  1. I'm typically of the mind where, "One doesn't mess with the classics". My nuggets might have had a new packaging last night but they were still dipped in good old Sweet&Sour, been that way since I was getting HappyMeals.
  2. Had they included both Rewind and Eject in solid colors, I would have bitten, a third time on Blaster. As is, I'll wait for either the Core Class or Gen Selects Combo; or simply do without.
  3. They really missed an oportunity with this Hound release. While I think reissuing the other figures is a nice touch for those who missed out initially or just want to update to the sturdier figures is great, they really missed a chance with this one after the leaks of Devestator dropped. Why not package him with a big non-transforming Bot that made Devestator leak all over himself; finally giving us one of Hound's holograms. Rant over; bring on the Combiners!
  4. Essentially; Nobunaga has come and gone, Hideyoshi just recently passed and we are dealing with the same fall-out that followed in real life; underage heir technially will rule but the Regents who were put in place to hold the power for him would much rather just take it for themselves. English Blackburn is just there to stir the pot up every possible way, so far.
  5. I seem to recall an incident in 87' where a kid was killed with a Laser Tag gun in hand. What pistol was ever manufactured that had an enclosed hand grip and just as large as a Desert Eagle .50; not saying they aren't out there but they are so few and far between that the term "common use" doesn't enter into the conversation. So sci-fi guns can still be misidentified, unfortunately. While a G1 fan only, I always found Megatron turning into a gun to be, well, silly. Yes, once transformed he is an incredibly powerful weapon, but at the mercy/will of whoever holds him. What size is he when transformed, sometimes he seems to have a small barrel, other times he can fit a massive power device into the barrel and boot into the atmosphere. Also didn't help that the scope was the actual arm's fusion cannon. Was it a clever feat of engineering for it's time; you bet, was he a must own, no. Galvatron made far more sense to me, at least as an artillery piece he can aim and fire himself and the "Big Gun" concept carries over into Bot mode. Seeing as the show went out of it's way to not transform either of the baddies, make them mobile artillery, it makes far more sense; even on Cybertron. Besides, Astrotrain tugging around Meg's just sits right with me at least.
  6. Just finished-up Amazon's Zorro and was pleasantly surprised. The show is filmed in Spanish but Amazon does provide a dubbed English track. The show mainly sticks to the typical Zorro story but did throw in a Native aspect that I haven't encountered before; it adds to the mystique while also providing addition drama. Action scenes kind of go all over the place; some fights are very technical, while others, editing does the work; the Mexican Army isn't full of idiot's this time around so, it has that going for it. No one is going to win an Emmy but performances are for the most part, good. It's not going to compete with Mask of Zorro or even the Legend of Zorro; but it does beat out the old Family Channel show, which is where I really came into enjoying the character as a whole. Overall, worth checking out at a bare minimum.
  7. You're further along than I am; I find that for career mode I only have about 2-3 races in me before I tire of the rinse-and-repeat anymore. Practice is a double-edge sword, either cut it short because you know the track and lose out on XP or suffer through the 10+ extra minutes so that by the end of the series the vehicle in question is all but maxed out. I am impatiently awaiting the release of the "Green Hell" this coming Spring.
  8. Anyone lapping around on the latest Forza Motorsport? Don't play Multiplayer that often but I'm always looking for more Rivals. Had a group on FM7 that did a weekly Hot Lapping challenge with winner choosing track, car, and P.I. and occasionally a specific "tune"; though given the new "unlock" feature of tuning that may need rethinking. Still adapting to the newer physic's but still maintaining a 75-95% world wide ranking on official Rivals, depending on track, car class. Looking forward to chasing some of you down or at least getting frustrated in an attempt.
  9. Not sure how or where this guy fits in, genre wise, but I'll take the mix and heart.
  10. That's pretty much exactly how I justified the purchase; 14.99 for the chair and a free figure with some extra bits. Takara Tomy's Leadership set suddenly isn't near as appealing as it was just a few days ago. Silverstreak was one I also already had, unfortunately, because there is no local Target, I paid a premium; so seeing him for a Lincoln kinda poured salt in a wound I wasn't aware of.
  11. Ollie's is worth checking out if you have one in your area. They have lots of Silverstreak from the Buzzworthy line and I couldn't pass up on Coronation Starscream for a whole $14.99.
  12. McFarlane is doing a Page Punchers run; with the mini figures to start. Two per comic: Optimus & Shockwave/Soundwave and Megatron & Bumblebee. The real question becomes which comic run are they using? The new comic run already has a slated list of 30+ cover variants, might these simply be two of them?
  13. Displacer Beast is a decent figure, though it makes the previous Guenhwyvar release look like a typical panther now. The tentacles do have a wire inside, so some poseablity is attainable. The legs have plenty of articulation, ,though with six of them to mess with, it takes awhile to achieve a pose. As far as monster figures go, this one is good, just not as good as the Owl Bear in my estimation. That one has some heft behind it on top of it's size and just about all the acticulation one could want; it can pull off the looking behind itself, just not on all fours.
  14. Dying Prowl is a Buzzworthy SS release, so I've heard, and the code indicates yet another two-pack release. So is it Ratchet or Brawn to keep the "Dying" aspect of the pack going?
