I mean, for a recolour of a figure I tihnk's pretty poor. But, y'know, JSDAF, right?

*reassuring pat*

Conviction is the key. Money is a poor substitute for love, etc. You made the right choice.

So how much did it sell for?

I'll print that off, memorise it and say to Sar.

EDIT: Actually, it's the chap's mental shipping rate that really costs... what is it with Americans and shipping to Europe? Do they just make it up?

He probably heard about this crazy English guy who'll pay any amount and thought he'd try his luck.

You mean most of us Americans?

That tilts the balance back a bit. I've already got the Japanese version, but this one's French, meaning I can legitimately call him Blownapart or Bomb Voyage.

I'd be half-suprised if Brend didn't have that. He does like those god-awful Duocons... Especially Battletrap

Do you have even the remotest idea what you're talking about?

Yes.

Those two vehicles appear to combine into one robot. Duocons did the same thing. Brendocon appears to have a weird addiction to that subgroup. Plus it's a gobot, and I don't know his stance on Gobots

Therefore I'd be half-suprised if Brend had it.

So, by that logic, someone who likes Optimus Prime will also like Animorphs, yes? Same rough concept, utterly different toys.

Or "likes Flywheels".

Yeh, a lot of them are going to go that way, so it's probably going to be best to think before you post from now on.

Halfshell · Post by **Halfshell** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 9:33 pm

I'm not "addicted to the subgroup".

There are precisely two Duocons (Overlord doesn't count).

One of them is ****ing awful (Battletrap).

The other is the greatest toy in the history of the universe. Not just because he manages to be both a tank and a jet at the same time, but because the toy is fun.

Here endeth the lesson.

I'll keep that in mind. Sorry for the trouble Cliffjumper, Brendocon.

Sooooo, other than the name you decide to call him is he exactly the same as the one you already have in every way?

And I'm the one who like Battletrap.

Nope, recolour - certainly as far as the truck (Japanese one is red) is concerned. No idea about the tank, difficult to tell. Basically not miles from owning Buzzsaw and Laserbeak, at any rate.

Phew, that's alright then, I thought you'd found the edge and fallen off for a second there. Bomb Voyage is the greatest name ever.

Funniest thing is whenever I do go too far and bid a fortune on some ludicrous variation, some nutcase always seems to outbid me...
