You're welcome! Surprisingly hard to hand sew tiny robot hats. I'd do it again though :D

Edit: In case it wasn't clear his Jolly stat is only 3 but that's 3 times normal Prowl's Jolly stat. Almost like it grew 3 sizes that day...

You're very welcome. There is actually a second USPS priority box on the way to you with something I picked up for you while I was in Japan. Hope you like the Grimore kit as well. It's a really awesome model kit.
Got the 2nd box today! Thanks for the Q bots and snacks. These guys are cool and surprisingly articulate! You nailed the selection too, Nemesis and a black Megatron repaint. I love it.

I think they're a Japanese only line. The Q Bot stuff is usually just toy cars and other characters that go from car to person.

I should pick up one of those, too. I have Vader and a normal stormie, but none of the rest. Wish I had Luke.

I also wish I had gotten a 2nd Stormtrooper when they were still affordable.

There's two sets to choose from: igear's Shark Attack Squad and Unique Toy's Sharkies. They both seem fairly decent and seem to always be on sale. Can usually get the three set for $60 or so. I have the Igear ones. I think Sharkies look a bit better in shark mode but they're smaller than the already small Igear guys.

In my dreams Deceptive Thinker somehow ends up involved in the resulting new cons, and he crowns Taint Reaper the king of the Cybertronian cons with a bunch of Thews dressed up as constructicons playing trumpets. Then they gather the last remaining banner-men of the funpub empire up, chain them to the wall and Taint Reaper fires rainbow colored lasers from his eyes, reducing them to a pile of stolen credit cards and ill-gotten yachts as the crowd cheers.

In less nonsensical news Madhaus has Felisabre, Dinoni+Dinoichi and Grandus Hexatron on sale if anyone is so inclined. I think he's doing sales all week or something?

You're close, apparently they're wanting to start a kickstarter because Hasbro's Legal Department stole their dream out from under them. And they think that any Hasbro sanctioned convention just wont be the real deal because it would be run by soulless corporate suits and not ~real fans~ like FunPub.

They're already in talks with third parties to get ~~~EXCLUSIVE~~~TOYS!!!!~~~~

I assume so, it appears they have the license throughout 2016 and apparently they're still planning to do one more wave of subscription figures.

It'll be pretty hilarious if they try to do their own unofficial con, considering how much bad will they've built up in the fandom over the last few years and how poorly they manage even when they have corporate backing, their own con could only crash and burn spectacularly. I wonder if they'll have a ball pit?

Yea it looks like the 2016 one should still be on haha. A part of me is thinking now like man, maybe I should let my hotel room go and not go to it. The other part is like "I could be at the last one, this could be a thing I'll remember seeing for good or for bad". There's another part that says why not go since Louisville isn't that far and I heart Transformers.

I plan to try to get to TFCon too in the fall though. Chicago is only 5 hours from here so!
