December's Decorations

[GoktimusPrime]

I adore the presentation of those ehobby seeker jet reissues. They present better than the original G1 boxes.

Not all Collector's Edition Transformers were eHobby exclusives, certainly the jets weren't. Most were Japanese convention exclusives, except for Dirge who was exclusive to the 20th Century Toy Museum.

I got home from my trip back to Tassie for Xmas to find MTMTE TPB #4 and #5, and RID TPB #5 in my letterbox. Merry Xmas!

Now I'm ready for Dark Cybertron!

More Than Meets the Eye is such an awesome series. I hope Roberts writes it forever....

To tell you the truth, I'd been enjoying RID more than MTMTE through the first few TPBs, but things certainly got cracking story-wise in #4 and #5 for MTMTE.

Horses for courses, as they say, but I think all fussing around with relationships was a little off-putting for a story that promised to be full of adventure. I enjoyed the more serious tone of RID but have and always will detest Starscream as a character, so I'm looking forward to some proper badness from others in Dark Cybertron, though shattered to hear that Starscream survives and will be featuring in the stories post-DC.

Not wanting to turn it into a detailed discussion in the acquisitions thread, so will quickly say a few short words. I agree that in starting out, RiD was very promising (ie: the first TPB), but after that, I think it just went downhill with bad dialogue and it devolved into yet another big smack down type story. They were on Cybertron for gwards sake, there is so much story potential, and Barber has SO many A-List characters, but it got boring after the first TPB.

MTMTE just gets better and better, Roberts weaves an intricate story web, explains lots of TF lore, explains stuff that Furman touched on, and gives characters character.

I did a comparison here if you are interested to have a read.

Generations Swerve and Cosmos arrived today. Actually bigger than I expected.

So I went junk hunting... spent just over $20~ here is what I found:





I was more than stoked to get the Legends Devastator combiner. I been hunting for him a while, but wasn't willing to risk getting what looked like a KO on a lot of them. So, very happy man today
