    Widely? No. Among degenerates and among artists/writers up against a deadline looking for something, anything to fill an episode plot or product design commitment? Yes. :D

    For the most part, no. LSD became extremely difficult to track down as the 70s ended due to an entire campaign of dishonest propaganda about it ‘seeping into your spine’ and ‘causing permanent delusions’ and that sort of bullshit.

    I’m not sure if you’re just messing around, but I would really refrain from this sort of statement if you’re not. LSD tends to have a major audience with two groups of people - those suffering from otherwise untreatable diseases like migraine or cluster headache disorder (two potentially life-ruining conditions if you have them badly enough) and people with mental disorders like bipolar disorder, depression, etc.

    Like ketamine, it’s been credited with saving the lives of people with otherwise irreconcilable psychiatric issues like PTSD, suicidal tendency, etc.

    It’s why it’s popular among soldiers, rape victims, etc.

    They are, but the payoff looks worth every penny (I say look cause I haven't used mine yet, in all fairness, haha).

    Well i ordered them. I bought Fanstoys Galvatron today along with X-transbots Scourge and the sweeps. So those symbols will work nicely.

    Is there any benefit using water slides over the dry rub kind? I only have dry rubs and they look good but are a bitch and a half getting off.

    Waterslides are fragile, but once you get them in position they look great and generally don't show up any borders/edges.

    They can be removed by applying a little water to re-soften the glue.

    Oh, i'll have to consider buying some then. I've messed up with dry rubs a couple times and to say it was a chore getting them back off without destroying the paint was a chore. Thanks.

    Water Slides can be made mostly permanent (as good as a tampo) using Mr. Mark Setter/Softer.

    I can't believe this thread is still going for this old (awesome) toy. Good Grief Charlie Brown! It started in 2015!

    I've had zero luck using dry rub. Got a set for my maketoys downbeat and they kept lifting up, etc etc etc...

    With water slide I've done faction symbols on many of my bots and they look great, almost factory... But I agree... Use a setting solution.... You won't regret it

    They take a bit of work to get on, but in the end you get probably the absolute best quality you can get. The faction symbols end up pretty much looking like they came standard so well that it hurts, hahaha.

    Going to post this here because I don’t want to clutter the Abaddon thread with my observations (Wife is wrong, I am thoughtful sometimes).

    Sovereign’s cannon mode is not great but I’ve always dug the bot mode. He’s a brute and intimidating like I envisioned a Decepticon leader to be. He does suffer a bit in the articulation department but the aesthetics is money.

    To me, Abaddon looks like just another lackey or maybe Season 3 Galvy.
