Swallow dat pride, plastic is eternal ;)^

I don't know what it is with Nintendo and limited stock? I understand creating demand to sell stuff but they just seem to want to create demand. I see a repeat on the SNES classic. Ninty, don't you know...

Ugh.... I would get that MP-8 still... but now other things have popped up.

Speaking of things!

Oh yeah, BLUDGEON! Great scores, Shaj.

Hope I can do some huntin' tomorrow....

Work has been bananas the past couple weeks. Then the Chester thing. Just heartbreaking, his music was a huge part of my life. Feels silly for me to talk about toys at the moment...

I hear ya, Shaj.

I loved Linkin Park, too, and Chester had THE Voice -- a true talent that went too early and will be missed.

His voice was incredible. Simultaneous greatest screamer and soft singer ever. But hey, he'll leave an amazing legacy and hopefully it'll open people's eyes and some good can come out of it.

Heavy stuff aside, I had a really slow mail week, but this arrived on Friday!

I already have the Commemorative PM Prime, but Godbombers missile is one of those resculpted oversized "don't choke on this" things they did. And obviously I couldn't have that sitting next to Fire Guts and Nucleon :lol:

How are your feels for G1? If they're strong I suggest you hunt one down

My G1 feels are very strong, Shaj! I think with PM Op, he originally came out at a time when I had really stopped collecting; I thought having humanoid as a Power/Head/Target/Micro Master was silly & unnecessary.

But look at me now! I got a horde of Pretenders, Titan Masters, and our bots just bring me joy. I will hunt down a PM Op, eventually....or Star Convoy.

Shaj, what are your feelings on the SDCC reveals? I'm not excited, but I'm not disappointed either. I do love me some beach hippie though.

Well, I got the super excites for:
Leader Rod- Basically looks like the toy I've wanted since I was 4.
Leader Primal- Pardon me?? Yes please!
Abominus- We're almost done.... :DANCE:

Dreadwing and whatshisface- shame they're Deluxe, but YUM!

Only not excite, Starscream. Like, wut?

I asked that question before I saw the leak bomb that was dropped this morning.

I've been wanting new versions of the Dinobots for quite some time, but I do NOT want them compromised for the sake of the combiner gimmick. Same with Jazz. Bah

I really like the idea of Rodimus as well. I hope he looks good in hand. I can forgive a clunky back (on a mainline toy

) if the figure works well and is fun.

Starscream, I do not care for. Just too goofy bulky, and way to "slightly compacted robot under jet wings" alt mode. I am very curious to see better pics of the female autobots, but I smell repaint city there.

Pretenders, well, I was never big into them, so no real feelings there. If they are as cheap as the titan masters, I'll probably impulse buy them all. :-D

I will most likely buy all dem Prime Masters too, since I recently fell in love with those Decepticon Pretenders....and I really want an army of Matrix-heads. I know that's not the original intention or mode of play behind the Prime Masters, but those faces would look WICKED.

Hmm..I wasn't asked but I'll chime in.

The answer for me to the question (that I wasn't asked) "what do I think of the reveals" is that I need to sell off MPs to make room for all the new CHUG I'm getting!

Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sold off most of my chug and G1 to make room for Masterpiece.

It's really crazy. There's a few I'd like to keep (mainly the Autobot MPs) but I feel like I just need Megatron, Soundwave, Starscream, Shockwave on the Decepticon side. Acid Storm, Sunstorm, Thundercracker, Skywarp..even the cassettes seem unnecessary. Well, maybe Rumble (who is blue), Laserbeak, and Ravage can stay..

I'd actually part ways with MP G2 Bumblebee, both MP Bluestreaks I have (the blue one is KO), and Road Rage. Maybe even the extra KO MP Bumblebee I have too.

I was looking at my G1s, and I said to myself that I didn't need "MP/collectible" versions of figures. They were main line, so why wouldn't I buy the modern main line version of the character? That's me though. As my G1 figures are never going anywhere :lol:
