I need to share my joy! (aka the Happy Thread)

We all need to vent every once in a while (sometimes often... :p)
We all have our ups and downs.
Why not share our joy too? :)

I like trains too. I enjoy counting them. I also like big mining trucks and jets.

Anyway... OH SO HAPPY, i got to go walkies today, get out of the house and eat something that wasn't related to a noodle! JOYFUL!

[G1Optimal]

Although I like Trains...
Prefer Aircraft more
(especially the ... "AH-64 Apache", "RAH-66 Comanche , "V22 Osprey" , "F14 Tomcat" , "F22 Raptor", "YF23" , "F35B Lightning II" , "Su37 Terminator" , "Boeing 747-400" and "Airbus A380")

and i am happy that technology that lets us fly exists. :D:)
it is to bad that some of the ones above are designed to help humans destroy things/ other humans :(

[bruticus]

-Got my tax refund which i really needed!!!
-I was awarded a high rank in my ninjukai grading and was given a free belt with the coveted japanese kanji on it

[1AZRAEL1]

Listening to my old Demo CD for my band. Havent heard it for a good year or so.

Even though the quality of the recording is bad, and the drummer sucked, I still enjoy it and remember the lyrics (well some of them haha)

One day I would love to get back into the music scene, but I dont know anyone round the area needing a vocalist. Ah wells. Was still fun when I did it.

[hotaru_oz]

Finally after 10 years of X-rays, physio , injections and seeing so many doctors, I finally found out what the cause of Chronic back pain, which means I can get the proper treatment :D

[Trailer Park Ninja]

Good to hear, hope the right treatment improves your quality of life :)

[1AZRAEL1]

My joy is, that there are still some nice people out there.

One nice lady who usually gets on a station after me and sits next to me, and gets off at central like me, woke me up when we got there :)
Otherwise I woulda ended up in Hornsby :p

Kinda gave me back a little bit of faith in humanity, to think that there are still some decent people out there who look out for others.

[STL]

I'm happy everytime I see Robzy's signature. :o

I had a similar experience tonight. On the way home on the train from work, unbeknowst to me, my mobile slipped out of my jacket pocket as I left the seat.

An hour so later after dinner, I noticed and frantically search my bag and pockets to no avail. I rush home and give my mobile a buzz and the guy on the other end is a City Rail dude at Turramurra station.

Some honest and thoughtful person handed it in and 1 hour on the train later, I pick it up much to my relief, happiness and gratitude to the honest & good samaritan and Cityrail dude :)

I knew this karma thing has its advantages. Now to pay it forward....

[turtle boy]

Happy to help! :p

What did you end up going with?

The Angus, Gibson have some price specials in atm, so I decided to go for The Ang :)

[STL]

Damn you Robzy, everytime I see ur sig a pic I smile like a doofus before getting worried like about someone watching over my shoulder.

But I'm still happy :)

I would like more photos of them... :o

Congrats man. It's great when all your hard work pays off.

I'm in a happy mood today - the wife just bought me a PS3 with Uncharted 2. Can't play it until tomorrow though. Been asking for one for ages.

I got the whole of next week off and am going to Melbourne to watch the Australian Open :D

meeting up with us???

[heroic_decepticon]

meeting up with us???

yo ice, apologies for replying many days late. I was going over in my head how to work meeting the Melb guys into my schedule.

I'll try to work something out. I'll be at the Australian Open tennis with a group of friends and my wife. I don't actually know how much time I will have in terms of a meet-up and chat sort of gathering between going to the open and seeing Melbourne a little (wife's never been there).

I'm meeting hanprimus to pick up some toys, but i think that it will be a meet and short chat then depart kind of thing.

Any ideas? Also, any recommended comic shops in Melb?

[Paulbot]

Any ideas? Also, any recommended comic shops in Melb?

Minotaur on Elizabeth Street is the biggest with a lot of pop culture stuff including directly imported TF toys (they had Bludgeon and the new Ironhide recently). Comics R Us on Bourke Street has a good sized collection but high prices. Classic Comics hidden away off Bourke Street has good prices but low stocks.

Minotaur is freakin awesome. I was down in Melbourne for work the other month and went exploring around the city in my lunch break. Came across Minotaur (had moved since I was there last) and easily spent the better half of the afternoon browsing their vast range. Wish we had a store like that here in Sydney :(

Never heard of Alestorm. What would you liken their music style to e.g. similar bands?

