AARGH! MY OPTICS!

[DISCUSSION] Virtual Dave, Orion Ghia and special guest host Virtual Amy all went to TFNation 2022 and they can't wait to tell you all about it in excruciating detail! TFNation is the UK's premier Transformers convention and it's been way for 2 years! Which explains our host's excitement over getting down to Birmingham and 'nerding out' with their 'people'. Hear about the panels, the dealers room, the guests, the getting lost in carparks and listen as Orion's misanthropy slowly melts.

A huge thank you to everyone we met over the weekend, especially those who recorded 'stings' for us, we don't have all you names but you are loved... deeply.

[DISCUSSION] Sooner than expected(?) it's part three in the AARGH! MY OPTICS! series of discussions on Toy Collecting. This one is on displaying our toys. What good is collecting toys if you can’t show them off? Many toy collectors put as much time, money and effort into displaying their toys as they do collecting them. Orion and Dave certainly do, and now they've put the best part of two hours into chatting about it. The least you could do is listen right?

[DISCUSSION] WE'RE BACK! After eleven months off and some deliberation over a topic Virtual Dave and Orion Ghia return to the podwaves to discuss a firm favourite of theirs.. Transformers Robots in Disguise! No not that one! Or that one! No the first one the one from 2001 the one that Hasbro essentially disowned for 20 years.. YES that one! YES we heard about the Haslab! YES Orion has a controversial opinion on it! Join us as we delve into the 'wacky' TV show and the random delight of a toy line that really had no right be as good as it was.

[DISCUSSION] Welcome to a very special edition of AARGH! MY OPTICS! What’s so ‘very special’ about it? we hear you ask, well it’s special because we have a guest host! Yes, for the first (and hopefully not the last) time we’ve invited a friend of the podcast on to chew the fat with Virtual Dave and Orion Ghia. His name is (not) Michael Quintesson and he has a very special connection to Headmasters... which is fortunate given the topic of our discussion is just that! Join the THREE of them as they discuss that most peculiar Transformers gimmicks where a tiny bloke becomes a bigger bloke’s head! They discuss the cartoon, the other cartoon, the comics... the comics some more, the toys past and present... and finally Michael's claim to Headmasters fame! HEAD ON!

[DISCUSSION] Part 4!? But wait, I though we'd finished talking about Toy Collecting? Nope! NEVER! In this episode Virtual Dave and Orion Ghia continue our series of episodes on Toy Collecting by delving deeper into discussing collecting goals, targets, limits, styles and what the ‘end game’ is, if there even is one, for toy collectors both in general and personally. This jolly little podcast covers such topics as thinking of ending it all and death, as well as our vey first 'Collectors Corner' discussion were we update you the listener on what we've been spaffing our money on recently. Enjoy!
