I found a Chromia yesterday. I like her a lot better, now that I figured out her torso crunch deal. That poo poo was stuck real good til I took off her limbs and head, and fiddled with it some.

Comic shop I found her at had a plain-Generations dark green/yellow truck or construction type equipment guy that I totally forgot his name. Which would make it easier to ask if he was any good.

Was it Hoist? http://tfu.info/2013/Autobot/GenHoist/hoist.htm

Hmm, autobot or decepticon? Hoist maybe?

e;fb

Hoist is good if he's on sale. He's a bit hollow, but he's also Hoist and can do a nice "head out in alt-mode" kind of deal:


Also he has at least one 3rd party upgrade kit, if you are into that sort of thing.

No, I think it may've been a voyager, actually. He'll surely still be there in a couple weeks when I go look again. Then I can look him up properly. I mean, they've still got Beast Hunters toys.

I had the yellow one and it sucked rear end until I threw it away when one of the tires broke off at the translucent red plastic joint.

It's been a week since I ordered Soundwave off of Smyths toys, it's been "on its way to the courier" since the 31st of October. Never ordering from a company using a Hermes-based courier again/listening to The_Doctor (just kidding on that last one).

Goddamn am I starting to get sick of finding hairline cracks in Masterpieces. This isn't even a stress thing, it looks like.

What's my best option for fixing this? Can I stuff some epoxy into the crack as is, or do I have to push the pin out first? And what epoxy? Or Gorilla Glue?

yeah that was almost kind of strange... in previous years they were the 2nd-most expensive booth for stuff, behind none other than tfsource. But this year they actually had some reasonable prices and even the best deals of the 'con on some things (that tailgate comes to mind).

Exactly, and being able to haggle down on an Iron Factory Windblade which had a dinged box was awesome.

2. If there's someone hanging around your neighborhood you don't know, shoot him.

If you're only going to own one ridiculously big transformer Devastator is the one to own.

I'm still shocked they didn't keep making Devastators until the christmas season. Seems like the perfect toy for a "big under-the-tree gift", wonder why they blew their load early on? And it never seemed like there were very many Devastators to begin with, seems like it went out of production super fast.

It's really weird especially with the potential Devastation video game tie-in that could have been exploited to make tons of money while making customers happy. But hey, who am I to question toy stores' methods? I'll just be over here waiting for my Soundwave to arrive, let's see how the delivery is going...
