^awesome. I think the extent of our was just "we are gathered here on this ghoulish evening"

finally opened ROTF bruticus...i dig him alot...except the weird 4 different shades of orange for his hands and feet...but whatever, he still looks dope...i think this one might get the YR upgrade kit...

YR's Robot Head's Corner

but we'll see...he definitely has the most g1 feel...i almost want another one now too...one for upgrade, one for not...but it'll look cool with my superlink bruticus...now i need energon bruticus...

I would hardly call them "hands and feet"

I can't wait for my upgrade. He's shipping on monday and tomorrow I plan on experimenting with removing pins with a soldering iron and give my testors acrylics their first go round!

I need to finish my Target masters!

sweet dude...removing pins seems hard...how do you even go about that?

Just buy the reissue. Seriously. Why pay less for a piece of crap when you can pay a little extra and get one in great condition?

I agree with Lumpy and Orio! If you were able to find a G1 Perceptor for that low of a price, it would probably be missing too much or have some broken parts!!! $35 for the re-issue isn't bad at all considering Lobo had an original one without his shoulder cannon for $45!!! I learned my lesson with Omega Supreme. Bought the tank for like $20, started buying all the different pieces off eBay for different prices and had different degrees of ageing!!! Finally had a near complete one missing a few of the yellow shields that I parted together for a total of around $145!!! Problem was that because of it's age, it wouldn't walk in bot mode, was planing to buy reprolabels to replace missing or faded stickers, and still needed to find the yellow tabs!!! After a few months, Encore announced a re-issue and even an up-grade on the head and internal gears!!! Sold mine on eBay and used the money to buy one from Planet X under $100!!! In the long run, it was cheaper and better to get the re-issue!!! I recommend it ESPECIALLY if it has electronics or a special feature like Perceptor having a working microscope mode!!!

Heat up the pin, tap it lightly with a hammer and nail, remove with pliars. Then do it all again to put back.

Hopefully its as easy as it sounds haha

Almost forgot! Went to the Wal-Mart on Eubank last night and they had a pallet drop FULL of deluxes and voyagers! What was notable was that there was a ton of the Icream Twins!!! I hid a couple behind the Transformers Laptop toy on the bottom shelf, but there should be no shortage since they had a ton on the pegs!!!

Just to remind you guys, BLACK FRIDAY IS COMING!!! I'm starting to save up for whatever sales are going to happen. Main things I'm looking for are a Bluetooth head set for my Blackberry, at least a 4 gig memory stick for my pSP, and whatever sale comes out for Transformers!!! I'm hoping that Devastator gets marked down drastically!!! Hopefully something gets announced soon!!!

but if you heat up the pin, wouldn't the plastic around the pin get heated too? and therefore melt?

Don't forget our negotiations Squallte...

Oh, if anybody sees a Nebular Starscream at a K-mart, let me know, I want one.

PM sent!

By the way, I remember a couple of you guys wanted some of my stuff, but I totally spaced what you guys wanted and who wanted it!!! Please shoot me a PM with what you wanted and when you want to meet-up. I'm off this Sunday and Monday and afternoons work best for me!!! I live close to the Eubank Wal-Mart and Target, but could meet-up at a good half way point to the west side like Carlise Wal-Mart or Paseo Target if need be!!!
