Interesting role reversal.

Amazingly, my girlfriend didn't throw a fit the other day when I came home with 3 new Transformers. I think it helped that I bought her clothes.

He does laundry too while I do the housework and any repairs. I saw a Barrel Roll Blaster...I need to beg...

That sounds hot. The begging, not the housework.

I get stuck with the laundry often, but we usually share the chores. And at least she lets me have a full display of TFs out in full view, so I've got it pretty damn good.

I can't seem to find the 2008 Camaro version of BB on the Hasbro website. Out of stock? Not released yet?

heheh, it could be.

I do all housework which I don't mind--well I hate housework. I have no idea what he thinks of my collection as he often stops and looks at them.

Hmm, well I'd be suprised if there was a guy who didn't think Transformers were halfway cool. All my girlfriend's guy friends are pretty impressed with my collection.

Not quite out yet. Officially I don't think it was supposed to ship till August, but considering that's one of the worst ideas ever, I'd guess we'll see it closer to movie day.

And on topic...

My movie Wreckage and Robot Heroes are keeping my from losing my mind today. Database editing sucks.

...I just noticed that every movie toy I have so far begins with the letter B. By default I have to get Bumblebee next.

If you want to work around the problems with Brawl's shoulders and Barricade's stupid punching gimmick (and his balljoint feet), dab a little superglue on their joints. In Brawl's case it hasn't been 100% perfect, but at least they attempt to stay in place now.

Be careful, my own Bumblebee had a slight flaw in that the tab keeping the hood to the rest snapped off. Other than that small problem, all of my other figures have proved to be more than satisfactory.

I love the movie line, especially Ironhide. He fit into my collection so flawlessy, I was shocked. Whenever I try to use a Voyager sized toy that isn't a jet or army vehicle, it bugs me to no end. *cough*RedAlert!*cough* Yet Ironhide is amazingly compact for his size, actually looking just like a big hulking truck, instead of a black semi with a bed.

Anywho, I should stop now before I write a small book.

The more I see blackout the more I want him. Its driving me nuts...anyone want to send a femcon a million bucks?

Why do almost all of the Decepticons' names start with a "b?"

Barricade
Brawl
Bonecrusher
Blackout

perhaps a forshadowing to... Bruticus?

Let's split it.

Or find someone willing to give us both a million!

Essentially, I'm in the same boat. Far too many figures to buy, far too little money...

I noticed that too. It's like there was a clearance on B names.

They Contemplated using Benzy, Barscream and Beggertron.

I would be, but my wife squirreled away $200 for my b'day just so I could go buy movie toys. The only condition was I had to buy a Bumblebee.

She's awesome.

I'm going to find the rest of the B's (Bonecrusher, Blackout, Boundwave, & Bodimus) and then I'm done for awhile.

I got the barrel roll blaster. *giggles* Its really heavy. I thought it was left handed but it is right handed. Cool though. now Husband and bird are terrorised

Uhhh... so far I have a mini radio controlled movie Optimus Prime. He's very simple (simple RC, simple transformation), but no QC control issues here. And he's got a nice simple charm about him.

Alright, I could use some help here. I'm not too sure about the FAB lines of transformers. I was thinking about picking up FAB Ratchet and Ironhide, not for quality, I already have the voyager versions, but so that I don't have a hummer and a pickup the same size as my semi truck (RV prime). In robot mode, are they about six inches tall or so?

They are in the 6in scale. I have FAB Prime, Brawl, and Starscream so far, and I like them for what they are. The latter two lack elbow articulation, but are still nice for the most part.
