Man, I wished I knew about Joefest more than a day-or-so before the weekend, I would've have extended my vacation and hit that after BotCon. I absolutely need Quick Kick, Zartan, and Dr. Mindbender in my Field Manuals. Also, the Joefest webpage is absolute jive.

It's hard to see, but it has the Cookie Crisp mascot peaking out the window.

BotCon pickups allowed me to re-do previous pics for my gallery. David Kaye's autograph from 2022. Same deal with Omega Supreme: "Close enough".

Nope.

Hauls from BotCon up to Saturday night: Along with a few things I want to spotlight: Japanese Beast Wars PVCs, they REALLY needed cleaning. They spent Friday night/Saturday morning submerged in the sink. And I STILL needed to give them a good scrubbing to be rid of the deep dust that came...

Rolled into my driveway 3+ hours ago, and have been unpacking and (more importantly?) taking pictures of my Sunday Acquisitions.

And so it Begins.

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.
