I picked up SRW30 on 65% off sale last week, but I haven't tried it yet. Most of the negative reviews have been of the, "it's not hard enough" variety, which suits me fine. :) ---Dave

Okay, done getting the Regalia on all my characters. It's a LOT easier if you have a tank job you can use, tanks barely take damage from anything except the big instakill, which does not instakill them. (Hint: ) ---Dave

And here's the last one, Booticus. It almost has the components in the same places, just putting not-Swindle in the torso position. Not too bad, except for the fact that the shoulder peg connectors got installed incorrectly and mangled in the process, so they won't really stay in. ---Dave

I'd forgotten how annoying the final duty of the event is. While you're not technically playing as a different character, your own powers are all but irrelevant. It's all about using the duty power. ---Dave

The Computron knockoff is the worst of the five. Not just the obvious aesthetics, the left arm barely stays on, and the waist doesn't stay together at all, the top half just sits on the bottom half. The entire abdomen is extra kibble. ---Dave

I considered doing more, like using clear green Tamiya paint to make the green bits look more transparent, but decided to stop where I did. ---Dave

If you look upthread a bit, I linked to the gallery, which is set public. Hm, Optimus KO with what looks a lot like movie Sentinel's chest.... ---Dave

Another letter-bot fake Transformer combiner, the team made from the letters BUILDS: And unrelated, I hit the local flea market for the first time in months, and one stall had a decent selection of knockoffs: I picked up the two-pack of Train Soldiers vs. Thunder Vanguard, probably massively...

"Such exhibitionism was NOT my intention!" - Gaius Van Baelsar, reading the chat window during a cutscene ---Dave

Gilgamesh in his role as Yojimbo has found steady employment in Manderville as a GATE boss. ---Dave

Oddly, the most recent Hildebrand arc has really depressing implications for Metieon's actions. I wouldn't have expected Hildy's goofy light-hearted arc to confirm . ---Dave

I thought this did things better than the original Crisis in several ways, notably how Barry Allen actually got a better ending. And it was clever how they tied this in with the previous New 52 adaptation movies by having . ---Dave

Here's a couple of the finished alphabet combiners for those who don't have facebook accounts. First, a sorta Volcanicus (the Swoop from J is backpack wings): And here's faux Predaking: For both of these, the heads are separate pieces that tab on. The remaining ones are a Computron riff...

Like all multi-character mounts, it's quite large and requires pulling the camera way back so you can see where you're going, but it's better than the Chocobo Carriage in that respect. If you haven't done this event before, keep in mind it doesn't just give you the car, it temporarily unlocks...

Most of the Hildebrand stuff is, "I like it, but don't need to see it again." Just about the right amount of driving a joke into the ground, replaying it would go past that limit. Nashu is my waifu, though. I will fight that little Lalafell stalker for her. ;) ---Dave

At least you'll be able to blow through the 8-man duties solo unsynched when you get to the rest of the Adventures, instead of needing to wait for them to pop. ---Dave

The problem is that a lot of these places are ONLY wholesalers, they aren't set up to sell to the general public. Sometimes it's even a licensing thing, where the product is only allowed in a particular context (e.g. claw machines) and is not licensed for regular sale. ---Dave, did check...

And that holiday is February 15, aka Clearance Chocolate Day. ---Dave

If anything, the animation model has MORE glowy bits, especially on the shins. ---Dave
