Glad you were there to look out for her.

If this had a normal head and a lower price, it'd be tempting.

It's cool that you got to just hang out and chat about that with your son. It's also tough being a kid who pays attention to continuity and catching all the mistakes when writers and animators don't have that same level of investment.

You'd think they could "rotate the crops," but they don't. Franchise movies seem like they get most of the attention. (so I guess we should ask when Oppenheimer 2 is coming out?) I wish that "passing the torch" worked - I really do like Anthony Mackie as Falcon and as Cap - but I went back and...

I thought Chuck Mangione had already passed away. I saw him play live once at a jazz festival - pretty sure it was him, Arturo Sandoval, and a couple other guys. This was 25 or 26 years ago, so there's no way to dig up the info. That performance was cool to see, because we were there to see...

So I clicked the link - and I really think Rawstory is in the wrong on this one. That wasn't news, that was a "huh?" phone call that shouldn't have made it on the air, let alone into a click-bait article.

The chromed G2 minibots do sound really cool. Retro card vs retro box - I got the retro Brainstorm whenever those were out and kept the box for display. I got a retro Bumblebee - the minibot w/ more paint and the newer head - and I have that tacked up to a wall. I skipped the retro Bumblebee...

It's all going to be okay, because now there'll be sugar in coke.

Yeah, those'd be cool to see.

These guys were on my desk until today: No sharks. I checked. I do have a dusty fire engine, though.

Did not expect to find this - Looking up Alchemist Prime led to Beast Wars Uprising led to looking for pictures of Commandrons, because I had all four and we got them when I went to Expo 86 . . . which led to looking up pictures of Expo Ernie. And then I found this . . ...

Walmarts around me are weird - stores across town or in neighboring cities have drastically different selections. All I remember seeing for the last month or so was Studio Series TF:One toys. (Oh - and Retro Gears. And maybe Devastation Optimus.) I've seen other lines up until that point, but...

Found Alchemist Prime at Walmart this evening. Two on the pegs, I think Crasher and Vortex were there, too. Picked up one Alchemist and left the rest. (Probably won't get to free him from his plastic prison until my grandson goes to bed, though.)

Brothers Brick and Brickset have the announcement up. Looks really cool, and turned out better than Bumblebee. $180ish, so I probably won't go for it until the price comes down. (Hopefully.) Also looks like 6 pieces could be swapped out to get Buzzsaw instead of Laserbeak.

Hassenfeld is one of those names that doesn't seem to come up anymore, but sounds like he was an incredible guy.

We see both cases, though, like how Twincast was released, but Blaster's been released multiple times. (as I learned this week) Botcave . . . I may steal that term.

I didn't look at the wiki - I didn't realize there'd been that many re-releases already.

I got home and remembered I can't do group portraits at the moment - some of the bots I'd need for those pics are currently in pieces on my desk waiting for me to finish the re-chroming and re-stickering project I started this summer. My go-to toys went from a group of Lego minifigs to a couple...

Hey look, Eject isn't quite so see-through this time around.

Drinking game. Got it. I wondered about that, too. One more chance for people to have that pair.
