When I realized how simplistic some of the figures were (compared to some of their fellow ROTFers...) I wanted to burn those instructions and dance a jig around the flaming pile.
They finally got the instructions down to where you can pretty much figure out how to transform the toy, while previous sheets had entire steps missing, but this time they make every step darn near difficult, and for no reason.
I sure do miss the days of photographs of the actual toy to assist in transformation. | |

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room,
we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another.
Why do you think we invented politics and religion.