[1AZRAEL1]

Never heard of Alestorm. What would you liken their music style to e.g. similar bands?

According to a press release, the quartet "plays Scottish 'pirate metal,' by their own definition, and musically resembles the great battle metal bands such as KORPIKLAANI or TURISAS, albeit with a unique touch and Scottish instrumentation."

Very unique style of music, hard to actually liken them to other bands though. Best way I think would be to find them on youtube or myspace and have a listen.

they only have one show at Perth left and thats it

I would've loved to see AC/DC but ticket prices put me off. I think it was $150 for general admission.

I've been to a lot of concerts in my lifetime but have never paid that much. I'm sure it was worth every cent though.

I think it was more like 20 minutes for Adelaide!

I just wanted to vent my joy about seeing AC/DC in Adelaide too! It was freaking awesome. Ive seen them 3 times now and i reccon this was the best show of the three. They are my absolute favourite band ever!

As far as im concerned $150 a ticket was good value for money! LOL

Merchandise was a bit of a killer though:(

I heard a rumor that Iron Maiden will be touring next year- havent been able to comfirm this though. If they come to Adelaide ill be there!

[1AZRAEL1]

With a new album in the works, I'd say it would be likely they will be coming out again.

You can buy them through Moshtix (http://www.moshtix.com.au/event.aspx?id=35183&ref=moshtix#buy)

I am so excited for this, I can't wait. Kinda weird that it is not advertised in the Drum Media yet, but oh wells.

[griffin]

I think I read 13 episodes a year, so would be a really short season. But I guess if it is popular, the network will demand more episodes.

[griffin]

Had a look, and it is expected to be 20 episodes from April, on wednesday nights (but still keeping the Saturday in the title).

http://www.throng.com.au/hey-hey-its-saturday/hey-hey-its-saturday-wednesdays-2010

Of note is the expected absence of Red and Molly, due to contracts that bind them exclusively with Seven.

That's a bummer, but at least it will be back on TV. Even if it is stupidly put on a Wednesday night.

[Hursticon]

I'm sorry guys, in my opinion Hey Hey was only good for Red faces apart from that... maybe dickie.

Long Live GNW !!! :p

Long Live GNW !!! :p

Long Live GNW when it was on the ABC, otherwise, it is kinda crap now.

[Hursticon]

Maybe it was a little better on ABC, but then at least it's back and on it's 3rd-4th season. Interestingly enough, if it goes on for 1 more season it'll of been on for 10 years (Collectively). ;)

The problem with the di-fibulated Hey Hey is that if it doesn't have Red (Major Draw) and Molly (Slightly Lesser Draw) it might end up feeling like it's missing half the show. :(

That being said, I'm not one to rain on Fan's parades so good for those who loved the original series, I just hope it is what you guys expect and aren't let down, like I was when WWE bought ECW - The first One Night Stand was good, I don't wanna talk about what followed. :mad:

One thing I do hope is that Plucka and the Pluck-a-Duck segment is brought back. :D

[Paulbot]

Red Symons in back on the show (he left Channel 7 and Kyle Sandilands took over on Australia's Got Talent show), but Molly isn't.

[1AZRAEL1]

*I'M SO EXCITED! AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT*

I just scored 2 tix to go see Kick-Ass Wednesday next week, for free :D at the Black Curtain Screenings

[GoktimusPrime]

I have a confession to make... in the Intel Chorus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzrEqQLuMow), I find some people rather eye catching, such as:
+ The Asian girl in the white top standing in front - cute.
+ The blonde in the blue standing next to her - also cute.
+ The redhead behind the Asian girl - also pleasing to the eye.
+ The dude with the massive afro. That's a freakin' awesome looking afro! :D He also has an interesting goatee (which is better seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqVQsKXvmnk&feature=related))

Anyway, just wanted to share my joy about the Intel Choir (who are apparently all just Intel employees and not professional performers) :D

Bum! Bum bumbum bum!

Small things amuse small minds :p

boring movie scout BUT was never released so very rare!!!

