Ok. Time for this to get interesting!
QUEEN WORLD CUP
#QueenWorldCup

We are finally, thank Freddie, into ROUND 2.

ONLY SONGS YOU KNOW FROM NOW ON.

Here's your wallchart for how the songs are lined up. Heavy clashes and some early-ish casualties to come.

Please speculate.

First game of R2 will be announced and kick off at 1pm.

Two titles which feel like an uncanny sequitur.

YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND
IT’S A HARD LIFE

John Deacon’s bouncy hit you’ve nearly sent your mate, you soppy thing.

Or bit of a Freddie Mercury deep cut.

Huh?

Vote #best or #hard by 10pm.

Lunchtime kick off!

BREAKTHRU (the one with the train in the video)
vs
THE MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN (idiosyncratic first go at Bohemian Rhapsody off Queen II)

Early score is already 7-0 to Breakthru.

Vote #Break or #March, depending on which you like better!

Last night Stone Cold Crazy went through to Round 2 to face Another One Bites The Dust.

But today, will it be:
SPREAD YOUR WINGS

Or WE WILL ROCK YOU

Winner will face A Kind Of Magic.

Really, this is a referendum on We Will Rock You.

Vote #Naff or #NotNaff

If it helps sway your vote for I’m In #Love With My Car, instead of A #Kind Of Magic, then have the Spinal Tap-level story of its release.

its pretty funny that everyone is speculating ML Hubcap might happen based on his appearance the comic strip in the latest Generations book.

Well, designs for the toy are straight up in the back of the same magazine.

Somehow I missed this the first time around...

Well as expected ML Magnus looks absolutely amazing!

Been meaning to share these for a few weeks but thanks to Nemisispringer on TFW2005, the UKTD thread's unofficial mascot - "Shitbot" - has been made real! Amazing work on his part, and thanks for sending me one.

Shoutout to @danghile.bsky.social & Ironichide for creating the character!

Many thanks to @spider-father.bsky.social for this awesome gift at TFN. Im honestly so grateful, as is my cat!

My word this toy is fantastic. Crazy that its been somewhat semi present since I was a kid, but never actually had a proper one in hand.

Diaclone Gats Blocker/Converters Alphatron.

Spectacular.
