Out of the cup, manager-less and in the relegation zone! The only way is up....

Catching up on daily Blokee builds. Thursday was Vortex.

I decided to do something crazy today. I went to Leicester Vintage Toy Shop and made a purchase. Metroplex is the only Titan I don't own. I regret not buying one for £90 from Toys R Us when it was released.

Sound!

Haha, holy shit, Studio Series Shockwave has shown up at retail in Singapore, and turns out he has designed-in compatibility with AOTP Bruticus! (Image source is reportedly somebody by the name of Spectre515)

Tonight's Blokee opening is Beast Wars Barney.... Sorry, Megatron.

Evening Amazon arrival. Really surprised to get these from them:

Today's late night Blokee build is Perceptor.

Foxes do quit....

Let's have a light show when there is less than a quarter of the fans here. What a great way to waste money!

I got the latest set of Blokees defenders over the weekend and forgot to post pictures. Here's a quick catch up. Saturday was Rodimus:

All the way from Australia to the UK. The packaging is lovely.

They've put the first series of Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia on iPlayer. I'm in spelling heaven. If you want a laugh, fill your boots!

Reddit is amazing sometimes.

Big Convoy with a big gun

I've built my LEGO (ish) Gingerbread AT-AT. Yes, it's way after Christmas, but who cares.

Big Convoy is here.

After finishing watching the Royal Rumble yesterday, here's my thoughts: It was a bit lacklustre and the winners all a bit predictable. Oba getting eliminated by Brock was dumb. Needed to be the other way around. Why were La Parka and Mr Iguana in there, other than cannon fodder?

After the enjoyment of opening a Haslab figure, this now feels massively anticlimactic.

My third LEGO F1 car build:

Lego Delorean built. What a fun build. Yes, the doors aren't gull-wing, but it's still incredibly detailed for a small build.

I've got some cars to build!

Dax and Power BI can be so stupid at times. I've just spent ages trying to Union two data sets, that are in exactly the same order and structure. Power BI decides to change the order of two of the columns. I have to manually tell it what order everything should be in. Screw you Power BI!

Popcultcha in Australia has the Transformers timelines samurai Optimus/Starscream pack in stock. Even with shipping, it works out about £20 cheaper than buying it from Pulse (and they won't have it in stock for months!) www.popcultcha.com.au/transformers...

Quinty is here

It's almost as big as an actual cat, it has terrible gimmicks, it can't stand up by itself, it's likely to shoot you in the face with its missiles and it doesn't scale with anything. Supreme Cheetor is a hot mess.

I just beat mega Rayquaza on my third attempt (Diancie FTW). Stupid no reset mechanic if you lose though. Then I used my saved ingredients to make a 99 donut. Went after Latiosite and Latiasite with it. Won the battle with one hit via first impression from Golisopod. Complete waste of a donut.

My Blokees wheels CT01 Optimus Prime with trailer arrived. It's really good fun to build. The clip on the trailer to close it up requires a bit of positioning, but other than that a great build.

We are incredibly frustratingly shit to watch. Why do we watch football again?

For anyone who wants a Quintesson High Commander from TFOne, In Demand have some coming in soon at a bargain price: indemandtoys.co.uk/products/tra...

I love Airachnid, but it took about 20 minutes to change modes. The instructions really don't help.

Today's haul

Since I've not got much else to do, I'm watching Smackdown live. Or rather, I'm watching adverts occasionally interrupted by wrestling.

The last of the Blokees wheels to be opened is Yellow Hound aka Swindle.

Since I'm by myself for the first time in years tonight, I treated myself to some posh little cakes. They look massive in the photo, but they are tiny.

I walked home and it wasn't dark. It seems like ages since that was the case.

I'm going to mention something nobody else will have heard of. I loved Amanda's Table back in the late 90s.

Early evening arrival of a big book!

My penultimate Blokees wheels build is Megatron. It was very fiddly to put together and there's no metal in this one. I'd prefer it if the treads at the front and back were level.

Today's Blokees wheels opening is Swerve. The blaster is great.

I opened Blokees wheels Radiant Edition Rodimus yesterday. The driver was a real pain to put together.

I forgot to post the last couple of days of Blokees wheels openings. Monday was Dragstrip.

This cost 1% of the new LEGO Pokémon set.

Just caught Kyogre and Groudon in Legends Z-A. Now the game tells me I've got to get 100,000 research points to get Rayquaza..... What the actual fuck!

Today's Blokee wheels build is Optimus Prime. I might need to track down the trailer for this now.

Today's Blokee wheels build was Hound. A solid, fun build.

No your eyes don't deceive you, today's Blokee wheels opening is not a Mirage.

My shiny hunting in Pokémon legends Z-A is going well. I just wish they didn't force trade evolution on people. I don't have many friends, so I'm stuck with Porygon, Machoke and Spritzer. Hopefully they link it to home soon, which may help.

A bit of an odd choice for Blokees wheels this time, it's Scamper.

Absolutely wiped after a seven and a half hour day of online training. I've got the same again tomorrow, if the weather holds off.
