That's what she said.

Parked, checked into the Marriott, and now I'm in line! Naturally rocking my Invader Zim messenger bag I've been taking to cons since I got it in the early 2000's.

Right. Final day(s) before the convention! WHO. IS. GOING?!!! I pick up my rental first thing in the morning, load up my bags and a bin or two of toys, then I make like a Bat Out of Hell!

See, the 'traditional' G2 colors retain the colors from the G1 toys, only changing dino-specific parts: Gold chest and red 'trunks' on Grimlock, and red chests on Snarl/Slug. So the silver chest of the proposed Swoop, along with the purple chest on Sludge puts them on the same 'team' as...

Well, since Blue+Green Swoop, and the Orange+Purple Sludge were conceived with Yellow Grimlock (And would theoretically have been released together) we only need outlandish schemes for Snarl and Slug. And more 'traditional' G2 schemes for Swoop and Sludge. (unchanged robot chest colors, with a...

I think we all know why they went with Red Snarl and Green Slug, the same reason we got Blue Grimlock and not the turquoise version: They are the Not-G1 versions more people had. I do hope there is a way to get the third version G2 colors for the people who want them. Maybe as 3-pack. A...

Am I the only one who thinks the horns might be removable?

A weekend convention nearby helped nab some signs. Yes, I have the original one. Thought the white toy on white pages was a little bland. Plus, got to give the Freeway variant some time in the sun. The camera really picks up the dust. Toy is still spectacular! No toy. Considered...

And it's still street legal?

I personally think it sucks the Mega-gun accessory doesn't have a bottom half of the handle with the stock. Think the Mega-gun that came with G1 reissues of the seekers. you know, 'cause accuracy is SOOOOOOOO important to this line.

To those whose Targets still had the 4-Pack and/or the Brawn/Ratchet set to go on clearence.... ....you have my envy.

"Quest for Survival": the 3 Insecticons and THRUST! 'cause I know peeps need Thrust more than TC/SW.

Finally taking a look at Omega Prime. First: torso is good. Just need to sand down the thing. Non-Cerebros Titan Masters can't fit in the seat at the rear. I don't know if it's a parts-alignment problem, or a problem- problem, but all 10 wheels in Magnus' carrier mode can't touch the...

Picked up a Transformers mystery ball from Zuru on a lark. Inside was tank mode Megatron, a little '3D' sticker (we called them 'Puffy Stickers' back then!), a little card... ....and some ....wet cat litter?! Or "Post-Coronation" Starscream? Man, between these mystery balls and the...

Registered! Even sprang for a Premium. I hope I can get the hotel to book me in for Thursday on a separate reservation (already Fri-Sun) so I can attend the Thursday night festivities. And maybe go for a Friday Custom class. EDIT: Called the hotel Friday night and got a Thursday room. EVEN...

I have always wondered, with the Sam's Club Energon Prowl and Starscream set... This one: Did the set include the trading card size Tech Specs figures Deluxe and above included? I would assume no, being a retail exclusive, but the K-Mart Prowl and Checkpoint came with one (both on one card)...

Mine showed up moments ago. I opened it up and looked without knowing what I was looking at/for, and think it's good. Gonna have to wait for my days off to get in for the preventive maintenance so i can pack it back up then yeet it into storage.

I think if the Rodimus toy wasn't ass, he wouldn't have gotten so much jive. Without the trailer, Optimus was still a pretty sweet truck with a satisfying series of changes, and even losing his fists weren't a deal breaker. Rodimus looses his camper, he's a jive nothing, with a nothing...

Revealed on BotCon's insta gram: the set of pins to collect for the 2025 convention! I'll admit, they're might tempting, but using bumblebee and his various recolors would have been more on the mark given the exclusives.

A local 'geek' store was having an anniversary sale, and I had to work. My mother went for herself (and the food trucks and raffle) and picked me up this.
