@querion you could be right – but then my sister and brother might be mad at me for all the lego that they have to store in their houses before their kids move out 😛 20 Silver Florins for responses.
@limburger the battle systems stuff is great. Which sets/kickstarter did you end up getting? I have a tonne of stuff for the dungeon one – really happy with it. Congratulations on the savings plan, hope when you decide to buy you can find something nice in a reasonably short time 🙂 heh, sounds like the Australian Amazon – I’m sure it will improve with time, the Aus one has only been operating this year so they’re probably just still sorting out the bugs and amassing vendors etc. 40 Silver Florins for responses.
@woldenspoons heh, sundar roast and mcdonalds kind of sound polar opposites on the quality scale to me. Probably on the nutritional one too for that matter. Glad AoS games were fun. 30 Silver Florins for responses.
@mage seems like you are working on or playing in a different game or setting every night of the week – This can only be a good thing 🙂 yes I can see where you’re coming from with the themed lego – the only thing I would have really liked with regard to lego as a kid was green bricks, which they didn’t have until much later (apparently they were concerned people would use them to build tanks). Sale thread was here, this is the Aus mirror of a NZ site so postage to your side of the world would likely be prohibitive, but here you go:

There is a thread up for BF sales elsewhere on the site. 50 Silver Florins for posts and responses.
@rayzryr food and drink between the adults sounds like a really nice approach, especially if you get to share it with one another. Reminds me that one year my GF’s family did ‘food themed’ small gifts one year, so it was things like gourmet spices, cookbooks good coffee beans or cooking oils, all of which was somewhat practical and not too difficult to buy. Heh yes with hollywood films being recycled so often now it’s not really surprising that toy franchises are getting the same treatment. Although with a few of them (I’m thinking Transformers and the marvel and DC comics ones here) they had quieter periods but never really went away…). yeah, pre-Christmas sales are to get the jump on your competitors boxing day sales. So now there are black friday sales ahead of the pre christmas sales. And singles day ahead of that. Give it three years and escalation will mean sales from March onwards 😛 Heh, still have a copy of Space Crusade. My neighbour had hero quest. both were lots of fun at the time. I don’t know where you found that ramen guy, I’m just grateful he doesn’t work in my office… 50 Silver Florins for posts and responses (and invoking nostalgia).
@dawfydd Wolves look fantastic! and that’s a lot of dakka on the DW Kill-team. I’m assuming it’s for tactical flexibility in games? Otherwise just eyeballing it it looks like about 200 points worth. Mind you, bigger games could be a lot of fun 🙂 Nice that your Grey Hunters pack have a bit of a back story. I have a High Elves army sort of like that – actually nothing like that. I started in 5th ed Warhammer and I’m just a really slow painter (plus the army sort of got stupidly big on me over the last 20 years…). wow those are some shiny Transformers! I really must break my G1 ones out of storage and make sure they are ok/retouch if required. And yes, trying hard to think of a better live performance… If I get one that comes close I’ll put it up for consideration… Nope, still nothing 😉 70 Silver Florins for posts, tunes, collectible eye candy and progress.
@voidifremoved welcome! Yes that 1000 Homo DJ’s cover is awesome. A Ministry side project featuring Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails on vocals covering Black Sabbath – how can you go wrong? 🙂 A T-rex that throws other dinosaurs? That sounds beyond awesome! My inner four year old is doing cartwheels at the thought. Re Army Painter primer rather than have me do a terrible job of explaining it I’ll just drop this link here from the Army Painter bootcamp:
The whole weekend had great tips in it for batch painting armies if you ever feel like going back through it all. What mini are you working on? 30 Silver Florins for question responses
@arkmechanicus welcome! Best of luck with the Fyreslayers, please keep us posted on progress (or throw up some pics 🙂 ). 20 Silver Florins for joining in and a hobby pledge.
@horati0nosebl0wer yes it would probably be possible to fill a thread with nothing but Gary Numan covers if one were so inclined. heh, G1 Megatron was only legal for sale in one state in Australia because his alt mode looked so realistic. As I understand it you have still to get a special permit as a collector to import one. 30 Silver Florins for detailed posts and responses.
