Just checked this out, interesting cover! A well done book! A genuinely funny romp in Greece with one hell of a good bit of dialogue, when Spidey says Herc must be able to take a joke, he replies "I can take a /funny/ joke."

Thinking I'd blindly add 86 Skywarp to the list just because it's time to bin the ER seekers but he's the one I actually like because the silver pops so well. This one is just grey. Why should I spend. Why do I need matching ones. We still haven't seen Starscream.

So what do we call all these songs where they wholesale use the tune of another song but change the words completely that are coming out these days. Stolen valour. If you like it, it's because you already like the tune from the old one, what are you offering doing this

I went to school with a very successful TV personality influencer doctor who's also a ripped Nigerian prince and fashion model and I'm not making that up. His Instagram is a crushing blow to all of us.

I've been wearing this shirt, clearly my decision to watch Armada was subliminal.
Sigh... will we ever get Cybertron mode Optimus as a toy....

I just found Armada on Prime Video so yeah let's check out the Nemesis Prime episode I've never actually seen. It also contains a lot of other important series stuff. Like how Megatron goes purple and just decides he wants to be called Galvatron instantly. Barely comprehensible

Playing 42 All Time Classics on my DS! This game is 20 years old! It rules! It has a "chat" function that lets you draw while you play a card game! I'm still using it to doodle naked ladies all these years later! What more could you want!

Damn. I'm actually quite happy with that. I wouldn't have thought I could pull off a Thorkell. Guess watching Vinland Saga at 32 was the right time.

I don't want to be down on this toy! It is very nice. It's just that it hasn't got the real wow factor I expected from something with the Masterpiece name on it. And that should maybe be expected because it represents a new (cheaper?) direction. At least I feel OK not having MP10 now.

Sadly, I'm not going to beat around the bush, the 86 has nicer plastic. MPG is mostly the same kind of harsh sharp polymer (breakdown on the box shown) that I'd associate with cheaper toys. 86 OP is dense and buttery. MPG is noisy and it's not just the ratchets.
