  1. Well speaking of the Toxitron/G2 lineup, I was at my local walmart picking up some stuff for dinner and I had come across Cloudbreaker, Jazz, Mirage, Sideswipe and surprisingly, Deadend. I almost pickedup Mirage and Jazz but really what I wanted was the G2 Deadend, so I skipped the other two. Truthfully I absolutely dislike the Neon colors the others have....if they broke the colors up a bit more I would had gotten those figures as well.....but when I was looking at them surprisingly Sideswipe and Deadend were the only good looking ones out there. So I guess for now I'm sort of invested in the G2 Menasor lineup meaning I now have to huntdown Shadowstrip. That's not gonna be fun he's sorta expensive, never even came across him at all versus the other Velictron sets.
  2. personally I'm gonna always like the Generations Pax figure cause it stayed fairly close I think to the IDW one shot. I'd like to get the 2 pack with Alpha Trion....which is weird but yeah it's mostly just for the G1 side of me. This latest Orion variant man I knew I recognized the mold but I care so very little for the Seige Cybertron line up that it never dawned on me it was Hound. I will say though that out of all the pre-earth figures out there, the MCC Optimus is still my favorite even though it's a third party. The colors are nice, the details are sharp, the headsculpt is one of my favorite and makes me feel like it was worth the money paid for....which is odd when the next MCC release was I think Star Convoy and I heard that was pretty trashy. But overall I'm glad I decided to actually cancel the other 2 pack, I couldn't afford it with what I just did to my car this week and I'm flat broke lol.
  3. Mercury was a damn shame to have gone in the direction it did, when we all saw the prologue episode I think we all went "Wow this could be neat!" followed by a bait and switch. It felt like the premises of a school program was a waste, characters that showed up were a waste and had no development, the "climax" was a waste at that, taking no ground or affecting any change. It was lazy writing, lazy character progression, just lazy lazy lazy, was this written by AI or something? I mean damn.
  4. First episode was okay, kinda liked the direction it was going. episode 2 I thought felt lazy and rushed, also felt the editing on it was fairly poor.
  5. I ended up breaking my tyranny pack open. I actually like the little bits of retooling they did to the seige mold, basically new chest, abdominal, front shoulders (rear half is the same) and a new head sculpt that’s pretty sharp. even included a comparison between origins, seige and my G2. not seeing any knee issue, infact overall the joints all the way around are tighter than either of my other two megatrons, and nothing seems out of place that I can tell.
  6. Ya know, I am fairly curious after so many years with the start of the generations line WHY we don’t have a Gears? He’s gotta be the only stinking character at this point from the original character lineup who has yet to get a new figure. MAYBE now that we are getting a Brawn, Gears will be around the corner…..as a hasbropulse/Walgreens/Walmart/target of some sort exclusive. Or Botcon. I’ve sorta been itching to wanting to buy another bumble bee and cliff jumper set so I can tear them apart and candy coat them into their G2 schemes….they need it.
  7. Lemme know what you end up getting in the mail then. I was very surprised the set I had canceled was the set I received. I'm not gonna complain to amazon over it though....I didn't really care for this recent iteration of Orion Pax when the old Generations variant was way nicer. Though truthfully I would much rather have the Hero is Born set and
  8. I'd like to go see it, I've never turned down an indy movie even if it wasn't all that good....I just always liked Indiana Jones. Sadly though, finances have been tough after putting one cat down and the other having to get medical assistance himself for kidney issues. Which bummed me out, I've been racking hours at work like crazy after we let someone go and wanted to do some upgrades to my car!
  9. So yesterday I was checking my account and was doing my budget when I had noticed a $75 charge from amazon. Couldn't think what it was so I popped on took a look and one of the 2 legacy packs had shipped, shockwave/orion set. I went "Aw crap....I forgot about these I didn't really want them....". So I went ahead and canceled the Tyranny set and thought maybe I'd set the other set some day. Well what was scheduled for Thursday next week ended up being today and when I opened the box low and behold......it's the Tyranny set....the set I had just canceled that wasn't supposed to be released until August! Not sure if there was a mix up and that was supposed to be the set originally to release followed by the other or what. Oh well!
  10. So I guess is this even worse bothering? I just saw the new Spider-verse film and didn't honestly care for it all that much...probably because it's a two parter and I felt it was to slow yet rushed.
  11. OR they'll use it as a tax write off just like WB did with Batgirl and it'll never see the light of day. Wouldn't be a surprise considering so many potentially good shows just never get purchased from other outlets.
  12. I guess just announced that Prodigy and a handful of other paramount+ shows have now been canceled and will also be removed from the streaming service.
  13. I’m gonna say it, I didn’t care for this one. Bumblebee surprised me when it came out just in those first few minutes. the film was rather boring, poorly edited, the visuals were out of place with bad motion blurs and generic designs.
