My big troubles have been (several times now) with pins going through clear stuff. I've never had any trouble with clear plastic as a decorative part, but when metal goes through it for articulation, eventually the plastic often cracks around the pin. I don't know if it's modern QC not being...

I admit, I sold off my Classics/Universe Ironhide and Prowl years ago and never got another. My nephew did get the Sparkless Barricade and Quintession Guard. This combined with Dead Optimus has lead us to just use those in place and claim Prowl and Ironhide died and came back as zombies. It...

A big boom box was a status symbol. When you had one so big it required a combiner to lug, you were KING.

For the ratchets, DON'T try to oil them to help, a lot of petroleum based solvents can eat some kinds of plastics, and it's not remotely consistent. You never know till something crumbles. What I've done for thing that were too tight and might break is usually Rubiks Cube Lube, as that's made...

"Well, look at this Blanker..." "Stop trying to evade the swear filter." "I'm NOT..." -I really am not sure this name was well thought out at all. I'm assuming Peacemaker will be simplified since he's an accessory with a deluxe and not a full seperate Battle Master, recycled or otherwise...

On a weird note, if you put Wreckers Top Spin and POTP mini-Pretender Metalhawk side by side they look like they were made to be Targetmaster partners or something. The colors match up very well.

Well, my idea that maybe they didn't push up Wheelie's car-mode nose to be flush with the brick-like bit was wrong, looking at some of the new pics that there isn't a joint there at all. Which is really odd, since it certainly looks like that was the intent of the entire shape of the front end...

"Wait, this isn't a rubber ducky at all...it's...A METEOR IN DISGUISE! It's been plotting to get close to you and finish you off!!!"

I did notice that Twin Twist's waist come apart when rotated, I need to sand the mushroom peg a bit to make it fit, but not so much as to make it looser. I hadn't had this mold before so at first I thought it was just tolerances making the vehicle mode a bit lopsided, then I realized it wasn't...

I hope they do get Cosmos in stores simply because my chances of getting one online now seem to be slim and I don't care enough to pay ebay prices. Though in the process of looking I did get an unexpected bonus as I saw a Sparkless Seeker way after they were recent, and while only one of his...

re: Metroplex, this just went up on emgo316's channel. It's short and has no dialogue but I think I know his opinion.

I did try but it vanished from the cart during checkout and never came back.

I have an old Leonardo dressed as a construction worker that turns into a dump truck. It's not that great, but was interesting for even existing back in the first toys for the original series...

Edit: And inspired by this thread I did what I proposed and cleared out a lot tonight. Three trash bags full of plastic bubble stuff, a huge pile of broken down boxes. I had no idea it had gotten this bad, but if recycling it winds up removing MORE costs for transport/storage than it could...

I don't want to alarm anyone, but Megatron's chest wants the One Ring found, and it wants it found NOW...

Well, I was wrong, Pointblank/Blanker is NOT a Counterpunch remold, or if it is, it's been reworked enough to hide any trace I can see. Though this being the internet, I don't think I'm allowed to admit being wrong so instead I will say it's clearly a remold of Combiner Wars Silverbolt who at...

Cosmos is sold out both places. Or maybe he just got abducted...

I was wondering how it was done, the color was awesome. I wonder if maybe painting the whole thing white then overlaying it would do it, but it's such a complicated transformation I doubt I could do it without a lot of paint gaps for all the moving parts.

Ok, I finally saw it and I have to say, at least part of this is now my head-cannon for how Coronation Starscream and Super Megatron interact on my shelf...

I blame Super7.
