    Sorry, bro. If it makes you feel any better, I also went to two press screenings of The Blackening a week ago and I’m going to one tomorrow for The Flash. :oops:

    Nope, just go to a lot of advance movie screenings. They do them all the time.

    Brentwood Wal-Mart has 2 Prowls and 2 Shrapnels. One bug left with me. Antennae are bronze.

    If you don’t know what he’s referring to, I just made a thread about it in the Toy forum.

    Oh, that's fun. Yeesh. Y'all gonna repaint yours?

    Mexico road target has two studio series Airazors, and is backstocked on old legacy deluxes. An associate scanned the tag and checked in the back and brought out two dead ends and a pointblank in addition to the scraphook, skullgrin, and crankcase out on the peg.

    Bridgeton Target was similarly scant, but they had older studio series deluxes. I saw two 86 arcees and a bumblebee movie ratchet. And I left with a sideways.

    Both stores had metalhawk and twincast.

    I recommend airbrush spraying if you can. Are you wanting to paint it silver or chrome?

    If you don't have an airbrush kit, try this:

    Make sure you wrap most if not all of the figure in covering before you spray. I would suggest painters tape, also let the figure set for a few hours before removing the tape. Do this outside and upwind from the figure as paint cam get in your lungs.

    Eastern Independence Walmart had the whole wave of evo Deluxes with Prowl, Shrapnel, Crosscut and Crashbar. Oddly, there were 2 Shrapnels; one with the silver pincers and one with the incorrect bronze ones. Silver ones left with me.
    Swung down the street to Noland Road Cargo Largo and picked up Jihaxus and Soundwave voyagers from a damage box they had too.

    RotB was probably the best live-action movie so far. It's a bit more straightforward than many fan theories predicted, and it's A-Okay anyway. No egregious character assassinations, and a few very interesting possibilities for the future. If you can swing it, go see it this weekend so we can get a sequel.

    EDIT: Also, you can actually tell what's going on during every fight. It's sad that I have to say this, as it should be a basic thing. But unlike Bayhem, everything on the screen is coherent. It's beautiful.

    I enjoyed RoTB much more than any and all of the bayverse films! Yes, there were parts I wish were expounded upon and whatnot, but it was fun and all! Unfortunately it's coming out right in the heels of Across the Spiderverse, so that'll probably put a pretty big dent in its box office takes. (Not to be sacrilegious, but holy shit. Go see Across the Spiderverse on as large a screen as you can. It's so visually beautiful.)
