I'm sorry if this was already reported. I couldn't find anything on it, so I figured I'd post my news... Well I just wanted to let everyone know I found these two today at a local Target here in PA. They were 11.89 which I guess is the going rate, it's been soooo long since I saw any new animated I probably would have paid more. The Patrol Bumblebee and Armor Up Prime Activators were hanging next to them as well. I passed on them since activators aren't my thing. The DCPI is 087060024 It's probably the same as the normal DCPI, but I thought I'd offer it just in case. I haven't gotten to open them yet, so I don't have any impressions as of yet.

I got the repaint of Vector Prime for the Classics/Universe line recently and felt a rename would fit. Here's the profile and pictures - And the profiles: Name: Somnium Faction: None, will assist Autobots if he feels he must Motto: The reality of fate is clear, I see it all and I see nothing Profile: Somnium is an enigma, he has been alive for longer than anyone can ascertain, how he came to be a traveller of not only time, but also of dimensions and beyond even that is unknown. Not even he knows. With his Mini Con partner Brevis, Somnium appears anywhere at any time, it’s believed he appears everywhere at once. However that …

With ROTF we have gotten repaints of universe 2.0 wheelie as shadow striker, Warpath as Sparkcrusher, and Rodimus as smokescreen. Whats the possibility that we might see a cosmos repaint? Even though I wish hasbro would just release the universe legends in a 5 pack "rodimus, wheelie, warpath, cosmos, and classics BB", since the legends figures were not very common when they was released the first time.

Oddly enough, all these are real! I'd say you can't make this stuff up, but aparently somebody has :P Thake a look at the thing that would have kids wishing for coal... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/27/15-toys-not-to-buy-your-k_n_351369.html?slidenumber=mOUGXKuMGkw%3D#slide_image Not for anything, I have the Tarzan, it really is that hystericly bad. Still I can't help but wonder how this didn't make the list!?1?!?! http://j-walkblog.com/index.php?/weblog/comments/harriet_tubman_play_set/ Thats right, the Harriet Tubman Playset :doh

So is Hasbro solely banking off of the movie toys from here on out, or we will ever see Hasbro create a new cartoon line and thereby create new cartoon Transformer toys? It sure would be nice to able to walk into a Target or Toys R Us and actually desire to want to buy Transformer toys instead of walking away in disgust like I do now with the movie toys. Thank God for the Encore Reissue and Masterpiece line, or else i'd be going through TF collecting withdrawals right about now. LOL! :rofl

Last night, I was doing some scrounging around trying to see if I can find more things I'd like to take along with me on my move...and besides coming to the conclusion my folks may of been compulsive hoarders, I did manage to find a few neat items, that I figured lost to time. :lol Besides a few old books (including a TFG1 comic book!) I managed to come across: Vintage G1 Powerglide(tail wing is broken on one side, though. :tfsad ) Vintage G1 Hun-Grr McD BW Panther(Is it me, or does he look like he wants to die in beast mode, and reaally old in robot mode?) McD BM Cheetor (For the longest, it was my only BM representation of Ti Cheetor. (okay okay...I h…

So, I just got these guys(Thanks again, Scottimus) and I've been searching here and there for ways to improve on them. With Unv Ironhide, everyone knows the problems. I want to fix his head. Now, I did find this: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transtopia-fix-universe-20-ironhides-low-self-esteem/14298/ however, I was wondering if there was an easier way to fix this sucker. Unv Sideswipe. He's fine overall, but I was wondering if there was a way to switch his legs around while still maintaining stability. See, I switched the legs so that he could have the back of the car facing forward in bot mode. This makes him look different than his brother and it …

I was waiting for these all year- they're some of my favourite G1 characters, and I've never seen them out, just in review databases. Did these actually release? Were they a one store exclusive? Or are they still out there in the 'Once TF Movie 2 stuff finally gets off the pegspace, other stuff can come out' category?

So I noticed the TF Collector's Club was selling an adjustable lucite display stand for flying toys, which would look awesome with any jet-mode TF (as it does in the pics on site)... http://www.transformersclub.com/shop/index.cfm?do=detail&productid=1379 But the price seems kind of steep, even for members. Assuming this is a generic product and not something Hasbro-specific, does anyone else know a cheaper place to get this (or a comparable) accessory?
