I need to vent!

Did you beat that A-hole up?

No, I didn't. He was twice my size.

Although there was one time my next door neighbour and I were playing with our Transformers in our driveway, and bigger kid (even bigger than the one who tore up my Slog tech specs) came along on his bike and tried to run over our TFs (thankfully his aim was crap - his wheels narrowly missed Mirage, Soundwave, Apeface and Snapdragon by centimetres) -- I was stunned, but my friend ran next door and called for reinforcements in the form of his mum!

Guh... there was one kid at school who swiped my Skalor and scratched the paint off his nose on purpose (he totally denied it of course). Ironically he later sold me a Cyclonus for $2 (in hindsight he probably shoplifted it, but it never occured to me at the time) -- so on one hand he was willing to pick on me for my Transfandom, but on the other hand he was happy to exploit my Transfandom to make a quick two bucks. :/

so pissed off with myself right now i went into Harvey Norman this evening to buy a wireless router which at the time i thought included the whole modem thing built into it but turns out it doesnt (yeah im really out of the tech loop atm) usually i do my research to make sure i buy the right thing this time i didnt and i screw myself over because after finding out that its not a modem as well i read the receipt and it stated that there are no refunds if you change your mind or buy the wrong item i'll try anyway but if not theres money straight dwon the drain...

Just say you bought it for someone as a present, but someone else bought it for them already. Usually works doing that at other stores I notice

...interesting... cos I have a modem at home, but I want something so that I can connect to it wirelessly. Perhaps this wireless router you speak of is what I seek. I should tell them specifically what I want before purchasing though.

yea you need a wireless modem router. but you can usually plug your adsl modem into your wireless router to make your internet wireless.

They should do Thundercracker and Dirge at this point to finish this up for regular collectors.

Yeah, I see that going over well. "Hey, let's piss off the fans a lot more than we already have on this issue." That sounds like a real good idea...

Oh noes! They killed Optimus Prime!

*sigh*

Are you into Xbox Halo sessions and such? If so, that router isn't totally useless. Make it a dummy switch and you can connect up to 3 other TV/360's to yours for some radcore gaming sessions.

I think those people on those boards are upset about 'having' to pay a fortune for the BotCon seekers, when really their own shortsightedness is to blame for ignoring the obvious eventual release of the remaining Seekers by Hasbro or Takara. We all know well that Hasbro and even Takara will redeco and remould figures as much as possible, especially moulds used for the Seekers and Optimus.

Besides, Hasbro versions of Thundercracker, Thrust and Dirge, won't be the same as the BotCon ones. And the Hasbro ones won't even be the same as the Takara ones either.

They seem to think that BotCon have exclusive rights to those three Classics Seekers just becaue they produced their versions of them. They would only have exclusivity to the remoulded parts and specific colour schemes on their own figures - something that Hasbro and Takara don't/didn't have anyway. And the value of BotCon Thrust will still hold because it is a different mould and colour to the Hasbro version.
And what of Universe Overkill? It was also a BotCon figure, but no one seemed to care when Hasbro released it as well (in a different colour scheme of course).
