Blood for the Baron!

Agree. Done in 2003.

Here's the famous photo of her driving away after me giving here a typical Dutch treat. Photo was taken in Paris. She did not want to come all the way to Amsterdam. The cheeky little c*nt!

She looks very pleased Jaye - obviously a job well done. Good work mate!

I was thinking about getting some of the Palitoy teams but then Empireisland disappeared off the internet they had some SAS figures I also got outbid on a Z Force collection on e-bay it had no Quarrel or Steeler but was worth trying to get.

a) your'e lucky, it can take ages to complete a toy 'cause of all the small bits that go missing, unless..
b) except, if your'e in a hurry to complete a piece, e-Bays handy & easier but makes it very expensive!
c) too many knock-offs & unofficial reproductions/copies of rare vintage stuff available online, it gets confusing.
d) it can take over your life

But don't let me put you off

Can't be worse than Vintage Star Wars. There are stands full of Transformers at Memorabilia and they keep on calling me, I can't hold out for much longer. I only want the ones from 84 to mid 87, after that they're rubbish. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi you're my only hope.

That's what I thought..but you start picking things up from the later years, thinking "Oh, I used to like that guy in the comic.." or "Well it's very cheap & good condition, I could always swap it later.."

I picked up Utra Magnus last weekend for £8, thinking "He only needs a pair of fists to complete!",so now I'll spend a long time looking for 'em!

just recieved my only TF grail, a MIB Gen 1 Optimus Prime, will post pics when taken.

My Joe wishlist extends to the 2 ( I hope it's only 2 ) missing prototypes/ testshots that I need for my Firefly collection.

And any original mould type Alley Vipers

Big fists or little fists?

I have never forgiven myself for getting rid of my original transformers so the bug is there. I even had the STARS command centre as a kid. Oh what I fool I was.

I'm in need of both set really..but I'd be happy with just the large ones, so he looks like the way I remember him in the comics..he's started to grow me now, the cab looks "class" painted in white, better than the blue of the original Diaclone one, but I think that versions trailer looks better..


Luckly my folks have a large attic, & just put every thing in storage that wasn't broken from my childhood..thats 35 years & still counting

The toy Ultra Magnus isn't that great as the poseability is quite poor plus he's quite fragile. I love the diaclone stuff purely because you get multiples of what we consider main characters.

wow, that's proto-Magnus, proto-Wheeljack, a red proto-Tracks, prot-Mirage, proto-Prowl, proto-Sideswipe and possibly proto-Jazz in there...

(hope there was a 'toys don't really fly, weapons don't really fire' disclaimer )
