Pangea has basis in fact. Maybe he's thinking of one of the fictional contintents like Mu?

And the funny thing is, Mu has already made an appearance in Transformers!

Thrust is the only one with shooty missiles, yes. Whilst the original Takara reissues are expensive, the Platinum reissue set of all 3 from a couple of years back can be found cheaply enough. Same goes for the earlier Commemorative Series Dirge. Unfortunately Hasbro never reissued Ramjet in that li...

Truckin' Buddy McCoy - not on DVD, or a blu-ray, but videotape! A Betamax! Actually I know pretty much nothing about this movie beyond what's written on the back of the box. The reason I picked this up was pretty much entirely due to the cover art; they swiped the poster for Sam Peckinpah's Convoy ...

Encore Bruticus

Probably because of how bad Hasbro's Piranacon reissue had it, the Encore Bruticus doesn't seem so bad, apart from the aesthetical issues brought about by mold degradation. At least unlike the aforementioned Piranacon, he can actually stand straight.

Thanks.

I'm feeling lazy and I think the old photos are perfectly serviceable as is.

I forgot blu-ray.com had a thread about the release so if nothing else, they're probably gonna cram the whole season onto a single blu-ray disc in SD - which would be a definitive "yes" on the space-saving issue.

EDIT: and then I realize dalek already mentioned this in his post. Doh!

I was wondering when they'd start releasing the old show by season rather than story.

I wonder if it'll be a big ol' slipcase like Key to Time or if they're actually gonna use some kind of shelf-space-saving packaging this time.

Third Party Knock Off Galvatron: A smaller reworking of a larger 3P Galvy (See how they like it!) it's very simple and the cannon barely qualifies as such, but the robot mode is nice and fun and probably the closest someone has come to making a good looking Galvatron in all the attempts to create a...

(because women and mninorities are only ever "Pandering", right?) It is when it's done badly. And it usually is when it's done by people who don't actually believe in the message they're trying to send, whether it's because they don't really care or know about this stuff but they're force...

This is the first I've heard of anybody accusing Moffat of sexism too.

Maybe it's some kind of an offscreen thing like not paying the female actors as much or something. I mean, I'm assuming that whoever is accusing him of it also bothered explaining why.

Blowing up the TARDIS whilst regenerating does seem a very foolhardy thing to do - I got Tenth doing it to spite whoever came after him after his carrying on about regenerating to Wilf, but here...I didn't see the need. Maybe its something to do with the psychic link the Docotr has with the TARDIS ...

It's been well over a year since I last went to a flea market and maybe it's just my lack of childlike infatuation with trinkets that I used to have, or maybe it's just the more tech savvy people of today taking their sales online, leaving flea markets as the outlet of the less technologically incli...

Personally I just liked the whole twist of there being no diabolical plan of any kind at all. Although what bothered me was that they made it pretty explicit the Captain was going to die, since the Testimony was supposed to return him to the moment of death, except then they did and he proceeded to...

Say, is Thrust the only G1 conehead that actually had firing projectiles? I've been thinking about getting the trio but the old Takara reissues are really pricey these days, but then I realized that it doesn't really make any difference with Ramjet and Dirge if neither one of them had any spring-loa...

Encore Hoist - I can already see a point of contention with this mold, it's pretty clear to me that Takara didn't really design a lot of the Diaclone car molds with durability in mind. The shoulders are clear plastic! They're blue and a bit foggy so maybe they're more durable than the stuff they us...
