Woops! I meant to include the whole set, thought Rampage was an extra and now that you mention it my extra Rampage is red not green so... yeah, this oversite will be corrected in the next shipment. With Kup's head or Tracks or Wreck Gar or whatever our next deal winds up being.
Haha, I thought so. Do you have his instructions laying around? Those would also be nice. :P (I don't know if Hasbro's website has them up, I haven't checked. Being unable to complete it, y'know.) Are the brown paint marks your doing, or did he come like that?

I love those things! I have the entire series of Nightmare on Elm Street DVDs; I paid $20 and got all of them in two neat cases. Where's this at? Wal-Mart, Target? (Although I gotta say, if it's missing vital special features I'll be pissy...)

Have you ever thought of deleting any of it? I mean, for a while there I would routinely clean out some of my stuff when I didn't actually need it. Do I need the entirety of Metallica's discography? Probably not, and if I decide I need any given song I can always just go and redownload it.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

Customizing yielded a Legends scale Bluestreak. (Shockwave pointed out that I need to make a few color corrections. I think that next week, I shall spend time touching up a few figures, including that one.)

And, another RTS for customizing. (This makes up for the one I am selling O6.) And, I found a couple of fodder figures that went missing.

Found it at Wal-Mart, and that's the only place I"ve seen it locally. It's got some special features: a couple of commentaries for each movie, some trailers, some other stuff. Well worth the purchase, in my view.

They're as is from the store (no customizing), I think I have the instructions somewhere. I'll look around.

Thing is, I had been putting off the need for one of these things via said routine cleanings. Mostly anime I was done with and movies I was only gonna watch once. But eventually things just got too amassed to delay the inevitable (getting more Kamen Rider series didn't help), plus I'm kind of a waffling packrat when it comes to this stuff anyway, so I would never be able to get myself to delete *enough* stuff in the long run.

Birthday Haul: Thundertank, Thunderracer w/ Tygra, and Deluxe Mumm-Ra. Thundertank's okay, I thought it was supposed to make different sounds depending on which 'Cat you put into it. Not so much, it's always Lion-O's voice no matter what. Weaksauce, I say. It also likes to split into its component parts way too easily. The Thunderracer is okay-- pretty much is what it is. Mumm-Ra's kind of fun, despite the obtrusive wing assembly.

The best part was after the gift-giving, my daughter wanted me to play My Little Pony with her (she got a much bigger birthday haul than me ;) ) so I had the Thundertank roll into Ponyville because the 'Cats were looking for Snarf. That adventure wrapped up pretty quickly, but the 'Cats got invited to the Royal Gala (based on her favorite FiM episode) when HOLY SHIT MUMM-RA ATTACKED. The 'Cats were helpless (Lion-O forgot the Sword of Omens in my toy room) but Twilight Sparkle used her magic to stop him... the first time. Soon afterward, Mumm-Ra attacked again, but this time my daughter had taken over the character, so there was no damn stopping him. He pretty much trashed everyone in sight, stabbing Lion-O repeatedly while he screamed for Twilight Sparkle's help, and her magic was no use this time. And then... well, it was time to go to bed, so I'll have to let you know how it all works out tomorrow.
I disappear.

Trade from TFW yeilded Titaniums 6" G1 Ultra Magnus and WST Red Alert. I've been curious about UM since I saw it... and I'm underwhelmed. I at least expected everything to peg together to stay in place but it doesn't.
