It was the 90's. I defy you find art that didn't suck... that isn't porn.

Not a word said against that '90s smut-art, though!

Well, this is weird. A friend told me a few days ago that Prowl was at Target too. I got another coupon today. Prowl was still there. So now to hide THIS in the closet for my nephew's birthday too! I know the traditional celebration for such events is 'ebay', especially for Starscream, but I doubt I will get this lucky again. Two new-release Target exclusives for 25% off plus an extra 10% Circle each. For toys a kid wants to play with in a style I know he likes? That's NOT bad nowadays!

Ugh. You know how Haslab Prime had cracking issues for the chest and pelvis? I fixed both before they were an issue but I saw my Studio 86 Prime has started to crack around the pivot pin for the butt wedge. And 86 Megatron also had issues with one of his side holes for tank tread connection at the front due to the hole being too small. I fixed both with a hairdryer and Gorilla Glue gel to fill the cracks before sanding, plastic lube, and reassembly for both, but I can say I hate modern Quality Control, and also that Optimus's crack habit is way out of hand and he shouldn't be sharing it with Megatron.

These are the two newest Transformers I bought for myself. I expected this sort of thing so I watched to catch it early. I can fix these. A kid or even a competent adult who hasn't spent literal years on message boards while messing with plastics, adhesives, and lubes with some specialized tools, not so much. This isn't a recipe for success or consumer confidence.

I found one of those Studio Series 'More Than Meets The Eye' Starscreams!

Okay, this just happened to me. I was on Target ordering something else, checked on a whim, and they had 1 in stock available for shipping. At checkout, I was asked if I wanted to apply some $10 Circle bonus I had, and I did. I was skeptical, but it just arrived yesterday, much to my chagrin. He's not a bad figure, but I think I still like Earthrise and SS86 Part 1 a bit better.

You see, I was thinking that his head was kind of shaped like a cube, so I was thinking it was Cubbie like that.

English makes perfect sense when you realize it freely 'borrows' anything that could be conceivably useful, regardless of rather it fits with anything else including itself. While this makes for excellent flexibility, it's the linguistic equivalent of "Nice vocabulary you have there...shame if something happened to it."
