Argh! King idiot here just gouged a few holes in his Hasbro Exclusive comic cover when opening his Generations Megatron with a pair of scissors!

I hate blister packs ! remembering first time trying to open spawn figure and not to wreck the art background ! Always seem to get it ripped

Yeah, in the end I've sticky-taped it up on the inside of the cover so you can only tell if you really look, and put it in a comic book plastic pocket to live forever. Still annoying though as it's an exclusive cover (there are probably only a few million in the whole world ) and it's actually one of my fav IDW issues - the portrayal of the SScream & Megs relationship is awesome! So I would have liked another version of the issue sitting raound to read. Ah well, my own damn fault

This video shows how to open a carded toy. Although he cuts toward himself - which is what I used to do when I was collecting Beast Wars... and cut myself once or twice, since then I always cut away from myself.

As most Sydney fans know, I have a Toy Liberation/Emancipation Kit, which is a small Transformers tin pencil box which consists of:
+ A box cutter: for cutting blisters
+ A hobby knife: also for cutting blisters
+ A pair of tin snips: for cutting twist ties

Place I used to work at, if they caught you cutting toward yourself with a stanley knife once you got a warning. Second time was your job. I've seen some VERY serious injuries from doing that.

My cat knocked my ROTF Armorhide off of it's shelf and its gun snapped off.

haha i had to ban my cat from coming near my desk, after i caught her chewing on some of my lego -_-

yeah i don't understand the reasoning behind cutting towards yourself... i even tell my wife off for using a peeler in that way

So the other day I was at my local Big-W (which has a very small Transformers range) and noticed an entire rack full of Cyberverse Commander Class Transformers. $5 each, I got Starscream, Bulkhead and Megatron (No OP )
Anyway, all the weapons broke as soon of out of package except one of Starscreams guns. Megatron sword broke, and Bulkheads 3mm ports snapped and one of Starscreams 3mm ports broke so it is now being used as a sword.
Next Starscreams wing breaks and Megs leg breaks off at knee. And Bulkheads arms fall off all the time. I've kept them though, Starscreams wing goes back into place pretty easily but I've blu tacked Megs leg on until I get a replacement.

Wow, that's surprising, I really liked the cyberverse commanders, the only breakage I had was dreadwings gun at the skinny end, which I accidentally crushed during transport.

I just got DoTM Cyberverse Commander Megs and OP and am happy to say they are much better then Prime Commanders
