After many years of talking about it, Wave 1 of the Plastic Crack Dot Com purge will be starting shortly.

I spent the weekend cleaning up the basement and arranging space so I can start unpacking boxes and deciding what goes.

I can't believe I am so close to starting the actually removal of robots from this house!!!

I'm thinking of doing it in waves of 10-15 figures or so. That way I can make it manageable as well as get things shipped out if they are purchased.

I'll post links to figures for sale as they come up.

I hadn't been into a We Be Toys in ages.

We were up at Polaris the other day and decided to go into the new TRU there.

And behold... they had Shockwave in Muggs form.

And of course... it being the one-eyed purple smart-ass of Cybertron and also my favorite character I had to have him.

The only thing is... the smooth head just leave something.

He's like 80% awesome. He's be 100% if he had his ears.

True... they were able to repaint the Bumblebee into Jazz ok with the "horns". However I can't think of any other robot that would have worked with Shockwave's "ears".

Oh well.

I'll always have my beloved custom Munny.

Happy New Year Robonerds!

So. I'm off to the far wastelands that are northwest Ohio!

Merry Christmas!

May the Krampus avoid you this year.

I leave you with a picture of the single worst wrapping I have ever done.

Thankfully, my cousinling won't care.

Just to be on the safe side I went ahead and reserved a room for the GRC.

I've never been to Florida. Never really wanted to go.

However, I'd kinda like to go to Epcot and stuff.

My god! Even in the package he's beautiful.

Takara really knows how to do transparent figures! He's goddamn pretty!

He and Crystal Convoy will make sweet sweet love on the shelf together.

Looks like he's number 2222 in the collection too.

I've been out of the TF loop for at least 6 months now.

I haven't gone into a forum since before Botcon and I haven't been to a TF website for some time.

Imagine my surprise today in coming across Mastercollectables Nova Prime and Wheeljack kits today.

Damn!

Those are nice!

A Transformer I've had on order for what seems like a year now will arrive tomorrow.

So at least week's Pierogi Day my friend Forest presented me with a set of embroidered Transformers symbol napkin linens he made!

I have enough for a seating of 8!

Bad craziness!

TFU Universe Windrazor, Ransack, Stockade, Overcharge, Sky Shadow, Scanvenger, Longview, Snow Cat, Treadshot, and Crosshairs. So... Ya think Hasbro is gonna trot out Mini-Con repaint sets every time they need to keep some names in use?

Found this the other day. Some of them are pretty cool repaints.
