Trig Discipline posted:Careful with that joke, it’s an antique. The first time I heard the 'moray' pun was in one of Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon novels. I can't remember which story it appeared in but he started writing them in the 70s.

I love transforming robot toys that turn into completely useless objects. There's been a ton of them over the years, there's a surprising number of vintage transforming toys that turn into dumb stuff like padlocks and cash registers and stuff.         Edit: of course the official Transformers and Go-Bots toy lines also had many characters that transformed into lame objects like Soundwave and Reflector and Perceptor. The Go-Bots famously featured the Rock Lords who transformed into boulders and were dazzlingly effective warriors just as long as their opponents came at them from down a steep slope but they were otherwise completely useless.

I had the french fries and Big Mac ones when I was a kid. I believe their role was limited to being eaten by the other Transformers.

I really like the robot mode of Masterpiece Soundwave but I can never justify paying around $150 for a Transformers that transforms into a box shape.

PittTheElder posted:Yeah my work also has a policy limiting the number of employees and VPs who are allowed to fly together. I've heard a (possibly apocryphal) anecdote that they limit how many sumo wrestlers are on the same plane when traveling to events because a single plane crash could potentially wipe out the whole sport. Also they're fat.

I like that Boba Fett was a cool badass based only on his looks from the 80s to early 2000s, yet this one picture could have destroyed his entire reputation. Also wondering if the lady on the right is wearing some sort of colored full body pantyhose or if she's just body painted.

You’re in luck: the clear and gold color scheme of him is 80 bucks on amazon and comes with 3 of his cassettes, or the knockoff version in the original color scheme is 70 on Amazon and comes with Laserbeak. According to all I’ve heard, the knockoffs are run off the same production line.

Pick posted:Greedo was played by a lady. Greedo was played by a man and a lady. In the shots where we see both Han and Greedo in the frame he's played by Paul Blake but when they later shot some pickup closeups of Greedo he was played by Maria De Aragon. The Paul Blake version of Greedo has silly long fingers with suckers on the end and a slightly different vest, the Maria De Aragon version has shorter fingers.
