I did see an awful lot of comments immediately about how awful the Thirteen are as a concept, how they have no interest in them, didn't want toys of them, etc. Admittedly, not necessarily quite as negative as the fandom is known for, but certainly a good amount of it. It's been entertaining...

I'm very old. Back in my day, media was made to advertise toys, not the other way around.

I like Crosshairs himself OK. Certainly wouldn't mind a redo with a dedicated mold that's closer to his G1 form, but I'd ultimately rather see that slot used for the many other characters that still need an update. Now if they want to pull a Spinister and rerelease him with a matching...

It's always been like that. I've lost track of how many figures I've had for years, or decades even, that I've been told will inevitably destroy themselves in no time. Random mass production flaws get magnified into critical design errors, while legitimate systemic issues get magnified into...

Geez, they're that much? 😮 Definitely glad I picked one up. Good to know I have a mortgage payment sitting there if need be. 😅

Finally cleared off a shelf for all these guys that have been clogging up my desk the last couple weeks since Slugfest and Overkill arrived.

Really want a new Predacon trio and Commander Gigatron to complete this set.

Great. I'm probably going to end up getting two to have a full set of the wyverns. 😓

I don't really care so much about whether a new toy is accurate to the original toy, accurate to the cartoon/comic, or is just a new take on things. I just want it to look good, both on its own and with its team or group if applicable. As an example, my PotP Swoop is the Red Swoop with the limbs...

For the Dr. Wu stuff, it's just Dile and Zaur that are still missing. They released Noise and Graphy a while back as "Impact Wave". I think those two have probably been the weakest of their releases as individuals, Noise especially, but I still love them and their combined mode is good. I really...

I can never get enough of these guys. I'm more focused on the modern figures than G1 these days, but I'll take more of the cassettes however we can get them. So Missing Link? Sure!

He just needs to recruit from Spaceball I.

Takara's G2 Megatron was the purple Hero mold, not the big green one Hasbro released. That Megatron already had pretty good articulation that still mostly holds up today, so I can't see there being much demand for it. That aside, I'd like a ML G2 Megatron too. Certainly wouldn't be difficult to...

I actually don't think Megatron would be all that horrible to do. The hips are the only thing that would need some serious work, and that's more related to the way they swing forward than the part about adding forward/backward hip rotation. He already has shoulder joints and really just needs...

He looks good, but I'm happy with the Legacy version. Yeah, I do wish the face looked a little better. However, as much as Lio Convoy always had a more distinctively anime look to him, I still like having him fit with the more realistically designed beast modes of all the other new BW toys...

I haven't paid much attention to Agabyss at all up till now, but I just learned they're offering the Blokees Devastator kit for pre-order, at $4.95 plus shipping. Only issue is it's a preorder with no date for when it will be available. I'm still waiting on my Show.Z order from May to ship, so I...

Yeah, the US box and most of the US marketing materials just call him Laser Optimus Prime. It was always odd that the flagship toy for the gimmick dropped part of the gimmick's name, but not on all materials and not in all markets. But despite his still being called Laser Rod Optimus Prime in...

Any conversations about Laser Rod Optimus Prime always remind me how amusing I find it whenever people insist that he is absolutely not called Laser Rod Optimus Prime. 😆

Honestly, I don't at all like how bots like G2 Op and Armada Megs look with the moving shoulder pylons. They make me not want to use what articulation they have because they look so much better with their arms straight down. The new molds might have some limitations on their artculation, but...

This is exactly where I'm at, too. I used to keep everything back in the UT days. It worked out well enough storing stuff in the boxes, with the cards underneath. As that became unworkable, I started saving just the box backs and storing everything more compactly in crates. Now, that's still...
