    I don't know, tell that Lupus' ankles, Rogue's creepy attempt at sexiness or just Hoist in general

    My guitar collection is also hovering around that range.... I blame it on growing up on the bleeding edge of homelessness and then falling into a job where I've had the most disposable income in my life. I don't make an absurd amount of money, but I live at home and keep my expenses relatively in check.

    I feel a little stupid, as I could have definitely bought a condo or a house at this point, but I'm only 23. I've still got time to get myself sorted.

    I was huuuuuuuge on depression purchases now. But I've been medicated/in treatment for almost 2 months now and i'm doing a hell of a lot better.

    I don't regret the camaro at all :D 

    The guitars either

    Right, but doesn't Lupus fetch $500+ nowadays and didn't Hitch's POs sell out? I'm not apologizing for or defending FT mind you, just laughing at the absurdity which I willingly take part in.

    Fair point, will probably even happen to Spindrift 2.0 someday, even I saw him at under $90 during Christmas sales

    You can’t see it, but the previous owner installed autobot headlights!

    I bought a chrome autobot emblem back in October, but haven’t put it on yet.

    Dealership had a hard top yellow with black stripes, but it had been in an accident with frame damage…

    You can say that again.

    Amen!

    How is this a dumb move? What a beauty! It's a Camaro, I'm sure you got it because of the TF Movie!

    :p 

    OMG, this looks amazing, simply amazing and this is another reason I simply can't go with any other third party doing combiners. Not only do FT have a very good combination of aesthetics, quality and scale but there is also none of the 'snow white and seven dwarfs' syndrome going on in their combiner group, they are all entities and hold up as great standalone figures on their own.

    Finally it's good to see some progress and things moving in the right direction, I'm not in on these guys but even I'm happy and this means that hopefully a Bandit reveal must be around the corner....can't wait.

    The only "dumb" part I see is buying an RS. I always wondered to myself who buys a non V8 muscle car? Obviously there's the money issue but why on earth would I want a Camaro, Mustang or Challenger without that V8 sound?

    Hey, I live in MN and I own this........

    IMG_20210701_050611246.jpg
    A rwd pickup truck. Doesn't see the light of day until the snow and salt are gone, so probably May or June. That's probably just as "dumb" lol.

    I get that. The depression purchases too. Sometimes one just has to treat oneself, and sometimes that gets to a point of having something to focus on and make a hobby. Collecting MP TFs is a pandemic hobby for me and I may very well sell all of them when things return to "normal". Until then I have no problem spending disposable income on robots.

    You're absolutely right, you've got lots of time to get things sorted. I'm 36 and just changed careers in November. Enjoy your 20s, that's what they're for! :)

    Right you are! Little 8/9 year old Kevin saw Bumblebee up on that screen and his life was changed forever

    Hang in there brother-man. I was homeless once in middle school, and nearly homless again in highschool. Moved accross country with my family in 2017, went to a technical college and worked my ass off to get into my current position in IT. I know the paycheck-to-paycheck struggle. I had to sell my entire MP collection at one point, sucked, a lot... Sold my MP-10 that I bought with my first ever paycheck. That hurt.

    I know nothing about cars fwiw. I had a 2017 Yaris Hatchback before this :D . The 323 HP is more than enough for me! I've been using my dad's Kia Soul or my brother's PT Cruiser when the roads are too bad. Luckily i'm working from home a lot more now and i've been able to get away with keeping it in the garage. I understand the allure of the V8, but I bought this car at the height of my depression and during a very rough streak of suicidal ideation. I'm honestly a different person now, but the car is here to stay. Wasn't thinking straight when I bought it, but it turns heads and makes me happy whenever I look at it. Driving it is even more fun. The exhaust is modded with straight pipes as well, so it's a little obnoxious doing cold starts :p  I have far too many videos of remote starts in my parking structure at work.

    Do the arm bots separate into two halves in combined mode? Or is the elbow hinge integrated into their bodies?

    Given how Smokey was handled, I would say the elbow hinge is integrated.
