perfect way of putting it. :P

That or she gives ya the dreaded "Can't we just be friends?" speech. :MAD:

Guess I'll go with my plan of getting an extra Starscream and making my own Thundercracker, after all. I'd love Dirge and Thrust, but I know I couldn't make my own as well as Hasbro could make them for production. No way can I pay $330 for that set.

Yep, that's about it. I foresee the comparison I made earlier being the next way Hasbro shows the fans their "appreciation." But I'm not sticking around for it. This incident, combined with the botching of movie, the fan-club scam, and a handful of other, smaller issues, have taken all the fun out of Transformers for me. I'm sick of it all, and so I'm out. I may continue to write the occasional TF story of my own, something that can help me keep my writing skill polished, but otherwise, I'm done.

Great, Starscream, Skywarp, but NO Thundercracker for me :( can't believe they pull this on me T_T, the coolest colored jet being a Botcon Exclusive and Hasbro expecting me to pay $1000 to fly to the location and get this...

I want to apoligize for comments I said before . the more I think about it , even though I could not get these toys for my son, or myself atleast hasbro was nice enough to make them. I still believe the price was a little steap but they are exclusives made for the fan that can shell out extra money for somthing special. I am sorry :cry: and I would like to say thank you to hasbro for trying to make the fans happy

This is one thread I'm sure woulda needed locking. I never expected it to burn out...


The painting is going great. My first project, Ratchet, is now on the home stretch, and will be finished within the week. Just need to paint his eyes and windscreen.

My next project: Thundercracker!!!



Moral of the story- there is always a silver lining, no matter how small.



On another note, does anyone know where I could purchase an airbrush kit in the UK? Paint brush is good, but a lil uneven...
