Chicago was my first concert lol

That escalator wasn't working I would never attempt that on a real escalator...

I wanted to take him into the city, but I'm not that brave to snap pictures of him walking Chicago by myself

I thought the same thing about the escalator! BOT-COMPACTER!

HA! There's WAAAAAAAAY more crazy ass people doing crazy ass things in Chicago then taking pics of toys. Trust me. No one would bat an eye. Plus! You're in the big time. LIVE IT UP!

I lived there for 12 years. It's nice to see that down town again.
Blow a kiss to the ol' beast for me, D.
Have fun!

Great pics!

Well, I was a bit more concerned with being beaten, stabbed, and/or shot. I got no concerns with walking around with a little bot!

Chicago says it misses its Cobotron. The robit population is still in tears

I've been trying to get together with the Big man himself. Still haven't managed to sync schedules yet, but we're trying! Rewind will let you know when we've found him!

This was one of my favorites. Took a bit to find a section that worked out well.

Sigma Magnus wrote:Hmph. How dare you.

Clearly we know who the favorite is

Thanks! I'll try to rally the courage to get some outdoor shots tonight actually

My patience paid off. 3 deluxes for $36. Perfect.



Also got this guy about a week ago, forgot to post:


finally, sandwich! cheeseburger with sausage, grilled onions, and grilled peppers!

In case anyone wanted to see what the co-captains looked like with their heads on wrong

Nice! I also finally found Wave 3 at Target just today(well yesterday by the time I'm done typing this). I thought I could go without getting any Wave 3 but I just couldn't resist Triggerhappy. I also got Stormshot and boy are they both lovely.

There's not many things I enjoy more than bargain hunting!

All of those look great. Especially that burger.

Anyone want to go to 5 guys?

I'm in! We could split a small bag of fries even.

Dehehehe

I am loving my new deluxes now. Lots of pictures of deluxes, some legion RiD cons, and some more Rewind in Chicago pics!














Dad?




Rewind wanted some Mexican



Just for fun, since I got it:

Rewind looks so zen in dat pic, D-Max!

Of those three deluxes, I really enjoyed TWINFERNO (despite minor flaws) and Triggerhappy -- this was also my first Hot Rod.

Triggerhappy is the most fun to transform and pose!

All of you, stop making me want Triggerhappy.

But also...

That's not an actual candle, is it?!


Breakybaby, hi there!

Rewind in chicago sounds like a Broadway Musical.

What do you think of the voltron llions.
might get the diecast version if it isnt too much more.

I dont remember you having that Breakdown, WWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW

How did you get it?

Great score on those guys D. And fun pics.
Glad to see Twinferno get some love. He has some flaws but still super fun.
I leave the guns on his back at all times too. I mean, who needs guns when you have dragons for hands?

Glad you found Springload. Best RID legion in a while.

Same here. But just checking, are the pegs for that kinda...weird, on any of your copies?

I agree Triggerhappy is the best to pose. I love angling his feet to help with posing. it works wonders! And Twinferno is absolutely bangin'!

You should know by now that is only incentive for us to post more pics and make you want him more right?

Nope, one of those little battery powered ones. Really convincing though

Va'al wrote:Breakybaby, hi there!

I told ya he'd make some pictures! Forgot Bulkhead when I brought my stuff back to school before going to Chicago, but the baby RiD guys make for some fun "DAD!" moments!

I agree. Rewind loved it there too. He is my partner!

Voltron lions are pretty sweet. Little bit clunky, but they are super fun, and I can't wait to find black. They are the perfect TF mounts! Diecast looks cool too, but I love that this version is making a 16" Voltron!

The news admin from Italy Shipped it on over after his trip to Japan in January. No regrets here, this guy is awesome! I can now say the best voyager of the Prime line, and I own almost all the molds. He is so BEEF! BEEFCAKE!!! seriously, lots of fun, and I am totally in debt to the good Doctor.

I'm glad we agree on the Twin of fernos!

And yes, Springload is my favorite legion, beating out Fixit I must say! I need to go back and find that top 10 legions list and add Springload to it. He is perfection. And they said the show model couldn't be made into a toy!

Odd. On mine, the tabs have two levels to them, so they have to be attached slanted...it's hard to explain. I'd take a picture, but I'm not home right now.

Nothing like that on mine. I did try the tabbing into the shoulders pose though, didn't like it. They work on his back.

Although, messing with this mold and looking at Thew's review of Grotusque, I must say I think they can retool Twinferno to make Grotusque. I really think they could it
