Neoscream's Life: 4th to 10th March 2013

MSK-008 Dijeh
Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. It also includes the AJ Lee news; the latest Cosplay Deviants sets and news; my "Watch, Listen and Read" lists; and a painting/converting section with 7TV teams, DreadBall Figures and Super Dungeon Explore.

On Monday I received a bounce of vouchers for Toys R Us. One of them was £5 off the Skylanders: Giants Start pack. I have been at two minds on getting Skylanders, ever since the first game. I really like the idea, but with the cost and collector personality, I have been avoiding it. I popped into Toys R Us to check prices for the Skylanders stuff and to see what Transformers and WWE stuff. There was no AJ Lee figure (just a ton of self warning John Cena figures) and no Transformers figure that really interested me, but I did pick up a Transformers Prime transforming Weapon booster pack for £2.50 and pull the pink/purple cobra. The Skylanders stuff would cost about £53 (before the voucher) for the Giants starter pack of, £9 each for standard single booster figures, £12 each for the LightCores figure boosters, £15 each for the Giants and  £25 for the triple pack boosters and the adventure pack boosters (two character figures and an adventure unlock figure. There was three characters I spotted that I would like: Chill, Sprocket and Stealth Elf (or the legendary version). Sadly I could only find Sprocket and Chill in separate Triple packs. If I went for all the characters I wanted, it would cost me about £107 with the voucher. Sorry no, far too much for a computer game. On Wednesday I checked on link and found I could get Sprocket and Chill for £7 each as well as a bounce of others from Amazon. Oddly Legendary Stealth Elf and the normal version were being sold at about £13 to £16, while Toys R Us had a shit load for just £9. Taking this to account, I would now be looking at just over £70 for the starter pack and the three characters I want (at the moment). I first decided to put it on hold for now due to cost of the extra DreadBall stuff and saving for stuff like Salute, Campaign and A+, but I still ordered Sprocket off Amazon as oddly I really like the figure. However my mum decided to pay for my DreadBall KickStarter second survey stuff as a birthday gift so, I decided to pick the game up with Legendary Stealth Elf. It is quite enjoyable, however you do need a figure of each of the eighth elements (Air, Life, Undead, Tech, Fire, Water, Magic and Earth) and one giant. But the giant can be one of the eight element figures. So I currently have four figures, two life, one undead and one air, with a five figure in the post of the tech element. I decided to pick up a fire and water element online on Sunday, which leaves an earth and a magic figure to go. I have currently completed chapter 8 and two stared only two chapters.

Sprocket had given me a fantastic idea for a new Heroic team for 7TV. A female engineer and her robotic creation saving the day. I worked out a 100 rating team and then looked online for suitable figures. For to female engineer who I am calling Sparkle at the moment, I went for the hacker Valerya Gromoz for Infinity and plan on add a large spanner or wrench on her back. With the robot, currently named Bot-X, I decided to go for a Heavy Gear Arena mech called the Wildcat. Sadly the Wildcat comes in a pack of two. I been thinking of a use for the extra one and came up with an idea with a bit of a background story for the team. The temporary name for the extra one is Jr. X, but he will not appear until the 200 rating upgrade of the team. I try writing the background ideas down for when I do the 100 rating team.


On DreadBall side of things I have signed up for next month's DreadBall tournament at Wargames Workshop MK, where I learned that there will be a once a month league starting on Monday evening the 25th of March. Sadly could not sign up on Facebook yet as Facebook was acting up on the day I learnt about it.

On official 7TV news, the PDF rules for The Beat Program Guide came out on Sunday. I will try to remember to talk about it in next week's post. Still waiting on the Argonauts Program Guide.

Last week I forgot to write about something big happened on WWE Raw on the 25th of February. The return of the king of kings, the Game, Triple H. He out for Brock Lesnar. Also on Raw on the 4th of March the Undertaker has return too and he will be facing the self centered ego of CM Punk.

Now for some AJ Lee news. AJ appeared on Raw this Monday the 4th of March. AJ was supporting Dolph Ziggler with Big E Langston like normal. Dolph had a match against Miz who had the Nature Boy Ric Flair at his side. The Miz won.


Sorry AJ, you look smocking hot wet
AJ also was supporting Dolph with the help of Big E in Dolph's match against Alberto Del Rio on Smackdown on Friday the 8th of Match who had Ricardo Rodriguez at his side. Ricardo throw a bunch of wash rags a Big E, I do not know if the ref it. Big E got pissed off, but AJ prevented he from attacking Ricardo. Ricardo went to throw a bucket of water at Big E, which the ref saw. Big E however dodged it and AJ ended up being covered in water. She went berserk and chased Ricardo around and though the ring. Big E grabbed her before see could get to Ricardo. The ref then sent both AJ and Big E out from ringside, but not Ricardo. Sorry Ricardo should have been sent off too, he was the one who coursed the chaos and the ref saw most of it. Anyway the match continued. It was a good one, but Del Rio still won. Straight after the match we cut to back stage where AJ was drying her hair. Daniel Bryan walked up to her. They chatted and traded insults. Daniel left AJ even more in a fail mood than what she was before their little chat. Where was Big E during all of this?


AJ was in a match on Saturday Morning Slam against Natalya over arguments over who should become Saturday Morning Slam's GM. Sadly AJ lost match, but no GM was declared, but I do know from spoilers who is the GM. Just remember Saturday Morning Slam is a kids show.

Future sight

Future plans are to add another Co-star called White Sentai and Golden Knight's Sky Guards. With the Sky Guard, I will give Golden Knight the Flight Special Ability. Lastly is the next groups of seven Super Dungeon Explore figures. This fourth group are three Kobolt Knuckleheads, two Kobolt Ironscales and two Kobolt Flingers.


Group Four
Groups 1 to 4 all together

Next week I am doing another double bill. There will be a group of DreadBall figures that are my conversations (which includes Alita) and the extra two Corporation players. And a new 100 rating team which is not the Bot-X team, but the star of the team does have a license to kill. Also from next week things are changing for my 7TV teams. Instead of going up in factors of 50, I will now be going up in factors of 100. So 100, 200, 300 and so on.












Vs.









Until next time, Armour Up.
