Transformers: Pretenders (OOC discussion board)

I dare say the contentious munilateral online protest has yielded strikingly positive results! smile

Yeah, I'd say we dodged a real bullet there, people! sweatdrop SOPA would have spelled the absolute death of Gaia, no doubt about it... stare

[Ema Nymton]

I'm so glad this SOPA thingie didn't get passed, because I'd hate to lose Gaia after all these years... ~_____~

Oh, but while I'm here, Happy Chinese New Year to all of our friends from China! ^_____^ I haven't had a chance to say so sooner...

[Phonetic Geoff]

It would appear that we are currently experiencing a (perhaps inevitable) lull in activity here, but I would nevertheless like to take a quick moment to announce that yet another collector's opportunity has presented itself online, this time courtesy of US eBay retailer, OEMpartsBin. 3nodding So, should you be in possession of an idle £11,000 and harbour a penchant for performance motorcycles, it might be in your interests to make further enquiries. whee

That having been said, it would be dreadfully remiss of me not to make known the fact that the Superfund truck (which I must confess to not having spotted on screen, personally) from Dark of the Moon is currently up for sale. 3nodding Of course, at £11,000, this would be a purchase for SERIOUS collectors only. whee

Wait... which part of the movie was it in? I do not remember...

Alas, I'm unable to clarify that detail for you, Qyp, as I personally have no idea... sweatdrop

[Qyp]

I used to be able to make the Transformer noise perfectly...

[Ema Nymton]

But not any more...? > w <;

Oh, wow ~ Gaia Online has just opened a new store for us to spend all our hard-earned Gold at! ^_____^ And who knows, maybe the prospect of personally designing new avvie items might be enough to lure Cudboy back, even.

[Phonetic Geoff]

One has something of an unexpectedly sundry nature to announce pertaining to our ongoing theme regarding the commercial trade of official Transformers memorabilia this evening, as the very automobile which directly inspired one of this enduring brand's most iconic characters is to be auctioned off in two days' time! eek Reportedly, £1,500,000 is the expected sale price.

Might we have any takers, perchance? whee

[Qyp]

No one is rich here...


Anyways, which Transformer? I can't remember G1 that well...

[Duke of Haphazard]

That would be Jazz, young fella! 3nodding And it would appear that lot #47 sold for a cool US$2,530,000...! burning_eyes

[Ema Nymton]

Hey, guys ~ did you know that if you post 3.1415926 in certain forums today, you get a nifty new avvie item...? > w <

[Phonetic Geoff]

Yes, the act of doing so granting one a Pizza Pi, in commemoration of the date. xp Personally, I believe compliance was more effort than it was worth, much like this year's St. Patrick's Day Golden Clover, for that matter... but such assertions are entirely subjective, of course. sweatdrop

Be that as it may, today marks the much-anticipated release of Fall of Cybertron's full trailer, in conjunction with an official gameplay overview from High Moon Studios™, both of which being rather impressive, I'd say! biggrin

[Ema Nymton]

Oh noes ~ first they bring out a new animé-inspired clothing store I can't even shop at, because I'm Australian, and now they DESTROY the luxury formalwear outlet, H&R Wesley! O_____o What's a warm-blooded shopaholic to do...?! X_____x;

[Duke of Haphazard]

Well, at least the joint burning down wasn't a total loss, right...?

[Phonetic Geoff]

While it appears that we are touching upon the subject of retail endeavours, it has come to my attention that a certain Saleen Mustang S281 Extreme is once again up for auction. At the time of writing, the vehicle has recieved bids amounting to £32,398.46, a sum which is reportedly below the retailer's unspecified reserve price. neutral With only half a day left until the close of vend, it will be interesting to see if this item sells...

Speaking of commercial interests, has anyone been surveilling the development of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, out of interest? smile
