Gobots were $4. I can't imagine them being over $10 adjusted for inflation (150% markup). That still beats $12 mass retail toys made for children. And it blows away the $16 they actually cost.

Yikes...Those plane modes make ROTF Jetfire look streamlined.

Is this the first step becoming a MISB collector?

The first step is buying two of the same figure...one to keep, one to "sell". The second step is doing it again with a second figure while you still have two of the first one. Repeat as needed.

The first step is always holding yourself back from opening the packaging. The first step never ends.

The Toynami gets my vote. Except for the skinny wings, it strikes a very good balance between the cartoon and original toy.

P.S. Not hatin'.

Why are the red lion's front legs not tucked in like the green lion's in robot mode? Transformation error?

Probably because Voltron's elbow is bent sharply and the lion leg was moved for clearance.

Kane from Highlander Endgame. He really relished the role. Underwhelming movie, great villain.

the head/face sculpt is kind of cool and different though.

Yeah. Looks like John Romita, Jr. designed the face.

Newbury Comics in New Jersey? Haven't seen one of those since leaving Boston.

Much as I like it, I can't get anything in that price range right now. Release date-wise, it's too close to Magnus and Saber.

My local TRU has some new stuff. I picked up Jhiaxus and the Optimus Evolution 2-pack.

Also, for those interested in MP Ratbat, minus Soundblaster: KO Ratbat exists.

Seriously, the guy's quit after every Transformers movie, but every time Hasbro and Paramount want another one, there he is.

I know Skids, Kup, & Springer..Who are these other guys?

Sandstorm and Broadside. Get it? Broadside is a broad.

Oh. Oh! I thought they were one and the same until you posted that pic, Tober. Sheesh...alot of 3rd party bandwagoning these days.

Not fond of MP Bumblebee's head, either. The figure looks fine, though. Better than the Classic or any 3rd party version. They just need to sharpen up the face, make the mouth smaller, get that derpy look off his face and de-Nerf his horns.

Someone email anime52k8 to let him know that his MW account got hacked.

-b.

Hacked by Goyer...

I thought it was Robocop from that small picture!

It's a thumbnail. Gotta click on it to see what's what.

"Did you...did you guys hear something? "

David Goyer is a member here?

Now that was a horrible movie.

Green Lantern wasn't so horrible. It could have been alot better, though. I would rank it around level of the first Fantastic Four movie.

Made me think of this:

Are you ready for the goat?

Naaaah-ah-ah-ah...

Is it the "fantasy world" outtake?

Holy crap! It takes all that in order to get a redo of Green Lantern?

Tracker's mask could do everything any of the other masks did. That's why it was called Spectrum.

The wiki says otherwise. There were two versions of the Spectrum mask, each with different abilities, which could be what gave you the impression that it can do everything.
