Does anyone know if the figures for the new MASK line are close to the same scale as the originals? I was thinking I could put the spare mask on my original maskless carless Matt and make a copilot.

I wonder if that's actually for a reason? It's not common, but it wouldn't be the first time Swerve/Gears/Optimus were retooled from each other.

Probably for the best if there aren't...I have the feeling that if the CyberNet Space Cube showed up, everyone would think it was the Borg and panic or something... Thing is, back in the Vector Prime days, that's probably canon in SOME continuity...

"Star Truck, the Next Generation" -or is that Generation 2? Are there Space Cubes involved?

Maybe a warehouse delayed shipping? I remember years ago when an odd mix of last line Alternators and several earlier ones showed up at Wal-Mart's all at once and got dumped on end caps because their spots hadn't existed for a year+. I got a Sunstreaker that way...

I was just shocked at the number of Gears. I thought the retro-line would sell out, but they seem to be everywhere.

And that case was a Gear Box...

So here's my plan, we get the kids to show up for the movies by replacing all the voice actors with popular stars and...oh...wait...

"Somehow, Gene Wilder returned..." "Wrong meme!" "-WITHOUT a proper receipt!" "...wait, where are we going with this...?" -The opening text crawl for Young Young Frankenstein

*squints hard at Sky-byte* "...she's RIGHT!" -You never realize just how bad the resolution on your old CRT TV really was...

But the real piles of oil-leaking dry rotted plastic-ruining rubber were the ones we made along the way. I do hope for a secret box set that pulls a Pretender Beast sort of effect with a remolded beast mode inside a simple shell, but that's highly unlikely.

I would love a mini-Monstructor. Except for Dinoking I was able to use a Safari LTD armored T-rex for an 'alternate' mount for Goryu, I have no idea how I'd add to the Monsters. I guess I'll wait to see what they come up with and go from there. I'm mainly enthusiastic about it as Dinoking...

Just don't do what I did once, MonsterArts teased Hedorah, and I noted that it would make sense to have a multipack of the evolution sequence. Turns out, that's exactly what they did, and having fired off my one 'accurately predict a highly unlikely product' moment, I've never guessed another...

I doubt there will be a shortage, this is Megatron, Hasbro would have to be pretty dumb to shortpack it and they will probably refresh it if they have any sense. So in other words, it's sold out forever. Sorry, everyone. Better check ebay... On the train side, I do hope they will get...

"wHy MY sHouLdERs HuRT?" "Because you broke them both in three places during the Second Impact. Seriously, you need to get that checked." The mix of the facial expression and the hunch makes this NOT work on multiple levels. He looks like he's either in the dumps or horribly sore. I will see...
