    We do still have EB in the US. Northgate Mall has both a Gamestop and an EB. They're so close, you can actually see one from inside the other. What's even more amusing, is that there's also a Gamestop directly across the street.

    Did anyone else get a serial killer vibe from MrByatis' audio question, or is it just me?

    I mean I'm sure it is completely to the contrary...But still...

    Another great podcast guys - The discussions on the Pre-History of Transformers and Kreo were both thoroughly entertaining and informative. :bowdown: 
    On the subject of 'High-end' collectable Robits (Possible Off-topic Listener Question? :eek: ):

    Would you buy 'High-end', S.A.I.N.T. Robot (From Short Circuit 1/2) collectable action figures?

    I, like so many others, have always wanted one of these in some form or another for decades and whilst I know it'd probably be a contractual cluster-f... I believe that with Ghostbusters, Gremlins and many other IPs receiving similar treatments - surely others would want this and feel the same way as I'm certain they would sell like hotcakes; with just the possibilities of the various repaints Johhny 5 has at his disposal alone being a major tick in the right box?
    (Where is Hot Toys/Bandai/3A/Neca when you need them? :rolleyes: )

    i dont know, i really doubt theres any sort of "addictive" chemicals in toys, but a new car smell type-thing yeah, but i think its just the smell of the paint and plastic, but an addictive chemical? no probably not, and um the optimus model kit looks REALLY cool, but for the price i can get at least 2 gundam kits, so, ill just wait for the revoltech i guess, even though it'll probably be smaller

    I was trying to keep it under ninety seconds, since that was a rule Vangelus laid down several episodes ago for listener questions, but due to recent audio submissions I have a feeling he's dropped it. So that's why I sound rushed and kind of weird.

    I don't hear that myself, but so far you and Qdog from (Cool) Shite on the Tube have brought that I sound like a thirty year-old

    The heavy breathed "Hustle" at the end probably didn't help. :p

    Duke Nukem Forever has given you guys some of the funniest material in a while.
    "Do or do not, there is no bubble gum" almost made me do a spit take. Grats.

    I've never have my figures having some sort of odor whatsoever. Now on the other hand my reading media of Transformers does have a smell, but its more of that new stuff smell..well at least its not smelling like contact cement...good lord that stuff could make you high as a kite or worse cause brain damage if prolong exposure. So thats my two cents on that question.

    But the rest of the podcast was full of Kreo goodness and Duke Nukem jokes so it was definitely entertaining as hell to listen.

    I'm not sure why that would be happening. Is this a problem for anyone else?

    Yeeup. There are podcasts missing. While I have already listened to those I could see it bothering someone who is new to the Podcast.

    quick fix in the meantime:

    Take the MP3 link, change the filename to end in .m4a.

    It looks like a bunch of the data fields I fill in when I make the topics got cleared somehow in older shows, really don't have the time to go back and fill them in again right now

    Man that third listener question... why are there always so many restrictions and caveats when they get asked. At this rate we're going to get something akin to:

    "What's your favorite Generations toy, you must only include Autobots from wave 3 and Warpath!" :lol

    You know, I just realized something. Has anyone brought up the Encore Devastator yet for new pic picks? Can't remember if someone has but it seems too obvious to overlook.

    Unless they do it in 154, nope. It's just a Devvie reissue. Nothing too incredible to bring up IMO. But who knows, one of the other guys might feel differently.
