The_Doctor posted:Basically all I’m hearing is that I should just stick with Thew. You can't go wrong with Thew. He's got the correct taste in music, too. Can't seem to track down that band Mouth, though. I'd buy that album based upon on the YouTube video for Lord Money if I could figure out where to. Maybe they're a lesser known UK band? Keldroc posted:Not weird, IMO. Emgo is max tier awkward nerd cringe factor. 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. Accurate. Keldroc posted: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. Same. whiter than a Wilco show posted:1) pretty sure suggesting this is a hate crime They can't be worse than Emgo, though. They would probably elevate the medium by their presence.

I'm redoing my displays and boxing up my MP cars for a while and man do I ever hate Hasbro Prowls box compared to the Takara boxes. Edit: PotP Grimlock is growing on me. He'll look even better when the PE kit drops.   UNRELATED anyone wanna buy an MP Grimlock? Rhyno fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Feb 10, 2018 |

Apparently KO MPM Barricade already exists. Careful buying them from Asia, since they are often sold for normal prices.

Hun-grr looks really good as Abominus's torso. Transformation-wise he looks like a backwards Silverbolt, which I'm pretty sure someone here already speculated.

Grabbed a full set of wave 2 legends from my Wal-Mart today in mid Missouri. They had probably 4 of each left with some overstocked on top. They had not been on brickseek and would not scan at check out so the clerk manually entered them as a misc. toy item.

Yep, toe-to-tip, that's a Silverbolt. But it works, so whatever. A much more thorough reuse than Scattorshot. Also there's an Elita-One gallery up, I'm not sure why they went with those holes in the wings, but otherwise she looks better than Starscream. I think the complimentary colors make it so her giant Popeye limbs don't stand out as much. http://news.tfw2005.com/2018/02/11/hand-images-power-primes-voyager-elita-1-358205

Yes. If I were compelled to keep Like I'm looking forward to new releases in general right now and some in particular like Optimal Optimus, but I don't need them to redo every Beast Wars character and I feel like there's a limit to how many times you can rehash the 80's guys, even when you get down to doing obscure variants like the G2 boxsets which I still can't believe exist If their next thing is to redo the Unicron Trilogy stuff then I do have some middling nostalgia for some of it because *~memories~* of cutting class in high school to walk down to the mall to buy Energon Inferno and generally gently caress around, but beyond that I do think I see an end on the horizon as far as my buying new stuff is concerned. Watch me eat my words before the end of 2018 though

Being an internet celebrity with an open mailbag has its ups and downs, if you ever want to see what it's like when one goes off the deep end, go check out the Super Best Friends mailbags, in which they had mentioned on one of their podcasts that they heard of this super rad FIVE-TO-SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ultra-limited-edition bluray/dvd/artbook/everything else ultimate boxed set and were dreaming of possibly owning it as a hypothetical...and then in one of their mailbags shortly after, someone had sent them one. And then they opened the next package in that mailbag and...someone else had sent them a second one. They shut down the mailbag shortly after. They put it really well, "we need to have a discussion about this later. Because this, this is Radioactive Man #1. We will KILL EACH OTHER over this." Also, people were sending them boxes full of weapons and sex toys from baddragon, so that was probably a factor in shutting it down too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWw9aBt_Jpc&hd=1&t=507s I say this because Thew seems to have just had his first run-in with the probably well-meaning but unfortunately not-really-thought-out fan who sent him something he shouldn't have. He sent that winged combining leader movie optimus prime, except the entire trailer was destroyed and glued together, basically trash. Who wants that? And then you have to word it really carefully that you appreciate the gesture but to not send you garbage, and risk looking like a jerk if you do it wrong. Or telling people not to spend multiple week's paychecks worth on stuff they're sending you, in other cases. Thew could ABSOLUTELY fall down that slippery slope if he gets much more popular, which he seems to be quite rapidly becoming. https://twitter.com/toygrind/status/962749592113688576

It wasn't even the Gurren Lagann blu-ray sets that made them shut down the mailbag - it was the fact that the mail NEVER slowed down - the guys were simply running out of room to put everything people were sending them. I think Woolie was sent 2-3 katanas in the final mailbag.

Canada kind of frowns upon illegal weapons being sent through their mail system and they probably didn't want to get in trouble with the police

I'm actually pretty close to just not caring anymore. I've got most of the dudes I care about that they're likely to make, and with the Dinobots coming out that's the top of my wishlist sorted to within tolerable margins of error. It'd be nice if they weren't compromised for combining purposes, but I can always just never buy Grimlock and not care.

Yeah, there’s more obscure ones to go (I’m surprised they haven’t tapped the Autobot targetmasters yet), but I could honestly be done tomorrow. I’d be sad we never got a new Omega Supreme, but I’d live.

Meanwhile in another TF thread I read, two pages have gone by of excited theorycrafting and discussion of the new issue. Another thread is similar but with added comments about how nice it was to not have Anode around. I haven't read any recent Lost Light, but so far comparing and contrasting the reactions to the issues is at least as entertaining as reading them would be.
