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!

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

:eek:OMG, one of the people going with my sister in law to the AC/DC concert have pulled out. I bought the spare ticket and have just wet my pants with excitement:D

:eek:OMG I'm still deaf from last night and loving it:D:D:D:D

For those interested in Alestorm, tix are on sale now, and fairly cheap as well. And sorry youngens, over 18's.

You can buy them through Moshtix

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.

I tell you what has me excited right now - God Of War III being released next week!! Been hanging for this game to come out for ages. It's the reason why I got myself a PS3.

I really should get myself a PS3 as well. I have Arkham Asylum sitting at home with nothing to play it on :p

Plus for all these new games that I want to buy coming out.

i picked up the Star Wars Legacy Millenium Falcon todayand it is so cool i love it :D

Im getting glasses! :eek:

Which is good:) because my headaches from reading have been killing me!:(

Seems like Hey Hey may be coming back for good. Saw more ads for Red Faces Auditions for Hey Hey last night. Bout bloody time, should not have been taken off the air IMO

:)I think they are going to do 4 shows in a year:)

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

*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

I have a confession to make... in the Intel Chorus, 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)

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

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 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) 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...

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.

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

Now I feel like an idiot...
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transf...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:

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...
