So I buy this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=110667509070&si=ShkhZb2jryqY2dPbXL1IrUUZX8o%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT#ht_974wt_698 I really need the arm cause mine broke off and was lost during a move. So first the guy takes a week to ship. Which was stated that he ships only on Sundays (which he states is because he lives in Canada which is weird cause it says on the auction that hes from NY) so I was Ok I guess. But then I finally get the arm today and he ships it in a padded envelope from New York. And it arrives with his hand snapped off. Yeah $7 shipping. Now I know h…

So I stood in line with my treasure in hand... RoadBuster my fave wrecker... I got home, opened him up and smiled happily... Thats where my smile ended... It never returned. Dotm roadbuster is crap. His transformation is insanely east except the shoulder mounted launchers fall apart way to easily, the only robot mode parts that have any paint happen to be his head and a few panels on his legs... I dont count his chest the actual alt-mode is awesome, but No other paint apps? Really hasbro how cheap are you? He has sooo much detail, but its not painted, then the joints are so loose its nuts, the arms way too much and as I'm typing this his left arm just slid out of pose..…

Following a tip from someone on TFW2005, I was able to locate the last wave of the RtS Deluxes at a Marshalls today. There's similar sightings at TJ Maxxes as well with the the deluxes going for 6.99 a pop. I snagged two Wreck Gars, a Perceptor, and a G2 Optimus at the Marshalls in Manallapan, NJ. They also had the last wave of HfTD Scouts which hopefully means they'll get RtS Windcharger eventuall and also had the RtS legends figures.

I thought it was kinda odd how everyone "wasn't going to get" a g2 ramjet, but yet he sold out within 24 hours. Well I found out who "got" G2 Ramjet, and they are selling him "for a modest fee" of course. http://tfsource.com/products/view/product_id/2774/

I live in Australia and have recently purchased DOTM leader class Ironhide from Toys R Us. I was very disappointed when I discovered that the head on my figure couldn't turn at all. I had previously seen some reviews of this figure indicating that the head should actually be able to turn, albeit somewhat limited by the mask. When I returned to the store, the shop assistant offered to open another Ironhide to check whether the head could turn. To my surprise, this ironhide also could not turn its head, leading me to believe that this problem is not an isolated issue with my figure. Is there a special way to turn the head that I don't know about? Does anyone else have this …

Any word on when the next wave of DOTM figures will be out? I want Soundwave!

So I went to TRU last night, and they were having a sale. Buy one get one 50% off on Cyberverse figs. Bought Sentinel Prime and Blackout. Sentinel seems cool, though the stationary head ruins any pose-ability. Eh. Blackout. The pegs on his arms are so damn tight, they can't push together all the way and thus can not transform all the way. Upon clipping the pegs to make them shorter, they can close, but the tail piece does not stay on. The propeller blades on top also hit a peg in the front. What is this peg even for? Scorponok is soft plastic trash. In bot mode, the arms are hideous. No matter how you position the shoulders, they look wrong, and the hands really d…

I don't have to go far to know that there are more than a few people out there who would probably have an actual, physical revulsion at seeing another yellow and black toy on the shelves, but I feel that with all of the iterations of Bumblebee that have been given to us, there is one version that I think is missing. I would like to see a proper, updated version of Bumblebee's original Camaro mode. Yeah, the "Piece of Crap" Camaro from the original movie. While the modern Camaro Bumblebee has sportier dimensions, I have to say I liked the rugged, beaten look that POC Bumblebee had. I never picked up the original Bumblebee mold, because the figure never looked rig…

To all the HA Roadbuster owners, doe the top of your drivers side door keep falling off when you touch it?

So yeah, anybody excited about the FansProject Insecticons (Causality 03-05)? Seems kinda quiet. I'm tempted to pick up the set, $50 a month doesn't seem bad. FP have done a pretty good job on their past standalone figures.
