    There isn't a ton of stuff I've been wanting, as I've largely whittled my collection down to MPs-esque figures and I'm fairly caught up there. I figured I'd look at what some of my saved sellers have just in case. Big mistake. See, Baba has the DNA foot upgrade for Titan Metroplex. Is it worth it, I wonder? So I hit up Youtube for some reviews... then somehow got onto looking at reviews for Maketoys Utopia. Subjective opinion, Utopia looks way better. Looks like he has better articulation and sturdier joints. And even though he looks a lot smaller than Titan Metroplex that size difference actually seems to work better with Trypticon. So for shits and giggles I look for Utopia. I'm not expecting to find anything; almost every other time I've looked for him I see people asking for $600+. But what's this I saw? A US seller I've used before had a complete used one for $345 and shipping? I did some math and figured I'd wind up paying a little less than $310 shipped.

    And before I knew it, I'd bought a Utopia. Thanks, flash sale. Oh well, at least I have some time to pay it off with PayPal credit.

    Meh, works fine on my cheap ass phone $130 which is about 2 years old.

    Bought myself a Gobots Puzzler, got a few Gobots now, decided they deserve a shelf, needed something bigger for the center.

    FWIW I don’t mind using it on my iPad but it’s hard to comparison shop and I needed to. I just put everything in my cart on the desktop and checked out on the app. Luckily that’s enough to apply the coupon there to qualify even though the rest was done outside the app.

    The app is decent but I'd much rather use Ebay on a desktop or laptop. It's just faster and easier. Especially when I need to have multiple windows open to compare prices of items within Ebay and with non Ebay retailers.
