so am i really lame for wanting the hentacle USA addition powerglide because he is g1 accurate. I know a red airplane is dumb, but powerglide is such a ghey character he needs a proper g1 translation, so that means red!!!
he is probably gonna be too big to fit in my cornhole with hentacle astrotrain

You know that Powerglide is red because he's made from orphans' blood.

Yeah, I hovered over those a couple weeks ago at TRU.
Also, is it me, or is Wall-E the most underpromoted Pixar film ever?

It seems that Powerglide is going to be repainted based on a black micromaster jet, so I'll just be waiting for that dude and say screw you to the white and the red. I shall have my Rattler!!!

I'm excited, waiting on a BTA-01 Alert. It'll be a new BT/Alt/KP mold for me, bringing me up to all the KP and BTA-01/02. Need to grab a BTA-03 still, and I'm beginning to think I'm really going to have to find BT-11/BT-13 Ravage/Shockwave. Already have the RX8 mold from KP, but I really like it, and I really like the way Shockwave came out.

I always want to buy cool toys like that electronic Wall-E, but I never want to actually plunk down the cash for it. That's the reason I STILL haven't bought my movie OP voice changer helmet. A local Fred Meyers has about 10 of them with the Cullen voice chip, but they're still $35. That's not worth it at all IMO.

I actually like BTA-3 better than Skids, but perhaps that's because Blaster was a character I actually remember from G1...

As tempted as I get I've been doing really good about not branching back out into other toy lines again. I do still need to go back and grab a boxed Lion Force Voltron again one of these days. I have the Masterpiece, and really want to be able to set it out next to an original.

I don't know why, but I found myself favoring the BTA/KP just because they came with a few other accessories I suppose; could do without the little PVC figures though. KP just had some good utilization of some good molds, and I guess it motivated me to grab a few others; so I'm starting with BTA because they're all molds I don't have, and they have cool robot-mode packaging.

I haven't watched any of the show, and for whatever reason the toy itself just doesn't shout "must have" at me, it's not bad, but I couldn't bring myself to spend any money on it either.

Some people think he's awesome, so I might just be high. But the robot mode is Barricade-esque in its awkwardness IMO. The difference with Lockdown being that the legs are huge car slabs and the arms are fiddly, over-jointed messes.

But I had to have Ratchet's EMP weapon...and Lockdown looks pretty badass just standing there, which is all he's likely to be doing in my collection. Since he appears to be shortpacked, I figured I'd go ahead and pick up Lockdown in case I didn't see one again.
FYI I found a crapload of Animated toys at one Walmart today.

I picked up Grimlock, Ratchet, and Lockdown. I want to get, I dunno, ALL OF THEM, but I have a wife and just-college-gradutated-ness to deal with.

So far I've grabbed Grimlock and Cybertron Mode Prime. They're really kick-ass, but for the amount of issues I'm hearing these first waves have, I'm only too happy to be choosy this time around. Plus you know they will do some deluxe 2 packs down the road, and maybe some of the QC issues will be fixed, so I'll hopefully grab some of the other deluxes then.

We're in the process of laptop shuffling. After finishing my thesis, we may get rid of the wife's Inspiron 1000, and I add more RAM and drop a new HD and cooling unit in my Insprion 5100. We were wanting to get an Eee PC, but I'm waiting to see how much their new 901 series with Bluetooth and an Atom processor costs.
