Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

360. PS3 version doesn't have a mute function for multiplayers, and there are a LOT of annoying talkers in the game!
So if you'd rather play a game _without_ hearing other players:
+ Talking about irrelevant crap
+ Swearing
+ Screaming
+ Laughing
+ Complaining
+ More swearing
+ Shouting at their mothers
+ Singing (very badly, but they think they're good)
+ Still more swearing
+ Playing random blasphemous non-TF music very loudly in the background
+ Heavy breathing
+ White noise
+ Still even more swearing
...avoid the PS3 version at all costs!

If you get the PS3 version you'll be able to play games with me :-) If you want to mute players talking simply turn on a headset but don't wear it. I haven't come across too many talkers online though. Plus PS3 is better than xbox

I'm on almost every day after work too.

Unreal engine games usually end up being slightly better on the 360. I haven't played the PS3 version though so I dunno. I don't think there's any massive difference between the 2 versions.

I'm wondering what stands you guys use in your displays. I'd like to put MP Ravage in a leap like in the shot on the box, also I'd like to make some deluxe's take flight.

Also for the question about FOC. I always get games I want to play multiplayer on 360 because of the ability to mute everyone that's not a friend. Also I don't like the triggers on PS3 at all, glad they have fixed that on PS4. I'd get the 360 version.

Most of my toys just stand in fairly 'neutral' stances. But for me, my display is more for "open/accessible toy storage" rather than for "static action pose" purposes. I started keeping my TFs on display out of toy boxes since 1985 -- started using a book case in 1988, purely because I was playing with my TFs more than any other toy I didn't want to have to rummage through Legos, MotU, Star Wars etc etc. to find specific Transformers to play with. By having my TFs on display, if I want to play with an exact TF, I know just where to find it. So if I want to play with a toy I'll take it from its shelf, play with it, then put it back. Also to me there's a certain cool aesthetic about having them just all stand there like a Terracotta^plastic army.

But from a practical POV, neutral stances also take up less space than dynamic action poses. If you got the space for it and that's the sort of thing you like, then go for it. But for me, space is a limited commodity.

Cheers Dude. You blog is always a good read

Aw shucks, Thanks man, and yer welcome!

Not exactly figure related, but FOC game, is it any good? And should I get it for Ps3 or 360? I did play WFC on 360.

Usually the Xbox has slightly better textures (?) Or so I hear. I'd go for Ps3, but thats coz I dont have an xbox

And yes it is rather good. The first game in ages where I stopped after bits and said "OH $41T YEAH! THAT WAS COOL!"

Which being a jaded old gamer is quite an endorsement.

Ou can mute other players on PS3, just for some reason you can't do it on FOC

Nearly every other game I have played allows you to mute those with which you would rather not converse.

Actually, I just realised that it's a feature built into the game, not the console itself. So it would appear that Xbox finally got 1 up on PS3

Does anyone know how tracking numbers for post work after they leave the USA? I've been waiting for my G1 Krok for months. The tracking number keeps coming up with the same message about it being dispatched to a sorting office in the US. Contacted the seller multiple times and he says since it has a tracking number, its not his fault if the tacking number does not work outside his country and not his problem if I don't recieve it. Help please!

Try putting the tracking number into the Australia Post site. Some tracking numbers show up in there system online, others you have to call the 13POST number and ask a person. It depends on which level of postage you buy.

I had an item stop reporting new events for months before it finally showed up at the door one day. And that was using the fastest shipping from Amazon.com

What DELTAprime said, try tracking through AustPost.

If it's still within 45 days of being bought you could start a PayPal dispute. Assuming you used PayPal and the seller is verified.
