Our Service Merchandise was also right across the road from the mall with the KB, just on the opposite side of the mall from TRU. I remember that we went there at times when I was a kid. I remember that we would place orders at the counter in the middle of the store, and I remember waiting for...

My main KB memory is finding all of the first wave of Armada there. It was the summer of '02. I had just moved to San Diego for my first real job after college. Was also just before I got married. It was an eventful time. I'm sure I got stuff from KB stores before that, but don't remember...

I finally broke down and bought a United Windcharger & Wipe-Out set just a couple months ago. Therefore, I assume an announcement of a new and relatively affordable Wipe-Out is imminent. You're welcome. 😆

I'm not sure how much is the lighting and how much is an optical illusion from having the purple site theme framing the pictures, but at first I thought you were showing off a custom Shockwave paint job on Amalgamous. The first pic especially looks like a Knights of Unicron Shockwave about to...

It's been killing me that the base molds for all the Predators are there, but there hasn't been a capsule for them yet. It seems like a perfect fit for the capsules Amazon has been doing in particular. Just do it already!

I would add that the SS86 portion of Studio Series muddies the waters considerably through its inconsistency. It has a mix of toys designed to be the cartoon cels brought to life, toys designed to be cartoon-centric versions of typical Generations toys, retools of existing toys modified to be...

If they ever do the Titan Spanner that ZacWilliam wants, he can come with a Yugo partner/minion. And a fan.

I like the idea of having toys that are the cartoon models brought to life. However, I view that through the lens of recognizing that the cartoon models were simplified for animation. Part of bringing them to life as physical objects should be restoring that detail. Siege was excessive in that...

I always make a distinction between movies that are good and movies that I like. I accept that most movies getting Oscar nominations are good movies. However, I have no interest in watching most of them. It's not quite so extreme, but I likewise think that Bumblebee is a better movie than any...

I believe that's called "Galactic Man".

This could be Sonia Belmont, named in honor of her paternal grandmother. If we can handle having 73 different Links and Zeldas, we can handle having one instance of a familial namesake.

All I can say is that there was a time when I probably would have appreciated and bought both Star Eagle and Breakaway. Now is not that time.

With Astrotrain, I think I'm mostly just disappointed that I now still have to decide whether I prefer Siege or DC more. I like the overall colors and stuff like the train pipe detailing on Siege, but hate the leg weathering. I tried removing it on mine, but that didn't go well... DC is mostly...

Shockwave looks just as tiny as expected. I've hated the SS86 scale split ever since Optimus was first revealed, so this is nothing new, but still very disappointing. The pic lastmaximal posted makes the train look a lot better. I have to admit, that's pretty nice. The shuttle mode is more of a...

I kept subconsciously adding War to every mention of Heavy Metal. Couldn't quite figure out where power chip rectifiers fit into all this...

I'd like to watch it in a theater. Never got to do that before. I didn't get to see it for the first time until my local video rental store got it in. I rented it several times, generally watching it multiple times each rental. The first time I rented it in particular, I watched it a bunch of...

Just head over to Tosche Station. I hear they have all the power converters you'd ever need. Or they did, anyway. That was apparently a long time ago...

Don't worry. I'm sure Shockwave will be happy to modify you to make room for it.

Shockwave apparently being just a reskin of Siege is disappointing. He was already a little on the small side compared to Siege Megatron and Soundwave, albeit not enough to be a problem. Unless he's been upsized in some non-obvious way, he's going to seem dinky standing next to other SS86...

I certainly hope so. But while the Bomber isn't something everyone cares about, it absolutely is something a lot of us care about. So it's going to happen, one way or another. We've already seen how poorly it works trying to add him onto a completed release that wasn't planned for it. So for a...
