    I hit the 1500 mark with my Transformers collection with Jetwing Optimus Prime being my 1500th. Still pretty stoked about that.

    Also today's my birthday and I got to spend it with my family by taking our daughter out to this event which encourages kids to read (and encourages parents to read to their kids) -- they had songs, music, magic tricks, petting zoo, sausage sizzle... I thought I'd be bored, but I just had too much fun spending time with my protoform today. One of my best birthdays ever. Sure beats the time when I ended up being 'homeless' in Tokyo on my birthday... that kinda sucked

    Started my new job today. It's down the road from my house so no more travelling an hour for work. It's also less hours and better pay. I'm home by 330 every afternoon.
    It's all win.

    Congratulations Goki - Both on the fact that you've reached a collection of 1500 figures, as that's insane, but also as you happen to share the same Birth date as my Father which is both concerning and answers a number of questions.

    All engines are bloody heavy when you're trying to hold them up whilst laying flat on your back underneath the vehicle and you've only got the bloody thing propped up on ramps and wheel stands and the Engine is only supported by a Block and Tackle.

    I whole heartedly agree that nothing beats the sound and feeling of a Naturally Aspirated V8 engine - After an 8 grand rebuild though Loopy, that thing is bound to be a beauty!

    That's excellent news dude, I'm really happy for you as that sort of thing basically doesn't happen in our region at all.
