    I'm more disappointed with Blendtron instead of Herald of Unicron, but space I guess. Two things keeping me from buying are the misspelling and Hobby Lobby.

    What's wrong with Hobby Lobby?

    I'm guessing it's political, which is verboten here, so....

    Oh, ok. Thought there was something wrong with the store itself (ex. high prices, low quality merchandise, etc.)

    personally, this would ideally look like:
    Autobot - Wrecker - G2 Autobot - Maximal
    Decepticon - Ultracon - G2 Decepticon - Predacon
    Terrorbot/Quintesson - Unicron - Vehicon - Star Seekers

    no idea what my fourth row’d be or if one’s even needed. this way you have an autobot/autobot offshoot row, decepticon/decepticon offshoot row and a ‘neither’ row

    If I can find these for a good price, I\'d consider getting them.  The insignia one because it\'s funny and the other because it looks cool.

    There’s also the fact that Hobby Lobby’s been illegally smuggling artifacts out of the Middle East, which is not political so much as it is a crime.

    They suck without even getting into the political/religious stuff.

    They like to smuggle ancient artifacts into the US!

    Yep. I changed the vid, cuz the first one started getting into the religious slant of it about halfway through. Their motivation seems to be religion though... or greed... not sure which (or both?).

    But the cut & dry of it is that they’re knowingly smuggling stolen cultural artifacts into the US. Where they go after that is anyone’s guess. The personal collection of a HL CEO? The black market? Who knows?

    The Green family (owners of Hobby Lobby) are also the founders of the new Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, although I don't know if their entire collection of antiquities (stolen or not) is in the museum.

    People interested in the subject should listen to On Point Radio's recent episode about the Museum via their podcast.

    $23.85 for both after tax. Pretty good deal, which means I can look past Dicepticons.

    That faction symbol sign is a disaster. Not only is a prominent faction misspelled, but they didn't even use the more standard Predacon symbol.

    The other sign is also a mess of different versions of characters. It's ok but I'm not going out of my way for it.

    The box art designs from earlier and the logo were much cooler.

    You can probably find fan-made stuff on Etsy that’s more professional.
