I kinda have a haul. I say kinda cause the G2asor and BC Prime are fodder for a grander scheme. And Prowl is for my buddy



Also, my Steelbook collection grows with this gigantic pain in the ass, Deadpool. In the flyer, I glossed over the fact that this was (the first I've ever seen anyways) an online only exclusive Steelbook. So, standing in the store looking at a bare shelf the day of release sucked . Double the price and two weeks later, eBay delivers.

Hey! I used to read deadpool and liked it. I haven't seen the movie. Not a huge Ryan whats-his-face fan, but is this movie worth buying on DVD, or should I wait for some kind of streaming thingy?

Speaking of one trick ponies! But I have to say, Pool is probably the role he was born to play. It's at least a fun watch. Ask a friend to borrow it

No more than the rest of us.

I'd wait. Its a fun, if not self indulgent, teen boys whet dream of a movie. It does exactly what it set out to do, but I felt it was under-realized.

Wait for Netflix or nab it for a couple bucks from Redbox. Put the kiddies to bed and crack a couple beers and enjoy some gratuitous violence (and sex scene) that is rarely seen splashed on the silver screen these days.

I'm a Reynolds fan, and yes, he was born to play Deadpool!

But you guys are my only friends. Jak, can I borrow your Deadpool DVD?

Cary, from your review, it sounds kinda like a movie I would like to own.
Ryan Canadioid was definitely the right cast fore the part. I even thought so in the Wolvarine movie.
Redbox it is!

And I hope all youz guys read my rant with some tongue and cheek.

Reynolds! It's Reynolds! Just remembered.

Deadpool, totally worth a rental. We watched it at the Movie Tavern, but if you know me any at all, you know they had me at "tavern".

It was too self indulgent for my taste. Yeah, I get the joke, move on. Oh we arent moving on? Oh well, ok. I streamed it and was ok with my decision. By the way, Ryan Reynolds is also Canadian (thats one more to add to the pile).

And about your comments on Primal: Thank you! It makes sense now. I know you arent the bigest fan of retools so when I saw you getting G2 Menasor and then being excited for this new Loud Mouth and yet not caring for Primal, I knew it couldnt just be about money and saving for other things. And now I know. As for me, I never really cared if he was show accurate or not, I just like new takes on transformation and I like how engineering is pushed to the limit and if its to be more cartoon accurate then they could be my guest. And I find that fur texture to be a really cool touch. But I like all toys, so as you saw I got myself the best version of that Ultra mold as well to experience that toy fully once and for all (I never had all the accessories).

Anyways, I get it now and I thank you for your comments. There is nothing wrong with your thinking, we all have our own ways of thinking that make our collection ours and ours alone. I have my own faults. I am the firs to say no to something but then eventually I get it becauseI just cant resist a deal. Like I am missing out if I dont get it. How can I save money if I dont buy the deal right? There's my flawed logic for you.

Oh and speaking of the ultra Primal. Since I am getting a new one, I am gonan now go dig in my bins and find my old one to give to my baby.

I know that feeling all too well

I talk a lot about how I have plans to buy this and that, but my hauls are usually something completely random. I swear, those random hauls were all great deals!!

I may have become a little too comfortable with repaints lately. It's a new thing for me. But man, I can't stop playing with G2asor. The paint jobs are just so toy like. I like him better than OG Menasor.

And ya! Don't make ask you about Ironhide and Hot Rod.

I dont doubt hes better, I am sure he is. Hes at 99$ cdn right now and I am not sure if I should bite, especially when skyreign and bruticus cost me literall 60$ a piece. In comparison, 99$ is no small amount. I will buy it at 75$ though, no doubt. Not sure if I will get Superion too.

And yeah, good thing I took that deal for MP Ironhode and Hotrod (once again, I would be a madman if I didnt), Ironhide is gonna be my favourite MP this year, I am sure of it.

Oh and I didnt answer your previous question, of course we are still friends I actually brought this discussion here because we were amongst friends and we all knew where we were coming from, and we were discussing MPs, so hat the heck.

