Going to try and be good. Working so far; the dealers room has been open two minutes and I haven't bought anything.

I have bought Tombstone and Boulder from Toy Fu! But more importantly I have the zine! Woo-hoo! This is an impressive piece of work. In fact the con magazine is too. Great to see so many recognisable names involved.
Further purchases will follow no doubt.

I have been looking at the knees. In hand max is so busy colourwise that the knees aren't so noticeable. Cerebros is calling to me. Only £130 here too. That's almost a whole wave of deluxes difference on the tak one.

I don't think I've seen anything that new. If there were any they must have sold very fast. Tempted by a Galvatron, but at £30 I think they'll be all over TRU before long.

Picked up a replacement G1 Scattershot, and a couple of junker types from Toyfu for the boy.
For the first time, having sold some stuff, I have left having made profit!

I was helping toyfu setup yesterday! But I think we've all met up since!
To alleviate my spending guilt I will share the details of my purchases:
Sins of the wreckers tpb- Mr Roche sketched me a lovely springer inside the book.
Titans return clobber,brawn, skytread,ape face
Titans return scourge and blur
Combiner wars drag strip, wheel jack and smokescreen
G1 nosecone
Platinum edition megatron and prime
Platinum edition clash of the Junkers
Platinum edition insect icons.
And I caved and bought the combiner wars devastator(Andy at kapow gave me a cracking deal on it as he only had 2)
I also was surprised by Alex Milne, he was really nice today and when I asked him to sign my idw phase 1 collection he sketched a half size Optimus head on the inside cover for free. Really nice!

I couldn't get too much because don't know how much car repairs are (travelled down in lease car - put £300 aside plugs things in engine). But did get a few things. Beast wars #1 script, Punishment #1 that been looking for for ages. Guido big poster.

Adding to what I had bought yesterday I bought a Kei Zama sketchbook (at a tenner it seemed rude not to)
I also bought 2 takara transformers collection (21 - Broadcast, 14- Hound)
Kapow were desperate to shift their G2 boxsets and Menasor was £50 and Superion £60 today so if you looking check the website in case he continues those prices! They said they really wanted rid of the G2 stuff so might indicate a sale soon!

Kapow were doing those G2 Menasors for £50 this morning to shift them.
My total haul for the weekend was restrained by my standards. I now own four of the six Rock Lords from the first series, which I blame Blueshift's enthusiasm for. He totally infected me with that. I found issue 46 of Thundercats, which is the only issue I was missing to complete a run from 1 to 85; and not wanting to leave without a TF souvenir I decided to abandon the wants list and go for a 'what catches my eye on the Toy Fu stand?' approach instead and bought a sealed Beast Wars II Megatron. The Japanese repaint of the G2 tank (sans electronics).
The highlight though really is the amazing effort Blue put into the Rock Lords extras. Truly amazing. I love all of it. And I'm not taking off my TMUK badge.

Splendid. Will keep a look out for Superions on their site then.

so ive been playing with Devastator, I really like the figure, yeah its a bit big and clunky but it catches his essence perfectly, my only worry is it is chuffing huge. I didn't realise how big it was! god knows where I'm gonna put it!
