andy about the dimensions of his suitcase before I can look at an Omega Supreme.

Nick,
There's something I've found really useful for carrying TF's. Especially when out in the US and wanting to bring them back home. I bought a large skiing type holdal that I can even fit myself inside it!! I bought one from John Lewis a few years ago and also got a cheap one from Target in the US last year.

Something like this might help.

Could you not simply ride Omega Supreme, placing sections of track in front of him (like what Gromit did in "The Wrong Trousers"), all the way back to Glasgow?

(You may need an additional supply of batteries.)

[The Doctor]

That sounds like a perfect plan. I shall drive the train part for Nick while he lays down track.

-Ralph

[Nigel]

Of course, success of the plan would depend on being able to find and buy Fortress Maximus' little partner: "Eee, it's the wrong trousers, Grommet!"

[The Doctor]

For such fabulous punnery, I have felt obliged to exalt you.

-Ralph

[Nigel]

why, thank you. Here, have some karma yourself.

Hmm, my karma was 15, possibly 16, the other day and is now 15 after your exaltation. It seems the secret smiter has been about again.

[The Doctor]

It's back at 16 now.

I shall use my GodMod powers to check for the phantom smiter.

-Ralph

[kayevcee]

Thanks T4e! I've got a decent sized holdall already, but I'm not sure if it's quite Supreme-sized. I may have a look around for something a bit more generous before departure.

Just to let everyone know that as an added bonus to those who have pre-ordered items and also to anyone else who reserves items, I'm gonna give out a couple gift vouchers that will be valid on my table. What will happen is after you collect and pay for your item, your name will go into a hat. Once all the pre-orders have been collected (within 30-45mins of show opening) I'll do the draw. First name out of the hat will get a £10 gift voucher to spend on my table. 2nd out of the hat will get a £5 voucher. So far 15 different people have reserved items so your chances are 1 in 7 at winning a voucher. If a few more people decide to reserve items I'll probably add a 3rd voucher into the draw.

There will be a prize draw later in the day (which I always do) where everyone who buys from my table on the day will get a raffle ticket. The prizes are: G1 Stunticon Drag Strip (1991 Weetabix Promo) plus a £15 voucher, or a Hyper Hobby 2007 Movie Legends Clear Bumblebee plus a £15 voucher.

Winner gets to choose which prize they want. Runner up gets the other one.

Cheers

Jon

Sounds good but how will people who haven't seen you before (like me) be able to pick you out from the rest of the sellers?

Good point. Well in speaking to Sven (one of the organisers) he says I'm in the main hall to the far right (3 o'clock) of the main stage, down by the bar. My table is 18ft wide and will have 't-4-e' banners on a couple A4 sheets.

If in doubt just ask around as quite a few there will know me anyway. ;D

Cheers
Jon

Thanks for that. I might be interested in some of your wares and if I can find your stall I may just take a few things off your hands.

Sounds good to me. I never like packing up after shows, so the more I can clear, the quicker I can pack up ;D

[grahamthomson]

Are you in the same place as 2006?

[t4e]

Almost. I'm in that middle island again but will be facing the main hall this time instead of facing into the 2nd room, so when you look at the main stage head on I will be at the far right (3 o'clock from facing the main stage).

My table space is triple the size of what I had in 2006 I'm hoping it'll be fairly easy to find :-D

[t4e]

Encore Minibots will be here in the next couple days as will BT-21 Arcee, Henkei Astrotrain & Rodimus.

Minibots will be £25
BT-21 Acree is £38
Henkei Astrotrain is £18 (only 1 available)
Henkei Rodimus has already been reserved

As always, 10% off anything pre-ordered. 49 items have now been reserved (25 boxed and 24 loose figures) by 17 people.

Don't forget that there is an exclusive prize draw for those who pre-order only.
17 people have reserved items so far. After everyone has collected their reserved items within 30-45mins of the doors opening, I'll do the draw. 1st name out of the hat will get a £10 voucher to spend, 2nd out of the hat will get a £5 voucher. The plan is to give ones (roughly) a 1 in 7 chance of winning, so I'll more than likely be adding a 3rd voucher to the draw.

