It's a badly kept secret that Mars Bars are actually made on Earth from local materials, just to reduce transport costs. I think it's scandalous and to the best of my knowledge the candy companies have never dared address it or even bring the subject up. But then again, I have from various...

I wonder how tall this new Optimus is compared to HasLab Fire Convoy Prime's inner robot?

I wonder if there was ever a BotBot that turned into a bathroom scale? Then we could see if Optimus was in scale with that scale. In other news, Rumble is Red and Frenzy is Red and Thrust is Red and my first Bumblebee was Red and Red Alert is...mostly white now that I look it up, but....

I've used Rubik's cube lube, or this, which is a lot thinner...

I tend to bend the ramps one joint at a time, but I also added some plastic-safe silicon lube at those joints to prevent binding, as they ARE plastic pegs. Here's my setup now, a mix of generations. And here's also 'modern' Gasket and Grommet, with the original versions in the foot-slots...

He goes in with his legs to the side and tilted, like above, with his arms swung forwards. It's why the shell has such a massive backpack. I don't get it either, since they could have easily made it work 'normal' Pretender style, maybe because his feet are so large and don't fold, to avoid...

I always wondered about the wisdom of putting an organic in a robot head anyway: Fortress Maximus: "I used to hear voices, they kept saying things like 'Help! Help! There's no air holes!' but eventually they stopped...what IS that smell...?" And the colors of the shell now make sense, then...

I've seen them side by side since a friend has the TR and I had the Encore, the TR Maximus DOES have vastly superior detailing. Without stickers, it resembles a stack of cinder blocks. With them though, it did really come alive. I also got the TFSS Double Pretender Megatron, one of the only...

I figure it would have to be a new mold to work. I loved Super Megatron, though, the only reason I sold it was financial issues. It was one of my all-time favorites, especially if you had a couple TFSS Seekers for extra 'spikeyness' for the team (also gone, that was a bad year).

While it hasn't been done (except maybe with Galvatron if you squint), I still think a 'gun' Megatron could easily be made by making him a FIELD gun. Not a tank, one of those artillery pieces that you pretty much roll to where you want it and then use it in place. Make it big enough and you...

I am not sure but if that's really what it is, often you can get those to fade out with a hair dryer. I doubt you did it, that part is pretty solid, so more likely it's just the color of the plastic itself. The pegs alone are thicker than most figures ARMS but it also means that the whole...

I honestly throw mine in the 'prison' cell area, since the gate can come down separate from the stairs. Not a perfect solution (and things do fall out the top when you transform it) but it works.

That's similar, here's also something I've tried, more 'runny' but a very tiny droplet on a bent paperclip can get into small areas. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09J8HRLQV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's not any worse QC than normal. In my own, one leg gun snaps in and out fine while the other is rather loose. I can see some seam mis-match in the leg bay with the steps, now that I look. In my own case, Cerebros's knees were scary tight and the screw didn't help, I used a bit of plastic...

I see Starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker in that line as some sort of Idol Group, Megatron as their stern manager with a homicidal attitude towards fanboys, and Optimus and Bumblebee as two fangirls on the other side of a Youtube window offering commentary while Op's twin sister is going...

Until the day the police report reads "Cause of death, head struck with a cinder block. Possibly self inflicted, seems he jumped INTO the block rather than being hit with it. Robbery not a motive, many gold coins found scattered around the body, untouched..."

Eh, anyone who claims a hard line between kids Transformers and adult Transformers is fooling themselves. I and my nephew live next door to each other, and the back-and-forth has only increased as he gets older. I just note that I'm cheaper to 'shop' at than a Wal-Mart run and he's more likely...

When gas was cheaper and stores were closer it made sense. When gas is $3+ it doesn't take a long trip before not finding something equaled shipping, and many places have free shipping anyway. And re: Instagram, I could see it ONCE on one computer before it locked it, and another I couldn't...

This one? It looked like there are a few...

The collector's coin isn't in all of them, but are very inexpensive to get. Mine didn't have it. That one's box is in better shape than what I got from BBTS back when it was reissued! Comparing it to mine, I see the various parts, the sticker sheet, and card/papers, I think it's all there. I...
