Simon AKA Simes dropped by our message board to thank everyoen for helping donate money to the charities during Auto Assembly.. Here"s what he had to say....
Just wanted to say a big thankyou to everyone who came along to AA2004 and supported us in the charity auction and raffle (and especially to Specimen 17 for a very generous top-up donation).
In total, we managed to raise £1,000 for our two charities (Cancer Research and NSPCC)!
I"ll be putting more details, and a general report, raffle winners and other details on the AA website in the next few days once I"ve had a chance to recover!
So well done everyone

Transfandom have news on a Worlds Smallest VSXC set. If you do not know the VSX set was a Japanese Vs set containing Optimus Prime and Megatron.
EDIT: Thanks to Ras for the correction.
The VSX set was the rarest, followed by VSY and finally VSZ. The VSZ contained Sunstreaker, Skids and Buzzsaw and the VSY Grimlock & Soundwave. You can see all three of these sets on
Ras" Rarebots website - along with alot of other cool rare stuff ... as the name would indicate.

Our webhosts (Catalyst2) seem to be having trouble. Our database connection thinks there are too many connections. This is not the case as when this started there were only 18 concurrent connections and there have been over 150 earlier in the week. We"ve contacted them for answers.

Phill posted this insightful tibit onto our message board
here over night.
I managed to catch up with my "Informant" tonight (He hates being called My Contact).
He told me that the reason that Jazz, Starscream and Apex Armor Prime (Also the Destructicons) are clogging up the shelves is due to the minumum order.
Apparently the minimum order Hasbro UK/TRU UK could put in for them was the same as the US"s minimum order!!
Again to read more on this story please go
