Gawd, I hate that. Can it even be buffed out?

I think it would need a repaint!! Couldn't tell it was gonna be there since it was an order from HTS

The biggest downside to ordering figures online.

I like to be able to pick and choose the "best" one. Or if it's too bad off just leave it and look else where.

I'm the same way, but convention exclusives ruin that for me

Or the dreaded web exclusives. Sometimes you just have to go with luck of the draw and be ok with that

Quite true! At least I have him He's pretty dang awesome. I prefer this deco over the Binaltech version, but that one came with a fishing rod that also turned into his forearm blasters!!

Wanna see a visual guide as Cary's train of thought derails?





How I fish in Breath of the Wild

Excellent train of thought!!

Who's your friend that loves to play?
Bing Bong! Bing Bong!



Ol' Curly got a one track mind.

thanks Cram. I thought it looked like those tabes were meant to sit in those "slots", but they just wouldn't line up right on Mirage. Clamping the chest down with those side panels holds it in well enough, and doesn't look too bad either.

Rod's deco and head sculpt are dope! There was a fleeting second there where I had the urge to duobe dip. It's gone now.

I had the double dip urge. Then I had them both. Then I stuck with the character that spoke to me most.

Well, you know Mirage has more significance to the history of Cobotron. More so than, La Rod de Chaleur.

Now we're both happy!!!!!!!!!

...is it bad that I can't remember if I have him? I'm sure I've got Mirage.
The Alts don't get much attention put on them in the collection room because I only have a few. The BT's however are all MIB and form a nice wall on top of the bookshelves in my lounge.

The Binaltech Wall of Burn?! 'Twas only but a myth!!

Turns out, no Alternator Mirage. Alternator Rodimus though!

Hooray!!

You guys and your alternators. I had to fix the cables to the alternator on my wife's car last year.

That counts right?

Good enough for me!

Just don't mess with the transformers out on the power poles at the street. That's for the County Linemen.

Objection your honor, leading the witless!

EGAD! What Quazatronic Worm Hole opened over my desk and dropped these Meteor Cores?!



Nuggets!!

Dem nuggets look delicious, Cobo!!

Damn, now I'm hungry.

The Box Beasts!!

Dem BBs look cool. Thoughts and size comps plz! Talk me back into buying them!

Well, DANG!
Lot's of things. All the things!
All these things are putting their thing down in my thing place where I keep all my things!

Failed delivery due to signature required, led me to pick these Japanese things up from the United States Postal Things Office.



-Takara Legends Autobot Clone Things
- extra Big Powered Dia-nauts and Diabike (AKA Road Viper) Things

And Chris, my friendly neighborhood Postal things bringer, brought me a thing that I wasn't expecting so soon.
This Thing got here QUICK! Ol' Matt Camaratta from Transformerland.com REALLY knows how to party!



Bodrock. If you're out there, you might like this thing.

What thing is this?!?!?!?


MACH KICK!


I have wanted this figure for a long time, and it was my convo's with Sir Bod De Rock that got me off my duff to do something about it.
He is the weirdest of the weird. In a Beast Wars World of weird things, he is quite possibly one of the weirdest weird things to have ever weirded out on some things!
I grew up on a horse farm. Horse's have played a big part in my family history. They are kind of the family spirit animal. The fact that there was a horse Transformer out there, and I went this long with out having him is, well, just dumb. No matter how weird of a thing he is.
(Although I DO have Beast Machines Battle Unicorn)



In fact I have found it strange, wonderful, and oddly symbolic that my 3 year old has this innate attraction to horses. AND, she was born in the year of the horse. If only her Grandfather were still here to foster her love for horses. He would have been psyched to have a granddaughter who loves the thing he loved.

And then Cary said something about how I need a transforming Epona, literally as I was doing this!



And that's how all the things became a thing in my thing zone.

Now to find some time to play with all these things.
Including those BeastBOX things from last Friday.
