Hi ya’ll. I’d greatly appreciate if I can have ya’ll help me help a great group of people root out real corruption inside the Buffalo, NY school system. I’d be more than happy to provide the template email and the email address to send it to. Thank y’all and God bless 🫡

I keep forgetting to post over here, but here are the last couple gets I got in the last week. I also got a new gun along with Mindwipe yesterday but I’m not sure how anal Bluesky is about gat-posting 😬

Today’s grabs from my local comic shop. Was just thinking the other day about going back and getting the modern Monsterbots, so pretty convenient that they had Twinferno/Doublecross. I also got Marvel Impactor to go with the Wreckers vs Mayhem display I’m setting up

Finally bought in to the KO Takara LG Fortress. Looks great, but I was supposed to get two (one was going to be used as a base for a custom RID01 Emissary to go with the Cerebros that came with Omega Prime) and the seller only sent the one. Already sent a message asking what’s up, kinda lame

Okay Blokees, I was unfamiliar with your game but am now intrigued.

Death Tracker will find a new home since I’m confident a Studio Series one will happen eventually, but the cogless miners are great. Might even end up keeping Optimus, scarred D-16, and Sentinel as desk toys on my cocaine desk

Okay fine, I’ll see what the Blokee craze is about

If you or anyone you know have children currently enrolled in the school systems in Buffalo, NY, *THEY WILL NOT PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT*. They have actively deleted evidence incriminating those responsible and covered for them.

Not mine, but something worth noting for Omega Prime backers that are having the cracked ab problem.
May 2, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Found a use for the blast effects that came with SS86 Ultra Magnus that I didn’t end up using on Magnus himself.
May 2, 2025 at 8:30 PM
And now for the main event; Omega Prime himself!

Wow. Just… wow. Bro is fkin huge in person, and the Matrix Blade is LONGGGGG. This might end up being my #1 get of the year, honestly. Its *that* good

Next up is Ultra Magnus. Is it weird to say that Bluebolts is my favorite part of Magnus? I love his super sentai-ish head, kinda reminds me of Power Rangers a bit
April 29, 2025 at 11:41 PM
Optimus is so fkin cool man. Brings me back to 2001 when I got my original RID Optimus 🥹

(and yes, had to do the fix to prevent the ab piece from cracking. So far, no cracks and the ridges inside said were intact. Also missed that the arm panels slide up in core robot mode)

I get paid today, got my VA disability for the month, credit card finally paid down in full, having pizza for tonight, and opening this bad boi. It’s a good day to be me 😎
April 29, 2025 at 8:20 PM
Has this been done before? I don’t ever recall seeing this done before.

Anyway, what’re the chances we get a modern update of Energon Scorponok and maybe get a G1 repaint out of it? Figured I’d use the diecast fella as Olin Zarak in my Star Seekers display, he could use a Transtector 🤔
April 28, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Today’s mail haul. I paid an *exuberant* amount for the Ginrai upgrade pack, but it’ll be worth it to me in the end. The Dreadwind is a junker to fix up my actual one. The Titanmasters come courtesy of my man @equaloppdork.bsky.social!
April 28, 2025 at 8:17 PM
Doing some spring cleaning of the collection. Any takers? Some notes:
>Liokaiser is complete, couple bots have loose limbs but nothing clear nail polish can’t fix
>Skybyte is missing his missile
>Galvatron is the first run with the flubbed shoulders

While waiting for the wife to finish her appointment at the hospital, ran some errands around town and picked this fella up for $30 at my local comic shop. Mainly got it for Nightstick, but a Cyclonus that doesn’t look like he’s smoked a pack a day everyday for the last decade is also a nice bonus!
April 23, 2025 at 4:04 PM
Goddamn, the email the British Omega Prime backers got weren’t kidding around with that US ship date of late April 😳
April 22, 2025 at 9:35 PM
Cleared out space to make room for HasLab Omega Prime. Decided to put my original pair in their alt modes and stick the original Car Brothers inside Ultra Magnus to maximize (heh) as much space as possible
April 22, 2025 at 4:29 PM
Today’s haul. Bonecrusher comes courtesy of Hasbro Pulse, and Rom from me giving up finding him at local GameStops and just ordering him online
April 21, 2025 at 8:48 PM
Happy Easter ya’ll. He is risen!
April 20, 2025 at 8:15 PM
Got my back reset by the VA’s in-house chiropractor, stopped by the local comic shop on the way to get lunch, and walked out with this fella for $50. Tacos will be had in his honor 🫡

What a scrappin’ young lad, homie’s got a leg up on the competition, his charm is front loaded for all to see.
