Blokees is not my thing, and that's fine. I'm glad to see it catching on and continuing. The Galaxy Defender minis even push a few of the same buttons for me that Kre-O does, but aside from that general "tiny cute cool" charm I'm not really tempted to go all in. (The legit blindness of the...

I was burning out with Mattel too, and even specialty stores started having trouble bringing stuff in toward the end. I just lost interest in it. I like the look of a lot of the McFarlanr stuff, except some of the faces. And as I mentioned it's practically an instant collection because they've...

I've never minded non-transforming Transformers, even when they WERE the Transformers line. And certainly not now that they're all ancillary merchandise. The brand is slapped on a million things that don't convert. They're not going to kill the main line -- if any tangible signs of danger...

That's pretty neat.

I've mostly let the McFarlane era pass me right by, despite liking some of the designs and being very impressed at the breadth of Batmen the line's coverage. This is largely (heh) due to how the 7" scale feels so unwieldy to me (this may be magnified by the packaging, but I've seen these on...

Virtually every fan growing up with Transformers in the 80s was drawn to its unique aesthetic, which brought an alien world of shape-shifting cars and jets and other things to undeniable, imagination-stoking life. One of the most striking visual anchors for Generation 1 was the classic...

The Omega Prime thread is like the third search result for "Omega prime". The first two are your post above and Sabrblade's.

I've heard of seductive thighs, but this is a whole 'nother thing.

You don't know that. You've never seen them in the same room together.

In so many cases they don't even get that deep into it. Anything on the surface that isn't echoing the expected status quo is right out. I joke with a friend I grew up with about how his mom told his dad that my friend was going to go over to my place to play video games. As soon as the dad...

I really, REALLY want a Gamer Edition (or I guess just Studio Series, if that's the only line label now) Voyager of the FOC Op mold. But only if it gets a Magnus retool released. I prefer the WFC Op to the FOC design, but I think Magnus wears this look better, and the Deluxe was always...

It's the perfect time for Oval and Spiral to come back!

I would absolutely not be expecting a football helmet TF based on a photomosaic.

With me the "peace and quiet" was more along the lines of "the little nerd's not constantly telling us he's done with this book, can we get some more."

I think 3 makes the most sense from a parent POV, although depending on the nature of the toy (and prior experience) 1 is also likely. But I've definitely heard a sibling be told "you'll be bored of it before we even get home" before, haha. (And in my case it was definitely books, which I'd try...
