Advantages: Amazing value for money, great DVD and impressive looking Transformers figures !!!
Disadvantages: Hard to find at a reasonable price ... it's become a collectors item (which pushes up the price)

... Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set AWESOME The Transformers Animated: The Battle Begins DVD Boxed Set is brilliant ... not only does it contain the DVD 'The Battle Begins' but it also comes with two fantastic Transformers Animated Figures !!! 'The Battle Begins' is a DVD that introduces the new Transformers Animated series ... a sort of 'Pilot Episode' that sets the scene for the ultimate battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons and the quest for the elusive All Spark !!! It is a great DVD for Transformers fans of all ages and an ideal episode to introduce younger fans to the animated series.

Advantages: Stunning commentary on a dystopic future
Disadvantages: Too dark and controversial for some audiences

...note: also appears on my film review website, ShaunMunro.co.uk, and Dooyoo!

DONG = 1 GBP (as of June 2009) 17.500 VIETNAM DONG = 1 USD (as of June 2009) Vietnam?you may think of floating markets, boats, Vietnamese style pointy hats, beautiful scenery?.or you may think of crowded cities, lots of noise and lots of pollution?. Well, to be honest, I didn?t really know what to expect?but it turned out to be all of the above! We arrived in Hanoi (me and 3 friends) on June 9th 2009. We flew from Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia (KUL) directly to Hanoi with Air Asia. The flight cost us a total of around £133.15 each (to be specific). It is a little expensive considering that Air Asia do have special fares and promotions a lot of the time?but we had to book it there and then really. But if you can be flexible with dates and times of booking, visit www.airasia.com and check out their promotions. It might... Read review
