I finally broke into my set last night. Everything looks great, with just one exception. Looks like the barbarians are molded in two pieces. The sword and arms are glued to the rest of the body. On my female barbarian though, it looks like the left arm didn't get fully inserted into the shoulder...

It appears we lucked out. My daughter ended up having a pretty mild case. She ran a fever for several days, but never went much higher than about 101. She had an upset stomach off and on for several days, but never developed any other symptoms. We just got her retested today, and she's now...

As a kid, I never kept anything other than the instructions and bio/tech specs that could be cut out of the box. I stopped collecting for several years in my teens. After getting back into it around the late BW/BM era, I started a brief completionist phase during RiD and part of the UT where I...

Well, that blew right through the funding goal. Barely more than a week in. I'd say there's a new bar for measuring the success of a HasLab project.

So, was everyone else completely unaware that there was a HeroQuest card game that apparently got an extremely limited release earlier this year? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/328586/heroquest-card-game https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PFWJSLZ...

I don't think I have any space to set up another table. Space in general has been our big problem. We're actually working with an architect right now to renovate our house and add a second floor. We just have no space to even breathe here, and it's not like we can afford to buy a new house in...

That's great news! Glad to hear she's going to be OK. :D

Just got my shipping notice a little while ago. Supposed to arrive Wednesday. I have Thursday and Friday off next week, so should have some time to check it out over the long weekend. Now I just need a place to set it up. As I glance at the Unicron filling the one table where I might be able to...

It really doesn't ever get any easier. Timmy was diagnosed with kidney failure in 2019, just months after losing the other two from that trio, and we were told then it was unlikely he'd make it another year. We spent the next two years thinking he was nearing the end every time he started...

Menasor in general is a really odd case that lets him get away with something like this where none of the others really would. Obviously, he's got the cartoon giving him that style of cars attached to limbs, which none of the other combiners used. Even Superion was very much just the nose and...

I really dislike the cartoon Menasor combination scheme. At least with him, there's a (bad) precedent for why it would be done that way. On anyone else? Ugh.

So I find it interesting that Blaster is WFC-K44. I'd expected that if he ever did materialize as a Kingdom release, he'd be WFC-K36. Now that he's been revealed as #44, that means that not only is #36 still unknown, but there's presumably a #43 also. Have there been any other rumors about...

Yeah, I remember that rumor. Didn't make a lot of sense then, and makes even less now. I also never liked that idea because that would mean the sole Commander slot each year would be taken for the rumored annual combiner, and there are other bots I'd like to see as Commanders. Like Deathsaurus...

Blaster looks good. Eject raises a lot of questions. Is he the same size as Soundwave's WfC cassettes? Are they interchangeable? Or is this a new scale for the same gimmick? If they're not interchangeable, are the upcoming leaked Soundwave and SS86 Rumble an indication that Soundwave and all...

That's pretty much what I expected when we first heard the rumors of a Commander-class Motormaster. There just wasn't any other way it really made sense to have a Commander class bot combine with Deluxe limbs. The combiner hands and feet just aren't enough to justify selling a Voyager-sized bot...

Oh, that reminds me of something I'd thought of a while back. This is a hobby where we're collecting plastic figures over 35 years old in some cases. Durability is a top concern for much of the fandom. We get all the same quality concerns about transparent plastic, gold plastic, thin plastic...

My family's been doing just about everything we could for the past year and a half to stay safe. We've barely set foot in stores and haven't eaten in a restaurant since last March. We always mask up everywhere. My wife's drilled it into the kids to the point they would throw a fit if other...

Some recent Generations figures have featured alternate head tooling with different faces or heads that are still applicable to the original figure. For example, the WfC seekers, Beast Wars figures with mutant heads, etc. While it's possible for a good customizer to swap these heads around and...

I graduated from college back in December of 2001. During that first year out of school, I moved to San Diego to start my career, my now-wife graduated, we got married, she joined me out in San Diego, and we started looking at cats so she'd have someone to keep her company at home while I was at...

Yeah, I'm aware of the European expansions, but I'm not any more familiar with them than the US-exclusive expansions. I'm really just familiar with the two that were available everywhere. Would be nice if those could get revisited too.
