But I thought MP price is the new Voyager price... :unsure:

Whoever came up with the idea of having them all be minor tweaks of each other was brilliant. I can barely use GIMP, but I can still manage this:

So what you're saying is, "Thanks Obama" :LOL:

I hear piracy is not a victimless crime. Arrr.

I will say, even if I don't like it, there is a reason for the car front end being a different color, beyond just that there's a fan-made deco sheet that does it. Hot Rod and Rodimus both have two shades of red/magenta/whatever. There's the lighter shade that's used on his arms, most of his...

Adding a quick vehicle mode pic. I've never been a car guy, but I loved the Firebird.

I turned five in '84. I can remember that there was a time before Transformers existed, but I can't remember when I first encountered it, when I first got one of the toys, etc. Despite that, for as long as I can remember, I've had a sense that Windcharger was my first Transformer. He was...

Thank you! That was what I'd suspected, but the corporate logos were making me question it. Unusual to see someone put them on something like this.

I've been wondering for a while. I've seen several of these animation sheets with the Marvel/Sunbow/Toei logos. Are these the actual animation model sheets, or are these just fan-made slides compiling the publicly-available images? If they're the actual sheets, where did they come from? They...

Blasphemy! This is an outrage! How dare they!? A CHROME SWORD FOR THE TOY COLORS VERSION!!!1!11!!1? 😡 Seriously, looks pretty neat, and I'd love to get a full set of ML Dinobots. Box art notwithstanding though, the sword not being red feels really odd. Those swords are one of the things I most...

I can't remember the last time I saw a Walmart exclusive in store. On an unrelated note, I also can't remember the last time I've been in a Walmart. I'm going to guess when the first wave of Swapticons came out. I'm pretty sure I picked up Hot Rod from my local Walmart.

I was hoping it would be the original deco with the clear windows, since that would go better with all the rest of the figures he'd line up with on my shelf. Oh well. One less temptation to spend money I shouldn't be spending.

I still have my childhood Monstructor. Aside from a split in Bristleback's gold legs, which so far isn't causing any real problems, he's still in great shape, too. Which is kind of amazing, since I got a lot of play out of him as a kid. He's later G1, so I was admittedly a bit older when I got...

I went with the anime colors. In general, I prefer toy colors for stuff like ML. And I would have slightly preferred the head from the prototype version. But I just don't like the orange colors on the original prototype. Never did. And I reject them as being the "toy colors" for Arcee for a few...

Happy New Year, everybody!

It was a good year for Transformers. There are a lot more than just 10 that I really liked. If I have to limit it though, these are the ones that most stand out, in no particular order: SS86 Megatron - He's actually not taking Earthrise Megatron's spot in my main display, but he's a fantastic...

I've been all in favor of divorcing size from price class, obviously within reason. I mean, sure I can justify spending $600 for my WfC Hot Rod, but that's partially offset by the big accessory he came with. But mini-bots as Deluxes, Leaders that are normal bots with accessories, and now stuff...

So, this is embarrassing... I submitted a ticket to Pulse about the missing items. They asked for some pictures of the shipping box, so I went to grab it and set aside all the packing material. And there were Amalgamous and Brawl, wrapped up on one edge of the box. They were so small relative to...

Big Convoy and Razorclaw arrived yesterday. What's confusing me is that the shipping notice from Pulse claimed that Amalgamous and Brawl both shipped with them, and they are shown as part of the shipment in my order history. They aren't there, though. I think I'd gotten a notice that Brawl was...

I never really liked the magenta much. I always preferred the toy's burgundy. This version apparently splits the yellow into two sprues though, and getting rid of that yellow piece on the car roof just improves his look a ton. So this might end up being my preferred release of the mold overall...
