Next week my apartment will be treated for bed bugs via Thermal Remediation, which uses intense heat between 120-135°F to kills the bugs in one treatment. Because I have most of my Transformers action figure collection stored in 2 large cardboard boxes in one of my closets, I worry that the heat from the treatment will damage/melt them! :( Will the heat damage/melt them? Should I remove them all from my apartment or leave them stored where they are?

So I managed to get in and preorder warpath, wheeljack, and thundercracker. But I have a few questions... 1. How does hasbro handle payment on preorders? My bank has hasbro listed as a "pending" transaction. Does hasbro have a similar policy with other online retailers and only withdraws the money for a preorder after it ships? 2. How accurate are the estimated ship dates listed on the order information page? Has anyone ever had hasbro ship the figures sooner than this date?

I had the scrawny little dude at TRU climb up and pop a new case of Voyagers, since all they had was like a billion Primes. I guess ol' one eye is shortpacked or something. Anyway, here are my thoughts on the guy: I heard a lot of b!tching about his WFT-is-that cybertronian tank thing alt mode. Well, I for one think it looks pretty good, and it makes perfect sense. Shocky didnt come here to hide, or blend in. He's here to F some sh!t up, and a huge gun with tracks/wheels seems like a good choice to me. My gripes are few, and he only real issues I have with him are the looseness of the knee joints in his right leg. I tried to tighten the screws, but theyre overti…

Hi guys, I've been looking forward to this for ages. It's been a long time since I wrote an article this long about an item so special. This is the first and only packaged (or loose for that matter) example I or anyone I know has ever seen of the 1985 Joustra "Diaclone" Lancia Stratos (Wheeljack) sold in Europe. If there are more, posting on these forums should help uncover them! I fully believe this to be amongst the world's rarest mass-release, non-prize, non-store-exclusive, internationally sold pre-Transformers/G1 Transformers item. Rarer than Marlboor Wheeljack, Blue Bluestreak, PCDX, Finnish Black Tracks or any of those other hyped and scarce expensive Diacl…

I really like this thing. The base figure has a nice alt mode, a cool transformation and the robot mode's really been growing on me. I certainly don't mind the arms as much as I thought I would and the legs are well sized. The weird proportions have become less and less of an issue as I've come to understand and enjoy the figure. The only thing I truly dislike about the base figure is that they decided to put the new abdomen molding crap on it. Well, more precisely, they decided to put it up under his windows, per the movie design, which places his abdomen well inside his ribcage, which looks really damn weird and leaves the lower part of his torso that's above his pe…

Anybody know if Shockwave's going to make a Cyberverse appearance? I'm most likely not getting anything else but Cyberverse from this set of toys, so I hope so.

I already know that there are 4 (technically 7 or 8 but I won't go overkill) Jetfire versions to show up in the US. They are: 1. Painted Macross logo with Matshurio stamp 2. Sticker Macross logo with Matshurio stamp 3. Plain-wing with square Bandai stamp 4. Plain-wing with word Bandai stamp And I am aware that there are some mixed up versions that have shown up, but it would be impossible to know the difference between a transitional Jetfire compared to one that may have been repaired using other Jetfires. So I am now thinking about the other Jetfire releases out there, and I can think there are only 2 others? I know there was a Milton Bradley one, and I k…

This was on Yahoo this morning: http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/house-of-shelves.html It is listed as shelves for books, but could you imagine filling this with Bots and Cons?

have any of you guys that purchased the deluxe Optimus Prime with trailer that the kreon prime included is not the same one from the box. The one i received was the botcon exclusive with the matrix out. Any thoughts ?
