I'm really surprised you made it out of that toy shop! It's a wonder you didn't move in! Did Alan have to drag you out?

You know me too well :) No one had to drag me, but sure as eggs the only reason I left when I did was because I had the entire family with me and didn't want to wear out my welcome/bore them/keep the nephews out past the point they get tired and a little ratty (as do all young kids).

I am also impressed you made it out.

Oh, if only, Franzy - if only! I doubt they'd pay for the commute from home to work, though... or for the relocation of our townhouse to downtown Vancouver :)

I am in awe of those transformers. I love Megatron's expression.

The displays are amazing and I want to make the Earth-3 lot out of the new Batman Animated figures. (I can totally re-purpose Catwoman into a dozen different people-)
