Okay, I didn't want to derail the actual HasLab thread with wild wishes and crazy ideas, so I thought I would start a thread where we throw out ideas for HasLab stretch goals to unlock. Any HasLab, any idea: I've seen some suggestions that micromasters Clipper and Riker would have made a good...

So, I recently acquired a partial GI Joe Snow Cat vehicle; like many used Snow Cats, it is missing the missile launcher, and because that part is prone to breakage, it would be fairly cost-prohibitive to make it complete. So, I started thinking about what I could substitute in its place. I...

So there have been a few varied discussions on the board that got me thinking about gimmicks on Transformers. There have been some great ones over the years, and there have been some...less than great ones. To start with, the idea of a toy that transforms, sorry, CONVERTS from one form to...

I am in the early stages of trying to put together an unofficial Top Trumps-style set of cards for Haywire3. (Top Trumps, if you haven't heard of them, are sets of themed cards with various numerical values on them that you play by comparing a particular value on each players cards). These will...

So, as I mentioned in the Anime thread, Haywire3 has been watching a lot of classic anime with me, and one of his particular favorites is Tetsujin 28 (aka Gigantor): So I got to thinking, now would be a great time to make a Tetsujin costume. Haywire3 could dress up as Shotaro Kaneda, and it...

So, I posted in the Anime thread that I have been watching a lot of anime recently with my son, Haywire3, who is 5-1/2, and this has forced me to think about my preferences between dubbed and subtitled shows. I grew up watching dubbed shows. From Godzilla and Robotech, to Speed Racer and New...

Since the wave seems to have been skipped in my area, I am looking for Legacy Axlegrease. I would prefer to trade, I have a few figures to pony up for trade stock, the primary one being a Toxitron Sideswipe, another would be Velocitron Quickswitch (from the boxset). If you are looking for...

So, I am in Dallas for a work conference for the next couple days, specifically at the Kay Hutchinson Convention center. Does anyone know of a local comic shop (or toy store!) nearby they would recommend that I might be able to check out if I get some time? Thanks in advance!

So, I know a few of you read Atomic Robo, if you haven't been checking recently, after a temporary hiatus, the website finally started updating again with the newest story. And, boy, there's a lot going on already!

So, I know we have some Thomas the Tank Engine fans here, so I thought it might be good to have a dedicated thread for stuff like this. The Family Museum in Bettendorf, Iowa had a traveling Thomas exhibit, and since my son, Haywire 3, just turned 4, we thought we would make the trip so he could...

Thought we had a thread for this, but couldnt find it. Discotek Media is releasing Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos the complete series on Blu Ray next month. Preorders are up on Amazon. I, for one, am excited. I have the 3 Central Park DVDs, and always wanted to finish the series. Its so...

I wanted to start a discussion of how members buying and collecting habits have changed in recent years. Do you still shop brick and mortar, or mostly online? Do you still even collect figures, or focus on artwork and fiction? Personally, I work in retail, and I made a commitment several years...

So, if anyone was having trouble getting the classic Batmobile Lego set, you might have a second chance: My local Walmart just put out a whole prepack display full of them as a 'walmart exclusive', so you might want to check your nearest Walmart. I cant speak for online shopping, but hopefully...
