    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    It’s $378 after tax and shipping which is at the extreme edge of what I’d pay. It has to be fully painted inside and out with the same care as the Barge before I’ll even consider it. The thing is 30” long and 20” wide, so right there with out prized 1:18 jets. I have a handful of tanks with...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    If the paint is as detailed as the Barge, I’ll be buying one. It’s really going to have to have everything painted, not like the original BMF in boring grey plastic.

    This is where KO-44 trumps the 3rd parties:

    Oops, it was the Magic Square that I wanted. TE-1 is the worst to my eyes. The pointy kneecaps and availability of the original colored MS is what kept me from buying it.

    I’m really glad I waited. As much as I like TE-01, I just couldn’t get past the knees and he actually costs more than KO-44.

    I immediately took the head apart and painted the eyes metallic turquoise, no clue why they left them unpainted. This is the first and probably last MP figure I’ll buy unless they do a V2 toon Sideswipe to go with his awesome brother. I definitely prefer the hyper real Optimus over the hyper toon.

    Very nice $100 figure. Probably never going to transform him and I appreciate that he is not painted unlike the real MP-44. ShowZ Store got him to me in 2 weeks. Edit: He did not come with instructions, so definitely never transforming him. 😅

    Most of the friends I made here were transplants from around the country, so we had a shared history.

    Takara Transformers

    It was especially abrupt since we were in elementary thru 6th grade in the west and they have middle school here which is 6-8, so I was dropped into the middle completely clueless of changing class rooms and having lockers. The timing really was perfect for me in hindsight since that is the age...

    It was a lot for sure since Redmond, WA was fatigues and dirt while Leawood, KS was all about how much money you had and how trendy you dressed. I finally found my place here after high school. Definitely made me not a coddled little shit teen/adult. Also opened my eyes to multiple realities...

    Takara Transformers

    I remember a bunch of episodes featuring organic aliens and Unicron’s orbiting head, but none of it deposited in the nostalgia banks. Also, I moved to Kansas the summer of ’87 and went from 6th grade in elementary to 7th grade in middle school. Those 2 huge changes ended my golden years of...

    That’s awesome. Guess I stopped watching shortly after the movie.

    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    Once Megabloks perfected the brick action figure, I turned my back on everything else. They gave me an LCAC and Harrier that barely show any studs and match the real life vehicles, so why bother with anything based on Lego minifigs?

    I think my brain confused them with the club crossover figures.

    I’ve seen those too. I wonder if Eddie ever bought them to go with his 1:18 Prime, Sideswipe and Devastator?

    I broke down and ordered KO MP-44 for $105. Should get him in about a month. Reviews look very positive.
