Kup made the trek back in to the office today. Uphill. In the snow.

Gnaw chased him around when he got here though.

Brought the figure (or at least one of the figures) to the office that STARTED me down the "collector" path.

20th Anniversary Masterpiece Optimus Prime. He's so dang amazing. He really started it all for me back in 2004. And maybe I forgot, but the dude has two knee joints to give AMAZING knee articulation!! I really do love the figure, even though he isn't the most stable due to all of that weight. Dreamwave comics, 20thAE Optimus, and then 14 years later I have what I have and have had. Amazing. So many things from so little.

MP-1 is still a great figure. In fact my only gripe was the instability due to weight. Everything else is fantastic. I still need the 1B and 1S, and have been drooling over them for years. I actually came real close to getting B about 6 months ago, I was pretty bummed when it fell through.

He is pretty dang awesome. Once you get him where you want him, he is pretty stable. Just the real hyper dynamic poses I can get out of MP10 aren't achievable with him. I guess my only complaint with my 20AE version is the lace of smokestacks :lol:

Oh man. That MP1S is beaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaautiful. Why didn't they do an MP10S?! Jerks!! They better do it on the next one..!!!!

I tried finding a good pose for his double-knee joints. I couldn't figure one out without being super clicky loud. I'll come back to it later maybe :lol:

So what's been happening on my desk this week?

These geetoo'ers.

And this geewun'er.

Almost brought this guy today, maybe tomorrow. For lightpiping reasons.

I also need to insert those MegaMoonMan pieces for Skyfire.

I've been contemplating parting ways with more stuff (meaning adding more to the sale thread, and moving some things to eBay). Some of the figures aren't what I want them to be. That includes some TR stuff I didn't think I was going to get rid of. Strange times we live in..I just want my figures to do the things. Is that so hard to understand?! :-(

I guess what it comes down to, is I want that version of the character to be THE version of the character for me. Lots of bots aren't doing that..

I hear ya. I got those same feels for POTM Dino's. They just.. I just don't care :lol:

What kind of sucks is I feel like I'm going that way with a lot of figures!! I'm sure it's just going through phases, but if I was to part ways with the majority of my "mainline" stuff and not look back I'd probably be happier. It's more than likely going to happen. There's a few figures from the mainline that will definitely be safe but there's some that also need to transform and roll out.

Here's two of my favorites in the office today.

So, I updated my sales thread with stuff I didn't think I'd sell!! I may have to start moving things to eBay though. The faster it is out of my house, the faster I can pick up a few more bots!! Like one of the KOs of MP36. Maybe MP Clampdown and MP Artfire. Or MPM Bumblebee (or one of his KOs). Or maybe some Decepticons I'm missing.

WHO KNOWS!!

What I do know, is these three bots are here today. They'll be joined by three more bots tomorrow, and I bet only a few can guess who! Three more..who could it be?!

I suppose you should see the first three I'm talking about.

Anyone else have interesting paint on Weirdwolf's feets? Also, anyone else have THIS happen to their Weirdwolf?!

Flippin' canopy hinge broke!!! ON BOTH SIDES!! What?! The red part is flexy so it doesn't fully peel off, but what?!

That hinge breaking is basically universal.

You...really shouldn't have? Again, it's universal. It will break again.

Boooooooo-urns. And how can I not transform all the things all the time?! It's what I do on a weekly basis!! Everything in the bin and a few things on the shelf must be transformed!! :lol:

Man, I'd die of malnutrition if I tried to transform all the things in my room every week. :lol:

Not all the things on display, that would take forever. I definitely get through the under 100 in the bin. It's relatively quick! They are all leader and smaller, with probably under 10 leader class figures.
