These things are everywhere here, and my son being a LEGO fanatic has to have them all and multiples of certain figures, so I've got the whole "feeling them out" thing down to a science. I have never been wrong, after buying at least 30 of these things for him. The bar codes were sorta har...

Those all look terrible to be frank. I wouldn't even buy them at normal retail costs, little alone the high amount they will undoubtedly sale them for. I hope that the other exclusives will not be Animated figures, as I'll probably actually go this year since it is only a 3 hour drive to Pasadena, w...

Hit the local Wal Mart today, not really expecting to find anything given how empty the shelves have been.... and found Kup I refuse to believe Kup exists in stores outside of the internet, until I personally see one. I stopped at every Target and Wal*Mart between San Jose and Fresno (about 10 stor...

Since Unicron is supposed to exist in all known continuities and universes or some such insane shit Takara thought up during the whole Unicron Trilogy fiasco and the insane continuity flowchart connecting every known continuity together, chances are Galactus actually is Unicron... just in disguise.

I'd pick it up if it isn't crazy expensive, but I don't even know what the retail price for something like that would be if it wasn't a SDCC exclusive, to be honest. I usually get the SDCC exclusives just because they are easy for me to get, since it is only 4 hours away from where I live. But I hop...

Super Target and Greatlands Target in my area has the big Battle Ops Bumblebee on clearance right now for $39.99, probably a good price for someone if they actually want it. I passed it up, not a fan of movie-verse toys, but thought I should mention the sale for those who are.

The problem I have with the MP Starscream, is that the first time I transformed mine he got stress marks on the wing joints and I've been afraid to transform him to jet mode ever again after that. You can literally see the cracks in the plastic, and I'm fairly certain if I ever tried transforming hi...

I don't think he would stand up to par with MP Optimus or Starscream. I already think MP Starscream is shoddy as hell, but Prime and Grimlock are fantastic. I'll probably hold off on Megatron, I've been lurking around other places today and it seems like there are far more negative attributes than ...

After time has passed..what do you think of MP Megatron now?

Just what the topic suggests. I want to know what all of you that bought it, thinks about it now. I recall stories of it being so fragile and breaking or rusting, or god only knows what. I never paid that much attention becuase I was not in the market for one. But now I kinda want one. But I want to...

I got the RTS G2 Optimus Prime, Wreck-Gar, and Perceptor yesterday. Managed to find a Generations Scourge today as well. No Kup though sadly. These little bastards are getting way too hard to transform for the kids that they are supposed to be made for.

The only bands I'd be remotely interested in seeing would be Marduk and Impaled Nazarene, and that is only on the hope that they would play mostly old material. I haven't been very impressed with either band's more recent offerings. The rest of the bands are either bands I've seen back in the 90's a...

I finally ran across a Generations Blurr today at Wal*Mart while I was there picking up some household items. This has been the first time I've seen one in a retail store, so I grabbed it up. I have to say, for a repaint/remold, it really outshines the original Drift figure. It is amazing what some ...
