LOL, seriously dont worry about when you visit, our new server will give us 10 times the bandwidth we currently have.

Last thing I want is people to feel they visit too much!

If anyone is interested we're getting around 28,410 page requests a day on average and an average of 260 unique visitors per day, and thats excluding bots such as google et al. So we're seemingly pretty popular.......

Truly a case of "If you build it, they will come." Kevin Costner would be proud. Now if I can only figure out how to get that much traffic over at the HQ...

Yup as Danny says though forums are a much more "living" entity than a website, hence the insane amount of page views we get every day, a better comparison between site traffic is to go on unique, botless visitors, or just unique visitors if you can't filter out bot traffic.

We've pretty much outgrown our current server, which is slightly annoying as its paid for until next July, but its impossible to up the bandwidth allocation here so we're going to have to move.

Theres no timescale for this as of yet as I havent even began to shop for a new host, but I figured I'd keep you all in the loop just incase we exceed our allocation here in the mean time.

If all goes well there should only be an hour of two downtime during the move.

Also if anyone knows any good web hosts that offer MySQL access, PHP, and around 20gb of bandwidth a month please let me know.

I'll keep you all updated as I know more, and yes all posts, topics, EVERYTHING will be moved, none of this wiping malarky.

it'd be cool if they did, as for the license, god only knows. Its a minefield at the best of times.

I seem to be the only die-hard collector around here so I've always managed to get the chase...

I'm totally envious. My local comic shop used to be good for them, then it got new staff, staff who keep the chases for them selves and charge ?9 (about $16) for the regular 2 packs.

Chuck always referred to the X3 mates with "if", I guess they could aim for the DVD release now....

Are the Max Spider-Man and Wolverine statues shipping too? I didn't order them, but I would be curious to see some new pics of them.

I've seen Spidey solicited but not Wolvie yet.

Im gonna be amazed if the first two sell well enough for the second set...

Have any of the UK peeps seen these things out yet? FP still havent taken my cash for them.... damn my impatience.

Sweet and Sour sauce from McDonalds.

I thought I was the only one! I've been looking for a Russian packet from 1992 for years!

Believe it or not I was serioues....

I have some kinda weird addiction to that sauce, and have never been able to replicate it with any commonly available sauces. Every couple of days I go to McD's order a meal I dont really want just so I can ask for a couple of Sweet and Sour Sauce pots, I have the stuff on almost everything.

Minimates

Comics (breaking the habit though)

Buffy/Angel Palz

Corgis Vintage Dr Who Die Casts

Transformers (some of the time)

Sporadic Marvel Legends

The 2003 blanks were once reasonably common go knows where they are all hiding, the red and yellow are the easiest to find, followed by blue and green... getting any of them sealed is nigh impossible... Infact if anyone ever wants to open theirs... PLEASE DONT! I'll do a deal with you to get you open ones or something.. Despite coming out before hand the 3" blanks seem a lot easier to get.

$10 is a reasonable price for each of those, it all depends how much you want them, heck I paid $50 for my Mr T.

You never know....

DST seem to have a lot of mateable properties at present... SG1, Buffy, Angel, Trek, Joe and TF...

Its Ebay or trading really. They are pretty scarce. Stuckakid occaisonally gets a couple... Its those 2003 blanks that are the killer. Although most of them are pretty tricky. I'd love to have a Cappy style open set but it was a nightmare getting them in the first place.

/me heads out to liberate....

Im finding that little fella impossible to get hold of.

Gah!

Consider me envious.

Although I didnt see a WST Hot Rod... if you had one of those I'd be en-route to your place now to "liberate" it

You aren't the only one who never saw "The Batman" C3 sets 'cause they never made it to retail. And no, War Machine and metal Spider-Man (whether you're talking about Spider-Armor or the new Iron-Spidey) haven't been part of an official release yet.

Oh and "chase" is spelled with an "s"...

I know that The Batman C3s made it to retail in a few places. I've seen people actually get them at places like TRU and KB.

Oh, and you knock out 3 walls and put them back up, and see how well your spelling is after you've been doing construction in 105* weather! j/k

I think Fujis is confusing "The Batman" with "Batman Begins". The Batcopter and Batcycle were both branded "The Batman" if I remember correctly and were available. The Stealth Batwing may have been "The Batman" branded too.

I have a silver spider-man shaped hole, that and some packaging variants, plus a crazy desire for some loose blanks.

In a way I kinda envy people with lots to get... I miss the days of new mates arriving every week to add to my collection

I was just teasing Ady. This place is so close to the AA forums that I was shocked for a second.

I can add a trek section.......

Man, this thread is great! Every six months or so I wig out and think that I have too many toys. These pictures have certainly cured me of that!

Jee... Thanks... >_>

Also note that all those boxes are full except for the minimates and the one TF at the top next to the minimates. Would you like to see the rest of my room?

YES!

That way I can be even more jelous of your TF collection

Some nice work, If I had the space I'd have a TF collection

Its like this board now has a seal of approval

Holy Shit!!! i just saw this!!! sweet!!! what shipping info do i have to send you?

Hmm, I guess the language filters are different here as well...
