Regardless of where the money comes from, it's still not infinite. And when finite resources run up against the ugly thought of 'But is it WORTH it to me...?' things go downhill fast. I just had a good windfall from Ebay, even after the fees and shipping. And it's gone into the car. That car...

...I have no clue then. I thought Transformers at least sort of made sense by 'line', but if figures in the SAME line are having this, from the same company in the same store, the already shaky rationale falls out the window.

Re: those Amazon prices, I saw a few Wal-Mart's doing those NOW, though it wasn't consistent, even in the same store (where I saw 24.99, 27.99, and 29.99 all at once in AOTP, Studio, and Retro Brawn all in the same rack). And it's what knocked me out of a lot of future plans and into 'pay off my...

To me it's more like you already checked out, you paid for the item, and then suddenly find that you have to pay EXTRA to get it out of the store, after you've already completed the purchase. Worse in that if you don't pay the unexpected fee, you won't get a refund on the item, and you loose...

The real Binders of Revelation were the ones we made along the way. And then degenerated into squabbling over which one was the 'authentic' version, which is of course nonsense, as anyone knows that if they deny that the Marvel Comic and the Sunbow Cartoon were in the same continuity, they...

In my own head canon reading this is what caused my version of Kup to start chugging unfiltered tap water.

Sounds like the editors weren't keeping Trax? The trouble with Target is while they may stock the shelf eventually I have had limited success having preorders actually filled by them.

"How powerful is your transmitter?" "WATT?!" "I said, how powerful is your transmitter?" "WATT?!" "How-...ok, how many times is this joke going to go on?" "About 50,000." -And speaking of jokes...the price. Not unexpected, or even outlandish for a crossover, but beyond me right now, I just...

"Leaving out the middleman AND the middle of the fusion cannon reduces cost!" -claims the $4000 collectible. Also, the kit is missing his iconic leg wheel things he never had.

I know, I was agreeing with him. It's part of what's turned my want list into a wish list. I don't have the means to compensate with everything else that HAS to be done, so a lot of optionals got optioned out.

That was actually the point of the argument today, a lot of people still seem to be thinking that foreign governments pay them. They don't. Americans do, and so they're just another tax.

The tariff question got to the Supreme Court today, who generally sounded as skeptical as all the lower courts who ruled against them, but who knows? We will see what happens. What I wonder is if they are struck down, will companies drop their prices back to normal (HAH!) or just leave them...

The Universal Monsters were remolds too. Not right away...I don't have a lot of spare cash so I will be looking for a sale later.

The scary thing is there ARE people who will pay in advance for a preorder of this sort of thing just to say they didn't 'miss out', even with all the indications that it's very likely a scam. I do wonder if Hasbro will be pulling these pretty quick.

Freakwency: "You think YOU got problems?! What do you do when you turn into a VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER?!" *Ejects a tangled decrepit old 8-Track tape-bird that's built a nest in his glove compartment in anger, then transforms his gun into a rubber chicken which he then throws at Svengoolie. He's...

On the subject of turkeys, I worked out how to get HasLab Optimus Super Mode to hold a slightly modified axe (filed down the back tab so his normal mode could hold it easily, then stuck that handle into the barrel of the small pistol to peg into his back-of-hand hole). Still trying to figure...

Not addressed here, but I'd like to know, why are blue flames coming out of Optimus Prime's butt? I have other questions but they'll involve too many words the board will redflag anyway so they can probably wait.

Unrelated, I gave my nephew the Bumblebee/Megatron two-pack for Halloween, so now he has a Personal Cannon too. It's better than mine, mine can shoot a .50 lead ball with a small amount of powder, but it doesn't actually turn into anything.

Recycling a turkey of a comic about turkeys.

I'm still annoyed that they didn't remake the Canon camera Reflector as Megatron. The head was already close. Just add a small camera accessory that unfolds into his fusion cannon, and Canon Megatron's Canon cannon would have been canon. Missed opportunity.
