Well - Hana Hatae (Molly O) is 36-ish. I should be used to stuff like that now, but I'm not. Apropos of nothing, Bumper Robinson was a teenage Jem Hadar. (...and now that I typed that out, it sounds like a movie...)

It is fun to see bits of shared engineering or just "shared ways of doing __________," even years later, like seeing something that works the way the Alternators did way down the line.

Finding the middle ground with release windows/reissues/slight recolors is tough. It'd be great if the release windows were longer for some toys, so that more of us could get them. But having the same figure come up again seems to piss people off. Then again, we are talking about fans on a...

I think I remember something about that (unless I'm getting stories crossed in my head. I'm old.) Glad you got that one back in your collection - that's pretty cool.

It's sad to see her go. This was a nicely done write-up for her, though: https://www.npr.org/2024/09/27/1228377614/maggie-smith-dead

Totally thought that said "Greendale" for a second there.

Looks like it was fixed, though: https://dailymontanan.com/2024/09/23/montanas-overseas-voting-system-fixed-after-error-leaves-harris-off-ballot/

This is a minor thing many (many) posts later, but it's the funniest thing I saw in the whole thread.

We used to have Albertsons and Safeway. Safeway disappeared from this area a long time ago, but now the name belongs to Albertsons. We do have Fred Meyer, whose business model seems to be "Walmart but more expensive," and they're owned by Kroger. So they do sorta compete.

I was reading about this whole merger this morning in Morning Brew and thinking "they want to compete with Walmart . . . how about not charging way more than other stores for no apparent reason, and maybe having a better selection . . . ?"

Would that be "actively collecting" or "I've had these in my collection for a while?"

Not a bot. A nice kid with strong opinions like the rest of us, but not a bot.

Yeah, I'm kinda there, too. That's seriously cool.

Because the Legacy G1 Prime won't cost you an and a

Wheeljack would be a good option for Turbo. He's been re-released once or twice* between Earthrise and Legacy, maybe the next time could be in red. (With a different head.)(I need to go to bed?) As for Cop-Tur - maybe the Siege version? Part of his look was carrying his helicopter mode around...

They've accomplished one thing - people are talking and writing articles about a movie that we don't know much about and that won't be out for a year or so.

So - for Turbo - what would you think of Sunstreaker instead? He's got a little more of the "I'm wearing my car roof on my chest" thing. Also - I really want Major Mo to show up somehow. But I'm probably leading this thread in the wrong direction at this point . . .

Man, I die a little bit every time I see a quote like this.

On a bit of a tangent - I actually had a pen pal when I was on ATT 25+ years ago. We emailed back and forth fairly consistently for a year or two.

Possibly some Animated Bumblebee influence, too.
