    I was going to question how that could possibly be your favourite S1 episode but then I remembered all the epic Dinobot/ Rattrap banter and how the whole episode is pure, simple fun the whole way through. Good choice

    Start to finish it had elements of everything I loved about Beast Wars. The silly banter all the way to the character building with Dinobot and his Viking like beliefs in dying in battle and making it to the gates of silicon Valhalla.

    Yeah! MP Megs is going to open up a lot of great opportunities for pics of various scenes!

    I'm sure most have you have seen this on Twitter but this is just incredible. I had to share here! All credit to @ChromeTyranno on Twitter. This makes me want to pick up a Predaking to try and attempt this. Absolutely stunning job!

    I got mine in!

    Don't know if I wanna crack it or not! I dig the presentation of the box and I think it would look good sealed.

    In the event you like the way it looks MISB... You could always open this one and keep the Japanese one sealed. There's no difference from the SDCC version.
    I'm sitting on a preorder of it at Amazon Japan for $76 shipped right now.

    I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because I'm on Meclizine for motion sickness. But that photo triggered the most intense and vivid nostalgia ever. Began with a flood of memories of watching BW on TV back in the day, and somehow led to a random memory of a really hot summer day around that time, playing with a typically 90s neon orange and lime colored water gun in a park with some neighbors, which escalated into a water balloon fight lol. Something about how green the leaves are in the pic and how bright and exposed the sunlight is. Then you throw in the BW characters. I swear that's what life was once, long ago lol.

    yeah I guess I'll wait to get it in hand. I don't really need two though.

    I'm thinking of going to Retrocon to meet Garry Chalk this October.. I want him to sign my MP-32 box... but it would be pretty sweet if he would sign this. I'd hate to lug this around a convention though lol especially if when I get there he's not signing. An empty mp-32 box in my backpack vs this... I'm leaning mp-32.

    Really bums me out that they put the Onyx in that Predaking set.

    You should definitely go! At the very least to meet and talk with him. He's such an awesome guy!
    They say "don't meet your heroes."
    But as a Beast Wars fan, it's the opposite. Absolutely meet your heroes. You won't regret it lol
    But I think they'd both look pretty cool signed!

    Sorta.

    You see, the writers of BW needed a way to give Primal some firepower aside from his “dinky” pistol, so they messed around with the toy and came up with the “gun harness” that he used in the show!
