    Blot: Even fishy-stink guys make fun of Blot's smell. REVENGE!

    Do you think Blot and Skalor have a rivalry because they’re both defined by smelling bad? They’d at least hang out right?

    No, Blot is a bully, but really only because everyone gives him a hard for his maintenance troubles.

    But insult Skalor and he'll just shove your faces in armpit (?) and ask if it's any stronger today.

    So Skalor would get along with Horri-Bull.

    He's kinda hard to see, but Warbotron is back there... also worth noting my GB has the knee extensions.

    ;) It's not the size of the bot in the fight...

    Placing my order with TFSafari.

    Have to admit, being relatively new to the 3P game, dropping $520 on a toy, even an awesome toy, feels kinda weird.

    I feel you, I started collecting at my 30s and my first bot was a $500 combiner... I couldn't believe what I was doing at that time...

    You're better for having done it all at once. Some people out there can't finish their TFC's Liokaiser and Road Caesar.

    I will say in the 10 years since I stopped collecting, my finances have definitely shifted for the good. I've dropped quite a bit grabbing the 3P's I wanted, and I think I'm just about caught up. I'm not giving up HasTak, but there are some thing that just called to me, and mecha-beast-formers are pretty much my weak spot.

    I feel you on the finance part, I got in like 5 years ago and spent a metric shit ton of money. Now I'm content and just buy a random bot here or there. I enjoy collecting but the prices anymore are just getting crazy. On that note I got into the hobby after Poseidon was sold out so glad this guy came around so I could fulfill that hole in my collection.

    Funny thing is that as Hasbro has raised its prices, a lot of 3P offerings seem less crazy now. 10 years ago I might have scoffed at purchasing Tactical Nuke Prime, but when I drop $160 for a titan (that probably needs a $40 upgrade kit), $180 for a MP GI Joe Crossover figure isn't so unreasonable. And if I could drop $50 on a Slag or Grimlock that I fine aesthetically unsatisfying, is it so outrageous to grab the nearly perfect Gigasaurs at $200?

    Finally started to put together a set and I have a dumb question...

    I got Thousandkills, Deathclaw and Ironshell to start.. figuring Id build from the ground up...but none of them have the feet. (It shows on Deathclaws instructions but there is no place in the box for one while Thousandkills says 'comes in earlier sets). So...which ones come with the feet and which one has the left hand,

    I want to say Mentarazor comes with one of the feet.

    Cyberjaw comes with the other foot. Accessories list:

    Bigbite---right fist
    Cyberjaw---foot
    Ironshell---nothing technically, but lots of sword-hilt extensions etc
    Deathclaw---left fist
    Mentarazor---foot
    Thousandkills---ankle extensions

    I've long suspected they gave a foot to Cyberjaw, in order to "guarantee sales" of the 6th/optional member. Overbite was almost never a leg (not in the 5-pack or 6-pack versions, TV nor instructions). But by making him have the foot, he's now "absolutely required to buy". And nobody's going to skip Tentakil, so they could stick him with whatever...

    Thank you...that was what I was afraid of and totally understand as I was very tempted to skip Cyberjaw...was certainly saving him for last at best lol.
