http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsVL3qWn-kQ This is great! As of right now I'm walking with a limp and I can't bring my knees up to my waist without almost toppleing over in pain. That's how I felt getting up from the dinner table. :sick: Man, I sure miss that early-twenties metabolism... Merry Chri...

Well, Twilight's reached the point where there are fans. Which is cool, whatever... And then there are people who have the mania. And seeing people act like twelve-year-olds with the Harry Potter mania- only they're adults latching onto the latest trend- is pretty sad. And for some reason, Twilight ...

I'm already grieving at the likelihood that War Machine will show up a ton in the previews/trailers and will have about 7 minutes screen time. Something like how The Fallen was even in the subtitle, but only had 15 minutes screen time, 5 lines, and was offed quicker than Devastator. /cynic Meh...ha...

Eight dollar ROTF Deluxes at Wal-Mart ****ing rule. I noticed that today! It's great. I picked up a couple of figures from my "not sure if want" list. The ice cream twins and Sideways. Haven't opened either yet. Also found Encore Sky lynx for $30 bucks http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Cry2hN-xUQ...

Now THAT is cool! In my opinion, more impressive than any of your previous pieces I've seen. And I do mean that in the complimentary way. :up: All the small details work just right. The Omega on the shoulders is my favorite. Some of those appear to be G.I. Joe labels? The alt mode is unexpected but ...

Yeah, Frenzy makes clear that Human Alliance is more a size class than a literal concept. Moustache Man would have been cool. And if he were also able to fit inside Leader Starscream's cockpit that would have been a nice touch. (Not exactly to scale, but this is Transformers...) Then again, there's ...

Believe it or not, the '07 one is more accurate. Desert Tracker in person is nearly the color of a green olive. Add to that more accurate paint apps and the black bits on the '07, it's closer to the onscreen character altogether.

I do love Dio's music, love Rainbow in particular. The man is an amazing talent! Also, my father passed away with cancer not too long ago. I'm not fishing for sympathy, just putting a bit of perspective on my well wishes for Ronnie and his family. "The band's lineup for the trek was supposed to...

Just picked up four ROTF figs last night. First up is the Deluxe Gears. Totally a nostaligic choice. G1 Gears was my first TF as a kid, yadda yadda... Then an interesting trio of Scouts. Ejector and Scalpal! And Dune Runner, the surprise of this batch! Bought completely on impulse, but I'm really li...

Most of those items are "meh," several would be awesome to own. The signed photograph and poster are particularly gouging. The alt modes for Wheelie and Scalpal are interesting. I'm surprised how low the listed price for the Camaro is. And if the same person ends up with both that and the ...

It seems like this type of closing might have been a bit common during that time. And it's always creepy. I think the one that bothered me most was the Beverly Hillbillies standing at their door and waving maniacally for nearly a minute.

I didn't even think about that. True, a Prime would have to be HUGE to be in scale with the human figures. After all these years a TF line has a basis for scale and it's...humans. :p Back to acquisitions, recently I got a vynil LP in the mail I picked up on an online auction. It's called "Attac...

Ah, right. HA Sideswipe comes with a oddly proportioned Epps! His legs are ridiculously long- his thighs are as long as his entire arm. Other than that, it's a decent enough figure for its size and intent. (You don't even see the legs when he interacts with Sideswipe.) Despite plenty of room, the Ep...

Long story short, the Masters of the Universe movie of the 80s, live action with Dolph Lungrin by the by, left itself open for a sequel at the end of the end credits. Skeletor appears on screen and says "I'll be back!". But they were prolly ripping that off of Terminator and the like. Reg...
