It's a shame, because he's really good at explaining complex transformations but I just can't take his weird sing-song fake British accent poo poo that he uses to cover for his lack of an actual personality. I wish he'd just, y'know, talk instead of doing the verbal equivalent of bad tap dancing.

I have a similar reaction to TJ Omega He's fine, at least I don't know anything about him that makes him a lovely person, but he's very awkward in a not super endearing way. He's just not fun to watch because his personality and the way he comes across. He seems very knowledgeable on a lot of stuff and again I don't know what stupid thing he has or hasn't done, but he just puts me off. Though I do like it when he gets genuinely happy about a toy and he digs into obscure stuff more than others

Bobby Skullface can get hosed. Watching his videos is what I imagine having eyeball and ear cancer at the same time is like. Felzbug's gimmick got old after the 4th video of his that I watched.

His videos are decent on mute if you need a transformation to follow.

Thew and peaugh are the only ones I watch regularly, although I also like Ben now and again. peaugh is no-frills and kind of a klutz at transforming stuff on camera, but he's thorough and at least he doesn't make my ears bleed.

At least that way I'm not constantly thinking how much of a loving idiot he is for not knowing 'transparent' is a word. Thew's videos are great, Peaugh gives no-frills reviews that cover new poo poo before it's out, and Ben is good for 3rd party/ko/being happy even when life is poo poo.

I looked at PotP Rodimus in the store today, but all I could think about was how Rhyno was talking about the KO MP Hot Rod being 35 bucks on Amazon so I went home and bought that instead, since Rodimus looks sorta poo poo and that Hot Rod is a pretty cool looking toy.

Thew's videos aren't so much reviews as they are both sides of a conversation with a mate about your shared favourite toy TBH. It's a very different experience.

You might find one at a Wal-Mart but I don't know man. Will you be anywhere you can receive mail? Or visiting anyone that would let you ship a package to them?

I just searched Amazon and saw a bunch of TR deluxes are $35 or more already. That's making my rethink my "maybe I can skip out on PotP waves" stance. Best to buy them at retail prices rather than risk missing out right?

I’ll be down in Louisiana (and maybe some Texas) for a couple of weeks, showing my other half around. I have a mail drop address there, if need be.

Well you could buy one from Amazon for $43 shipped and have it waiting for you. You did say your SO won't want to hit every single store right? Wouldn't you have more fun spending time with them instead of toy hunting every day?

Just got my NBK Hook! Holy poo poo Giftlove is awesome, super fast, I must have got one of the first ones. Even threw in some Decepticon logo labels. He’s a pretty dope robot, but man transforming for the first time was a little hairy. I got some major stress marks on the thin grey plastic that holds his front wheels. One of them I just gave up trying to bend it around cause it looked like it would snap. Waiting on my son to get home from school before combining for the first time - the light-up eyes are gonna blow his little mind.

They have tuned pretty closely to what demand actually is and I don't think we're going to see the ebay clearance explosion that CW did. When is that movie series they've been talking about for months coming out?

I guess I’m one of the few who can stand emgo reviews, he is just too positive about things. I can stand jobby too but not as much; way too much references to him jerkng off and his ‘sexy’ anime fan art. At least his reviews are usually quick. You know what? Not enough women reviewing Transformers on Youtube. And you know what else? Runforthecube should do a Transformers video.

Seems like there weren’t too many sent out in the first batch to sellers. He’s pretty imposing when combined, but only when standing still. The waist is quite loose, the cock cover keeps popping out and if he gets more than a slight lean on its all over. Love the eye light and the screaming face.

Not enough women reviewing Transformers on Youtube. forcing women to get into Transformers is just cruel and unusual punishment, and you are a sick, sadistic bastard for even suggesting that anyways that reminds me of a funny story. A friend of mine goes up to me and he's like: "Hey man, you really like transformers and you are an expert on it. I'm interested in seeing what it's all about. What should I watch? Do the old cartoons hold up?" and then I just bluntly reply "No." and he just bursts out laughing because that was not the answer he expected Transformers is trash and I loving love trash, but out of courtesy and respect to my friends, I do not invite them to swim in a dumpster with me unless they already like doing that