2007 BACKTRACK with blue autobot key MISB

Thanks for that Autocon. :)
I just did an impulse bid on the two rare items listed by this person, and I actually managed to win both, one by $14, and the other by 1cent!

Backtrack and Reverb (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280497732948) were 2 of 3 unreleased 5th wave Target exclusive Scouts from the first movie (at the end of the series, so got axed before full production - so probably only a dozen of each exist, if that).

Hope this doesn't mean I'm gonna have to track down the third (Gunbarrel (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Gunbarrel_%28Movie%29)) in this unreleased set...

I'm just amazed I won these. These are indeed very obscure, but... when they arrive, they will be the rarest things in my collection, because pre-production samples are often only a dozen or 2 at the most. And many may have been sent to Target executive buyers, or various Hasbro offices, never to end up in the hands of collectors...
No exact number would ever be known though, so I'll go with the dozen estimate.
So happy. Happier when the arrive of course...

[Kyle]

Our male cat just received surgery today for his factured hip. $1600 gone. The vet said the surgery was smooth and hopefully he'll make a full recovery. It hurts us to see the poor fella in so much pain. So glad he's back home with us now.

[1AZRAEL1]

Great friggin news, Turisas had their promoter pull out recently for their Oz tour coz they went bankrupt. But now another promoter has stepped in to save the day :D:D:D Woooo cheering. Looks like I will be dog tired when I go to the collectors fair the next morning :D

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-toy-discussion/301137-gunbarrel-reverb-group-buy.html
When I did a search for these things before I chased up the first two on ebay, there was no indication that these had been produced at all, now it looks like quite a few were produced.

I don't know where these are coming from, or how many are being produced, but to think I paid out $100 each for these things, and people are bulk buying them for $25 each. :(

The thing I'm fearing is that these have only just been produced, buy toy counterfeiters. Because what else could explain these only now being released 'from a supplier' who seems to be able to produce more if there is demand, and they are in the 2007 movie packaging. If they were being officially produced right now, they would be in the 2009 movie packaging. And if they were indeed produced in 2008, why would it have taken 2 years before all of these suddenly appeared?

Not happy with myself... :mad:
Not the first time I've rushed into an ebay auction and regretted it later. :mad:

[heroic_decepticon]

I have no idea what these are, but from reading through the TFW thread and looking at the photo the guy posted in the first page of the thread, there certainly seems like there is a ready supply of each of these 3 figures...

[5FDP]

I don't think they are KO's Griffin. If they are, this is the first time I have seen 2007 movie packaging KO'd to that degree. It doesn't make sense.

It is possible that they were made, stored in a warehouse, and not released at the time.

[MV75]

I'd go with that. I'd say that they were made, but then no stores wanted to shelve them as they wern't new toys, and those others from energon, etc did shelf warm, so the stores passed on these.

[griffin]

I just don't see why anyone would sit on them for 2 years, unless the moving of production out of China is prompting the Chinese factories to clear out/throw out anything they had stored away for TFs.

Still doesn't make me feel any better about paying 4 times what others are paying for these... :(

[MV75]

Maybe they are just getting rid of inventory and the guys that get supplied / do supply with the factory leaks are hooking up to make it happen.

[griffin]

Dodged a bullet - phew... :)
Someone actually outbid me in the last five minutes, so now I can be a bit more patient and see if more show up to bring the price down. There are 8 now on ebay, cashing in on the $100+ sale prices (the people selling them bought them for $20-25 each).
Unfortunately, all this the publicity may mean these could now be rather expensive from now on - none seem to be selling for under $100 now.

[1orion2many]

:)I got an unexpected payrise :D

[5FDP]

Congrats 1orion2many! More money = more toys :D

I'm expecting a raise in June however this will be off-set by the arrival of a new bub in September. It's a good problem to have though.

I feel like a little kid before Christmas....

Been watching my MOTU DVDs lately, and with the prolonged delay with BotCon registration, my interest drifted back to completing my He-Man collection.

The other day I sat down and had a quick look at Ebay to see what the market was like at the moment on 80s MOTU toys, and was so surprised at what I found and the prices, I went a little nuts in a matter of hours.

When I bought MOTU figures about 2 years ago, there was more interest with the cartoon and comic still being fresh, sending prices way up and I had trouble finding a number of playsets and figures. This time around, I found heaps to choose from, and at prices I was happy with.

