Was it Feb 15th for Parramatta and Feb 22nd for Granville?

Other way around I am pretty sure

The Fair itself was even more disappointing than usual, unless you're into overpriced Henkeis. But as always, great to catch up with peeps. I also brought along my copy of MP Ultra Magnus' booklet (JP version) for show and tell, which I'm sure everyone was thoroughly sick of at it at the end.

Picked up Thundertron and Hydradread from Starscream77
Delivered Generations Swerve and Skrapnel to fatbot and mknell respectively
Awesome food court social (got to meet Handsprime ) followed by visit to TRU
Picked up One Step Changer High Octane Bumblebee, Steeljaw & chopper Drift from TRU w/ 25% voucher (thanks Paul_Agnew)
Went to Phantom Zone and picked up TF comics

We arrived at the food court earlier than usual, so Maccas (and KFC) seemed to be the only places open for breakfast. The girl who served me was actually one of my students. I let her fiddle with Thundertron, and she held it ransom saying that I needed to purchase a Happy Meal to get it back! I managed to rescue Thundertron when her back was turned.
