  1. I'm reading a lot of hatred over SS86 Astrotrain. Infact if you hit Reddit you'll see almost every hour the last couple of days someone has been posting images about how mistransformed the promo images have been, then when new images come in that's a little better, it's still supposedly mistransformed even further but fixed a couple of the gripes. But it seems a ton are in agreement the price tag and what we're getting just doesn't match up well and making others think they will either keep their WFC variant or Headmaster. I for one stayed with my Headmaster but rarely ever saw the WFC which I thought was a nicer figure at the time. As for this SS86 Astrotrain, I'm not impressed by it, he seems to be overall just a hard character to design as a physical toy. His robot mode is a bit of a mishmash of details with really long heels on him which I just despise when I see stuff like that. Overall just his legs are terrible looking. And then the torso area we can't seem to see what's going on cause every image is still mistransformed one way or another. Shockwave is gonna be a total pass, I'm fine with the WFC release, I don't need another one for a brighter purple. I have zero need for ANOTHER Wheeljack let alone a 3rd release of Sunstreaker. I'm actually surprised we haven't gotten a chest blown out Wheeljack yet. I passed on TC so I'll pass on SW as well.....the biggest reason is due to the quality of plastic people are reporting on TC from yellowing significantly to stress marks and even full on breakage. That's rather sad.....on a black figure like SW it's just gonna be worse on the stress. So far, the only thing I see that might be worth getting would be the Matrix...and I can just go and print my own if I really want too.....
  2. yeah that was like "Wait what?" Sounds like she may have died from a sudden illness. I know she had some health issues that her internal organs were not in their proper locations. I don't know if that was something to do with her passing. But she's gonna be missed. Means we won't be seeing any future reunions with Home Alone movies, and well, Her character already passed on in Beetlejuice so there's that.
  3. Dude lookin like he's aboutu to go goblin slayin.
  4. I had one of the fries but was more of a dinosaur or something, the chicken nuggets, the big mac, the icecream cone and the shake. I would def like to try and get them again, I don't think I have them anymore. These and the Mac at Night figures were found memories for me back then.
  5. Gears is still showing sold out right now on amazon. But appreciate it.
  6. Well I for one am looking forward to it. Buddy and I watched the trailer and I think he was actually more excited over it than I was.
  7. I think of my Season 1 and Season 2 Autobot cast, I'm really only missing Swoop and Gears.........and everywhere I look they want an astronomical amount of money. I guess technically Skids, but I really don't count him as existing due to his 3 seconds of show time he's ever had. My Season 1 and 2 Decepticon cast I believe I'm just missing Rumble (blue......he's ALWAYS BEEN BLUE!) again, Astronomical price. Well I mean there's the new combaticon set but I'm not really counting them cause they're just to out of my price range and I still have combiner wars, and they're decent. Sadly even going to top tier places like Toy Dojo, I come up massively short.
  8. It wasn't for everyone, but when it comes to people saying Dave Filoni is a genius or makes fantastic shows, I generally tend to remind them the awful mess that was Star Wars: Resistance, his third animated series considered by many to being one of the worst out there with cringe characters and poor storyline.
  9. ah, finally watched it. Well you could have labeled this almost like any other title of a sci fi movie and it would still be fairly generic. it was the least TRON looking film of the 3, it was bland, I didn't think the music was any good really at all, the acting was subpar and generic, I felt absolutely no attachment to any of this like I did with the original film or Legacy, hell even Uprising. It's like Ronning the director, didn't give a crap about what made TRON such a fun movie and just went with whatever would bring in a box office paycheck for Disney and failed. I honestly would not care if I ever watched this movie again. Leto was a bore, Gillian Anderson who I think is usually an awesome actress provided nothing, Greta Lee felt washed out like for someone who's supposed to be this tech genius really didn't do much except run away, and her team had more importance than anyone else but the least amount of screen time. Maybe I'm just being a little rough, but I expected way more for a 15 year wait on a 40 year old story. Yeah, Disney should just stop and don't bother with it anymore....if you're gonna do something, do an adventure game series, or an animated series to utilize the budget better. This just sucked.
  10. Yeah MPG-20 just looks like a Studio Series 86 Hot Rod. Speaking of which, I'm sort of tempted to pre-order because his colors pop better to me than the original release, plus the accessories. I dunno still on the fence. However with that said, while I was out today getting some stuff for my gym session tomorrow from Walmart I came across 2 Brawls....I almost picked him up. But just as I thought would happen I cringed at that 43+ dollar price point and ended up putting him away. I can almost say that my days of collecting Transformer figures is probably coming to an end. At these prices, I'd almost be better off just investing a bit in a 3rd party line that looks closer to animation models or just makes better sense financially for it's size. It rather sucks.
  11. There's an old Terminator comic by Dark Horse I read many years ago. The art style and colors are very similar to Cameron's work here. Pretty dark and horrible future in t hat comic with John Connor pretty much at the end of his rope ready to give up, and Skynet getting desperate in it's attacks launching nukes against tectonik plates and volcanos.
