I have the XTB Breakdown on order. The DX9 version looks great, no question. I wish they'd both show their final gestalts so everyone could make informed decisions on appearance, size, and the major cost differences. And of course, the thing on everyone's mind: XTB is $40 vs DX9 being $100...

Thanks! I'm slow, but I have more planned. I'll post an update in 6-12 months :P Some of those early CoD sets, if they're complete, seem to command more than they should.

I'm not far behind you. I'm waiting on XTB Toro (Cliffjumper), and then I'm done with the S1 collection. And after wrapping up the Zeta aerialbots and probably XTB's menasor, I won't have much to pick up from later seasons either. Sure, I might pick up a new version here and there if...

I hope you're right about those waists. It would be a disturbing trend if it was intentional. I really do want to play around with a Takara Streaker. While the Omni figure is far from perfect, I can't pay retail for an upgrade/replacement figure that's going to need work just to break even...

Ha! That would be funny. Don't think I could fit two in there, but maybe a whale and something smaller like the VAMP or something. Note: There will not be a second WHALE under any circumstances :). That thing was a bitch to build. From the custom base, to the millions of sloped pieces... I...

Apparently I'm being left behind, as I didn't like the look of MP Megs or Streaker. They are 0-2 with this new aesthetic. I like good figures with nifty, clever designs. And if it was my job to fiddle with them all day, I'd probably be over the moon about the new ones. But when all I do is...

Nah, it's still in the box, mostly b/c I don't know where I'll put it when it's built. I have no doubt the MB craft is super-cool. But in my head, they really serve different purposes. The WHALE doesn't pretend to be a tank transport or anything so massive. It's more for small team...

After a long layoff, I've got some galleries up of my two latest Mega Bloks MP Joe vehicles. http://teletraanone.com/index.php/2018/04/23/g-i-joe-mega-bloks-killer-whale/ http://teletraanone.com/index.php/2018/04/23/g-i-joe-mega-bloks-awe-striker/

Hows the backpack? That and the head have really been holding back my enthusiasm for him. He's a little high-waisted, but not as bad as that BC figure. I can fix the head like I did on the omni, just need to pick up a junker CHUG for some donor ears. When the inevitable KO of this guy turns...

Glad you got Sphinx. I was lukewarm on him at first, but given the lack of other options to develop in the interim, I'm glad I picked him up. He's definitely very G1 toon. That official Sunstreaker though... woof. His noggin looks like Al Pacino from the Warren Beatty Dick Tracy film...

Yeah, I've got the OM Trailbreaker too. He's not perfect, but I thought he looked the best of the offerings, and I was really impressed how the chest gimmick works to narrow the front of the truck so he has a waist and doesn't have Ironhide's potbelly. Given the number of TB choices out there...

I bought a downbeat, repro-labeled him, and cut the front bumper martini racing sticker so that it reads properly in bot mode. I was very "meh" on him from just pictures, but in-hand, he's really grown on me to the point that I doubt I'd replace him if an official came along.

oh, f#% yeah! It's overdue, given that mattel owns MOTU and doesn't have to pay license fees. Hope this is the start of a successful sub-line. I'll buy anything they put out from the first three years of the original line, circa '82-84.

Yeah, and it looks like they might be removable. Could be a nice source of uncovered noggins that have been released sparsely in the past.

Better look at the nazis...

Lord no, it doesn't work when I try it! But when she acknowledges the root of the problem, she's usually correct.

I'm at 16 and counting. I've found that as long as I'm getting some twice a week, any and all martial issues seem trivial. In rare times of stress that cause frequency to dip, that's when shit gets magnified. My wife knows it too. We can be arguing, and she'll look and me and say, "clearly...

I had my first at 32. While I don't think I ever stressed out, I assume I was appropriately cautious. The second one definitely gets a longer leash though. I think that part is true for parents of any age. I don't think I'd want to have kids past 35 though. Now in my 40's, I'm starting to...

microscopic picture of CoD nazis...

I don't know, it was on etsy.
