^Yep! I was planning on displaying the older Lil' Shockwave in blaster mode with Bruticus instead. That Viper was so much fun (and I like lil Powerglide, too).

That is a pretty good deal, and I like the facesculpt on Sandstorm. I've just already got both of them (and the LG version of Slugslinger, no less!).

But ya see, they didn't do any of those things; they could have, but they didn't. Instead, they removed the greebles, changed the color, left the extra accessories alone, and yeeted him into production. So to me, this upcoming release works as an "if you missed him the first couple of times...

I do like the way that the recently announced Shockwave looks. I would rather it be the one that I displayed in my collection, but I'm okay with Stege until they give him a proper redo.

IMO, Hound is nice-ish, but he definitely isn't/wasn't worth the exclusivity, teeth gnashing, Detritus, and time it took to get here. I picked mine up as part of the Autobots United? (Last Stand? Don't know if that name is correct) 5 - Pack from a couple of years ago. It's good that he's...

I went in on Nemesis, despite my issues with it (mostly that it transforms into a robot that I don't care about). It's sitting in my PoL right now. Onslaught and Swindle are my most anticipated mainline releases, followed by Liege Maximo and Kranix. Beyond that, I'm looking forward to HasLab...

I feel like the only thing that could potentially save this SS86 toy would be a nice, old-fashioned Takara deco + an inevitable DNA kit. But then, those would be much more than $60...

Erniemus Prime!

Ugh. It's rare that I do this, but I just canceled my preorder. Looking at the Siege Astrotrain that has stood proudly on my shelf in robot mode for the past several years, it was a very easy decision. I know that the designers work within a budget and 2026 gonna 2026, but the $60 juice just...

Damn, that looks really good in both alt modes.

A 3D version would be pretty cool. I want to see the Matrix burst forth from the screen and feel like it's lighting my darkest hour!

Lol, Service Merchandise was always kind of out of the way in my area; one really had to want to go there! It was a stop of mine in the early days of hunting for Transformers, but I would most often go there out of sheer desperation. KB and Toys R Us were always far more accessible. Later...

What an incredible bit of good news. Congratulations to Mr. Chalk, and cheers to many more healthy years ahead!

Off the top of my head, I recall the following: Ninja Gaiden (NES) Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES) G.I. Joe Snake Eyes (1985) G. I. Joe Bazooka (1985) G1 Rippersnapper G1 Hun-Gurr G1 Catilla G2 Laser Optimus Prime G2 Megatron G2 Dreadwing Megatron Megabolt Oooh, tangential...

Probably the "sleep mode" version :LOL:

Really loving that "Diagnostic Drone"-ish pic :love:

I loved KB and have very nice memories of them. They would often be quite a bit more expensive than some of the other non-mall stores, per item, as I recall, unless you found something on sale. But to their credit, they did have some pretty good sales!

When I hear "blue Optimus", I think to myself, "I wonder if he's asked Ratchet if Zoloft is right for him?"

I mean, what's in a name, really? These are all just dumping grounds for whatever the current crop of product is. Studio Series, Collaborative, Age of the Primes, Unicron's Dance Party - they're all just places to stick plastic robots.

I have followed Nonnef for years. Absolutely top notch products with prices that are generally scaled to make sense with what the upgrade is for. Hell, I'm even double-dipping and getting the recently-recolored G2 Sideswipe set, even though I have the first one. Just love the colors on the...
