Fun for the whole family! But hold up... Silverstreak, BlueBlue, but I thought you had Prowl!

You raise a good point though. That Asia Hasbro Convoy ain't no thang. The ONLY difference was the Key an I got er separate.

What I do have to get that isn't on the Bingo card is this bugger:

Oh, and this guy isn't on the card either. But I gots him

This is a fun game, good call Jaki

I didn't know we could chest and add stuff that's in transit. Well ****, add Wheeljack to my list!

Yeah, I still don't get a cookie

Quick someone make a CW or RID card Actually this might make a good thread of its own. As Cobo said it's like the collector posters we had as kids. Change them up a bit and add check boxes. I'll contribute and make a few.

Don't forget Smokey! No Prowl for me. Maybe someday. Maybe a KO? Who knows. I have a different Prowl arriving today. Can't wait!

What kind of dino comes in that box? Is he an Asian toy show exclusive of some kind?

It be a Grimlock!

And speaking of Dinobots, here's a Dinobot in a baggie!





I'm told this is a "Production Sample" and that the seller is legitimate (by Seibs himself). So in a sense, it's a prototype. Since I have an actual prototype it's not all that exciting, but hey, it's another piece for the Shrine! (and I didn't pay much for it)

Yeah, I had an ok day

Ya, I'd say so.

Stupid work. Not lettin me play with my new tapes

Those colors are GREAT!
Soundwave looks so cool!

I love me some Shattered Glass

That's one helluva playlist you got there!

Papa brought home the bacon!



So, does anyone remember when Menasor was first in hand and they looked like they were all shiny and premium painted? Proper in hand he's nice, but not premo shiny. Brutes? IS. The purple camo is premo shiny across the board, but is hard to catch on camera. But see if you can tell on the chest plate, its so pretty. He is hands down my favorite G2biner, and Hasbro release period

NOICE!

Does all the plastic have that metallic fleck/shimmer thing? Looks like Onslaught's yellow does.

That's some tasty bacon!

That is an awesome combiner right there

And yeah, the yellow is kinda sparkly/flecky, and maybe Vortex's blue too. I seriously can't wait to get a new set of hands and feet though. Stock is black, but I think I'ma go purple.

Also (bummer) Onslaughts knees have the Pyra problem.

Hot damn that G2 Bruticus is where it's at!! I really don't know why Has/Tak didn't make a G2 Devastator considering they did the G2 Aerialbots/Stunticons/Combaticons. Swing and a miss.

It's getting difficult to resist these G2 Combiner Wars sets..I actually think I like them better than the Unite Warriors releases. I'm not really attached to any of the characters so I may as well have the coolest colors of them available

I'm kinda right there with ya on that for a few of them. I wanted to trade in my G1 flavored Mensies for the cross colours G2 variant, but I'm really happy with my bell bottom wearing OG1 badass now.


Fun game time: hopefully

You can only build one of each combiner, but you can cherry pick any limb/torso/accessory bot from any CW or UW set to do so. Who would make up your teams?

GO!

I'll go first:

Menasor:

UW Motormaster
G2 Dragstrip
CW Breakdown
CW Dead End
CW Wild Rider
CW Blackjack

Superion:

Probably just the entire UW set
G2 Powerglide

Defensor:

I'm happy with most of the CW set
Add CW big Groove
Aw hell, this is fantasy - toss UW First Aid in there too!
I'm having a helluva time finding the G2 pics?!?

Bruticus:

UW Onslaught
CW limb bots, except add UW Vortex and maybe Brawl for giggles
No likey Fruticus

ComPrimer:

Eh, the UW set seems nicer...

Sky Reign:

UW all the way and add CW Smokey as a side kick pinch hitter

Ponder this, I will.

I hear ya. If Fruiticus had a proper Blastoff, I would have bought him already.

You're right! They should've taken advantage of that mold. Fruity Pebble Blast-Off as a Fruity Pebble Spaceship.

I'm confident we'll get him eventually. And a G2 Defensor.

Then do eeet!!

Sorry, but my stringent adherence to accuracy won't allow me to participate

How do you feel about an upgrade kit? This is a new head for Blasty, maybe he'll do a G2 white?

Today! Post office and TRU

*Reposted from Haul Thread*
The only MMPR I ever watched was the original (what, 2 or 3 seasons?) with what I'd call the "G1" Zords. So they're the only ones I'm interested in. But on sale, I'd buy that bird and tiger.

I thought he would barely be different that the first one (being primarily black and gold already) but HOT DAMN. Well, see for yourself.

That Dragonzord is a damn near piece of art! Love it.

How's your Pedal. How awesome are those colors? How cool is it that making a dude black and purple, makes them seem so evil? How did I forget how knightly his OG head sculpt is? I like knights!

this is silly, but I'm really irked that my LP box is messed up. The image is all smudged and rubbed off. I know it's just a box, but for a special exclusive, it'd be nice if it were shiney and purrdy. Like your box.
