I actually ordered the Transformers Go! Shinobi team Off amazon not that long ago along with that thundertron repaint. About $30 each.

been considering getting it off and on for the past year and it just did not fit my budget with all the Independent group combiner wars since their release.

Maybe I will pass on the Samurai team if they really are that aggravating. It could be that Animal mecha alt modes can be more free form when they jam combiner complications in there.

Probably going to get Hunter Ratchet and some of the predacon retools later especially if Vangelus keeps teasing them in his videos.

 

I somewhat giggled to myself when Vangelus & all were talking about how his SDCC Dinobots set needed white glue, and V was lamenting whatever else he'd use white glue for.

Why? Because when Aaron & TJ Omega were talking about Vangelus getting his hands on a bunch of construction paper & doing craft projects I was reminded of the packing material I used for his SDCC dinobots (which I acquired for him).

Construction paper, lots & lots of construction paper. Why? Because it was the cheapest stuff I could find to pack stuff with, and figured Vangelus wouldn't mind.

Okay, sure that story might be only amusing to me, but I do not care.


Also, depending on when this was recorded (on the 18th) Aaron might have denied Vangelus the joy of saying Will Wheaton over & over. Since, in addition to giving a donation to Roo, I sent him over a gift of an Audible audiobook - Redshirts, read by Will Wheaton. Sure, at the time it was on sale for $5, but its the thought that counts.

 

Oh Vangelus when will you learn.


Vanilla Coke is the better than your crude Zero soda.

I'm with excelhedge, though I personally prefer Cherry Vanilla coke.

 

It's Still a Vanilla Coke, so No Hate my man.

 

yea i dont always agree with a brony but when i do, it's about vanilla coke.

coke zero....ya damn savage....

 

Regarding The Hub, it just wasn't available anywhere outside of North America. Even within NA it was considered to be far from low hanging fruit.

That model is done, it is a global consumer base now. HBO, for example, syndicates globally to great effect with branding in tow.

Oh, hi Cybertron Evac...!?

 

FYI Vangelus, I was one of the idiots who pre-ordered Optimus Exprime.... and it probably wasn't worth it, but it's also a pretty fun toy. I think it's probably on-par with Kenzan. It's not BAD (although I don't have Gekisomaru, so I haven't combined him yet), but it's a pretty fun toy by itself.

I would like to point out that, whilst the weapons are neat, the two head pieces can stress a little where they join to form the shield... thing. Which isn't good. But I don't think anything is going to break, so there's that. The alt mode is easily the best part. It's gorgeous. Plus, the transformation is kinda fun. There are plenty of annoying parts that don't do things that they really should have, though, and that kinda ruins the experience.

Don't get me wrong - it's RIDICULOUSLY flawed, and the price it was released at seems kinda high (although about the same price as voyagers here in New Zealand, so really not that bad, all things considered) - I wouldn't pay that price for it again (not that I need to), but since I have it, it's definitely neat. If you can pay maybe ~¥2000 max, I'd say pick it up, but it's not something you should go out of your way to get.

By the way, I'd just like to point out that water is the best drink and owns all your sugary crap. Love you guys.

 

Thanks for updating us on Andy, Aaron. Glad to hear everything is going ok. I don't think I've heard anything since the sales thread.

 

Thanks for answering my question. Where can I check out this Superfan art you mentioned?

 

So basically the listener question asked for the takara weapon giveaways.

 

The Adventures of T-Rex, wow I totally loved that show. It aired uncomfortably close to the time I got home from school, meaning any delay at all would mean I would miss it.

The last episode gave everyone a crazy power up and new costumes, but then they didn't get another season. This was broke my little heart.

Edit: I just did some googling to refresh my brain, these guys were totally a sentai team! Now I just want a revival of this, looks like it would be a licencing nightmare though.
