Wow, that's great. How much did it end up costing?

About AU$875.

I consider that I good price for this piece, in the great unused condition it's in, given the prices that even the Japanese as asking for nowadays.

Today, I got an email from Eric Holmes, the writer of Megatron Origin.

He basically commended my blog-site as a good resource and said that he enjoyed my analysis of the Megatron Origin storyline and was glad that I picked up so many of the G1-references that he put in there.

Really, really made my day. My wife is very happy that my site has (amongst other things) facilitated such a connection with the TF community.

I am thinking of taking this opportunity to ask him about Megatron Origin and some of the things I was not very clear on and what he would have done, why he did certain things, etc. Are there any things any one feels should be asked? (not guaranteeing an answer, but since he started a conversation, I'd really like to know more!).

There were my posts from 2007 that Eric was commenting on.

Heroic, you put in a hell of a lot of time, effort and money into what you do and your Blog is truly a representation of that.
Congratulations dude, I can't say I'm surprised though as it's about time.

BotCon was a lot of fun! Great way to finish the US part of my trip: an overdose of TransFandom. Enjoyed getting to know more people and sharing the weekend with them all. Didn't spend too much but did have to post three packages home as I managed to get 18 items from my list of things I wanted to get on this trip.

Now to catch up on sleep on the flight to London.

I am SO SO SO HAPPY right now.
Received a call from the Operational Support manager just after 7.30. Accepting my resignation, no need to come in as planned tomorrow (Wednesday) as they will pay me out until the 1st July.

What he said next made me so happy - in the resignation I mentioned I could no longer work in a place that allowed harassment and bullying - they conducted the investigation by asking my manager and they accepted his answer.

So glad I am finally out ...
2 weeks until I am unemployed and broke ..

Anyone got some job leads? (Yes I am considering moving to AU)
Until then I have plenty of action figures and Transformers to sell

There is heaps of jobs out there depending on what you do (at least in Sydney & Melbourne). Sounds like you had a lucky escape to me & you will be better served with another company.

Good luck with the hunt for a new job but I am sure you will find the right one.

I have the final interview for my (hopefully) new job tomorrow. A 3 hour interview/assesment & having to give a presentation to a board is a bit daunting.

Prowl is right, if you want jobs - go to Sydney/Melbourne. Adelaide is a deadbeat zone for jobs.

On this point, don't do anything you might end up regretting. Jobs are just a means to an end. Without an end, they are meaningless.

Woot, finally have our wedding date set in stone. Been tentative for a while, but now that we have booked and paid for our reception venue, it's now set.

Oh and a cool thing we have bought for our wedding toast (and only used on each anniversary) is this pair of Dragon glasses. Fiance saw and fell in love with them, so we scoured the web to find them, and found them on Ebay US. Pretty neato I reckon. (anyone who knows us or been to our house would know we love dragons/skulls/mythical stuff )

Congratulations!
