Nice pic!  GET SOME STACKS FOR PRIME!!  Those tiny things always just irk me.  Glad to see you finally got Alt Prime & Mirage.   ;) Were you ever able to track down Camshaft?  I saw him once at a Target, and wow...It was like the holy grail in my eyes.  I can't wait until they start shipping the newer Alts.  Not sure when they will, but I hope Nemesis Prime is re-released in there.

Alt Screamer?  I've heard some bad things about him too.  I'd at least wait until they repaint him properly.  I'm sure they're going to repaint him to death so it's going to be nice to have all of the seekers, but at $600-$700 for all of them??   ::)

I went out looking for these this past weekend, but they were all in the back, and I wasn't about to waste 30 minutes tracking down an employee and waiting for him to find it.

It ususally only takes a few minutes, if even that long.  Employees are quite abundant - just look for a nice one.  ;)

How's your 20th Prime been holding up?  And what's the deal with the price difference on these things??  I saw Target at $69.99 then TRU has them for $89.99...Quite a price difference there and they don't seem to be moving at either retailer.  I hope I can find one on clearance so that I can use it for parts. 

Note: I hate Wal-Mart.  The only time I'll be visiting that store anytime soon is for the final TSC figures, oh and the Devastator giftset.

30th Anniversary Collection / Re: Anyone else losing interest?

Edit: I almost forgot the tins- I think crap-in-a-can is the industry term for these.

I actually like my tins Dan.  I'm not an opener and I think they look great in the package.

Sorry- I wasn't looking to offend anyone who likes the tins. Actually, knowing that you are a carded/boxed collector, I think this type of item is more focused on collectors like you.

No offense on the tins Dan  ;)  I just thought it was time that somebody stood up for these things.

**Obviously I don't know how to work this double quote thing.

Though I have to say that this is the first year out of six where I've actually questioned myself as to why I'm buying something that I already have a ton of in the first place.  I've always been a huge sucker for the packaging, the presentation.  Even as a kid, I'd save all my shoe boxes and game console boxes of which I still have most (the consoles that is.)

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Battlestar Galactica...who's watching?
« on: November 5, 2006, 05:51 PM »
What season is BSG in at the moment?  I loved the original series as a kid in the 80's and from what I've read in this thread, this version sounds really good.  Never managed to watch any of the newer shows, but I wouldn't mind starting from the beginning.

The trailer is pretty sweet actually and is pretty much like the original except it's twice as big obviously.  They added "shocks" to the rear wheels the back of the trailer has an added brake light bar, double opening doors, and a fold down ramp.  No roller, but it's still got that thing inside (never new what it was that unfolds with the arm and satellite thing.)  Here is where I store a piece from Prime's inner leg that I can't figure out where to attach it to.  It's also got slots inside to store Prime's gun, axe, and Megs.  Oh, can't forget the side leg things that fold out from underneath the trailer when you open it (just like G1)  No stickers, but the inside has tons of raised mechanical details etched into it.

Well, I guess the most important thing is that you can fit an ALT/Binaltech inside the trailer.  Sweet!  Anyway...I won't buy another "Masterpiece" again.  This was it.  In fact, I'm happier with the trailer than I am with Prime himself..   :-\

Classics have been sitting in my trunk for the past three weeks.  I've got waaay too much SW stuff to get through before I crack them open.

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Target Exclusive Imperial Shuttle

I'm wondering how they're going to stock this thing if it is indeed a Black Friday Special.  I mean they can fit what, maybe 10-15 at the most on an endcap and this may become a highly sought after item that morning.  Maybe they could cake them all on the top shelf ala the Millenium Falcon TF?  That's probably not a good idea though as the box is too freaking huge.

Are these things still shipping regularly??  I've only seen them for myself once at a TRU.  Not once have I seen them at a Target or WM.  I still need ep 5 & 6 to finish off my set.

You guys have me afraid to buy any MP or 20th Prime now.  :)

Ya, kinda hard to return a toy to Japan.  Well, I tried DP's method with non luck so I took apart his leg.  Yay! - I thought to myself.  Anyway it still wont let me get at the spring assembly inside the "gas barrel" so I have to take his leg off EVERYTIME I want to transform him from robot to cab

I finally got some help on TFANS.com, but the guy said to take the leg off and sand down the offending clip or use sticky tape?  BS!!  This is supposed to be a "MASTERPIECE".  Ya, master piece of ****!

It's not fun playing doctor with such an expensive toy btw.
