I wish my WMs were empty, but they're packed to the gills with that weird wave 1/2 assortment that hit at Xmas.

Now our Targets on the other hand have tumbleweeds blowing threw the TF section.

Cobo here has had some outstanding luck lately, but I found a little blue kitty that is satiating the plastic fiend nicely. Pics incoming.

As the old saying goes; "you buy, we fly"

Toys R Us had no titans return other than Astrotrain, and Target's transformer section is the same as yours. Whirl is the only thing above a titan master in class size present.
Blue kitty.. hmm...

Our TRU is the land of overstocked RID warriors and leader class Blaster and PMOP, its nuts. As always, it's feast or famine and in most cases both at the same time. Anyone here every watch Pete and Pete? No, just me?

Just the 20 second mark to 38 second mark is relevant.

People keep saying "get whirl! It's good!" and I'm like "I don't care about Whirl!!! I've seen enough of him for the past three years!"

Steeljaw?

Steeljaw?

Like Generations Thrilling 30 Whirl? Yeah actually a really solid and fun transformer. Strong in both bot and heli mode, fun transformation with a few surprises, a crazy amount of weapons and looks outstanding all stickered up.

Steeljaw? Like RID Steeljaw? If so, then another nice TF flying under the radar. Newer and better figures in the line overshadowed SJ, but still a cool transformer with some neat stuff going on. Awesome articulated tail and a bot that really has a robo werewolf vibe going on.

Whirl v Steeljaw Well both are blue, both have crazy legs and I'd recommend either in their respective fiction; so go for it?

Actually the "Steeljaw?" was to you. I thought maybe you were talking about him. Then again, he's not a kitty, but a wolf.

How did we get to Whirl and Steeljaw.

But IIIIIIIIIII know the blue kitty of which he speaks!
I also am savoy with the scroll wheel on my mouse and have a basic ranking in Reading Comprehension.

And Fellas, my Walmarts and Targets are just as bad. I've seen Legends sporadically at both, and Soundwave at two Targets. Walgreens is a Tartus of a time paradox that can take you to the future, but it will cost you to ride.

Maybe it's time I regaled you all with the tale of Stinky Whirl.
I still need a nice smelling Whirl btw.

That's only a 20% chance of one of them not being stinky.

Those odds aren't THAT bad.

You didn't smell Stinky Whirl...

I'll give you one Silly guess...

Cobotron wrote:Those odds aren't THAT bad.

I think they might be, mine has a bit of toxic plastic smell, but not as bad as BURNed smell

Oh boy, Breakaway...
What do you think of him, Cobo? Last I checked not a lot of people liked him. And not just because he chucked a beloved cast of characters into the jaws of death.

Well...I know you weren't asking me, but I'm gonna say stuff anyway. To be honest, he's not all that bad. The one elbow on mine is kinda loose, which is unfortunate, but not too big a deal. Headsculpt is good, could be a bit more IDW, but I don't mind. And I do like how the shape of the face lets him do a Kubrick Stare. Fits his character (in IDW, anyway). Alt mode looks good, and the fake window paint works a bit better than Domey's. But, if you want the mold, get the mnemosurgeon first.

Ha! Since I remember your disdain for the toy from the TR thread K, I can read the dry Scottish sarcasm in your typed voice.

I'm with Sigi. I like him just fine and the head sculpt is actually super neato. I think the colors look good on the mold. Haven't noticed any elbow issues.
I don't read The comics (that much anyway) so his roll in MTMTE has no bearing for me. Sounds like a real stinker though. I also never had the G1 toy either. In fact I just TFWiki'd him to refresh my memory. I like that old clunky toy for old clunky toy reasons. So no nostalgia attached here either.

He'll probably just kind of become generibot #17 on my shelves. You know Con cannon fodder. From a desire to completionist this line I have no regrets and like him just fine.
Only regret I'm trying to iron out in my mind is paying 3ish more dollars than I needed to.

Crackhead is as Crackhead does... I guess.

I still need to hear the full story of stinky Whirl.

Getaway... Hmmm... Toy looks pretty dang acceptable. Don't know much about the character though.

Ill save Bern the trouble of linking ya

Back to the Getaway... I think the colors look great, that's a fantastic mold and the head sculpts looks nice to boot. If I wasn't trying to limit myself to only one use per mold I'd be signed up for the sneaky bastard.

I remember reading that story when I first got into TF's but hadn't yet joined this site. It still makes me laugh.

I was laughing at the first post because of the way it's worded. It reminds me of how my Dad tells stories about things like that.
