The idea of News about sightings, is discovering TFs which have just been released and not available yet on all stores, when they reach a new country etc.

We don't really care if your Wallmart has Rid strongarm released last year.

I was just about to reply with "this isn't a sightings thread, it's a...." ..... because what is this thread??? Can we rename it "Inane Banter" so he's at least on topic?

I neglected to mention they have a couple Autobot Sqweeks that dance if you connect them to an MP3 player. Even though they're not put out by Hasbro, there are also some Action Force Convertors that transform; and if I could've seen a number to call on the package, I would've tried to take it down. If that's the name of the robot itself, then I guess if Hasbro reissues a Transformer that has the same name of one of those small combiner Transformers that they put out, I suppose they'll go with a slightly different name.

Brainstorm is very much official, as he crossed himself in one episode of The Headmasters. Optimus Prime and Soundwave are parodies, the latter from Family Guy in which he ejected a framed photo of his wife he met in a Christian chat room. Optimus Prime is Jewish, but I don't remember from where.

Optimus as Jewish is also from Family Guy, the episode where Peter and Chris try to convert in Vegas or some such.

See? This is why I can't play. It's all about religion. It'll get offensive pretty fast

What's with all the trolls lately?

Just sit back and enjoy the act that is Jason5million.

I really think he's wasting his time here. Clearly with all the stories he spins up he should be off writing a novel or something instead of trolling us with his man-child act.

Yeah, I don't bother opening though. I have better things to do. Like farting.

See, here I thought you were making reference to the number of times Prime has died and come back to life. I thought I'd caught that one but I guess it went over my head too

The cross-shaped Soundwave and Messiah Prime went over *my* head, way over. Of course, me not being Christian doesn't help 8-}

Here are a couple Deluxe class Transformers that I found at Cliff's Books in DeLand, Florida. In addition to that, there are Lockdown, Protoform Optimus Prime, two Strafes, Highbrow, Nemesis Prime, and Bumblebee.

We have a sightings section...

Wed Aug 30, 2017 6:14 pm

Okay then I'll start posting sightings there. I found an old Topspin at that comic book store, but it's hard to say if it's a G1 Topspin or not, and I decided to buy him. There's no Reveal the Shield sticker on him, and I know Hasbro was putting them on back then, and there's something on the back that says Takara, but I don't know what that means. He's copyrighted for 1984, so he could be a G1 Topspin; but someone must've gone through a lot of work to remove that sticker from him. Of course if someone wants to buy him from me, then I'd ask how much you got? The thing about those old jump starters is that if they get too loose, they can be a pain to transform into vehicles after a while.

No, it's not hard at all, you're just lazy.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, because removing stickers is REALLY hard

I'll give you 50 cents.

uh huh ... can't identify a G1 transformer, but you know about the issues they have.

You really should drop this act It's old, pathetic, and it's really turning people off from engaging with you.

It's Thursday. I tend to get cranky on Thursdays. Not sure why. :-P

Wed Aug 30, 2017 8:08 pm

First off, I'm not acting because this is the way I am; and I didn't have any trouble identifying the name; but when I'm on the run with trying to catch a bus, I don't have time to do a Google search or whatever to see if they issued any that are 33 years old without RVT stickers or not. Now as for the 50 cents you offered, if you don't mind paying way too much for shipping plus what you offered, you can have him. I'll talk about two other small Transformers that he's got that I would never buy for the price that he's wanting on the sightings section.

But you had time to make your previous post? :???:

$10 shipping to Cobotrons house. He's my US Plastic Pimp. 8-)

Here's a picture of him; but the question was how much you got, not how much you're willing to pay. Seriously, unless you want to pay me a few dollars more than what Target wants for that boxed set, I don't want to sell him because he's the only G1 Transformer I have. Can someone give me a link to that website that ExiKaiser gave me so I don't have to go all the way back to page 11 to find it?

I also included a picture of the RID Strongarm that I got. I couldn't figure out how to get the front grill right, so I looked at YouTube to find out. It was a pretty educational video because it showed what people were talking about when they used the word Kibble.

News Credits: 293 · Thu Aug 31, 2017 1:09 pm

You know exactly what page it's on, it takes 2 clicks to get there, but you'd rather someone re-link it?

Do you just not get enough attention at home? Get a dog. Walk him 2 times daily, or however long it takes to satiate the craving to troll.

hmmm....no idea :-?

Thu Aug 31, 2017 4:05 pm

Apparently Burn lives in a different time zone because it was Wednesday when he made the post about being cranky Thursday. Now it took me a bit; but I did figure out how to get to a certain page; and it didn't work because I got a message on my phone saying it was lost or something, so please quit saying I'm trolling at the drop of a hat. Maybe it's because my phone is down to 73% or something. I don't know.

Now I am in the process of earning news credits by reporting toy sightings at stores; and if I make my go to be on the news staff, I'm not gonna stop and will continue to report toy sightings.

That's not how sales work. It doesn't matter how much the buyer has, if he doesn't want to pay that amount, there will ve no deal.

I dropped my hat once. Wind rolled it down the street. I only got it an hour before.
