    Same, I too will be at the beach. Just crossing my fingers that there won't be any "incident".

    Anyone else so excited about this that they feel anxious? Reminds of being an 8yo on Christmas Eve '86 when my TF fever was at an all time high thanks in large part to The Movie. We were at Christmas Eve mass that night and all I could think about was the TFs I knew Santa was bringing me for next morning. I ended up breaking out in hives all over at church. My mom had to hurry me home and give me an oatmeal bath to calm down the rash. It was nuts! Couldn't sleep that night. Ended up getting Kup, Wheelie, Rodimus, Sharkticon, and Galvatron. I got other stuff, but I can't remember what. Those TFs were IT.

    Anyway, that's how I'm feeling now! C'mon, Prime, light my darkest hour!

    Man, with all the other shit going on in my life at the moment, knowing that this is coming to my doorstep in about two weeks is the shining light guiding me through this damn tunnel. No anxiety at all, just grateful that I have that to look forward to.


    BRING IT ON

    My secret accessories list would include three attitude exchangers or a basketball and hoop that could attach to the backside of the battle deck. Of course, I should just build my own.

    My man! G1 is still my favorite toyline. If somebody would actually buy my stuff for sale, I'd be free to pick up Kup, Rodimus, Galvatron, and a ton of others. Though I can't say they've ever made me break out in hives...

    The next several weeks are going to be so intense for me. MP 36+ this week, MP 44 in a less than 2 weeks, my little Penny set to arrive late September/October, and MP 45.
    Between changing diapers, sleep, work, I may be a little late in fully putting these guys through their paces. Totally worth it though.
    Hoping Penny will be just as into TF as my 5 year old!

    Ah, yeah, man, so sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been having, brother! I sure hope this big beautiful bastard will give you a much needed reprieve!

    Yeah, that ticking clock is making my heart race!

    How could I have forgotten about the basketball?! You already have that one covered, Agent539?

    Yeah, Phamduc getting him in hand and writing it up for us sure ratcheted up the excitement!

    I'm gonna pretend that Penny is named after the Penny Racer inspired Bumblebee that is arriving right around the same time as her ;)  Congrats!


    Yeah it's gonna be a sweet reward for getting through this crap!
    Heh, I don't know about Agent539, but I managed to track down the basketball that I saw Alfes2010 on Twitter had for his Lebron Convoy.

    Not gonna lie, when my wife saw this arrive in the same order as MP-20+ and MP-43 she was like 'wtf' :confused:  l she thought I was into robots not anime girls :lol 
    Luckily right after that trip I got back to Ireland, and I found the perfect candidate to gift the figure to - the 9 year old of a family friend who I had previously given MP-21R and MP Frenzy to. She didn't mind that I wanted to keep the basketball and stand :D

    Voltron Soul of Chogokin GX-71 10 day notice from BBTS?

    Checked.

    11 days before Prime comes home?

    Fucking checked.


    Summer is ending on a high note for me. It is simply going to be fantastic.

    That would’ve been so cool. I still wish he had some peace sign hands. He did that once before right?

    My child's due date was the same as MP 44's release date... but because of a needed C-Section, she will be here a few days earlier. Either way, MP 44 is a way to celebrate my daughter's arrival!

    Looking for some advice. I lost my job and absolutely cannot afford this right now. I went to cancel with Amazon Japan today, and I can't because its past their cut-off date. Do they make any exceptions at all?
