Today is another Columbus Toy Show.
Two years ago today we had that awful wind storm right as the show closed down that left most of the city without power for a week.
Giga is setting up with a friend to try and get rid of the last of his 7 bins of toys.
I've given up bothering to try and sell robots there. Not worth all the effort.
I may go down though just to see what is around.
No doubt the same old shit.

I figured that I may as well update the blog software since I'm dealing with all the problems of being hacked so I upgraded to the latest Movable Type. Looks like there is some Twitter and Facebook stuff I could activate too.
Too bad I'm not a regular toy blogger any more. That could have really come in handy several years ago.
Of course...neither Facebook or Twitter were really used back then.
Several long forgotten Word Press installations apparently had been hacked and various pages were serving phishing sites. My host killed the various sites and I finally got around to deleting things and restoring some stuff.
So...
I'm back.
For what it is worth...
Still not sure why I bought him. I already own the original Takara Masterpiece Grimlock. Hell... he's even taken a dive off the shelves on occasion.
Maybe he'll go back.
He is and always will be Hot Rod!
Hasbro isn't using plastic-coated metal twist ties to lock the toys into their packages anymore!
I'm rather shocked at this change of events.
Now what the hell will Chester drag out and start playing with at 3am?
I'm a huge fan of the late 80s Japanese-only designs and lo and behold Drift here has a head design that would totally fit in with a lot of Transformers Victory and Zone.
So I bought the recent Hasbro Thrust not realizing I had spent a shitload of money back on Henkei Thrust last year.
Honestly... I don't know what I own any more.