PS: Damn, I missed a joke about cobo having drunk the neo cool aid when it comes to redecos.

This. Sort of. Cram once asked what my holy grail would be. It would be an entire collection of MISB Diaclone toys.

Woo hoo I'm the best!!!!!!!!!!

YOU DON'T LOVE THE TRIPLE R?! HOW COBRO?! He's great! Canadian, married to Blake Lively, has a daughter with another baby on the way! My favorite mostly Christmas movie? Just Friends. Effing hilarious (also Christmas Vacation is the best end to end all encompassing Christmas movie). Van Wilder?! Blade Trinity?! Waiting?! 75% of Wolverine: Origins?! Even that one with Isla Fisher where he's got a daughter..and sure why not Green Lantern. I have Deadpool, and yeah Shaj and Cary he was BORN to be Deadpool.

BUT. I expected it to be exactly as it was. Which is great, but when I had ZERO expectations for Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant Man and to end up with what they were, I like them better

Cobotron wrote:For me an MP Primal would be an absolutely flawless life like gorilla mode. I would even love to see that SHIZZLESNIT done with real fur. If it was done right, it could be amazing (and it would cost a fortune). Can you imagine the robot mode with fur hanging off of it?

Holy cats that would be AMAZEBALLS

Also Shaj, it looks like your grand scheme is moving along nicely!!

I agree, Blade 2 is great, but he's not in it

Blade 2 was mentioned in Deadpool

New pic of GigaPower's Slag..I'll just leave this here..


For a size comparison of GigaPower's Snarl/Reximus Prime/MP10..

And that's why I'm going GigaPower..if I go Dinobots..

Nice not-Slag. Pretty dope looking.

Will, as for Ironhide and Hotrod. I would never fault you for jumping on a great deal. In fact I have learned much from your economic teachings. I was more referring to the hate you gave each, than after finding said good deal, how drastically you changed your tune.
Anyway, good talk, and I sincerely hope all who get MP Primal enjoy him. I would never let my distaste for a thing ruin the party.

As for Ryan ReyRey, I like him 10 clicks more than Dane Cook, and I find more enjoyment in changing a poopy diaper than watching Dane Cook.

As for Blade, I loved the first movie so much, I wore out the VHS. Never saw the others but I should.
what ever happened to Wesley anyway?

He went to jail for tax evasion. You didnt know?

Anyways, as for HotRod and Ironhide, my opinion didnt really change. I still think the same way for Hotrod, but about different things. Unlike Shajaki, I dont think this is my favourite MP (that still goes to Wheeljack). And while I like Ironhide, I still wouldnt have bought him without the discount I got. I never hated that toy, I just didnt care. I feel I overpaid for Shockwave too. These MPs are very very pricey to me and I dont get more enjoyment out of them compared to other toys I paid less for (like those RID Decepticons).

Oh and Cobotron, if your goal is to have diaclone homages, here is the one for perceptor:

I fixed it for you or maybe I just really like that movie and he is in it. I had to go to imdb because I could only think of one movie he is in off the top of my head - The Nines (liked it). Let's see what else he was in I liked: Smokin' Aces (great flick if you've never seen it); hmmm... Deadpool - wow I don't watch a lot of movies do I?

I'll mention the Amityville Horror remake, only because I felt they took the chicken **** ending route and I'll leave it at that.

Let's see what else has been going on here.

Tax evasion - isn't that what they normally get drug dealers for?

Diaclone, I like to watch you guys like them!

Dane Cook, yeah I no likey him, but he was in Waiting. Let's see, lump that hack in with the puppet guy; ah yes, Jeff Dunham - blah, can't stand his shtick. Also Michael Buble for no reason at all. And there's my internet freak out!

Them 3P Dinobots gives me the bad case of the wants. I also like them Dynobots by Iron Factory. Hey, Iron Factory on another thread - woot!

Thanks for fixing it and Smokin' Aces WAS good!
