Re: Hey, what does everyone do for work now, anyway?

I'm now manager of Logistics for a small plastics company. I would have said no when I was offered the job except for 2 reasons: I've been here long enough that I know the way things work around here and I'd have wound up as a 'temporary' fill-in, and after a brief stint away for health insurance re...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

“It’s about freakin’ time! Ya finally got us a ship!” Rattrap looked at the orange spacecraft. “Th’ actual ship’s gonna be a lot bigger, right?” Dinobot looked at the ship, then looked down at Rattrap. “I do not think this is what you were hoping for, Vermin.” “What? Crew quarters, lots’a guns, big ...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

It's been kind of the same around here. We've done a bit better with the Netflix stuff, but I haven't seen any Beast Wars reissues, the only reissued Classic Headmasters(or whatever they're technically called) I saw were Hardhead and Highbrow, I think the last strictly G1 reissue I saw was Blaster.....

"Don'cha already got this one?" "Do not be critical, Vermin, lest he use the same argument about you." It won't work. I've already got more than one Rattrap. Besides, this more comes down to asthetic. Transformers Headmasters Walmart Exclusive Chromedome : This was a bit of an od...

Re: OFFICIAL TRANSFORMERS TOYS NEWS

While I had no real interest in Unicron(I've got the Armada version with nowhere to put it, do I need another Unicron that's the size of a piece of furniture?), I would love to get Star Saber. Just Star Saber. It's nothing against Victory Leo, but given where the figure will likely wind up, having w...

Re: Which characters are you still waiting for a good toy of?

The Bludgeon looks really good. So does their take on Tracks, although not nearly as good as Bludgeon.

Has anybody gotten any of their other figures? What's the quality like?

Because I can't read kanji to save my lifeI shall have to resort to the eBay listing. Kantai Collection KanColle Kai Regular Edition for the PS Vita.

Every time I think my local Walmart just isn't getting much in the way of stock coming in, they get something that surprises me. I think the last time they got any of the Legends-ish size class was PotP. After the first wave of that, no little guys, unless they were included with a Netflix version. ...

Re: Book Me, Dano.

As this is the 25th Anniversary year for Tomb Raider, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics(or at least the five people at CD who haven't been pressganged into trying to make Avengers break even) have posted for free on the Tomb Raider blog the three novels that came out when Angel of Darkness did: The A...

Re: [The video game thread]

So this one is a bit of an odd one. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Action Adventure for the DVD player. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s not that surprising. From what I understand of watching SteveofWarr’s stream of the game, what it is is a DVD port(sort of) of Angel of Darkness. The strange part be...

"I ain't gonna say it." Why not? "Ya get me a transmetal body yet?" No. Far as I can tell, nobody's making updated versions of transmetals . "Then I ain't sayin' slag." Dinobot looked over the new arrival, arching an eyebrow at the highly polished finish. Then he looked...

You're not kidding about his alt-mode. That's the worst looking cassette ever. :D Kidding aside, I'm hoping all of those pics are of prototypes. I don't mind if they're going to give him a jaguar alt-mode, but he shouldn't have the fur patterning. It makes his head look kind of weird and his body lo...

Re: Which characters are you still waiting for a good toy of?

The Ravage looks great, and I hope I can get one, but I want to see some physical reviews first. The only one out of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee pack I want is Fangry. I could see them doing all of these figures as Selects versions as well. I mean, other than Fangry, Hubcap/Bumblebee, and a toy accurat...

So a few games this time, due more to lack of time than anything. Well, except for two of them. Taking so long to be able to try it was Nintendo’s fault. So we’ll go with the order that I got them in. The Silver Case 2425 Collector’s Edition for the Nintendo Switch. Spotted this in the locked case o...

Re: [The video game thread]

In a sense, it must be one of those games. Like Skyrim, whose fans have bought every version going, from the original to the Samsung fridge version. Or Final Fantasy 7. Am I like that with those games? Oh, no. That might make a little more sense. Me? Catherine: Full Bodied - Counting the PS3 version...
