The big thing looks like da bomb.

Said Ratchet when he found a hole in the Fembot showers wall....

 

I LIKE the same bot different face thing, it screams of US, we are basically the same body with different heads. It also fits in with the storyline, Satellites of the same design but different functions. It shows us that they are made by the same company, think like Boeing producing multiple versions of the 747 one has Air-Force-1 with its extras, they also have those with casino's inside, they also have them with a Bar and spiral staircase. All are the same externally all have virtually identical interiors but at the neck they are vastly different.

Yup. That's the one! March 08 for me.

 

And check out this slew of new shiz comin' our way:

 

 

Some look like Blot, others look like Gold, obviously no one is gonna collect all of 'em.

 

I like the Trans armor ones.

Yea. I'm certainly passing on the playset. The next ones I'm interested is the Turbofly, and then maybe that bigger $20 set.

 

Hey, Dinobot Leader, on Mongra + Tek, is it the new style mini-figure, or is it old style?

 

Aoi

[Dinobot Leader]

Same style. Lil' guys are all the same.

[Taaron]

Hm. Interesting. The Vehicle one(s?) have completely new mini-figures. I guess I'll have to pull out one of the Neo-Shifter torsos and see if they still fit.

Hate to DP/Bump. I stopped by K-Mart before visiting my Aunt, and they had a little tag on the shelf saying All Mega Blocks are 10% off till 3/11. They had the huge $20 duo, and the smaller sets. (I would of got the $20 duo, but they also had a Lego Exo-Force Aero Booster on clearance for $18. They left up their Lego tag for 10% and even though it expired, since it was left up, they had to honor it...so I got it for $16 something. Yay.)

 

Anyhow, I picked up the Quad Pod (since I'm kinda doubting I'll get my replacement launcher for the Hydrowave) and the TurboFly.

Ask and ye shall receive! I'm probably gonna take another shot at some more photos once I get my web page going, these are kinda iffy.

Anyhow, a few quick takes on the subject. I wish the tail on the Quadpod had more articulation to make it sort of like a posable-esqe scorpion tail. The figure, as seen in the first picture, needs some glue or something. The top half w/the arms and head keeps falling off. The Turbofly is awesome. Messing around with it, if one buys multiple of the Turbo, you could possibly build a decent Tachikoma-ish mecha.
