You can think what you like. No one ever said you couldn't. I merely took exception to the people abusing someone for spending their money. If it's their money and it's not doing someone else any harm what business is it of anyone else what they spend it on? As I said it's more than I would spend personally but just because they have spent it doesn't mean that I think they are "idiots", " have more money than sense" or "don't deserve it". All of which are judgements unfair judgements on the person. None of us know their situation nor what they have put in to earn that money. I'll apologize for the wording of my opening post if it has offended you or anyone else. It was merely a figure of speech and not intended as an insult or judgement. Personally, I would hardly consider the comment to be 'abusing' someone, but maybe that's just me and my piss taking character. I've had the same directed at me and didn't get upset/take offense. (And I haven't got much money, therefore even less sense! ) Wait a minute,.... you were the bidder that got beat weren't you? ;D

In the end it went for less than I thought, I'm still sure at least two others will be on ebay in the next two months though. Ah yes the top tier spending it is remarkable ........... oh wait *remembers Botcon 07* DOH! Bloody typical..... You wait 20 years for a Unreleased super rare G2 Motormaster prototype and then three come along at once!!!! ;D It hasn't been 20 years. Its more like 15 years.

@ Bender, That is the sort of arrogant pedantry up with which I will not put.

What's 5 years between friends?! Anyhow, the Protectobots and Aerialbots were released in 1994. Assuming that the Stunticons were to be released at the same time or just after, then it would be 14 or 13 years!

I'm quite glad he said that though. As it enabled one of my favourite words to be used three posts in succession! I think my affection to it is due to watching far too much Bottom in my youth. Bender scores 10/10 for pedantry! Round of applause please gentlemen! @ Bender, That is the sort of arrogant pedantry up with which I will not put. Luckily the decision doesn't rest with botty... ;D Nice bit of pedantry there Bender The classic TV show, staring the legends that are Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall of course, rather than actual backsides!! ;D Actually it's pedantic, rather than pedantry,.......if ya want to be,...umm,... pedantic! I also like the word, floccinaucinihilipilification. But ya don't get the chance to use that one too often! ;D

I wasn't correcting any of you, I was refering to my fav word/word used in bottom, which is pedantic, not pedantry. OK... I'm getting sick of the word now! ;D
