So many awesome molds! personally for me though, I can still skip the Arms Microns. The use of stickers really throws me off.

I guess I was thinking the colors were more accurate ('cause you know, Takara) so maybe I could skip the AM too. I have voyager BH Shockwave, Megatron, Starscream, Optimus, Ultra Magnus, BH Optimus, and only deluxe Bumblebee. I had deluxe Soundwave that I never opened and that went somewhere...

The Prime line has a lot of neat figures and molds, and you know I'm a big fan of that line. I don't know, maybe Cobo has a point....

Nah - BUY BUY BUY, all of the things

Oh yes, to this guy, with the BUY BUY BUY!! And the ports for the weapons would get old I'm sure.

Purchased at Dollar General. Methinks the "secret rare" Foot Bot is A20125MM. For those keeping score at home:
A14125MM - Donnie
A15125MM - Leo
A16125MM - Raph
A17125MM - Mikey
A18125MM - Shredder
A19125MM - Kraang Droid
A21125MM - Foot Soldier

Again, this is at Dollar General. I purchased three A16's at first thinking they were the Foot Bot (didn't even TRY to feel what was in the blind pack, just went by numbers). After double checking my list of potential "codes", it seems other stores have "105MM" or "095MM" following their number designations. Basically, if you can find a new box see if there are 8 different numbers. Out of those 8 you'll be able to feel which ones are turtles (trust me). THEN! The turtles should be 4 in a row, leaving Shredder and the Feets and Kraang to fill out the rest.

Hopefully.

The Foot Soldier and Kraang feel similar, the difference being the extremely squishy Kraang brain.

IT'S THE BEST! I've been a season subscriber to it on Amazon since it launched (on Amazon as a season subscription thing). So digitally, I own all the things. I also read the comic boos. Splinter and Shredder are SERIOUS in this series. Seriously bad mamajammas. They kick and punch like they are punch/kick dancing.

Wait, which TMNT is this?

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 5:38 pm

The 2012 start date Nickelodeon series. It's my other favorite thing. I mean, I BOUGHT the series as it happened!!

So over the weekend I felt like searching for my old Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis. Found them both, but I feel like things were missing..

Here's the games organized better. Duplicates of Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, and The Legend of Zelda(the second one is out of the picture). What IS missing altogether is TMNT 2: The Arcade Game and TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project. Two games I KNOW I have but couldn't find!

Also, Intellivision! The Intellivision System 3 is not pictured, but the Atari System Changer and keyboard adapter are!

And here's the Genesis v1.0:

Pretty much all of the games I remember having are not there. All I found with it were Sonic the Hedgehog, Spider-Man/Venom: Separation Anxiety, and NBA '94. That's about 10 games shy of what should be there at minimum. Hooooo-boy..

So I finally went to my local TRU on Sunday and found the rest of the figures I was looking for from the Mega Bloks TMNT blind bag series 1! Which was just the "Secret Rare" Foot-Bot. So I bought two :lol:

I also got this guy from the Out of the Shadows series of non-blind bags!

It's "Stealth Leo". Translucent FTW!!

AND THEN! I sold Transformers Prime voyager Optimus Prime last night and noticed something Cary mentioned with Arcee, pupils in the eyes! So here's examples on voyager Optimus Prime, voyager Megatron, and deluxe Bumblebee.

Voyager Starscream and Ultra Magnus (first version) seem to have painted over eyes with light piping in their heads anyway. So I can't tell if they are the same or not!! Who does that?!

Here's a parting shot of my Transformer Prime Prime's. TFP is where it's at. Not pictured is Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime's card.

Looking into the upgrades for voyager Megatron and voyager Beast Hunter Optimus Prime..these dang 3rd Party sets I'm late to the party on!!!!!

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 2:46 pm

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I have the wants..

I'm also fairly peeved that the Transformers GO! Hunter Optimus looks so much better than my Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Optimus.

I sell one figure to Ironhidensh, now I want to replace it with two others :lol:

Not true. Please sit down now class, Professor Max is about to give you the low down (and I know this and teach this at schools so this is true):

All sodas have some sort of food coloring and dyes in them to give them that special color. Pepsi Crystal is simply the same pepsi but without the dyes, which in no way add any flavor to things, just color. The reason pepsi Crystal wasn't that popular is because people automatically assumed it tasted blander since it lacked the colors, which is wrong. The recipe is identical, only missing dye that does not add flavor. It is all psychological folks. Drown out that thought in your head and you realize it tastes exactly the same. Placebo effect style sort of.

there will be a quiz later.

Now Cram: I could not bear to sell any of my transformers, but I loved the prime era, though I bought pretty much all the characters in their BH version instead of RiD version, but the BH version were still boss, and their coolness had to come from somewhere, so nice stuff there! :MAXIMAL:

D, have you ever had Crystal Pepsi? If not then your argument is invalid.

It tasted bad and had bad commercials and Van Hagar is bad. I rest my case :-P

I have not had Crystal pepsi, but i did have the green, purple, yellow and red ketchups, and they were all cool and tasted the same :lol:

I've never had ketchup that was anything other than redish, but we stopped eating food stuff with HFCS in it years ago, so both are off the menu anyway

It's at times like this that I feel pity on poor Cram. He really does have some awesome Prime stuff and all we did was fall into a pit of conversation about food and drinks I shall now go the gym so I can get to eating dinner afterwards :lol:

D-Max and Cary, food convos are always welcome! Peace through sandwiches and such :lol:

Shaj and Cobo, Crystal Pepsi plastic crack!

Everyone, classic vidya games and Transformers Prime is where I'm at this week. I think I'm splurging on that First Edition. As my Father's Day gift to myself. Along with a Retron 5.

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Fri Jun 10, 2016 5:29 pm

So I ordered a Retron5 and 4 8bitdo SNES30 controllers today.

As well as NBA Jam Tournament Edition and Turtles in Time.

Yup.

Yes indeed Cary!

Also, picked it up again on the Wii (NBA Jam), and I'm also going through to see which games are on the Wiiware section.

I just want all the games.

But not an Xbox One or PS4.

ALSO!

Crystal Pepsi Prime? Under $100 shipped USD MISB? Thoughts? Cary and Cobo say yes :-D

News Credits: 15 · by **galvatron00** » Tue Jun 14, 2016 9:26 am

So maybe an Xbox One Slim in August. That thing is pretty nice.

Also, these arrived yesterday. The Retron5 should be here Thursday!

Also, I've been getting an itch for more figures of some variety lately (re: Legends), and you kids haven't been helping.

Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime and Megatron from Transformers Prime aren't helping either.
