Grabbed these guys at Target:

I'd post my thoughts about them, but I'm lazy and I want to play Battlefront pretty tired, so I'll do it tomorrow.

Figured I'd post my thoughts on Broadside and Black Shadow:

First up is Broadside. Not too shabby, if I say so myself. Almost everything is changed from A3, and while he is still pretty square and bulky, he wears the mold better than A3. Carrier mode is nice, and the jet mode is ok if you use the fan mode, but it otherwise sucks. Overall, 7/10.

Next is Black Shadow. Oh boy, this guy is awesome. Great proportions, wicked ankle tilts, 2 of the 3 alt modes look great (base mode kinda sucks), and you can use his gun as an arm cannon. Oh, and also, his neck has a joint so his head can look up ever so slightly, which is something that no other Leader can do. 10/10, very much recommended.

Small update:

1. I built a flight stand for the Red Bionicle guy, so now he can ride his fire-surfboard thing:

2. If everything goes according to plan, I should be done with my main school on Wednesday (though I'll still have an extracurricular class and some projects to finish). In celebration, I plan to update the thread on Friday or Saturday. While I'll update the main TF display, this is going to be a Miscellaneous stuff-centric update, as I've added a bunch of new stuff and overhauled the Hero Factory team lineups. In the meantime, I'll show you all the new stuff that I've built/gotten for the miscellaneous display:

He's a joy to own, that's for sure.

Just grabbed Transformers Devastation for $14 on my PS4 (with PS Plus).

Just updated some of the thread images. I wasn't able to get all of them, as photobucket pooped out and half of my images disappeared.

I bet a joy to customize as well!

I hope I luck out and can get a mouthed version. That'd be neato.

I've seen some real nice custom versions of this guy, so I'd reckon you're not far off.

For some reason, I've never liked the mouthed versions. Back in 2014 when I got the regular retail Evasion Prime, I kinda regretted the purchase 'cause I wanted a faceplated one.

The more I see of that dang voyager Optimus, the more I can't wait to buy a custom of him for cheap :lol:

Voyager Optimus is definitely a beaut, even uncustomized. I'd try to do a customization myself, but I lack the skill level to do so, and I don't want to have pay money for someone else to do it.

I'm sure you have the skills, it's the patience or even time to do it! Apollyon's head turned out just fine, I used to paint model kits when I was younger and then actual vehicles when I worked at a body shop! It's always the time. Acrylic paint kits from Testors are relatively cheap, come with a few brushes and the main colors you'd need, and clean up easy! Maybe start on some wheels first? Errybody needs silver or gunmetal wheels :lol:

Discussing this has convinced me it is what I need to do.

TO THE INTERWEBS FOR HIGH RES SHOTS!!

Actually, I'm pretty sure I don't have the skills for it. I have a mental condition called dyspraxia, which, among other things, inhibits motor skills, so I can't write or paint very well at all.

That is definitely a good thing.

Speaking of video games, have any of you guys played Overwatch yet? My brother bought it yesterday, and it's actually really cool.