The one I really wanted most - a complete Castle Grayskull
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370376446302

Complete Snake Mountain
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180499134652

Complete Point Dread with Talon Fighter (actually attaches to the Castle playset)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360248401501

Complete Fright Zone
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360259771366

Complete DVD set of the 2002 MOTU series
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140404634501

Original Skeletor (never found a good one cheap last time)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370371416496

And a Webstor
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360256714214

Plus bidded on a number of auctions to see if I get any cheap.

I'm just so excited, I'm just jumping out of my skin waiting for these to arrive. I couldn't even wait until they arrived to post here.

Even if I don't get anything at BotCon this year, I've got a whole heap of new toys to play with as a happy little toy collector. :D

[5FDP]

Congrats on the MOTU acquistions griffin. Considering the condition that most of those are in, you got yourself some great bargains. Very jealous of that Castle Grayskull.

I always thought of branching out with my collecting habits, but I am so far into TF's that starting something new would always feel secondary to me.

Having said that though, I was a huge fan of MOTU back in the day. I still have several of my figures from when I was a kid. Unfortunately, He-Man lost his head some time ago (that darn rubber has a habit of breaking if twisted too often).

I've always wanted a Fright Zone, but that price is a little too high for what I would pay. Good price on Snake Mountain though (usual issue with the cuffs broken off it seems).

[1orion2many]

:)Cool pick ups Griffin, I liked He-Man but not to the point where I wanted to get the figures. I only blow my hard earned cash on Transformers Microman and on the rare occassion Saint Seiya:D

Well Ive had an interesting few weeks.... I got offered a full time job back at Telstra.. one that actually suits me. So no more sales or targets and all that junk. Just fixing computers, phones, lodging repairs, installing internet etc... Suits me just fine.

So after that I dicided that Id sell my dog grooming trailer.. which after putting new equipment in it and cleaning it up after buying it.. I managed to sell in less than 24 hours after listing it for $1500 more than what I spent on it.

So with my newly aquired $8,000 Ive dicided to go overseas... But yeah since the people who bought my trailer paid with paypal... i transfered it to my bank and its still floating around in cyberspace.. So when i used my visa debit card to pay for some sale fares on qantas... it was declined the next day.. oh noes T_T And if i didnt pay for the tix in 24 hours i was going to loose them... and pay 3 times as much to rebook and not get the flights i wanted.

.. I was stressing about it.. now Heres the highlight of the week - a guy at works aid "oh Ill pay for em.. you just pay me back" ... Like... O_O seriously?? who just offers someone $2800 loan?? He rang up and paid for my tickets so they are 100% solid confirmed.

So yes... im happy... i have joy... for once! :D

[Tiby]

I haven't opened any Transformers for some time. My original ROTF Optimus Prime is still in his box along with most of the ROTF line. Last night I opened a whole bunch of my new figures and put them all into my database on my iPad. I think my enthusiasm for my collection has been renewed!!!

Got my DSlite back from Nintendo. All fixed up. The only thing is they reset the software though. That's kind of a pain.

I am not sure how much they replaced. It was just the hinge that broke, but the top seems new and also has the screen protector I had on it :confused:

[1AZRAEL1]

Gonna watch the 2 new episodes of Futurama tonight :D:D:D:D:D

Hope they are good.

[1AZRAEL1]

Changing the subject, newest episode of Futurama was damn funny, and it seems they may be away with alot more now that it is being shown on Comedy Central and not FOX. Now to watch the next episode tonight (late, coz I'll wait for my fiance to come home before I watch it)

[1AZRAEL1]

Actual episode or the "movies"? What was it about?

Actual new episodes, continues on from Into the Wild Green Yonder. In the US, the movies were separated into 4 parts each and called season 5, so I am watching season 6 :D

First Ep is called Rebirth and is aboutAfter the events of Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder, the Planet Express Crew go through the wormhole and are brought back to Earth (the wormhole being Earth's channel for shipping). However, due to being chased by Zapp Brannigan, the ship crashes by the Planet Express building, leaving the Professor the only one to survive the crash, and he must bring the others back to life. The episode will focus on the relationship between Fry and Leela. Also during the third act, there will be a robot version of Leela.

