    That's pretty much what I did. Got an old binder that had some Return of Superman trading cards from like 92 or 93, and I just put all my Transformer cards in there along with all the combiner wars and potp cards.

    I'll just say it hasn't treated me very well:rolleyes: . After getting the first wave of deluxes and Primal, I got 3 Blackarachnia cards, and 3 Optimus Primes (one was the variant card, but still, thats some shitty luck :lol ). Hoping that I get Dinobot (or honestly, at this point, anything other than the two mentioned above) with the Dinobot that should finally be arriving next week...

    Two scenes from the next episode of Core Crisis. #1: Megatronus Prime gives a speech, and #2: the Final Heaven bar in Iacon (a photo of the speech will be edited onto the screen the characters are looking at in the finished product).

    And now a word regarding this post I made yesterday. Someone asked me elsewhere if that was really how the Ballad of Sunstreaker ends.

    Well, first I would like to say the following:

    Thank you VERY MUCH to everyone who has taken the time to view these, for the likes, the Funnies Awards votes, the kind words, for everything. I've had a lot of fun working on this comic, and it's good to know that there have been others that enjoyed it. The world is a dark, messed-up place, and to know that any of this has brought a smile or a chuckle to someone, even a small one ..... well, that's pretty flipping cool. So once again, THANK YOU! I truly appreciate it.

    Now if anyone was wondering if that is indeed how the series ends, the answer, or rather answers, are......

    Answer #1. The first, OOC, real-life answer is that I came to the realization that not only was it time for it to end, but it was past time. I did have plans for a minimum of four more major story lines plus whatever miscellaneous episodes, "interludes," etc. that I came up with along the way. But when thinking about the next episode, I couldn't quite put things together to my satisfaction. Later, I began to question whether I really had it in me to tell the stories I wanted to with this comic. Furthermore, I found that I was enjoying coming up with ideas for Deltron Magnus Studios comics more that the Ballad of Sunstreaker itself.

    One day I realized that I had simply stayed to long at the fair with this one. That there just wasn't enough gas in the tank to see it all the way through. Looking back, I really should have ended it with Sunstreaker: Homecoming. I was really happy with the way that one came out, and it would have been a great way to end the series. Sure, there was the loose end about Soundblaster's spy Sunstreaker planted in the Autobot base, and the favor owed to him, but that would have actually been kind of convenient as it left the door open for a sequel series if at some point down the road I was inspired to make something I felt was a good successor. I'm still not going to rule out a sequel in the future, but I honestly can't say if that will happen.

    I kicked around different ideas for how to wrap things up, including doing the original ending I was going to make back before this project evolved from a series of gags about ER Sunstreaker not having a gun, to a broader project with actual story lines. The ending above was going to be a "joke episode," followed by "LOL JK, here's the REAL ending, folks!"

    But something dawned on me. That quick, shoddy, Simpsons-rip off ending was just the way to end the comic. For you see, it's the perfect lead in to.......

    Answer #2. The fun, "in-character" answer. The "Deltron-verse" reason for the abrupt ending. The Ballad of Sunstreaker may be over, but the hardships of it's star are not. Oh, no. Those aren't over at all.

    Has anyone ordered the Toy Hax labels for Earthrise Optimus Prime? They look really nice, especially the ones for the trailer. I was going to buy a set, but they appear to be sold out, right now.

    The exterior stickers alone are worth it.

    A lot of ToyHax stickers tend to go in and out of stock pretty regularly, especially the more popular sets. It's definitely worth checking the site every day or two to see if anything pops back in stock

    I assume that the hate part comes from the fact that 6 out of the 9 figures in that shot are very highly sought after exculsives, as well as said highly sought after exclusives being key to some group or another? :lol
