We FINALLY have some images of the much anticipated Generations Wave 3 figures coming out soon. This wave includes Rattrap, Crosscut, and Tankor. While much of the excitment is over Rattrap, does the reveal of Crosscut mean we may see more e-Hobby characters like Road Rage?

Aww... youguys hated Abomy? Man, I like having a scale sized Raptor chasing after Jazz! Or Crosswise, the Cyb Monster hunter. And mine isn't floppy. I'll give yu the Target set, I grabbed it because I hadn't even seen Hun-Grr when it came ou and now that I have the single card guys I'm not fond of the colors, but I want to get the other reppaints, Rotgut (Blip), Divebomb, maybe even the Takara guys!

ROTF: I could agree with Club issues, but Target got hit too and I'm not sure I can hold it against tthem like that...

EDIT: An addendum now that I have just about finished this, thank you PodCast crew for reaffirming why it is I cannot stand Ron Burgundy and Will Ferrell in general. Jon, kudos, you did an excellent job of capturing the voice, this is not targetted at you, I just CAN'T STAND them...

Thirded on the Alternator comments about PITA to put in car mode and store.

I hate the combined Abominus, but adore the separate figures in the set when not combined. Haven't re-listened but if I didn't make that point, here it is :)

I agree with you guys that the Club snafu in 2013 was the worst headache for the year. I was not personally affected but hearing the stories from everyone was heartbreaking.

There was so much to be aggravated with: First TFCC should have had a better online system. How many years have fans complained? I believe even Ryan suggested to them that their online security was very outdated and needed to be upgraded. It was only after the hacking incident that they decided to upgrade. The upgrading then delayed their subscription service, which was another slap in the face that their services are running by threads.

How TFCC handled the hacking incident with the public was a disservice as well. In the very beginning, their message was that they were very sorry and that they were going to make things right. But a week later, their message changed to a bland statement that retracted any human element of empathy. They were simply directing people to check own credit reports and put the burden back on the customer. I am sure their legal counseling suggested that they go this route. The store Target is a great recent example where another company did the exact same thing. I understand why TFCC decided to go this route, but I think it was a stupid move for them because they are a mom and pop store and rely on fans. I think they really burned their bridge with fans.


I was hoping you guys were going to talk more about Wheeljack's MP images so far, maybe you can include your thoughts in the next installment?

Good episode, thanks.

Matt - You are the man for getting those CJ Nikes!
I thought they were cool when I first saw the pics but I don't wear shoes like those anymore (ever). I did used to really like the Air Jordans from back in the day when I was in high school in the early 90's though. Anyway last month while Christmas shopping in a mall I decided I wanted to see them in person so after checking all the stores in the mall with no luck I then decided it was time for me to get a rad new pair of kicks for the first time in 15-20 years (hate when they play hard to get)....so I finally find a pair online when I get home on a secondary market shoe site. Even though these were sold out everywhere (or sent back - one store said they didnt sell well in my area and were packed up and sent elswhere lol!) I found a pair online for retail price and put in my order. There was no mention of the Megs figure and I was fine with that, just wanted the shoes, not the spindly little megatron repaint. Two days later my wife calls me at work and says "your ridiculous shoes have arrived along with a second, tiny little shoebox". To my suprise the Megs came as well and Hasbro has won me over with the packaging. Really well done... lovingly done....A sneakerhead/transfan's dream. The shoes are really well done too! I got the crazy ones that are the same design as the cleats - so much awesome shiny purple! I just can't bring myself to wear them because they are sooooo cool and I don't want to crease them or get them dirty, lol! So I got the awesome sauce shoes and the figure for $120. I just saw a store selling the figure alone on Amazon for $144.
