TWO NEW TRANFORMATORIM POSTS!

The first is my new Multiverse Gallery of different versions of Sky Lynx from various toylines.

The second is a Classic Toys Review look back at the original threads I started about two of those toys - Beast Hunters Skylynx and Combiner Wars Sky Lynx.

I know that this section is supposed to be for official Transformer products only but I figure these things are so ludicrous that Griffin will cut me a bit of slack

Excerpt from Blog: Wrist Rest Mouse Pads are all the rage these days. With more and more of us stuck in front of a computer at work or home for hours on end, the wrist can get sore. The whole idea of these kind of mouse pads is that they are filled with a squishy gel and are designed to be smooth and comforting to your wrist.

Then someone had the idea “Hey, since we are making a gel filled mat anyway, why don’t we shape the gel sacks like boobs?!”

And thus an industry was born.

I'd like to thank all the Ozformer members who have followed along with my blog over the past 12 months. The Transformer content of my site has proven far more popular than anything else and my review of TR Soundwave has actually become number one on the Google search engine for that toy!

So just a big thank you to all of you who have read and a big thank you to Griffin for letting me post here, it's very much appreciated and I always get a bit of traffic from this site.

So here are the most popular Transformer posts of different catagories from the last 12 months. I hope for those that never read them you enjoy them and for those that did you might enjoy reading them again. And if you have any Transformer related stuff you would like to see featured on my site please shout out, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Excerpt from blog: Being a dedicated JJJ listener I didn’t listen to Fox FM back when I lived in Melbourne. But my girlfriend (now wife) did and on their morning show in 2006 they had a competition called Fan-Tastic! Essentially you sent in an email discussing what you were a rabid fan of and if you sounded interesting you would get a follow-up call. If that went well they would ring you one morning for a short interview about your obsession then ask you 3 questions on the subject. Each time you answered correctly and the money went up with the option to take the money at any time – the max you could win was $500.

Well at my girlfriends suggestion I did indeed email them discussing my love of The Transformers. I received the follow up call – not knowing that I was not on air I tried to be as amusing as possible. This got me on air the following week and… well, best you watch the video and listen for yourself what happened eh!

TWO NEW TF BLOG POSTS!

Blog 1 Excerpt: The Robots in Disguise(15) toyline continues, despite being wound down somewhat to accommodate shelf space in shops for the upcoming TF5 toys. Today we will be looking at the latest wave which oddly does not involve semi-creature modes in any form. No, this wave consists of new versions of much loved (in two cases anyway) classic characters. Despite being part of the Combiner Force subline these figures do not combine, but rather try to seduce you with a mixture of new alt-modes and nostalgia. So let’s take a look at the Warrior-class Robots in Disguise: Combiner Force Blurr, Windblade and Soundwave.

Excerpt from blog: Packing and moving. Truly a terrible job. Having to pack up the entire contents of a house and get them to a secondary desitnation safely is time consuming, back breaking and frankly boring. But you can add to that list a hefty amount of stress if you have something like an expensive collection you have to move.

Curretnly my collection consists of about 2000 figures and 1000 misc items so probably about 3000 pieces all up. Moving all this is very daunting. Not only the sheer scope of packing it all in the first place, but packing it all in such a way that nothing will get lost or broken. In this two part blog I will be sharing my tips for how to move your collection in such a way that it stays safe. And thus we will start with Part 1: Packing.

Sorting instructions alphabetically huh? Never though to do it that way but there's a certain logic to it over the "by series" order to track a particular one down. Might give that a go.

Excerpt from Blog: The slow release of the Studio Series Constructicons continues. Some see it as a good thing, not overloading their budgets. Others see it as an irritation, their frustration to build Devastator from Revenge of the Fallen growing week by week. For me personally it has been neither. As someone who is happy enough with the ROFT Devastator I already own, this Studio Series has simply been a chance to fill out my collection with those onscreen Cons who never received an actually decent toy before such as Scrapmetal.

Today we are looking at one such character. The leader of the Constructicons in G1, who like Long Haul and Mixmaster got to actually keep their proper name and traditional alt-mode for the movieverse, we are looking at Scrapper.

Excerpt from Blog: What a wonderful time to be a toy collector eh? Figures we only used to dream of in our geekiest fantasies are being trotted out right left and center! A lot of that can be put down to people who loved things in their youth during the 80’s now being (supposedly) grown-ups with disposable income on their hands.

Well My Little Pony is happy to jump on that cash-in bandwagon with a new line of Crossover collectible figures. These range from Dungeons and Dragons to even Power Rangers. But today we are going to look at by far the two best of the crossover figures, because they cross over with two of the best franchises in history – Ghostbusters and Transformers.
