One of the broken bots was a Machine Boy Blast Off so I was worried for a bit but his guns are present.

Nonnef, after responding to me fairly quickly when asked about where the stuff was and saying they were being shipped out (months ago), then went silent immediately upon being asked for a refund, has now shipped out my stuff. What a fucker, they weren't shipped at all, he just didn't want to give a refund.
According to the people who are starting to get them on TFW, they're pretty crappy too. Evidently there's a lot of sprue that needs to be cut off and some kind of unannounced color change between the prototype and release?

That's a nightmare situation right there. Hopefully it was nothing in the $100+ dollar range.

Right now it only looks like cheap things were damaged. The MB Blast Off, a tiny Enterprise, and a sonic screwdriver were the obviously broken bits. Like, cracked parts that can't be fixed. One of her sons also pulled the capes off of two Superman figures I had sitting there as well. I had two small tubs of extra parts on the shelf, one full of CW hand/feet, the other was extra hands and heads for Marvel Legends and some DCC bits. Our friend found a ton of those in the backseat of her car and in her son's pockets but I don't think I know exactly what was in those tubs to begin with.

She's offered me $200 already and I'm like "that's waaaaay too much" but I'm still checking things over to make sure they didn't damage anything else.

I'm not saying tv shows should make jokes like that constantly but if it was a throwaway joke on the Colbert report I doubt anyone would go out of their way to tie their SJW gland in a knot like this.

I think carbombya was funny but it obviously wouldn't fly today, but I also watched the latino dub of armada (like, once or twice cuz the show was really bad) and Carlos obviously talked like everyone else and didn't invoke the power of beans.

Yeah, it's just that. As I said I find it funny, if mostly in a "haha, the things we used to laugh at back then". I also laughed with Team America however.

Although our latin american TV shows still use a lot of jokes and impersonations that I guess modern americans would find incredibly distasteful (often pretty cringeworthy tbh). Japanese media is a bit like that too because they just don't give a gently caress at all.

No, don't try to dilute the argument. Like the whole carbombya thing has long been pointed to as a facepalm-worthy racist joke that would absolutely never fly past when they did it in children's television, no need to jump to its defense. Colbert making a joke about it is a lot different than kid's TV which has a lot more influence on the minds of the children watching it.

Edit: oh cool you actually used sjw in your argument, missed that, not a real shocker though with you. I'm done with this dicussion, I've said my piece.

If you don't like Galvatron's "mask" gimmick, you can do this cool mod. He retains the headmaster transformation too.

Someone in TFW left the chinstrap too, which IMO looks even better.
