    No pictures, sorry.

    Today I found Siege Springer on the shelf at Target. Only when I took it to the checkout it errored out with a Do Not Sell until 7/28/19.

    Needless to say they wouldn't sell me the figure.

    That is really dumbass. Not really something uncool but strange. Found Springer this morning. I noticed the box had some damage which is fine since I was going to open him anyway. When I took it up the the register I realized it was open. When I got it home I took him out of the box. All the accessories where still there. Nothing missing. I am guess someone got pissed off with it and returned it. I have transformed him a few time already. I love him. This one will replace the thrilling 30th .

    Well this day just got dandy. This is how Ectotron was delivered to me. The Battlemasters from Amazon also arrived dinged up. The battlemasters I'm fine with but Ectotron irritates me. 20190703_140229.jpg 20190703_140148.jpg 20190703_140143.jpg 20190703_140131.jpg

    Not even sure how it happened. It seemed like it was already broke when I pulled it out.

    That sucks, man. I really hope designers get over this, "painted clear plastic" phase soon.

    I tried to transform my MP Road Rage a few minutes ago, and this happens:

    IMG_20200208_085829.jpg

    For some reason, the panel just straight out snaps off once I rotated it for transformation. Even though I got this figure for quite a cheap price, I'm not happy with this at all.

    Wow, when I worked at Target, if something was actually on shelves by the release date and wasn't a major movie release, it was a cold day in hell.

    That's pretty much been my experience at Target, both shopping and working there.

    As a side note, I've got some more metal kits I'm willing to sell.

    Well he does fold up a bit but his robot mode is voyager sized. Though I think what's really happening here is that the Seacons are just big.

    Today is the day: after 17 years, Armada Side Swipe is finally redeemed.
    For all its limitations, ASS was a transformer and also had to deal with an intrusive gimmick.
    17 years later, without any line-wide gimmick, we got this:
