    So just refund or sell them!!! From the moment you got Blaster and Heavy Load you've consistently shown a dislike for them... I can't help but wonder:
    1/ Why did you buy them in the first place
    2/ Why don't you get rid of them?

    "And therefore?"
    "A WITCH!!!"

    I think he's finding that although the moulds are great, the characters don't transfer well at all to them, so it looks like he's trying to make them fit.

    I look at blaster and go nah, it's not blaster, it's cybertron soundwave.

    Well 1/ -Blaster does look cool and I don't have that mould.
    -I can justify the purchase by placing him amongst my general Autobot army.(I don't classify Tf's the way Hasbro/Takara or standard Tf lore does. The Diggerverse is a very inclusive plane of existence)
    -I have an unhealthy obsession of buying whatever Tf appears at retail now from Scout/Basic class up. That's why I have Heavy Load when the reasons for obtaining him are much weaker than Blaster.

    As for 2/ My materialistic obsession wont let me get rid of Tf's. Even when I have four of the same G1 figure I find I have to really push myself to part with it even though I have no true need for four of the same thing. I'm working with a therapist to overcome this affliction.

    You can start your therapy by giving me one of your Galaxy Commanders.

    With some of the toys, you just gotta take the chance to see if they redeem themselves out of packaging (photos and obscured packaging distort the impression), and sometimes they do, or take some time to grow on you.

    That is very true.

    I found that with Alternators Hound.

    I didn't really like it at first and got it because it was only $20, my opinion of it was that is was the worst one.

    I then played with it, and I fully changed. It became the best alternator ever on my list.

    My main soft spot is for _realistic_ alt modes. Whether it's a organic beast, real model of fighter jet or a licensed sports car, doesn't especially matter.

    I tend to like the Lamborghinis (:


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister
