I made an eBay account when I was prbably 12 or 13? All you needed was a credit card to verify age, and I paid for stuff my mail in money orders. First thing I bought was a Takara BW Tigatron

You know what? I'm totally stealing this idea for a new thread over in toy discussion, hope you don't mind, Shaj, I'll give you credit where it is due.

I did notice a "not great" reaction, even Seibertron had some negatives! Since I don't have DotM leader Optimus anymore, I'm looking at this guy as a direct replacement of my Movie 2007 leader Optimus. Much like how Masterpiece Movie Series Bumblebee will be a direct replacement for my Movie 2007 Premium Bumblebee. That's who I'll compare them to. Can't wait for this summer!!

shouldnt they go on their own shelf

Everyone is mixed in everywhere, but mostly Bayverse with Bayverse unless it's a "all of a certain character in whatever version" display

i think its time for a cram shelf update.everything better not be crammed together

You are right, it is time! Maybe this weekend I'll take some shots of the chaos, or rather, the bin of bots in front of the shelf that are in fact crammed together!

It's really a weird mix right now..

I dig the shrine type displays. I'm considering an OP shrine.

Thoughts?

I've had them before!! Dat shrine display. It's cool and fun if you keep it to figures you like and don't just buy every version to buy every version. Problem is, you need to buy to SEE if it's a figure you like

Isn't that always the problem?

I remember those now. That's some serious shrinage. Mine would be like a mini shrine, maybe shrine isn't even the right word. Spotlight, yeah an Optimus Prime spotlight of like 4 or so figures

You should be close to doing Spotlights on Soundwave and Prowl too, right?! I say ROLL FOR IT!!

Surprisingly no.

I have four Soundwaves, all committed to other displays. MP, BH Prime, vanilla Prime and WfC.

I have technically 4 Prowls. MP, CW, Alt-Mode and QT.

I'm not that prolific when it comes to dupe characters even across several lines. OP and Megs are probably the characters I have the most dupes of (and of course Bee ).

Well dang. I thought you woulda had more!

I'm trying to think of who else I have a bunch of and really just Starscream comes to mind.

Tangled, super underrated!!

Starscream is the best. He's next on my shrine list.

I enjoyed Tangled. If anyone deserves a shrine, it's Starscream. The only problem would be the fights to see which one gets to set at the top

But if you're going to go Starscream, you might as well just make it a general Seeker shrine

People don't like MPM OP? I haven't wandered over to thread yet, but what's not to like??

wether or not its worth it to upgrade from rotf

Nope. One does not need the other

They crazy. Who wouldn't want the new shiny?!

shajaki wrote:But if you're going to go Starscream, you might as well just make it a general Seeker shrine

True, but I'd only shrine figures I have. I'm not planning any shrines at the moment. Just in a I need a place for all these Primes kinda jam.

Fans not liking a figure? That never happens. It looks pretty cool to me. Not my tastes, but I can appreciate it for what it is.

So here's some things.


Having fun in the Bayverse. Eagerly anticipating the Masterpiece Movie Series!!

Another thing that is occupying my time is the greatest videogame since the NES days, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Here's some random screenshots over the last few days.





Ordered the Deluxe Collectors Edition Guide the other day when the price dropped on Amazon. It's huge. And amazing. I just like books on The Legend of Zelda.


Also, no, I don't have the Switch. I bought the Switch Special Edition (minus the game) on the eBay for cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeap. That's how big that book is though!!

Nice swarm you got there, Itsbeekeepertastic

Aw yeah, Zelda all day erryday
