Looks like the price increases have started, on existing stock as well as preorders. Weird. But I saw some of that at BBTS before, now it's hit Pulse too. Edit: And while almost everyone has said this at one time or another, I really may be out. If WalMart of all places has deluxes about 30...

I've heard Antarctica has very few investments in it so far, I imagine the local economy would appreciate a wealthy toy company offering to move operations in for pennies on the dollar. The only hangup is that penguins lack of hands makes the assembly a bit tricky. Seriously, though, there...

While not a 'great' bird, Animorphs Tobias had some of the best wings I'd seen to that time, where they could spread, fold, even pose in both ways lifelike. BW Owl Prowl, as noted, could do the same thing, though it had fewer joints so it didn't have the same 'feather spread' ability.

Overthinking? Oh, I've been doing THAT for YEARS...but I do still have fun, even if it's at the expense of logic and reason. Like when Shockwave was at a con with the other Shockwaves and decided to cosplay Shockwave but as usual there was a girl in the group who only barely understood the...

This reminds me of the time Shockwave went back in time to kill Shockwave and gain the power of Shockwave in order to stop Shockwave's plan and instead ensure that Shockwave would become Shockwave to fight off Shockwave in order to win Shockwave's hand in marriage. Or was that Optimus Prime...?

Well, it's Transformers, Optimus has to die of SOMETHING... Optimus Prime: Dies of dysentery. Bumblebee: Ironically, stung to death trying to get honey out of a hive. Wheeljack: Highjacked by Highwaymen Skyjack: Wheeljacked by Wheeliemen. Or just violently explodes when he realizes he's an...

If it helps, fan-waving Starscream's arm cannons are matchlock arquebuses.

HAH! I just realized Starscream's arm cannon are now matchlock arquebuses!

This is...weird. I got an Ultra Magnus today from Customer Care, by which I mean the truck, chrome bits for the front and Omega Prime's ears, but no Blue Bolts. And an email saying Prime is being sent separately. I have managed to fix my existing Magnus (wing posts were so stuck the plastic...

"Ox, not Studio...Ox...where was I going with this complaint?" Hasbro giving Starscream fans the bird, I see...

"Autobots! Transform and ROLL OUT!" (Optimus turns into an Ox Cart and slowly begins to plod towards the battlefield. He arrives two weeks late.) Meanwhile: Megatron: "You've betrayed me for the last time, Starscream!" (He carefully places a tanto, some paper, and a pen in front of...

A while back ToyHax made a sticker and mask set for "The Fallen" from CW Trailbreaker, which I tried to improve a bit with better weapons and some minor repainting of the silver to a 'worn bronze' look. Fast forward several years, and I got Megatronus, and decided to do the exact same thing to...

Best to open it up first before trying to slide it, as otherwise it can sometimes crack his abs on the first try. I also on my own removed (carefully) the plastic box ratchet in the waist bend, and the spring ratchets in the hips, both of which weren't needed but were scary tight. Not helped by...

So does sleeping on the job! At least, according to that series.

Supposedly the fix we did ourselves is just what Hasbro did with these 'fixed' Primes, too. I haven't gotten one yet, they claimed I would but I figure I will wait and see. Mine is working, though I do keep an eye on the ab section. Thing is, it's a great set, undermined by having the QC...

Wow...

I can't criticize anyone, for my own shelf I put HasLab Optimus with the Origins Autobots, HasLab Micromasters, and Star Saber in place of the Car Brothers, Spy Changers, and Train combiners simply because I had them, they fit visually (for me) and I liked them. On the other side I have in...

Could be worse, years ago some people I knew got so seriously flooded that there were manatees in their flower bed eating their plants. They put it up on Youtube, I think. Florida is scary at times.

I remember the early days in Ben Yee's Beast Wars forum where people would obsess over if Optimus Primal was really Optimus Prime, and Cheetor was Hot Rod, and so on. It got weirder as time went on even post-Beast Era, like when Car Robots came out and someone mistranslated the ladder length as...

But the real monsters were the ones we became along the way... It's been pointed out to me just how inaccurate this comic is, if he really was the Spirit of Halloween his alt-mode would be a temporarily rented defunct department store front.
