I got all three arm fancy with Rumble, but I think there is a more efficient way of doing that with a single arm and the side clip.

Now I feel like I need some large craft paper rolls #-o

Seconds really. I upload from my phone. I either post from my phone or from my PC. Just depends on where I am at the moment. Even when I use my camera it doesn't take any longer to copy the photos over and upload.

The photobucket app is way better than the site with all their ads and junk. Runs super slow, at least on my PC.

Either way from upload to post really is just in minutes.

Could be your internet connection. Here's an IT Protip:

Go here and see what your upload speed is.

http://www.speedtest.net/

Some ISP (internet service provider) have crazy fast download, but slow upload. Upload can be a real killer with large pics from today's phones. But this is really on half of the equation (which ISPs don't want you to know).

Throughput is the real test.

http://www.pingtest.net/

See what your results are there.

TL;DR ?

The rated speed bandwidth is only what you "can" achieve in an ideal setting and usually that is tested with very small packets.

Where throughput and stability gives you a real sense of your connection. So you man have 50Mb down, but if you're getting a lot of noise, jitter or packet lose on your lines it will take forever for you to download or upload something because the browser/your pc has to keep trying over and over and over....

Every request you send is verified to make sure you or the destination got it and if those verifications are getting lost, one side or the other keeps waiting until it is confirmed. So ISP's advertise speed not stability. Marketing and it's a hard thing to verify and maintain.

Also most ISPs will be something like 50Mb down but only 1.5Mb up. Which is fine for normal internet browsing or even watching Netflix. It only takes a small amount of data to say "gimme" and then it pours in, but when you upload a 1.5MB photo (note MB is different than Mb) it's a whole different ball game. I'm on poopy hotel interwebz, and my up and down speeds are all over the place and my pingtest results were a D-

Oh yeah, Transformers ;)^

sorry, force of habit :oops:

Second pro-tip:

I'm loving the Highbrow pics. You're making me even more antsy to finally find this wave! Highbrow is probably the figure I'm most anticipating from wave 2.

Good luck on the hunt. I found mine at Walgreens, hopefully the big box stores will be stocking them soon.

Off the top of my head he probably has some of the best paint apps. I do really like Wolfie's plastic inlay. I'm still just a little disappointed with HB. Simple transformation, poseability is a little limited and seems a little back heavy. Still a good figure and looks very cool.

Be warned he has bobble headitis, but that really doesn't bother me.

by **joeprime276** » Thu Oct 20, 2016 5:42 pm

Thanks! I've been checking for them for the past couple months and no sign unfortunately. Just a ton of Blurr and scourge. I'm getting ready to just order the wave online. :roll:

Yeah thats pretty much become standard with TR figures. Doesn't bother me anymore either.

Whew, that title is a mouthful. Well I was one of the lucky ones that was able to snag a Titans Return Brainstorm this weekend. I picked up TR Blurr pretty early on and was very impressed with the figure. I wasn't expecting much from Brainstorm being a redeco and all, but wowzers :shock:

what a figure!

If you have Blurr or the SDCC exclusive Brainstorm then you know exactly what to expect from transformation and poseablity, but what you don't expect is the exquisite deco. Brainstorm has a premium deco that truly feels like an exclusive figure. The first thing you will probably notice is the slick use of some spot on G1 tampos. The thing you wont notice in package is the paint apps, because of just how good they are. The nose cone, forearms, half of the upper arms and the bottom torso are painted to an almost perfect color match of the molded plastics.

As you know this mold poses well, but Brainstorm really shines in flying poses.

Brainstorm's Titan Master Teslor got a small slap of paint, which is more than a few of the standard releases.

The remolding (and wings) really sets Brainstorm's alt mode apart from Blurr's. Alt mode is where you can see even more of those lovely tampos and just how well the paint matches the plastic.

The entire look and feel of Brainstorm is that of a premium figure. Spot on satin paint apps and great tampos. The transformation is smoother than that of Blurr's. This is one figure you may want to track down even if you already have Blurr and/or the SDCC Brainstorm.
