What else would two grown men do in Toys R Us?

A quick recap: my local cinema is near the big Toys R Us in our city. So, whenever I go to the cinema with my good friend Ryan we tend to end up in the there either pushing small children off the Guitar Hero demo pod or looking at the large collection of toys. Now, if I had the time and the money I would be a serious toy collector so I like doing this. I especially have my eye on the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime.

But anyway, me and Ryan are in there and we see this selection of mini transformers. We're looking through and notice that there is a mini-Devastator in the sale section.

"Hey," I say. "Look at that. A mini-Devastor." I have this gift for stating the amazingly obvious.

"Cool," says Ryan. He picks it up and looks at the back. "Look at that; all six make the big version."

"I wonder if they have all six here," I say.

"No way," says the pesimistic Ryan. "All six? In the sale section? No way." There was probably way more swearing in there but children may be reading this so I'll keep it clean.

We look anyway. We find one, two, three, four, five of the required transformers. Then we find the last one.

"I don't believe it," I say. "We found all of them! How much are they?"

"£2 each," says Ryan. "£12 for a big robot." He thinks for a moment. "You know," he says, "it would be wrong, in fact, it would be a crime for me not to purchase these."

"I totally agree," I say mainly as Ryan was paying.

So we, or rather, Ryan buys them. Naturally this was about 2 months ago and I had pretty much forgotten about them until not ten minutes ago when I received the following text message:



Nice. Very, very nice.