  14. I had a chance to scan over the english dub a couple of weeks ago. Overall it wasn't bad. There's a number of A Grade voice talent attached to it, though the scripting did take some odd liberties that are different in the original script. Either case it was good, not the best, but good. As for video quality it seemed fine, but seeing how I had to watch it over an old computer I couldn't say for sure it was top notch. If I ever get the funds or come across it in person I'll probably end up buying it.
  15. Someway, somehow, Raiders is playing at my local theater. They wouldn't show ROTJ, but they'll show Raider's of the lost ark....go figure. Now, I do remember seeing The Last Crusade cause I was I think 6 or 7...and of course I did go and see Crystal Skull which I will continue to deny ever was an indy film. But the biggest memory for me was when you went to Mcdonalds and you purchased like a meal or something you could get the VHS tapes....I think we had to go as a family and purchase each video individually though. But we went home and we all watched the movies while having dinner. Those were actually fun times I think.
  16. The loss of the Galactic Star Cruiser doesn't surprise me. Their announcement to the project seemed so grandios and destined to either get scrapped or just fail by cutting corners and being cheap. The set designs were dull and not very star wars-ish to me, the cast was bland, the food looked eh, and the price was outrageous....I see it like that scene in the beginning of Jurassic Park where they're all sitting at the table and the lawyer is talking about all the thousands of dollars people will wanna spend to have this experience. But you got Hammond saying he wants this to be open to everyone as it needs to be shared all around, but the lawyer talks about coupon days and all that BS. Something in Disney's mind was thinking like the lawyer. And all of us were Hammond, we'd like to check it out and experience it, but we can't afford it. Which is what's leading to the downfall of this attraction.
  17. While I was digging around and poking at the images that were released on the new WFC characters I said to myself to just avoid these and really cherish the old ones more. I'm almost certain that Toyhax will come up with some ways of really making areas of say, Bumblebee pop more, him, prime and barricade just don't do it for me...they're to kibble heavy where I didn't really feel that in their old toy variants. Though I do wish I had gotten more into the Planet X stuff as I thought they had really nailed the chunkiness their designs were back then. Sorta just kicking myself not joining in on that.
  18. Ya know, I think I can kind of understand why they didn't go with the TOS styling. Someone or group would of been offended.
  19. I thought the original name of the Enterprise A was the Yorktown? The finale was okay, but overall was very disappointed that the Enterprise-F didn't get much of any screen time for those of us who were fans of the Odyssey class. I also feel that the rename to such a ship design was sorta a big step down.
  20. I had a lil extra few bucks on hand so I got up this morning to just get some kitty litter, allergy meds and some coffee. But I figured I'd stop by the toy section at one of my local walmarts and see if anything had popped up. They had some of the last wave I guess of figures but there wasn't anything new. I was hoping more to find a G1 Hound re-issue but alas they only had nothing but Starscream. Tons of Jhiaxus though, that kinda surprised me. After I had gotten my supplies there I figured I may as well go to Target across the freeway and took a look there. At first I was a bit bummed, there were a ton of 86 Ironhide's....it was either 7 or 9, I just remember it was an odd number. They had Needlenose, Crashbar and Scraphook, 2 Galvatrons, 1 Sludge, a few Earth Sparks I had zero interest in. But what caught my eye was about 8 Pre-earth Jazz's. Which surprised the heck out of me cause mine was still on Pre-order from the website. Quickly got on my account, canceled that order and picked it up. It's not a bad figure, he's at least got a lot less kibble going on than Bumblebee did...I dig his alt-mode a ton and the simplicity of his transformation back and forth between modes. I thought for a moment his fists were pushpinned as I had intended to swap those out with his 86 variant but I don't think that's going to be possible as his are just pop out and I believe the 86 is pinned. There's also something I didn't expect....his hips are not exactly free moving or ratch based, they're kind of just like I don't know the term some sort of soft click so there's a limited amount of angles to choose from when posing. I mean either case I like the figure, and I might repaint the grapple hook and blaster to look more accurate. But man, if there isn't a wheeljack version seeing how he's the last of the shown pre-earth characters I will be severely disappointed. Now then.......I just wanna wait until I see some G2 stuff come along.
  21. Man, there was far to much crap in all of this that could of easily been trimmed down. We had all this filler and fluff that really brought out NOTHING and then The last 2 episodes somehow were able to hurt me about as hard as my ex girlfriend leaving me with the dog and ice cube trays. I mean literally was going "WTF?! FILONI! BAD!"
  22. Mhm, it's a blink and you miss it, but it's there. The museum was a ton of easter eggs. Several I REALLY enjoyed including a little Enterprise series moment we never got to see on screen. And of course a little reference to Voyage Home.
