As per usual. >:oP

Love the new additions to the collect-o-tron! Those scratch built shelves are excellent!
You have a knack for displaying your toys...love it.

Awe schucks D. Thanx.

-- The Deceps will be getting their own base!

CRAM!?!?! did you hear that?!?!? :lol:

Can't wait Donny. I hope you'll take us all along for the ride like last time.

Oh, you heard. :lol:

Jeepers Cramski, that is a loaded question. Ya! An assssssston! :lol:

All of the G1 Head Masters.
Energon - Mirage/Dreadwing, Omega Supreme in any paint job, Shockblast/Six Shot, Landmine/Landquake, and I'd really like to get my mits on a Tow line, or even better the Ratchet Club or Con repaint.
Cybertron - Megatron/Galvatron, Cybrtron Defense Hot Shot, The Starscream mold. I'd really like to have the Target two pack of those two as Roadbuster and Dirge.
Heck! I need a Classics/Gen Dirge. :shock:

There is an never ending expanse of Microman stuff I would love to have.

I'm sure I could go on and on. The thing is though, is I've never really been a back paddler, because I know there will always be something new coming to waste my dollars on. :lol:

Maybe, just maybe, I'm better off for it.

Well I don't think I'm parting with anything in that list. Which means I can't help the Collect-o-tron. And that is unfortunate. Maybe I'll get a spreadsheet together..

Itscram I totally love your enthusiasm! Althought Let's not say Nemesis, Let's say Water tower entrance LOL.. since I like yous guyz here's a sneak peak...of the initial plans the left hand side is a lil sketch of what the finished diorama will look like and the middle are the basic floor plans. This will be the bottom level but the top level will have the same layout.

Speaking of spreadsheets, I created a DB for my collection so I can document them and get some insurance on it...anyone else done this?

Even MORE Breaking News: Donny likes us!!

Also, my Nationwide agent suggests I document the collectibles, probably should do that (NOT covered under most policies).

Also, amazing stuff lad. AMAZING!

My hoard is not insured, although my mother-in-law brings it up, often. she is a major contributor to the C-O-T, so I should probably take her advice. :lol:

Crambles - Awful kind of you to even consider "helping" the C-O-T. You hold on to your bots. I'm sure we'll get by over here.

donny D, I love that schematic bro! do I spy a mechanism for a retractable draw bridge? This is going to be incredible. Thanks for sharing that over here at my house.

P.S. I love a good schematic.

Yeah if I want some type of coverage I will need to get some type of collectible coverage, and it'll have to be appraised. It's probably gonna be pain but want to able to replace some of my dudes if something were ever to happen...

Nationwide suggests pictures of items and then getting listings from eBay/Amazon etc. that'll help to determine the value? Collectibles vary, so they may take in to account what you paid, what it's valued at currently, etc.

No problem!! When I come up with a list I'll let you kids know, I just want my bots to have good homes.

Hey Cram, I wouldn't mind a quick peek at a for sale list once it's done, that if you don't mind.

Does anyone have a thread in the sale/trade forums?

I don't venture over there to keep myself out of trouble with Mrs.theone.

Not a problem! As of right now, 6 of you would get the list first.

GO TEAM COLLECT-O-TRON! :michaelbay:

Got a nice little haul this week.

Most notable, ToyWorld's Muddy (not Sludge)

From pictures he was my least favorite dino mode from this series, but once I could lay my own eyes on him he is actually pretty cool. His robot mode is killer! He is much more stable and pose-able than Roar. That being said, on esthetics, Roar is still the stand out of the two. I am really happy with these ToyWorld Dinobots.

BUUUUUUUT...
We have a problem.

The nubs on either side of the hinge on that arm panel are non-existent. There for it falls right off.
You know what the first thing I heard in my head was? Donny's voice praising BBTS's stellar customer service. (funny, 'cause Donny's voice sounds just like the font I am currently typing :lol:

) After a little e-mail back and forth with the lovely Jenni, they have agreed that this is a factory defect and will exchange this Muddy for a new one.

Problem Solved. Thanks Jenni.

Nice haul. The question I have is: you gonna mod that Rod?

Mod that rod...there is a tongue in cheek joke in there somewhere...

Excellent haul Cobz! Glad you are having fun with your 2 3p dinos. You were quite right about my voice though it sounds exactly like this font!

Glad BBTS's customer service is werkin for ya!

I'm not sure what the joke is, but I meant for it to sound dirty.

font

Huh?!? I feel a little...

Cary I can't see your image

So I don't know what you feel like...

Hey! what I do with my Rod is none of your ding dang business!

Actually I haven't decided what I'm gonna do. You may or may not know this about the ol' Cobotron, but I got some 3D skills yo. I might model a thing. I also have an idea for an attachment to give the combiners a ball jointed ankle. So far all the 3rd party kits aren't doing it for me because I like the feet that come with the guys.

Cary, I'm confused by you feeling like Drax too. Will it ruin the joke if you have to explain it?

3D skills? I'm very interested in that . Please explain. Like shapeways?

And the joke ruined? Nah; you guys were talking about fonts and Donny's voice and I didn't get it. Much like Drax, its over my head.

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Sat Aug 01, 2015 11:37 pm

I don't actually know what donny's voice sounds like. I only read his written word. but I imagine he speaks very cool and calmly. however I read all your posts in a thick loozana drawl.
