Scale has always been a mess, but I usually didn't have the money to get a lot of different things. I did get the Encore AND Kabaya Maximus. Comes in handy for different things since neither scales well with everything. Like how Encore Maximus is on top of a dresser being a big prop, while...

"Let's CARVE that turkey!" -I think adding the short gun to the slightly modified axe (filed the back angled post to get rid of an obstruction) like I did to make it peg into the back of the Super Mode hand also makes it look more proportional to the inner-core Optimus. And having had it...

That's actually a good point though...I wonder if the reason they DIDN'T go for 'cheap repaint multipack' was because of Dinoking, and the possible Monstructor coming up later. Core Dinobots in G2 colors would maybe not be mistaken for Dinoking, but Monstructor's bright color clashes, depending...

Thank you! It was the metalflake mixed with the odd lines that worried me. Like I'd said in a prior post I'm messing with them a bit more now that I have the backup bits, which is also leading me to find some very strange things.

I was just worried I had accidentally put up something really rude, because that IS the area in question, and I didn't think of it till AFTER the fact. I try to avoid anything like the other boards, there is a reason I don't post there. It's also hard to tell tone in text, so believe it or not...

I meant better at taking pictures. I'm actually serious about the structural issue. If you look at the pelvis molding, you can see the metallic swirls similar to what GPS starts as, and having it so close to a pressure point where the screw goes in worries me. I have seen some cases where the...

No, no, don't worry! I did all the various correctives on the toy. So there's nothing to worry about, he's been 'fixed'. The question is, how long will that state hold up...?

I don't think they're for me, but I'm glad they decided to keep the extra swords with Swoop, so he can share with the other Dinobots!

I made this comic years ago, maybe I accidentally predicted a future plot point and the color change is in memory of his accidental victim.

"Me, Sludge, tastes like sherbet!" "Me, Swoop, say Kermit the Frog was right!" *Grimlock says nothing, just begins playing the sax mournfully....*

Sorry, I should have had that first, but it didn't work well. Figured it out, I had to turn off the flash and use angled lighting! For all the dumb comic ideas, you'd think I'd be better at this... Like I said, it's NOT cracked, but it and the spare both have this look to them. In the...

Ugh...Ok, someone with better eyes than me, does Optimus Prime's pelvis part look 'sparkle-swirly' with a line in the plastic disturbingly near the screw hole? At first I thought it was a crack, it's NOT, but it also looks an awful lot like it WILL be at some point. And metalflake swirl has...

Anything has a base mode if you're bad enough at parking.

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.
