Hi everyone,
We've been today by the same company we helped last month who are producing a new Transformers product and they are conducting some follow-up market research and they need the help of another couple of groups of Transformers fans and we need YOUR HELP!!
They've contacted us again here at Auto Assembly and asked us to coordinate things initially to help them pull together a couple of focus groups of fans to discuss and get views on a top secret new licenced product they are looking at developing. Again, we can't say what it is here but more will be revealed to those who take part!
What they are looking for are about 16 fans aged 18-35 for two sessions. The first will take place on Monday 10th October in London, and the second will be on Thursday 13th October in Birmingham. Each will take place in the evening and the successful applicants will take part in 90 minute discussion sessions.
Basic travel expenses will be covered (within reason!), there will be food and drink on offer, and all volunteers for the sessions will be paid a fee of £35 for taking part! The venue is to be determined but it will be a research facility somewhere in each city. Please note that all particpants will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement regarding the product being discussed.
If you want to take part, you need to get in touch URGENTLY so the groups can be set up as quickly as possible and the researchers who will be conducting the two sessions can contact the successful applicants to discuss things further. If you are interested, email us with your name, age, address and phone number to enquiries@autoassembly.org.uk and put Transformers Research in the subject.
Please also state which location you are able to attend and whether you can attend either venue and if so, which is preferable. If you have already attended the first session, there is nothing preventing you from applying again, but there is no guarantee you will be accepted for these new sessions which do have a different focus to the first ones held.
Places are limited and names will be passed onto the company in the order they are received so the sooner you reply, the better your chances are of getting involved!!
Many thanks,
Simon

Tfauctions.com is very proud to announce we have managed to raise $734.00 for the hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans.
We would like to thank every single person who won the auctions that were up for grabs as well as those that didn't win but placed bids. It makes us very proud to be involved in the transformers world and also shows the transformers fans can pull together and help a great cause.
Our thanks also to Hasbro who kindly donated a box of transformers goodies to us and also for taking us seriously and letting us work together with them on this project, for that we are very thankful. Reprolabels also donated some faction stickers from their awesome sticker range; again our thanks go out to Delta and the team at Reprolabels.com.
As stated before all money from the listed auctions will go to the Red Cross to aid the victims of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. We also topped up the total by 50 GBP to make the total $734.00.
Tfauctions.com will also undergo a complete face lift in November as we have a very exciting new skin being designed as well as some new site features and additional sellers coming on board to help strengthen the site. The site will stay live but will change dramatically toward the end of November.
Once again thank you all for the change you have made.
David Ravenscroft.
Tfauctions.com Team Leader
