You're telling me! Been working on my Hot Wheels '84 autobot project lately. I've planned it forever, but when Mattel announced they were actually making a Bumblebee and Prime, I knew it was time to get my butt in gear. I've only finished a couple, but I'm making progress. Right now, I'm...

After looking at my shelf, the MP3-mold Thundercracker and Skywarp looked really bad next to DS Starscream. He ruined me. Thus I looked all over for the other two seekers from Deformation Space, and the best price I could find was about $120/ea. Real bummer. However, while searching...

Spectacular work!

Right?! I downloaded a 4k remastered version that puts my Blu-ray rip to shame. And it's wide-screen. That's the version that lives forever on my media server. Glad they liked it. Made my kids go see it in the theater with me on the 30th (35th?) anniversary... whichever one they put it back in...

Finally got around to opening Deformation Space Starscream. It's embarrassing how much better he looks than whatever MP-3 mold reuse I've been rocking. Not gonna transform him because his place on the shelf is in bot mode. No frills, no accessories, no extra parts to lose, no instructions...

Vala really does make awesome figures. They are easier to customize than Classified, and the females in particular are... beefier. not fat, but they feel substantial compared to the ultra skinny hasbro females. Put your jinx next to a hasbro girl and she'll look like she'd snap the official...

FYI, if you're ordering from Pulse, their system is shitting the bed. Nobody in the 4:00 Premium window could check out and kept getting a server busy error. Someone suggested using paypal, and it worked. And supposedly they don't charge you up front using paypal like some retailers. Fingers...

Yes, underwhelming is the right word. WTF, they didn't get to all the reveals, but they showed off the side-scrolling video game, the Hall of Fame inductees, and a lame wannbe PSA. It's almost as if this wasn't about the toys. I'll be getting all the figures... especially Starduster. Even...

The HISS had the benefit/detriment of having an early-bird figure that everyone got if it funded in the first week. Of course, it funded in like 8 hours, so that was cool. But it also may have gotten people to back the campaign a little early, as there was some confusion at the time about...

Just in case anyone wanted to see the data: The things this data doesn't incorporate is the time of year that all of these campaigns took place as well as the timing of any other Haslabs running at the same time. Sometimes they run them late in the year and end up competing with holiday...

Update... books lookin' good. Should ship in Dec. Merry Christmas to me!

This morning it's over 28k... maybe counted in some international orders or bulk orders? Either way, it beat my expectations and eclipsed the dragonfly and the HISS. It's interesting that it didn't take off like a shot as the other two did but finished stronger. I guess there is still more to...

Over 13 hours to go, and the Rattler is over 22k. There should have been another stretch!

It feels like this line is actually happening...

Hahaha, I tried day-trading once, but it was back in the days of low funds and high brokerage fees. I "made" money but ended up paying as much in trading fees as I made in stock picks. I prefer buying real estate now. It can't disappear overnight like stocks. But yeah, 2-1/2 days to go, and...

Maybe. But as soon as I buy this one, I know they'll come out with a correct light blue one. And then they'll do a retro version of the light blue one, but it'll have little short toy gloves. And then they'll do one with the correct gloves, but it won't be on a retro card either, and the line...

Weird, my reaction was just the opposite. That blue is way too dark and saturated. It's practically the same color as the ultra-saturated retro trooper (I'm getting a few troopers, but they're going to have to be in a unit by themselves, can't mix with the other blueshirts). What happened to...

It certainly looks legit... It's a weird frankenstein of Halo and CoD parts. The legs and upper arms are CoD sculpts, but the chest, lower arms, and waist are Halo parts. Historically parts from the two grounds aren't all that compatible, but maybe they did some mods on the tooling to make it...

The yellow text just means that if you ordered 10 figures in the KS, your store credit will get you at least 10 figures worth of products in the store. It just might not be the products you wanted because they can't say if/when those items will be released. Well, as Dan and I have discussed in...
