Too late to pack anything else for the @tfnationltd.bsky.social minicon now as I'm on my way, but happy to meet up and discuss any of these in person if you're interested! Also doing a spot of what the kids call guerilla marketing, if this helps you find me:

Bump for the morning crowd!

🧵 Got some toys from the collection & a bit of TFN stock left over from the summer - Prices in the pictures & don't include postage. Happy to hand things over at TFN Reading but need payment in advance after being left hanging on a few collection meetups lately 😢

Most of these are still available :)

Reposting for the morning crowd:

#Gundam Kit/ #Gunpla sales! 40+ kits so far, prices don't include postage, UK or otherwise. Open to deals on multiple items, or trading for #GundamTCG cards (mostly LR/Promo/alt-art versions I'm interested in now). More details after the pics! Thunderbolt Gundam vs Zaku Set £85.00

Something a bit different - will be listing up some Gundam kits (or Gunpla, if you're cool) for sale shortly. Probably some Games Workshop Warhammer stuff soon too.

I'm looking for stories about how AI is killing creative work, and I'd love to hear from you—artists, writers, illustrators, actors, designers, editors, voice actors and narrators—if your job or practice has been hit. This is going to be a big one. [email protected]

So whole I applied as soon as I heard applications were open, it seems like I didn't hear about them until it was too late to have had any chance of actually getting a spot :/

Rejected from TFN Reading minicon again, that's... Three rejections in a row now. And this one I'm pretty sure I applied for in the first day applications opened. Not sure what I'm supposed to do differently to get a table nowadays.

Need people to stop throwing every single media property into a 60 fps AI upscaler and uploading it to YouTube because the results never look good and it’s all operating under the weird gamer-based idea that, actually, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is better at 60 fps because more frames means smooth

UK based art chums, I've a 1st gen Wacom One tablet I don't need. It was with a friend who has since returned it. It's working & free to a good home, rather than the quickest to see this getting it. Email tillallarefunATgmailDOTcom subject WACADAY. I'll pick a winner at random on 8/9/25.

Just a quick follow-up to this - everything is packed and the shipping purchased. Just needs to be collected!

What feels like an absolutely timeless sentiment and could be aimed at any number of things going on right now.

So just as I thought I was recovering okay, I managed to fall down the stairs this morning 🫠 I'm alright but this is getting ridiculous and I'd like it to stop please. Will hopefully get things packed and shipped over the long weekend.

Just a quick update - I managed to get sick on the way back from TFNation and am still not doing super great, which is why people's preorders haven't shipped yet - even before the COVID pandemic I'd have been unwilling to ship people stuff while coughing all over it, apologies.

Current mood

Just got our @nonnef.com delivery in ahead of @tfnationltd.bsky.social, big spenders at TFN this weekend will get one of these lovely printed totes while stocks last! (We only have @toyhax.com stickers that come with Nonnef sets, before anyone asks)

It's done, finally. Every G1 Decepticon from the 80's cartoon. I'll order some prints of both this and the Autobots one as soon as I can. Hope you enjoy! #Transformers #G1 #Macaddam #TransformersFanArt #Decepticons #Natephoenix #Natphoenix2025

Got held up by inclement weather, but preorders have now closed! Watch this space or the site for more updates. Also, for what it's worth, I'm a complete sucker for light piping as you've seen with my custom heads. Fond memories of the late-G1 Euro stuff and G2.

Going to leave the preorders up until I'm back home in about an hour (link in bio), but in the meantime, which do you prefer? Light piping or painted eyes? Any great examples of one over the other?

Penultimate nudge on these! Pre-ordered end at noon this Sunday. bsky.app/profile/gwor...

Just a heads-up for anyone who hadn't seen these yet - Pre-orders close on Sunday 27th July so if you want TFN pickup and/or the introductory prices on these sets, don't miss out!

International buyers: gworks.bigcartel.com has a week long open preorder for most Nonnef products, including the new upcoming sets. They'll also have limited items at #TFNation next month.

Ahead of TFNation 2025, we've got a fresh pre-order drop, the new Nonnef products from TFCon, upgrades for TR Trypticon and Legacy Bludgeon! This has to be a short pre-order window, and will close on Sunday, 27th July, so that they can arrive in time for pickup at TFN. 1/2

Thinking about moving on my Haslab Deathsaurus! He's a great toy but I need to recoup some dough after the wedding lol. Anybody out there looking for the big chicken beastie? Two fifty or so? youtu.be/KEPVh4wZy7c

Are we ready for a surprise, very short preorder run? No? Well, it's about to happen 😅 Plus, expect an announcement about what's happening with G-Works at TFN this year...

