About a week ago I bought a second hand Hybrid Style Convoy (G1 version), though it looks like it's brand new. And oh my... I love that fig. My favorite Prime as of now.

I picked up a couple of Prime BH Cyberverse figures Hardshell and Trailcutter. Hardshell is pretty good, but using Barrage's green and yellow looks awful. Trailcutter is a neat retool of the Cyberverse Ironhide mould, much better looking than the Generations toy, if I do say so myself :) I agree on...

Been playing Tomb Raider on my PS3. Dang, it's so epic. The action, the drama, the story... I'm speechless.

I also have 007 Quantum of Solace for PS3 lying in front of me here. Gonna play that sometime soon.

Not getting a next-gen console here. I love my laptop, PS Vita and PS3, so I already got enough. Plus I have far too many unfinished games. I'll be busy completing those the next 50 years...

I've been to a toy store in Belgium where they actually still have Classics/Universe, "Hunt for the Decepticons", Energon and Armada toys.
Picked up Universe Heavy Load and Blaster, "Hunt for the Decepticons" Seaspray and Energon Steamhammer.

Finally got into GTA Online, and it's a lot of fun. Although my in-game insurance company may not like me too much. I went through 2 cars today. Awesome! Are you on PS3 or XBOX? If anyone wants to play some GTA Online on PS3 with me, just add me. PSN: markie15. Btw: the people who've played GTA Onl...

Lego is an evergreen toy. The parts have changed little over the years, and with the drop-in/drop-out ability of different licensed properties, the sets are like a never-ending gold mine (add in the every present City sets too). There's a ton of parents out there who, like me, had Lego sets in thei...

Hell, back when I was a kid there was a lot of worry computer games were ruining kids, and we seem to have turned out OK. I think parents just have a natural distrust of their sprogs being heavily into something that wasn't around when they were youngsters. Certainly most games are better at provok...

I hate it that many people prefer their mobile phone above everything else nowadays. The only thing many of them are doing with those phones is sending totally unimportant messages or they want to check their Facebook every minute. Even when you're in a conversation with those people they're not pay...

Yep. So far I've unlocked Jazz, Ultra Magnus, and the confusingly located Air Raid(an arena section where racing through the streets is what you're doing? Finish it with a boss battle against a jet, of course) I'm really liking what they did with Magnus. It's obviously based on Op's sprite, but the...

Wow.. what a creep. The toy stores in the Netherlands will be once again loaded with these new figs of the new movie line next to the shelves full of Bot Shots (:down:). No Generations-line toys here... Only movie stuff and Bot Shots... :nonono:

I've completed four or five arena missions, but haven't unlocked anybody yet. I just checked it. Hot Rod and Grimlock are the very last arena bosses (if you're playing the Autobots version). You can unlock Hot Rod by completing the last arena mission on the dam, "Dam 6". Grimlock is obtai...
