UBI Goodies :)

So about a month or so ago Ubi-Reflections gained 2000 likes on their Facebook page and it was between myself and another chap on twitter as to who got the 2000th like. So what Ubi asked us to have a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors which the other chap won (I will put his twitter name at the bottom of this post).

But Ubi-Reflections were feeling generous and decided to send us both some goodies :). So after almost a month (At a rant at Royal Mail) I finally received my goodies after they had to send me another set of goodies so without further ado here is what I got!

Got home from a job interview today and found this lying open on the table (Missus was being nosy lol)

The box my goodies game in! (Quite Large)

This is what was inside:

Rolling out The new Additions!!!

So with Transformers Prime Season 2 currently on vacation on Cybertron I thought now would be a good time to show off my Transformers Prime toys that have now moved in to the collection shelf (More blog posts to come) so lets get the ball rolling :).

TF Prime toys Group Photo

The first toy I purchased from the current line of toys was the voyager class Megatron:

Megatron (Voyager Class) Alt Mode (Jet)

  This one in my honest opinion is a pain in the butt to get into alt mode he speeds 99.9% in robot mode on the shelf, but in this case I had to put him into alt mode for this post.

To be honest I prefer his robot mode looks badass and looks awesomely close to his G1 state :)

Megatron (Voyager Class) Robot Mode

As you can see very badass xD.

Next on my list was a Commander Class toy I bought on the same day as Megatron and that is/was his second in command Starscream.

Starscream (Commander Class) Alt Mode

As you can see he has taken on the form of a fighter jet.

Starscream (Commander Class) Robot Mode

The alt mode on this Screamer is not his best his feet are very odd and it is difficult to stand him up at times but it is still an nice toy :).

The next toy I bought takes my Bumblebee tally to 7 (Yes I'm a Bumblebee fan :P) and was the first TF Prime deluxe toy i bought.

Bumblebee (Deluxe Class) Alt Mode

 Again it looks like Bee went for the Camero style sports car it looks really sleek  and is quite a solid toy.

Bumblebee (Deluxe Class) Robot Mode

 Not a fan of Bee's robot mode the shoulders don't look right and the head section does not sit right either! Other than that it is still a proud part of my collection.

The next toy from my Prime collection is the one hit wonder that is The Rock (oh sorry) Cliffjumper.

Cliffjumper (Deluxe Class) Alt Mode

I love this toy alot actually I originally thought i was gonna hate this toy but upon buying and mucking about with it a bit I really do like it.

Cliffjumper (Deluxe Class) Robot Mode

Again I love the alt mode on this toy looks badass as all hell but would love to see the "Zombie" Cliffjumper over here.

The next toy is the Autobot "Loner" Wheeljack.

Wheeljack (Deluxe Class) Alt Mode Swords under the car

 

Now this is my fave alt mode out of the prime toys st the moment, looks really sleek and stylish and very him!!

Wheeljack (Deluxe Class) Robot Mode

Another badass robot mode here looks fantastic and is well built!

And last but by no means least is Megatrons communications specialist Soundwave.

Soundwave (Deluxe Class) Alt Mode

 Not a fan of this alt mode looks to minimal to the others but it is a very nice and sleek toy :)

Soundwave (Deluxe Class) Robot Mode (With Lazerbeak)

 I really like this robot mode looks really nice and is well proportioned and stands very well given his thin and spindly legs!!

Well thats all the TF Prime toys I have at the moment!! With more to come I'm sure more will come :).

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading :)

PURE HMV Haul's

As the blog title suggests this is about the haul of goods I have gotten from the Purehmv, a scheme run by the British retailer HMV.

The scheme works like most loyalty schemes basically you earn points on things you buy instore and online, and over the last 2 years-ish I have raised tens of thousands of points. I recently received from them saying I had points that will expire so I thought I would use them.

So all in I have claimed two hauls from the scheme one from about 6 months ago and one that just came in today that I arranged earlier in the week, this blog is just a look at the hauls in question.

Postcards

These are two sets of postcards I received in the most recent haul I ordered. The six glossy postcards are image stills from movies in world cinema, and the four in the middle are "Advertizing" The Black Swan in the 1920's 1930's style.

Iphone 3GS Covers

These cover I got in my first haul six months ago when I had my Iphone it then broke a few days later they are now redundant :(. One is from Avatar (DUH) and the other is E-Hondas face paint from Street Fighter.

High Quality 10x8 Images of singers/bands

These are really nice high quality images which my camera does no justice, the two on the top are Alphabeat (Top Left) and Athlete (Top Right) I have heard a few of their tacks and they are pretty good. The two at the bottom are of the same group (I assume) called Delphic. I have never heard of them personally but woul love to hear some of their stuff.

Limited (numbered) Edition A3 posters

These four Limited Edition posters are awesome the two at the top are Lady GAGA (110/1000) and John Hurt (514/1000) are from my recent haul, and the two at the bottom are Daniel Craig (169/500) and Hideo Kojima (369/1000).

All four images have inspirational sentences one them which are all awesome and below:

Hideo Kojima poster qoute:

"Surrendered to self preservation from others who care for themselves, a blindness that touches perfection but hurts like nothing else. Isolation, Isolation, Isolation" Joy Division "Isolation"

Daniel Craig poster quote:

"Miss Jean Louise. Stand up. Your father's passin'" To Kill A Mockingbird (1962)

John Hurt poster quote:

"The truth is rarely pure and never simple" Algernon Moncrieff to Lady Bracknell in 'The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Lady GAGA poster qoute:

"Art is what you can get away with" Andy Warhol (1928-1987)  

Well thats that lol but for those that don't want to read all this below is a Vlog with said items in :) enjoy:

Thanks for reading/watching and see you all again soon :) Peace
