I do not have the necessary equipment.
I don't watch reviews so I don't know what to do.
But most importantly. I just don't want to.

It would be more fun if you reviewed StuartMaximus' posts. Personally, I'd give them a 4/10.

On a serious note, did anyone else notice that Starscream's fingers were shipped spun around backwards?

Wow. No. Good eye there. It totally explains why the fingers wouldn't bend properly when I was forming a fist. This should be front page news.

I noticed it took force to bend them, they clicked a bit and popped out of joint.

I spun the around and G2G. Also the tips of the fingers make more sense this way.

EDIT: Here is a better pic. The fingers are clearly designed to bend this way.

I'm fed up telling people this....so here goes for one last time!

ALL VIDEO REVIEWS ARE SUBJECTIVE! meaning that just because YOU don't like it & gave it a low score.......doesn't mean other people share the same sentiment! some may like it.....others don't

for example.....If you were to check my list of video reviews on YouTube.....there are a lot on there with a very low view count.....while there are a few with a very high count! one of my Thunderbirds toys reviews has 9k views & upwards! now granted you may have x amount of k views for most or every one of your videos....& that's fine! but I'm not setting out to always achieve a high k views score! coz.....like I said before.....All video reviews are subjective....& not everyone is gonna like them......but it's not gonna stop me from doing them......when the need takes me

Just got big convoy and generations Rhinox. My Rhinox has the loosest joints I've ever encountered. Is there a way to tighten the knee joints any? I can get the hip joints but the knee joints are too weak for him to stand.

I've heard this is the good stuff and not potentially dangerous like super glue or nail polish.

I've yet to pick any up because I always forget. But from what I understand is a few tiny drops in the joint, wiggle it around and then let it dry over night.

May wanna research that first on the forums.

I've got a couple loosely goosey guys that could use tightening up.

Edit: Did a lookup and saw that his knee joints aren't ball joints. I think that's what the floor polish is used for. Sorry if this was bad advice.

Gotta love yard sales!

One of my wife's aunts (would be she considered an "aunt-in-law"? :???:

) was holding a yard sale over the weekend, so my wife took the opportunity to have her sell off some of her old shoes. Me? I was browsing a bit until I saw a big tub full of Happy Meal toys, and once I saw a Transformer one I dove right in. The result:

The whole Transformers: Prime promotion of 2013:

1 Optimus Prime
2 Bumblebee
3 Megatron
4 Starscream
5 Bulkhead
6 Breakdown

And the one that kickstarted it:

From the Robots in Disguise promotion

8 Clampdown

For only 50 cents a pop. :DANCE:

The son works at a McDonald's so... I got a hookup.

Itscramtastic was doing a little house cleaning, so I helped him sweep up.
Thanks Cram!

All I need is a Gen deluxe Dirge, and I think I'm done with my Classics collection. Also, all I need is GDO Legion Bluestreak and that's it for my Streak collection.

and Cary - Good eye on those Starscream fingers. Did you actually pop them out and flip them, or just rotate them at the ball joint at the first knuckle?

And did you hear about the transformer who shall not be named who feeds on Unicron blood?
