Week 238: US post G1 toys that were never sold in the UK I got angry so this turned into a top 10. And just outside that is the entire mad Universe recolour line. 10) T30 beyond wave 1 Do not give your line to TRU as an exclusive. 9) CW Wave 2 Do not mix your combiners between waves ... oh dear. 2 uncompleted combiners at the start of the line really didn't help CW in the UK. Watch as the same thing happens with POTP! 8) Beast Wars Wolfang Do not show toys you're not selling in the UK on cardbacks! 7) Beast Wars Blackarachnia & Tigatron Do not skip toys that are prominently featured in your promotional cartoon! 6) Energon JetfireDo not skip toys which you need to make others work properly! (see 9 above) The absence of this toy killed an entire size for the line! 5) Energon Wing SaberRalph reckons he saw this in ASDA. I don't doubt that he did but he seems to have been the only one as I've never seen one, never seen a European packaged one on eBay and never spoken to anyone else who did. A shame because it makes Energon Op good! 4) RiD Bisk, Ratchet & Scatterspike Eyes narrow in anger. Skip the really good toy and much loved character thank you Hasbro while the assortment languishes unrefreshed for months. 3) Cybertron Defence ScattorshotSuperb toy. 2) Armada WheeljackTo this day I don't get why this was skipped in the Euro assortments. 1) RiD ScourgeNo character central to the plot should be a store exclusive that isn't available in some markets!

Bad Phil. Reincarnation does NOT necessarily imply a 2nd version. I refer you to the Pali translations of the Metta Sutta and surrounding discussions of what the Buddha says a good life means, which can be interpreted as referring to reincarnation in some aspects.

Blimey. I've got a Takara Energon Jetfire. I didn't even know it hadn't come out here.

I now live in a country famous for it's love of sausages but no German ones will make this list. 5. [Polish one whose name I've forgotten] - very smoky and meaty. Used to get it from a stall in Borough market that long since closed down. 4. [Franch sausage whose name I've forgotten] - something my French partner's dad gets from his local market and it is appallingly morish 3. Lincolnshire - my favourites as a boy, nostalgia rush just thinking of them 2. Chorizo - only the good stuff, though, supermarket chorizo is a bit of a lottery and often quite bitter. Much better in chunks than thinly sliced. 1. Fennel & Red Wine - "Italian" sausages we used to get from our local butcher in Greenwich. Lovely. Miss that butchers a bit. Honourable mention to Scotch Eggs which involve sausage meat.

Blackpudding is Backpudding. It's in a category all of it's own.
A yummy delicious category.

Blackpudding is Backpudding. It's in a category all of it's own. It's in a league of it' own but it's still a sausage.

Wich bit of this is defeating you today? Thursday Tease: What series of question that we finished earlier in this feature is now incomplete? In the early days of this feature we did a series on top 5 TFs in each year - see the list on P1. We got as far as 2015 before we ran out of completed years. We can now do 2016 and, very shortly, 2017. Jim got it straight away it was so blindingly obvious!

But but but in the New Adventures when the TARDIS landed in an era, time 'crystalised' around it so it could not return to the exact same space and time to change events again. The same is true of this thread. 2016 did not exist when it started so we could not possibly have guessed it!

We knew 2016 was coming. The plan always was to return to it if we got far enough. As it is we'll do 2017 as well in one month's time!
