Dang... he's up almost 30 bucks CAD from when I bought mine!

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only time that's happened is with Soundwave and the Van's right?

Yeah, it was FANSTOYS Soundwave and the two companies making Ironhide/Ratchet? And FANSTOYS Hoodlum (Hot Rod). And FANSTOYS re-issue of Quakewave and Cloud 9s' Quakeblast. And KFC with Citizen Stack..

So a few more times than I originally thought.

Let's hope everyone starts making their own Jazz.

I hope that one does come out. There was a lot of radio silence from them I think. I just want to see how he fits in with Spinout

Well, y'all know my thoughts on the likelihood of an official Sunstreaker. But If an official Jazz wasn't released, I would be awfully surprised. I don't think there's any licensing hurdles they'd have to endure.

Unfortunately, I think licensing hurdles is exactly whats keeping Jazz and Mirage at bay. Booze and tobacco man, gotta love 'em, but in this case, gotta hate 'em.

I think I recall Porsche refusing to grant license for binaltech figures.

They did, which is how we ended up with Mazda Meister and Suzuki Bumblebee in the Alternity line. Wooooooooooooooooooooooo

Then the live action movies came out and all auto companies cried that they missed out on the glut of GM advertisements

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut..

Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Audi, VW are all the same parent company right? Or did they change hands again over the last decade..

EDIT: Yup, they are Volkswagen Group

I got a doozy today. First up, Armada RED Thrust! I wanted this guy for a looooong time. It's funny, for all the hate I have for Armada, I actually have a lot of love for handful of figures from the line.



Remember when I asked y'all what to do with my money? Here's what I did
E-Hobby Roadrage and Crosscut. Another pair I've been wanting for a looooooooooooooong time

Aside from his dong flap Armada thrust is one of the better ones.
He said dong flap.

Those Encores are SWEET!
Glad we could help.

Dong flap? It's clearly a butt flap

Shaki, have you played any attention to Maketoys Gundog? I really like that figure, but Keep seems like it be an easy license for Takara to grab. An MP Hound should be coming soon, you would think.


And yeah, it's a dong flap.

Flap or fap? And if the latter can I bank it?

You know Ironhidensh, after seeing the latest pictures of FANS TOYS not-Hound I think I'm more impressed with theirs! I just need to see his altmode with the other carbots, I don't want him to be too big like MakeToys is (who looks AMAZING btw).

Also, you didn't ask me, but I wanted to weigh in my thoughts tooooooooooo

carytheone wrote:Flap or fap? And if the latter can I bank it?

Well I'll be! I guess I have my Thrust transformed wrong.
Looks like it is indeed a butt FLAP.

I'll tell you this much though, I would not be the guy to tell a dude with chain guns for hands how or where to wear his FLAP.

Your thoughts are welcome. I looked real hard at the Fans toys figure, but I just like Gundog better. Though, a size comparative could indeed sway that opinion.

Yeah, he looks pretty sweet. But he's one of those guys I'm not worried about. TT will get to him in time.

Here's some shots of the gun handed butt flap king!





I made two stops today: TRU and the mailbox





Ty looks good with the ladies eh?

Shajaki, bro, you failed to tell how awesome Surgio is. Holy **** **** I love this figure! Spinout who? All doubts are removed, 100% satisfaction has been achieved. Hell, I've still got wood.

Iron, watch out where you point that thing. Might have a "Son Surge".
And from what I gather the two little iron ingots are already a handful.

Funny, that Tyrael figure caught my eye on BBTS today. Just looked like a cool fantasy figure. What are those guys? Video game dudes?

And, let us know how The Rod makes you feel.

Didn't I

I'm just worried about managing peoples expectations is all. I guarantee I was(is) as floored as you are

They're from Blizzard's long running Diablo series. A franchise I've been loyal to since the beginning

I'll have to get back to you on that...