Cheers
Jon

Nice!

I have all the Minibots in the Minibot set, but I still want it. What's wrong with me?

Nothing wrong!... Takara are just very clever ;D Them making slight repaints to the figures is making all of us want them!! ;D

I can't wait for them to turn up!

Jon

[The Doctor]

It's natural to feel the lure of fresh minibots, Nick.

-Ralph

[grahamthomson]

I feel the same Nick, so either there's nothing wrong or we both have the same thing wrong.

Mind you, my original Mini-Autobots are the ones from my uh-oh-here-comes-Galvatron childhood, so they need replacing.

[t4e]

Encore Minibots, BT-21 Arcee, Henkei Astrotrain & Rodimus are now in stock.



Astrotrain & Rodimus are already sold out but there's still a couple BT-21 Acree and a small amount of Minibots available to reserve.
BT-21 Acree £38
Encore Minibots £25

7 days left to reserve items to still get 10% off. 59 items reserved so far.

Henkei Ramjet 'might' get here in time. It's currently en-route.

Upcoming arrivals are:
Alternators #8 Meister MISB (red box)
RID Megatron Megabolt
RID Bruticus
RID Tow Line & Skyfire
RID Skid-Z & Windsheer
Universe Depth Charge

I am down for some Encore Mini-Autobot goodness!

Now, I need some memory help.

Does anyone own one of the Japanese Complete First Series books? You know, the one printed same size as Generations but in landscape.

I am sure, on the pages with the Mini-Autobots the likes of Tailgate and Outback already have blue-painted eyes just like the reissues and not like the original releases. (Unless they had blue eyes originally in Japan?)

Am I remembering this correctly or am I making this up?

[The Doctor]

I've got that book. I'll dig it out this evening and check for you.

-Ralph

[The Doctor]

I checked and the pics of Tailgate and Outback in that book do indeed have blue eyes.

-Ralph

[t4e]

I never knew that with Tailgate & Outback!

I've just updated list list with some more items added and about 40 more pics. Have also dropped the price on a few items like some non show Beast Wars characters, RID Obsidian and some loose Armada figures as well.

As over 20 people have now reserved items I'm adding a 3rd voucher (£5) into the pre-order prize draw. This will take place a little after 11am on the day. The deadline for reserving items is Thursday July 31st (11:59pm).

Cheers

[The Doctor]

Right, that's me worked out my budget.

Jon, could I reserve an Encore Ratchet and an Encore Ironhide please?

-Ralph

[t4e]

No problem Ralph! That's £36 total (after the 10% off). I'll update the list. When you come to collect them, I'll give you a raffle ticket as well for the 'pre-order prize draw'

Cheers mate
Jon

[The Doctor]

Much obliged.

-Ralph

[t4e]

The one question that's floating around the most leading up to AA-08 is the size of Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme in terms of trying to get the items home... especially with many using the Train or Bus.

Omega Supreme: 54cm wide - 37cm tall - 8cm deep

Sky Lynx: 44cm wide - 31cm tall - 11cm deep.

Something I'm now offering is to bubble wrap Sky Lynx & Omega Supreme to help protect it on the journey home, plus I DO have carrier bags big enough for them as well.

Below are a couple thumbnail pics (click to enlarge) of Sky Lynx & Omega before and after the bubble wrap treatment.

Before:


Omega Supreme after:



Omega & Sky Lynx ready for the trip home:


I do still have 2 Omega & 2 Sky Lynx available for pre-order which can be bubble wrapped for the trip home if wanted.

Obviously, I won't be able to bubble wrap them at the show on the day, but I can take reservations up until Thursday July 31st (11:59pm)..... all you'd need to do then is come and collect it within 30-45mins of the doors opening where it will be bubble wrapped and inside a large carrier bag ready for you..... Plus you'd be entered into the Pre-Order prize draw which will take place just after 11am at the show........ oh yeah, and it's 10% cheaper if reserved ;D