Huge thanks to @caelyn.bsky.social for the opportunity to write this piece for @rascalnews.bsky.social. Check it out, and please consider supporting independent tabletop game coverage if you're able to.

Pages 1-4 of GAMER MOM: THE MOM WHO GAMES, the project written (and lettered) by yours truly with art by the brilliant @monoapilas.bsky.social - currently funding itself on Kickstarter for as little as $1! Check it out and see what you think. www.kickstarter.com/projects/abb...

Leo has become more profitable than our manufacturing business, so we're making a pivot.

I need help for a project, I'm looking for G2 box art for Superion, Bruticus, Menasor and Defensor in their combined forms They don't seem to be included in the Legacy art book. Can be digibashes, but needs to be original G1 artwork poses. RTs appreciated

Thanks to @gworks.bsky.social and their Noneff stock, I have been upgrading figures this evening. #Transformers

I've emailed everyone who's ordered G-Works Lockdown Upgrades/Windsweeper wings, but in the hopes of reaching more people - Please don't try and install these without warming the parts with a hairdryer or warm (not boiling) water first! 1/2

Just further to this, everything was picked up yesterday so I hope it's with you all soon!

Just a quick update - due to two days of issues with getting a Royal Mail collection to actually happen, orders have been packed, paid for and labelled, but are waiting to be collected... Apologies for the delay. I'm now being told that they're aiming to come tomorrow morning.

Some more uses of the @nonnef.bsky.social upgrades for Windblade/Slipstream. I went a little over the top on painting the red one 😅 #Maccadam

Now that customer orders have been packed I've allowed myself to play with my @nonnef.bsky.social upgrades(like trying to match the teal paint from the toy) and work on my own custom head for Slipstream again. If I separated the head for colour print, would people be interested?

Because health issues aren't bad enough, apparently life is going to kick me when I down and I won't be at @tfnationltd.bsky.social this summer either. Not going to lie, pretty bummed out getting rejected twice in a row after an awful time last summer. Maybe it's time to give up and move on.

So, uh, that escalated to a hospital trip first thing this morning. I'm okay but am having to take things easier than I would like for a little while. Outstanding orders will be packed and shipped ASAP, that's just going to be a little slower than intended.

Commission for the awesome @nonnef.bsky.social of their kitty Leo as a LEOKASIER BATTLE BEAST! 合体! ライオカイザー!! #transformers #battlebeasts #beastformers #gogoandyart

Just a heads up that while I've got Slipstream sets etc in and have started packing the remaining orders, chronic health issues are affecting my ability to do things like sit/stand up and pack stuff at the moment so these may not go out before the weekend at this rate, sorry

A few people seem to have misread this one - this was talking about orders for people who *hadn't* preordered Slipstream 😅 Slipstream orders are now processing though, so expect them to ship soon.

One thing about BlueSky I'm still getting used to is that when you post stuff matters soooooooo much more, vs the former bird site...

Following feedback about the Windsweeper wings, we made some retro-style instructions on how to install them correctly. Hope that makes it clearer, trying to attach them from the side or from the top down will likely break your parts.

Not as exciting as Haslab Liokaiser, but this is what's going on over at G-Works this weekend... Expect tracking # emails soon, if you don't have a Slipstream set pre-ordered!

Just a quick heads-up that all pre-orders are closing tomorrow morning, UK time - We would have closed them over the weekend but we were busy working on shipping existing orders and didn't have a chance to post about it!

After a false start over the weekend, we've got preorders for Nonnef Slipstream sets (and most other things) up now. Store address at the bottom of the pic. EU/Northern Irish customers - Due to GPSR we are unable to ship these to you, apologies. More details on the shipping info page.

Quick update on preorders - despite our Nonnef stuff being shipped in 2024, it was delayed without any explanation from the courier for over a week! The good news is that it's on the move, and we hope to send preorders out in the next few weeks once it arrives.

Pre-orders are now closed! We'll post a rough ETA once we have it, and customers will receive a notification of the tracking number once pre-orders are shipped.

Leaving these up for a few hours more - I'll probably close the store before turning in for the night.
