Be sure to comment in his thread. There were a lot of great shows in the 60s, but have you ever noticed how many were related to space? What's up with that? Was there, like, some sort of space race to the moon or something going on at that time? Image

Be sure to comment in his thread. I'm not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but I'd like to wish Scaleface and his wife a belated Happy Birthday! I know X-Mas babies are often gypped out of more presents due to the proximity to X-mas. (My birthday is in the summer.) So, in honor of your birthdays, have some Java and Cookies!

Be sure to comment in his thread. I find it amazing what the creative teams out of Japan came up with way back in the infancy of TV. We may not even have Transformers without that wonderfully cheesy stuff! :APPLAUSE:

Hasbro UK has a Survey they put up that asks fans experiences and even asks questions about 3rd party toys like your favourite Companies, or which one's you've bought off.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Hasbro_Modern_Fan_2015

I hope this does not lead to someone getting a cease and desist order slapped on them.

Thanks! Scaleface has been keeping us pretty up to date in the PWTT thread, in case you want to join in the discussion. (Skip to the last couple of pages if you want to see info about the new Kickstarter. There's a lot of muck in the middle of the previous kickstarter...) :D

There is a lot of those part metal figures about lately there is for example a Metal overscale AOE Lockdown too (ideal for fighting Leader Prime). Three 17cm/7"Inch RID-15 Warrior class toys with part metal in them. not to mention part metal AOE Optimus Prime/ Nemesis Prime - even a version with Powermaster style upgrade armour in KO form.

I do like the look of those part metal overscale AOE Dinobots though.

And the really cool thing is that the Shinebug overscale KO has just been shown in Prototype form too so hopefully the others will follow hot on their heels.

So, I was on vacation and missed the next two Scaleface postings of the Retro Robot Radio podcast. These are still, in my opinion, the best summaries of recent 3P news.

Be sure to comment in his thread. I vaguely remember Automan. I wonder if the series is on YouTube... :-?

That Lockdown is too small for leader prime, he is made for the voyager (which makes sense since that was the alt mode Optimus had when they first fought).
