October Stuff

[Aqua Prime]

I don't recall that being a problem on the Sam's Club Prime?

Plus wasn't it from 2005 or so, so fairly 'recent' still? (I guess the original Universe line isn't that recent anymore though)

I assumed being a "RID" Prime he'd suffer from cracked tyres. Even my Cybertron 2 pack re-release with Ultra Magnus suffered from cracked tyres.

2004/2005 Doesn't feel that long ago, but then you realize it's 2011. Where has the time gone? Even RID doesn't feel that long ago.

They use AEC molds mostly, IIRC. Cheetor was Clocker. I think Primal was Crumplezone, and Rhinox was Armada Hoist perhaps?

Indeed they did. Here's a run-down on which molds they used for who:

Optimus "Primal": Cybertron Crumplezone (new head)
Cheetor: Cybertron Clocker (new head)
Rhinox: Cybertron Landmine
Rattrap: Cybertron Ransack
Tigatron: Cybertron Clocker (same head as Cheetor)
Airazor: Energon Slugslinger (new head)

Megatron: Cybertron Defence Red Alert (new head)
Dinobot: Cybertron Longrack (Armada Hoist head)
Waspinator: Machine Wars Skywarp/Thundercracker
Laserbeak: Energon Divebomb
Buzzsaw: Energon Divebomb

(and for the sake of it, despite no toy)
Tarantulas: Cybertron Ransack (new head)
Scorponok: Cybertron Shortround/Energon Scorponok-y.
Terrorsaur: Energon Skyblast (new head)

As for "stuff", a pretty little bird arrived in the mail yesterday.

Saw this little fella in Target today and couldn't resist...I present 'Rescue Bots Optimus Prime'! An awesome, very cute tribute to the G1 toy if you ask me.

The face sculpt in particular is brilliant beyond words!

i was at target today and couldn't find the section for those toys at all really wanted to see them in hand.

so picked up a jetwing prime instead to soothe my road rage earlier today.

Ahah! It's great touch feeling, isn't it?

I'm still raging over my For All Mankind, came in all ragged up like tissue paper wearing the catchword "Mint"

I'm far more impressed with your own stamp mark on the bottom right corner. Great design!! Do you have a bigger print of it?

Have you checked out Myer? That's where I found my Rescue Bot Optimus Prime and Heatwave (the transforming one, not the stupid oversized electronic non-transforming one)

Nah, can't be bothered going to a store that won't price match below their cost price and they're pretty much out of my way.
