That would have been tops. Saw them at the BDO back in 2000. Man I feel old :o

Rome was by my favourite, followed closely by Venice.

Speaking of Rome, My wife found a shop there that sold quite a decent range of TFs. It was great:) If I wasn't on a very strict time limit I could have spent hours in there even though it was a tiny shop. Anyway I picked myself up a couple of 3rd party items after some haggling, an iGear MP Ramjet and a MMC HoS Thundercracker. :cool:



Here is their website. If you're ever in Rome, I recommend you have a look. Their English is pretty much non-existant though. We caught a taxi there from the Vatican museum, had him wait for us out the front for 20 minutes, then drive us back to our hotel, on the other side of Rome, all for 25 euro.

The only downside to the whole holiday was that I got sick in Hong Kong. Feeling like you have been hit by a bus does not make for a pleasant flight home :(

Glad you had a great honeymoon Trent, it's great when you're better half supports spending a little time in a place like that, on a trip like that. The last day of our honeymoon was an unplanned stopover in San Francisco due to our flight being cancelled. we spent the day driving around shopping, I ended up with a kit bag full of baseball gear with a few transformers squeezed in for good measure. Mrs UltraMarginal obviously bought stuff too:D
Good times

Boxes always come in handy, but we should be ok. Thanks for the offer! :D

The short moves are worse, because the temptation to not label and pack properly is higher. good luck with the move Megatron. sounds like you have some great plans for the new place. :cool:

hard to beat seeing a favorite band live, unless you get to see them live for free. :eek:


I've been spending the last few nights getting buried in Fall Of Cybertron, It is SOOO much fun stomping around as Grimlock punching stuff.

Also spent the last few weeks opening up most of my First Edition Prime figures, awesome transformations.
I had Arcee balanced on the desk in a karate pose, just couldn't get it to balance anywhere except in front of the keyboard. now I'll have to try it at home.

Watched Episode 1 of TF Prime on Blue Ray the other day.

OH. MY. THE. PRETTY.:eek::eek::D:D:cool::cool:

Just found out that Akira Toriyama is directing a new DBZ movie Battle of Gods...HELL YEAH!!!

That is some damn fine work there Yuki! :eek:

Great job Yuki. Really convincing gun.:D

As some of you know, in mid-August 2011 I lost my Transformers Generations Deluxe book. For those who may not know, this book is essentially the Bible of G1/G2 TFs! So I was shattered when I came home from the meet without it, convinced that I'd lost it outside. :( I've been severely missing this book for the last year and a half -- I've asked people in Japan to keep a look out for this book, including on Japanese online stores like Amazon, but to no avail. When I was in Japan, I kept an eye out for this book, but didn't see any. :( But today I just randomly found it in the cupboard under the stairs! :D

I think I should write my name and mobile number on the inside cover of the book. Let's face it... I have no intention of ever selling this book, so why not? ;)

Nice find! Just like a new one :D You could write your name and number in it but it wont help if you leave it under a cupboard again :p


Just got in a small parcel from overseas - It was advertised as a vintage Twincast with box but one of the cassettes included didn't quite belong. So I hit the buynow and crossed my fingers. It was an autobot but not steeljaw!! Pics to come in the weekend. :D:D Very happy Indeed. :D:D

This is the longest I've held on to a hobby now (since May last year-pathetic: I KNOW:o:D) and I intend to keep it this time.:D

Just remember that you don't have to be constantly acquiring new TFs to be involved in this hobby. I've been collecting TFs as an adult for around 10 years now but there have been periods of years where I didn't buy a TF. (Which I appear to be making up for now):o

A great day today I am so happy and excited!

Changed over to energy australia and got $100 off first bill and discounts thereafter. Now we have gas and electricity under one company.

Congrats Sharky, I have an 18 month old daughter and she is the centre of my world. Children are the greatest thing we will ever do.

And found out our new baby due in May is a BOY. Time to TF up his new room !!!

I had a gas-boosted solar hot water service at a previous residence, and only had the gas booster switched on about 4 months of the year. The only gas we used was the stovetop and oven, so I once had a quarterly bill of about $15. Renewable energy FTW!:D

Starscream77 - awesome news! I agree, kids are the best. Is it just me or does there seem to be a fair bit of reproduction going on around OTCA at the moment? Good times!:D
