Dare we ask for a certain price? Please tell me that the loose pair of legs in that Kreo set is a half invisible Skywarp! |

I think it's a teleporting pair of legs to swap out but I'm totally using them stand alone now.
Rainmaker( wrong name it's the 3 chaps from mtmte with flame throwers.
The amount of black parts is odd but not uncommon practice for fp. Otherwise they look great.
People needs to shout out if interested as more can be acquired if needed. Nick needs to decide the price I guess.

It's not a toy request, but does the Galaxy Force Phase Ignition book ever show up for sale at conventions? I've been after one for years and just end up watching the same one cycle around on eBay for an insane $140, no other copies ever seem to appear.

Sorry Dez- guess I was too slow on the draw, eh?  $145 plus postage from the US, plus customs... I'd say we can beat that. Andy and I discussed it last night and we decided that £120 for the 3 was a good compromise between not ripping people off and not throwing money away. I haven't bought anywhere near as much this year as usual (although that has been balanced by a massive upsurge in donations!) so I don't need to make as much back before we start raising cash for the kiddies. Our target is pretty ambitious this year. I'm still haunted by selling my Botcon Sweeps for £75 in 2009 then watching the seller next to me sell his for £150... -Nick |

I believe it covers the initial waves of Galaxy Force toys and includes an episode guide? You don't have to look far for scans, but I would like the real thing! It's one of the few I don't have. -Jim |

I needs me Electro and Thundercracker. I *need* them.
Hoist and Strika come in below them. as Wants. Nothing else has any interest to me.
Mirage would have been on the need list had he been Prowl.

Well... I wouldn't mind Sandstorm because I don't have that mold. So aquiring him with Electro wouldn't be a bother. Though the basic MW molds still hold in a modern display. And Mirage is one of two MWs that I actually have. So swapping him out with this mirage would feel more like sidestepping, than upgrading.
Of course, all assuming I could even afford them. Which I can't.

Ladies(?) and gentlemen of TMUK! In light of Dezzeh's impending fatherhood a set of Botcon Rainmakers has become available. Asking price is £120. Postage included to anywhere on planet Earth. Since we're post-AA and I've already made my money back, the entire value goes straight to Mary's Meals.
Any takers?
Yes, I can wait until after payday.

How much does that round about come to in USD? About $100, right? Or do I have it backwards again? (I'm still trying to learn/memorize the USD Pound exchange rate)

Thanks. So, according to my calculator that's around $80.
I'm definately interested, but I'm having a really tight month. >_<
Guess I'm gonna have to pass.

D'oh gor my ready reckoner wrong. Yes Dezzeh's sum looks more again
US should be 50% more than uk.... so to go from UK to US divide by 2 then multiply by 3
To go from US to UK divide by 3 and multiply by 2.
Ypu wouldn't believe I have a maths degree

Sorry Crazy! £120 does indeed translate to about $185 at the current exchange rate. There's a handy rate calculator at www.xe.com/ucc that covers conversion from and to any major currency. If you're in the market, you can get a set more cheaply on eBay US- they're currently sitting at about $135 a set from what I've seen. -Nick |

Ralph- I'll put them up when payday rolls around. End of next week. I'll just make it a charity auction for MM- that way eBay waives their fees.

Thanks to Andy Turnbull, Hippobot and any others who helped to get them going or spread the word!
