Not a lot at the car boot this morning due to the weather but that doesn't mean I left empty handed. This small haul cost me just £2.

Found this Spitting Image book in a charity shop today and it features a parody of the 80s Transformers comics called Merchandisors. The Art is credited to Lee Sullivan.

The front cover to the Spitting Image Giant Komic Book. A pink background with an explosion in the middle with cartoons of various famous people from the late 80s flying out of it.

A page from the book featuring a Transformers comic parody called "Merchandisors - The Battle for Pocket Money". Several robots are running towards the foreground with a boy at the bottom. Two speech balloons contain the text "Oh my god! There are thousands of them! ...and I only get £2.50 a week!"

Me on Christmas day when the cheese and crackers are brought out:

An old poster for process cheese featuring Bagheera from Disney's Jungle Book movie holding a knife in one paw and a cracker with cheese in the other. Cheese and a glass of milk sit on the surface in front of him. The main caption reads "By George! Cheese and crackers - that's living!"

Some records from the "bargain bins" of the record fair this morning. I must watch the 80s version of Metropolis someday. Maybe Buddy's Song too but I'm sure we watched some of it during English at school.

Not a lot at the car boot this morning but I did find a vintage Rat King figure for three quid. Maybe there will be more tomorrow.

There’s a type of TV viewer who thinks of any episode that doesn’t forward a main plot as “filler” and do you want to enjoy some entertainment or do you just want to cross it off your checklist? Would you get the same experience from just reading a Wikipedia summary of the season?

Sonic & Knuckles featured lock-on technology! If you put Sonic 2 in to Sonic & Knuckles you can play Sonic 2 AS Knuckles!
If you put Sonic 3 in to Sonic & Knuckles you get an epic blockbuster-length saga.

So I’ve sifted through that whole “Dobby Grave Powerline” story going around and this is what I’ve pieced together: 1. The area was already a conservation site they could put the line anyway. 2. An internal joke about Potter fans got reported as true. 3. Potter fans are defacing protected land.

Big thanks to @spider-father.bsky.social for this dapper little dinobot. I do love a weird little beast era bot. The £4.99 sticker takes me right back to the shop in town that sold BW/BM figures for a similar price back in the early 2000s. I miss that shop.

Outback and Powerglide are both fun figures. I had a couple of issues with Powerglide's transformation at first but once you figure out how to do it without pulling bits off he's pretty neat. Outback is a repaint/remold of Brawn, which was already a strong figure and so that carries over here.

Here is my little TFNation 2026 haul. I didn't really have much of a list going in so it was very much just wandering around the dealer hall and picking up whatever took my fancy (also Powerglide and Rodimus were bought on the drive to TFN but they still count in my book).

My TFNation haul, featuring:

2 Battle Beasts
Blokees Defender Rodimus (bot) and Ratchet (alt mode)
McDonald's transforming quarter pounder box toy from the 80s
