I feel like everyone owes me a stiff drink!  There will be Nuggits for all, prices will depend on condition (as he's a devil to get a good one)! I also made you a special Nuggit-themed gift! |

I see them in the pic, but are any well chromed? Likewise, I have one well chromed Slimestone. Neither are perfect, but that's an impossibility. At the moment I'm thinking of a range in prices for condition from 5-10 but have not settled yet! |

Arghhhh! I only have about 30 hours to get ready. And some of those depend on how well I recover from a root canal.
Got a new printer over the weekend so starting on the Toyfu tshirts now.
I also have rock lords to bring. Im thinking we'll have about 75% of the full range available.

Thats about it and we do have a decent amount of narlies and did have Fossilsaurus as RORC.
No one can say Toy Fu hasnt represented Rock Lords well this year.

No series 2 Narlies though!
Which is a shame, as so many people has asked me about them we'd have been able to name our price.
I still need a Narlibat. Cheapest I've found one is £130 + customs, which isn't happening!

Operation: Sins of the Wreckers
TFNation 2016 may be just four days away but do not fall into the Decepticon trap of believing we are all out of surprises. There’s one nearby… real nearby…
We are thrilled to confirm that in collaboration with TFN guest Nick Roche, we are able to bring you the “Sins of the Wreckers” trade paperback, ahead of its release!
Somebody has kidnapped Prowl… but does anybody want him back? After a five year wait, it’s time to call upon the Wreckers once again in this highly anticipated sequel to “Last Stand of the Wreckers”.
Nick will have a limited number of the books available at his stall. So if you wish to grab the book before it hits stores AND get it signed by the writer and artist himself, this is the perfect opportunity!
If you are not lucky enough to nab a copy from Nick then fear not, TFNation will also have a run of books on hand. We will be giving them away all weekend as part of our free door prizes and various competitions we will be running! Why? Because we are so happy that you have all supported us through our first year, that we wanted to share the Wrecker love with you.
Four days people – get ready to Wreck and Rule at TFNation 2016!
Further transmissions to follow.

There is pretty much only one bar, and before the friday evening activities that's where everyone will likely be. Look for someone you recognise!

We are getting that extra food places in the hotel going by TFNation update. Has anyone had one of those £12 sandwiches from Hilton in the past? Are they just a 99p sandwich but costing you £12 for 2 slices of bread? If they had something costing £2 then I'd get something.

Steven Spielberg is currently in Birmingham filming Ready Player One with Simon Pegg and Mark Rylance. Celeb-spotters may want to keep their eyes peeled at the weekend.

The Souvenir Magazine has been announced. Much of the work done by members of this fine forum. Transmission Initiated Transmission ID: 000057 TFNation_2016 Operation: Souvenir Magazine To assist in your infiltration of the Hilton Metroplex, High Command has provided some useful literature. Each attendee will receive a copy of the TFNation 2016 souvenir magazine. A 36 page commemorative publication presented in full colour. No additional cost – it’s yours! Within the centre pages is a detachable convention guide including; A map of the hotel The full programme of events Some first timer convention tips (courtesy our Adam White) To borrow a line from the finest Transformers cartoon ever "that's not all, not all by a long shot, not by a long shot no sir!” You see, there is more to this magazine than meets the eye… it actually transforms! The inside cover has a gallery of our guests with space set aside for you to get their autographs. Commence transformation by detaching it and you have a beautiful A4 souvenir poster which is just begging to adorn your wall! The magazine is also filled with a variety of articles. Chris McFeely takes a look at Rhinox in “Living Large”, while Stuart Webb tackles the many incarnations of the Perceptor in “No Mercy For Percy”. Thanks to Philip Ayres we get an appraisal of both characters in their many toy incarnations through the years. Whilst Andy Turnbull takes a look back at the way many people of his age first experienced Transformers The Movie. The magazine also has a plethora of wonderful artwork for you to feast your optics on, courtesy of Matt Dallas, Herszpalter, Matt Marshall, Chris McFeely, Sora L. Pereira, Ben Pirrie, Ed Pirrie, Gav Spence, Joe Teanby and Andy Turnbull. All of this wrapped up with front and rear covers from TFNation’s very own Ed Pirrie.  You can pick up your souvenir magazine at our registration desk which will be located in the hotel reception on Friday, and inside the main hall on Saturday and Sunday.

As our attendees complete their lists of target purchases and plan their attack on the TFNation dealer room, teams of some of Cybertron’s best toy retailers are preparing to touchdown at the Birmingham Hilton Metropole. With so many offers and exclusives on-show, it made sense to list them for our attendees.
ID Toys have gotten in touch with us to let us know that the first 100 customers at their stall will be given a free modern day G1 Takara Decoy. These little red rubber robots are based on some of the 1980 figures which were packaged with various Transformers toys, in the west, and sold as gift packs in Japan.
Meanwhile the folks from A1 Toys, who are making the trip down from Scotland, will have some San Diego Comic Con exclusive figures for sale, during the show. As the only official re-seller of the SDCC figures outside of the Hasbro store, TFNation is the ideal opportunity to pick up the Titan Returns exclusive figures from A1.
Whilst we are talking about convention exclusives, if you are after the highly popular (and even more highly e-bay priced) BotCon 2016 figures why not stop by All The Cool Stuff, who may well have something for you.
Kapow Toys and Comic Connections have, in recent months, been advertising that they will both have convention exclusive figures from TFCon and TFCon USA in the form of the amazing tape-bot Scorpinator and the Mastermind Creations Feral Queen and Nero Queen.
Speaking of Facebook announcements, if you have been following the TFNation 2016 event thread you would have seen the Paul Hiitchens (Spacebridge) recently announced he will have a large collection of mint sealed G1 toys, including Targetmaster Scourge and HotRod up for sale at TFNation. Surely an event to rock every G1 collector’s world.
Speaking of rock, do stop by the Toy-Fu stall to pick up some Rocklords goodies, while we celebrate the 30th anniversary of this much-maligned, transforming rock/robot sub-line from the Go-Bots.
That is just a small selection of the wonders that shall be on offer in the TFNation 2016 dealer hall. We have eighteen dealers trading over the weekend, alongside twelve members of the Forge craft area, a host of guests and our own TFNation merchandise, offering you an unrivaled opportunity to enhance your Transformers collection

Transmission Initiated Transmission ID: 000058 TFNation_2016 Operation: Arbearlus look! It’s a TFNation teddy! High Command is pleased to introduce the latest addition to the TFNation ranks – Arbearlus! This heroic (-ly sleepy) Autobear is super excited to be attending the first ever TFNation… but is even more excited about having a little snooze afterwards. We’ve attached his full profile to assist with the introduction!  Arbearlus comes with his very own TFNation hoodie & tote (sleeping) bag, featuring official TFNation 2016 artwork. He will be available for purchase at the TFNation registration desk this weekend. Arbearlus will only be released in limited numbers so be sure to grab yours early. All we need now is a little energon… and a lot of cuddles! Further transmissions to follow. TFNation Where All Are One End_transmission  |

Awww! Arbearlus is a truly adorable chap.
I wish to amend my "wants list" for TFNation - what need have I to spend money on plastic robots when Arbearlus exists!
