This shot is pretty amazing. Reminds me of some of the old Takara stock images from a time long forgotten.

So are the walls in your room blue? Makes a great sky.

donny, next time your snappin' shots, will you take a wide shot or maybe a top down type shot?
I'm still having trouble making out the entire layout of the Ark.
I wanna see it in it entire glory!

Why yes, yes I did

they had a pretty awesome Lego setup, INCLUDING some of the Kre-o sets from AoE that didn't look all that bad! Went to the Lego store as well, and GameStop (picked up Lego Jurassic World). Target had a good TF selection, between there and TRU I could've made two Menasors, but I didn't.

We all were a little sunburned from the Air Show at the beach last weekend, so "shopping" was the theme for today

I'm glad you were able to enjoy the weather today!!

Also, Transformers. Because this is a Transformers forum. :lol:

In other news, I should sell my Bayverse figures and some CHUG stuff to get some MPs. I've realized the MPs don't "sell out" quite as quickly anymore compared to the CHUG figures I go after. I'm getting impatient waiting for the MP releases at TRU. AND I want to pick up some of the old TRU Commemorative G1 re-releases of figures that I don't have or DO have that are not in great shape. I need to focus dang it!! MP Ironhide is coming out!! That means Ratchet too!! After picking up CW Devastator, re-creating the Autobot shuttle massacre in TF:TM will be possible!!!!!!!!

DID ANYONE ELSE REALIZE THAT?! Holy cats!!!

Oh no...well the important thing is you got sunburned together as a family... :lol:

Seriously hope it's not too bad...I know all to well the horrors of sever sunburn.

I made the decision to sell off my CHUGS as soon as Bee landed,. Ever looked back, sure I had some great figures but not one of them compare to any of my MP's. The problem is I've run out of CHUGS!

Good to know Sir Lube!! I feel like if I miss a CHUG they double/triple in price. If I miss an MP, it gets re-released LOL

My problem is I may have to consider Takara UW Devastator "Masterpiece"

He does look good, but I think I'm gonna pass on him, gonna have a bit of a break myself as I now concider myself caught up on Masterpiece, it'll be nice to take a step back and se how things pan out for a while, it's been a crazy 6 months securing all these MP's so far.