Was actually pretty funny. Glad it is back, should never have been removed from tv.

[MV75]

Wow, I had no idea. I just looked it up on tv.com. Nice.

Gotta go and um, find them. :)

Whew! Finished marking my exam papers! I think I might have made the exam a little easy and none of my students failed the unit! :D (Not including the one who never attended classes and even skipped the final exam... :o)

Also the primary school kids who come to uni to do maths enrichment are having a break~ Also a break for me too. :D

Can finally get back into finishing the writing of my PhD thesis. Not much time left now but at least I can get back into full gear.

And the university is giving me a new unit to teach next semester! So I won't have to worry about money for the short term, until I go look for a new job after the whole PhD thing.

And of course, I met Summer Glau in the weekend. Best weekend ever!!!

I can understand your reasoning and I would be very tempted to open it too, but I don't think that I could bring myself to do it. Your have more jangles (as Gok would put it) than I. It would be awesome to touch something so vintage though :)

I love it when you find something that you thought you lost a long while ago.

I recently (yesterday) found a CD that contained all the photos, music, lyrics and a few other things from my band. Been a long time since I listened to most of it, and it has spurned me on again to get the demos re-recorded and possibly get the band back together. Looking back on it, I had a lot of fun recording those songs, and have some fond memories of my short music career. I do miss those times.

[DarkHyren]

I had PC problems which I finally got around to fixing (busyness + procrastination = no pc :() so that is happiness and I can visit this site again.

I also had an eBay seller commit some fruad, he took my money but never shipped my items.
But myself and several others that he cheated complained to eBay and it seems like they might actually do something about it (got notified that he was aparently "no longer a registered user").
Removing fraudsters from eBay = Satisfaction.
And PayPal got me my money back so that's great as well, but I didn't really doubt that happening.

So while not immensly joyful, it's still sorta satisfying all up :)

It's my second son's eighth birthday tomorrow and I can't wait to see his face when he opens his presents
They include a legends ROTF Devastator (which he has been saving his $2 a week pocket money for) and robot heroes G1 ironhide and kickback. He already has shrapnel and bombshell and has been hanging out to complete the insecticon trio.

I was very tempted by that too, but opted to go for the Neil Gaiman session the day before cos Neil's more the hero to me.

[heroic_decepticon]

After close to 10 months of searching and begging people who seem to have it, I've finally finally won an auction for it today, MIB-complete paperworks-and at a good price. WOOT! :D:D:D

(PS: hate begging people to sell me a toy. It's like reverse begging, cos I'm actually begging them to give them money. Glad I no longer have to do that. heh.)

It's the only item among those in my sig that I have been continually vocal about, one of the 15 Jap ones. Take a stab, take a guess. :D

From what I've heard "The Last Airbender" makes Dragonball Evolution look like a masterpiece.

TFormers.net and the Animated line are awesome - I never knew Animated Starscream had hidden forearm guns (move his missile launcher forward) or that Grimlock had extra alt-mode leg joints for added poseability.
Very cool.

[1AZRAEL1]

I love it when you re-discover something you haven't listened to in ages and you realise it is still awesome.

I found my Tubular Bells and Tubular Bells 2 cds by Mike Oldfield this morning. Some great pieces of music.

*grabs Starscream from display shelf*

Amazing that the first Animated figure I bought when the line came out was hiding this little secret from me all this time. I swear it wasn't in the instructions.

Excuse the french, but I almost pissed my pants when I read this news -

Mortal Kombat HD Kollection Confirmed In Development



Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection game for pre-order with a release date of November 2010 for the PlayStation 3


One store even noted that the mystery game will come with a demo for Mortal Kombat (2011)


TRMK has independently confirmed with multiple industry sources that a high definition Mortal Kombat arcade update is indeed currently in development. Mortal Kombat HD Kollection will be a 2D Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection (MK1, MK2 and UMK3) featuring all-new high resolution in game graphics - not simply upscaled graphics, but sharp, crisp, awesome-looking High Definition graphics.

Ever since MK2 hit the arcades I have been hunting for that perfect console version. Midway Arcade Classics 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Arcade_Treasures_2) has the best version to date with the SNES (http://au.gamespot.com/snes/action/mortalkombat2/index.html) a very close second.

I know what I'm asking santa for this year :D
