    Welp thanks to a last minute bid on ebay Remorsel now has 4 underlings(not that they're actually going to listen to him though :lol )

    So far after fiddling with them for a bit this would be my rankings.
    1. Remorsel - I just love the grumpy little bugger what can I say.
    2. Burgertron - Hehe he's a burger turtle :lol 
    3. Dimlit - He's a cheeky little lad that I admit I had no interest in originally, but having him in hand he's more then welcome in my home.
    4. Clogstopper - Love his design but unfortunately mine suffers from his plunger hat not wanting to stay up. Also not sure if this is normal but the way the body on mine is molded he kind of is naturally leaning forward.
    5. Game Over - Really love the look of him in robot mode, but unfortunately mines kind of floppy so trying to do anything with him can be frustrating. Pure and simple reason he's in the 5th slot.

    I have 2 Clogstoppers and both have the same problem. The hat doesn't stay up, and it also doesn't go high enough to reveal all of the face detail.
    What I do is I tilt the hat backwards slightly after I've pulled it up as far as it will go. It doesn't tilt much, but usually just enough to keep it from sliding back down.

    The instructions actually say to do that, not that it works so well. Botbots would be even better if things clicked into place more often. I love them anyway. Except for that Venus flytrap.

    Separated at birth?

    The instructions actually say that? Weird, I missed that. Yeah, there’s a number of Botbots that could have benefited from having bits snap into place.

    I've got the Series 2 Five-Packs on preorder from EE. They have redecos of the three molds I'm still missing. (Game Over, Pointdexter and the Drill.) I have enough doubles, so if I don't see that one Eight Pack I need locally, I'll settle for the repaints.

    I think I might grab some opaque baggies and save up all my doubles for Halloween trick or treats. It'll save me from having leftover candy that I will be obligated to eat and give the kids something different than junk food.

    On another note: I'm betting a pair of Color changers that hasbro will never ever update the website beyond wave one, lol
