Well, a lot has gone on since our last update. Transformers are now main stream again! In every store on the high street!! I just picked up the new Movie on HD-DVD, it is amazing in High Definition! 

Anne and I recently got married! In Las Vegas of all places!! It is an amazing place, we had such a ball! We can't wait to go back.

We seem to be getting all the same TF stuff the USA is getting, and not much is being released in Japan at the moment. That's why there's not been any major additions to my site recently, but as soon as any cool TF's start appearing, I'll get them and put them up here! -Don

08 August 2007

Hi everyone! Have you seen the movie yet? If you haven't, GO SEE IT NOW!!! It blew us away! Sure there's a few things I have issues with, but I can live with them just to see Giant Robots kicking each others butts!!!

Anyway, a lot of people have been asking why I haven't updated the site for a while. Well, Anne and I have gone and gotten Engaged! Following that we've moved in together, got new jobs, decorated etc. So I have had trouble keeping on top of adding things to the News page. Also Hasbro has been busy promoting the movie and keeping most high street shops full of Transformers! It's not worth me getting the same toys in as you can buy in your local Tesco!!

Thanks for popping by!
-Don

First off, Happy New Year to everyone! It's been a while since our last update, so there's plenty of things to catch up on! Hasbro seems to have pulled it's finger out and made plenty of the latest Transformers available in the UK!

New stock in - US. Soundwave re-issue, Cybertron Smokescreen, Titanium Rodimus and Soundwave, US. Classics Optimus Prime Vs. Megatron DVD edition. These are not listed on the website due to very low stock remaining, but if you are interested please e-mail us your orders.

With the new movie coming out, there is a lot of merchandise coming out to support it. We will be getting items that will not be available in the UK when they are released. Nothing is certain yet but as soon as I have stock lists and prices, I will put them up here for pre-orders.

Other Pre-orders- Ehobby THS-02b Black Hybrid Convoy - Approx £60, MP-05 Megatron - Approx £80, KISS player Autorooper - £45, Revoltech Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus - Approx £20each.

Well, we're back from Memorabilia! It was wonderful to meet everyone who came. We were able to put some faces to names and talk Transformers to so many people! A huge thank you to Xybertoys, who looked after us for the weekend! As it was our first Memorabilia, we had no idea how friendly everyone would be, especially Francis Lee, the creator of the graphic novel "Tales Of Midnight", soon to be a movie and TV series. He even gave us some limited edition posters that will be available at our next show! You can see his work here: http://www.beyondstarlight.co.uk/, and a picture of Anne!

Special thanks to: Lee for giving us our first Christmas card of 2005, also to Kevin for selling his Yu-Gi-Oh cards to buy TF's! And to the young man who took home the Japanese R.I.D Scourge, the joy in his eyes made my weekend!!

09 November 2005

Big news! We are going to be at the Memorabilia show at the NEC at the end of the month! As guests of our friends at Xybertoys. We will have all the stock we have here available, aswell as loads of other stuff from all Transformer genres. Please come and see us and give us your support, as it is our first time at the NEC!! Don

18 September 2005

Spent most of the day making the site. Deciding on format, colours, fonts etc.   I will have it mastered by tomorrow! Don

Added the shopping cart. Have a few problems: Can't make it add items together before checkout, hmm.... Also can't add post and packing after purchase. I hope I can get it to work soon! Don
