You'd hate Roberts too if he robbed you of your Draiftu and then wrote him considerably better and made everyone like the character as opposed to thinking he smelled of feet.

TOY POST

So a while back I bought the Perfect Effect torso upgrade kit for CW Menasor. This included a torso addition, a sword extension and a new head. Or at least, it was supposed to. Mine arrived without a head. I just received the replacement and the vendor was so nice that they just shipped me a whole kit. So I have a torso and sword piece from the kit that I do not need.

Does anyone here want these? For cost of shipping.

But that he got so combatitive off the bat it a bad sign, especially as he's done it before. I've seen people do this on twitter and it's never a good look, but I appreciate he deleted it but the damage is done imo. And again, I like Roberts, I think he's a clearly talented writer with great ideas, a brilliant sense of plotting and character development but the stories he's telling and the characters he's framing have no interest for me, and there are other characters and plot points he's seeded that I want to see carry on
When I first talked to him about how he seems to use the ability to transform as metaphor for any uncontrollable characteristic that would cause a person to be marginalised depending on the story he literally physically flinched and pulled back as if I was going to dive over the table at him. That kind of made me think that he maybe actually has been assaulted by some fan who was angry about the gay robots. Given how lovely we are as a group I can understand him reacting badly to fans online once in a while.

BBTS just reintroduced their $4 flat rate shipping on all orders. Makes ordering from them more appealing.


Edit: also installed this PE kit, I love how it looks.

I'm a bit annoyed about the G2 version, I bought it when it was originally released and left it in my pile of loot and when they shipped my order they didn't have one to send me so I'm still waiting on that.

I never got around to getting the chest kit for Superion and don't really feel like I need it. Same for Computron but that one adds quite a bit more to the package overall.

Apologies if this was already posted, but people have been finding Fortress Maximus marked down to $40 at Ollie's Bargain Outlet, which is kind of a rednecky version of Big Lots.

I called my local one yesterday, and they said they got ten in on Friday, but they all sold out within an hour. They said they might get more, so keep checking. People on TFW2005 seem to be having decent luck finding them.

Someone on a FB group seemed to have found some at Ollies further reduced for $5, which is amazingly :stare:

Yeah, there's seperate stickers that they scan so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a jackass that swapped stickers. If the cashier didn't know what it was it'd be pretty easy to do.

I have an extra Ollies Fortress Maximus that I'd like to offer up to goony goons first. Ideally I'd like to trade it for something neato, but if nothing stands out I'll sell it for the cost I paid plus shipping.

If it'd be better to take this to PMs or post a SA-Mart ad I can do that too.
