Only two out of five WalMarts in driving distance carry MOTU, and I actually did ask the ones that don't if they would be getting any in. In all cases, they no longer carried the line and could actually check a computer and tell that, so it's clearly not just a restock issue. And end result of...

There's some sort of theme here, but I can't quite place it...OH! I KNOW! "Toys that do not blend in with black furniture"!

I know 'distribution gripes' are common for any franchise, but when the store that is supposed to carry your exclusives discontinues the entire line on a store by store basis (this being Wal-Mart, many of which no longer carry MOTU at all in their stores, but in no consistent pattern) it...

I'm late for Halloween so I might as well roll the horror into being early for Christmas.

At the time I was thinking of those con cosplay groups where one girl only has the loosest idea of the character she's trying to do, but gets all the attention.

Also posted with a little tech-spec blurb in the Personal Canon thread, The Safari Ltd. armored T-Rex and Triceratops, used exactly as they came, no mods of any kind, work shockingly well. If no 3rd party steps up with a shell set, I am using these as-is.

This works way better than it should. Safari Ltd. armored T-Rex and Triceratops, used exactly as they came, no mods of any kind. If no 3rd party steps up with a shell set, I am using these with my own little head-canon alteration: Name: Spike and Trike Species: Tribrid Dinosaur...

It actually makes sense if you want the sense of 'size change' that no toy can actually accomplish. And don't get me wrong, I'm not stopping everything. Like recently, my nephew was watching the OLD movie (again and again) and so for Halloween for him, I got him the two-pack of dead Ratchet...

This reminds me... Or that time I used Shockwave and Shockwave to make a comic about Shockwave... But in the end, though, we all have a little Shockwave in all of us. Mostly the microplastics that will give us cancer later.

There is also, outside the cost and space issues, the simple fact that I am not getting any younger. And when I do have to go, do I want to leave a mountain of plastic that most of my family will have only the slightest idea what to do with? This is also why I'm judging a lot more strictly on...

"They've gone to PLAID..." "Shut up, Wreck-Gar." "I sawed this boat in half!" "That's just the continuity, now stop it."

I know what you mean on money...right now anything that can be a car payment IS a car payment...

I'll keep my CW Devastator with the Toyhax cell-shade windows (the only labels I ever put on them) for now. Reason being, for all the justified complaints, they ARE really sturdy, and I have a nephew who is REALLY ramping up his Transformers interest, so it can't hurt to have something pretty...

That's why I thought of a Thunderwing/Bludgeon two pack, a MegaPretender big draw, and the smaller 'normal' Pretender (presumably with modern upgrades, however that might work). I mainly got the idea from how they did Omega Prime, and then mixed it with all the speculation threads. Seeing the...

Well, I like the Fallen/Megatronus a lot, though as usual I am iffy on rubbery flame effects given what they keep doing to the surrounding plastic on occasion, and I hope the staff/blade isn't a rubbery painted plastic that will turn sticky. I do hope it's 'stable', and is still around when my...

Oh, ok, I just saw it in the post and had no clue what toy line that was.

Too many TLA's that supposedly everyone knows but I don't. What's BST AXN?

I have a new goal.

Not sure it counts, but the car is a Prius 'Prime' so... I sort of lucked out as next year Toyota starts rebadging all the prior Prime models as just 'Plug-in', so not nearly as much opportunity for obvious fan stickering.

I think my one gripe (other than recently getting a real car and not being able to afford a toy one) is that a lot of the details for Ecto 1A are stickers, making it impossible to change it back and forth cleanly. Though I have no idea how that would be accomplished anyway without a removable...
