Asking someone to help you make a hand made gift is better than store bought sometimes.

I only need nine more issues to complete my 1980s marvel comic run.

I wish I bought all the issues at Tramps (old comic store franchise of sorts in Saskatchewan) when I visited years ago. They were all in perfect condition. After I lost all my comics in 2007 I never bothered to pick up physical comics again until the Skybound comics. Love to get them all in 7.0 to 9.0 at least and put them on my Transformers shelf. Not sure if I'll get the physical copies of the individual UK comics, I'm happy with the collections.

Definitely agree, but it is unfortunate that outdoors exploration is diminishing and now you have people solely ordering from online, for better or worse. There's a uplifting feeling of satisfaction finding something you genuinely want in-person that simply purchasing it from online can't replicate that. But it also isn't helping that more stores are going out of commission and you essentially have no choice left but to order it from your home. Not to be too gloomy however, i do wish everyone a great christmas and perhaps next year will start getting better for the Transformers after these last few years appeared dim

It's too warm for snow and the snow we have left has already almost completely melted. ... Gonna need to ask Wheeljack for another weather machine.
Oh yeah, Merry Christmas.
Love the Lord Jesus.
May your spark always shine.
Keep Ravage away from the Christmas tree.
Keep Swindle away from the gifts under the Christmas tree.
And don't forget to bring Cosmos back in for cookies and energon ham.
 
my intention of making my daughter think i'm nice backfired as my tidalwave did not arive on time.
now she tells me i'm on santa's naughty list.


it does not help that my wife did get something. she is going yo rub this in and tell her i got it myself later is she?
 
re-ordering the bins, and came back on these two.
a prime example of them forcing molds to be something they are not; age of extinction grimlock and optimus prime(but really fall of cybertron grimlock and dark of the moon optimus.)
the overuse of crome is a fine example how badly a figure wears out when coated with it, not only does the slightest scratch make it flake, the pegs also make it impossible to transform in that part is coated with it.

now i hear you saying" why is prime wielding g1 predaking's sword?"
i got no idea. they just had the idea to give him one without sculping a new sword or giving him one from one of the other toys.

It doesn't feel like this was a little over 10 years ish ago but the g1 color FOC grimlock is one of the coolest figures and I'm still kicking myself over not getting this 2 pack when it was on clearance.

I ordered a thrust from target, he's somehow in stock online and already on clearance unless either status of that changed after I sent this message. The few I've seen in store when I had no money for things were sometimes weirdly dinged up and warped in the chest area so it's a complete gamble what I'm gonna get. Shipping went from saying free with the estimated arrival date of the 31st to 6 dollars with the estimated date of january 3rd so I still paid way more than I wanted to, shit was 40 dollars (as opposed to 43 plus shipping and tax making it 50 like the new price for voyager would be but still)

Too bad I wasn't there for it in store, buy the time I get the right time setup to be able to check a place that had stuff in stock it's probably gonna be gone and scalped on ebay. Lots of figures weren't online that I'd have gotten if they were available, young alpha trion for one I did actually see in sores ONCE, and the bizarrely vaporoua reissue of the target earthrise runabout peopel heard was coming out with the reissue of runamuck they decided to make walmart only for some reason only for that one's price to be hiked to the new deluxe price.

Really weird how fast they're clearing out the figures, targets by me barely stocked anything other than armada red alert and animated wasp, weirdly at the newer prices earlier this year so I didn't get them but now it's back down to the original pre-hike price at the targets by me but nowhere to be found the last like 2 months. Walmart also flipped around going from the og prices tot he hiked ones around the same time. I don't know what the actual fuck is going on with this shit but I hate it.

The ss86 hot rod based on the blu ray movie release's somewhat weirdly blue-ified and washed out colors that's coming out next year is apparently inching towards $50 for just a few new accessories that lack paint, and mind you the reason he's the price he was was for "deluxe with more engineering=voyager like how legends with extra engineering=deluxe". So that's 50 for a deluxe. Glad to have the OG release of him because jesus fucking christ I am not paying that much for the guy as nice as the figure looks.
