Those look like very nice toys for the children. Yes indeed, those are very nice toys.

Didn't think it'd take Ryan long to get Twincast up after the Blaster gallery yesterday. Twincast is a splendid figure. I was glad to add him to my collection. Flipsides is nice enough too.

Just need the KISS cassettes to arrive and I'll have em all except the Dino cassettes. Wonder why I ain't got those yet? Really wish Takara-Tomy would pull their finger out and re-issue those.

Classics Soundwave, Laserbeak and Ravage are next ... and yes, I'm putting them under the Classics section after the most recent collector's club newsletter (gasp!).

Was Twincast a Decpeticon? I'm pretty sure he was an Autobot, but the Decepticon packaging is throwing me.

As a matter of fact isn't Flipsides a Decpeticon sleeper agent?

Twincast was an Autobot in the HM cartoon. He was just the rebuilt Blaster (Broadcast).

True, but they called one of the Trainbots, "Grimlock". Even my girlfriend knew that wasn't right, and to her they all look the same!

That's what I thought. I guess someone at Takara either screwed up on the box, or it was a cost or laziness thing here.

If you look here:

http://www.tf-1.com/articles/jtf_frame.php?art=dinocass

you'll see that Maz's article shows an Autobot box for Twincast.

EDIT: O, my. I forgot this was the E-hobby reissue and not the original.

Awesome website find there! I like the original box for Twincast so much more than the reissue (despit ethe alliegence mishap)! I never knew about those Japan only dino cassettes before, pretty interesting!

The fellow who writes the articles on that site posts here sometimes as, cleverly enough, "Maz". He often posts new threads to tell us when the site is updated. Lots of interesting stuff there.

I love the Japanese Dinocassettes. I would kill to own them. I really wish Takara/Tomy would reissue them. They are the only real Grail I have left. Most other Japanese figures are irrelevant to me.
