And damn, they sold out fast. I'm guessing there weren't many non-attending packages available to start...

Also, probably a bit gun shy after last year.

I'll take a super-fun Energon mold compatible with a G1 Headmaster all day long. I'm sure PE will make a nice Scorponok action figure that falls apart into twelve pieces that kind of constitute an alt mode once you're done finessing them together for 8 days.

Is that what PE figures are like? I don't own much in the way of 3rd party. I spend enough on Hasbro/takara figures. I'd hate to see my bank account if I bought things like Giant, the Menasor and other 3rd party figures that looked realy nice.

Nah PE is pretty awesome (but on the expensive side even for 3P). ScottyP is just not a fan of Warden (which is the figure he is refering to)
PE is also known for parts forming.

Relative small fry are usually not worth going after if

1) the possible damages are less than the costs of going to court
2) it can't be proven that overall sales have taken a significant hit since a certain 3rd party product went to market.
3) the design is different enough to be distinguishable from another official product i.e. they do not infringe on current patents.
4) they're not using any of Hasbro's trademarks or names.

That's all I'm gonna say, and that's all that should be said on the matter. >:oP

Eh, I prefer the Tidal Wave than the Kalis' Lament, despite it's lack of feasibility as a space-faring vessel.

• "Cannonball the 1st" was the Maraudicon leader who was a Decepticon Warlord back in the pre-war era.
• "Cannonball the 3rd" captained a voyage to the planet Toruin during which his crew nearly mutinied, wanting to escape to the paradise planet of Sperity (both of these planets were in The Headmasters anime).
• "Cannonball the 4th" had some sort of success in the Garyun Melee (whatever that was).

No way! I won't get to count myself as a drunk person in the convention space so you'll need to find another fedora as well
