    319 episodes in the bag and im kinda shocked none of us fans play along with the "what we got this week" in the comments section. maybe it was something that used to happen as ive only become a recent listener of the show but it would be an interesting little discussion for us after the podcast. gives a somewhat interactive feel.

    as for me with on topics i got a generations roadbuster which i really like. i didn't apply much of the decals only a few. i was afraid he'd look to cluttered and his arsenal is cool. i like all the ports and such so placement of the weapons can vary and really make him individual though i wish there was a "mega weapon" combonation. i can port all the guns together but it ends up looking like some ridiculous gun rob liefeld would give to cable in the 90s xforce.

    i also got an AOE lockdown. i wish he was bigger.....kinda disappointed in him. but he can face gun so there's that.

    nothing off topic this week.

    if this doesnt catch on i'll stop.

    The mere existence of the term "face gun" is amazing by itself, but you even managed to use it as a verb!

    Regarding the question of whether or not designers get any cut of the profit from the Hasbro and Shapeways partnership program(SuperFanArt), designers get approximately 21% of the price of the units sold.

    From an example of used by Shapeways co-founder and CEO, Peter Weijmarshausen, a $30 product would be broken down like this:

    Hasbro's cut is $3.50 for the licensing fee.

    The designer's cut is $6.50 for their work.

    Shapeways' cut is $20 for facilitating the printing, shipping, and all other costs of being the storefront for the operation.

    To put it another way, for every unit sold, the designer gets roughly 21% of the sales, which seems to be potentially lucrative for the designer should their work sell well.

    Oh Seth Buzzard, you are so above it all and so kewl. I wish more podcasters could be like you. :rolleyes2  You're talking about toys dude, so try to stifle your jaundiced monotone when it comes to any topic that isn't of direct interest to you. Somehow you find time to bash on MOTUC collectors AND the TF movies, almost in the same breath. Dood, you got skillz.

    Tedious and yawn- these are words I would use to accurately describe your jaundiced boredom-laced verbal nothingness.

    This just makes me appreciate Seth's comments even more.

    I don't know about "jaundiced monotone", but this post screams "douchebag linguistics."

    Jaundiced can mean to be biased or possess a view distorted by envy or resentment. I don't agree with Stygian360's post...I think that's what he intended with his use of the word.

    Just sayin'.
