This'll probably sound "americanist" but you know it has been slow in TF news lately when TF websites post galleries of pictures of multi-lingual international boxes.
It has been pretty slow here in the Attic of Love™ too. So in honor of the slowness, I'll pointlessly write about crap I've seen elsewhere.
I was putz'n around non-forum content of some TF sites lately and came across some pics and such that are pretty cool, especially some kitbashes and customs.
This custom Energon Ravage is great. I'm still no fan of the bot mode but that paint deco makes Ravage look... how do the kids say... bad ass!
A Hotspot made from RID Prime is still a great idea. This was rumored during the OTFCC days that this would be a GRC exclusive but that didn't materialize with the collapse of 3H.
This Alternator Cheetor is fun!
I'd drop the cash on this Alternator Streetwise too. I always wanted to do a story exploring police/detective mentalities using the various TF police car bots. It sounds silly but I'd be perfectly happy with real stories told using the TF universe as a metaphor. Plus, anime G1 Streetwise had the strangest lips ever. We need more of that!
This Beast Wars Transmetal Grimlock is really awesome too.
I'd die to add these custom figures to my collection: Blaster PVC, custom Scourge PVC, custom Twincast PVC, custom Mirage PVC, and this custom Hot Rod and Daniel.
Yeah. Pretty lame today here.
I agree, the TF news, especially in regards to upcoming plastic crack releases has been extremely slow.
*yawn*
But I suppose on the positive, it means I can "save" some money, especially since it is the holiday season. :)
STILL looking for the Classics mini-cons, the universe aerialbots, & hoping that Titanium Rodimus will be released soon!
If you have Big Lots I'd try them for the Aerialbots. That's why I found mine of all places.
Love the custom PVCs. I think that's the same guy that made the Sludge PVC. He also made a Devastator that's properly scaled with most of the PVC line.
Thanks for the tip Nala - just checked my local Big Lots and they had crap. Just 2 TF Universe Steamhammers.
:(
That sucks.
I know the Big Lots near me didn't have them but then I drove out to one (also next door to a Toys R Us) and they had them.
For a Kay-Bee Exclusive I think it is funny I found them in a Big Lot.
