My roommate used to blast Rumors every weekend, now I cannot stand Fleetwood Mac in any of its varied forms.Quote:

Unfortunately experiences like that can turn us against certain music. I totally understand where you're coming from.Quote:

I hear ya. I don't dislike Ironhide, but I couldn't take responsibility for someone spending money they worked hard to get on him either.
I have another big music thing like that, and most people claim it's blasphemy, but I generally cannot stand The Beatles from overexposure as a kid.
Have you heard all the various incarnations of FM, JT? The original lineup is closer to early Led Zeppelin than Stevie Nicks, and the Welch era was mostly pop but produced some pretty cool prog-rock numbers (I love "Hypnotized" particularly).
I have to disagree with you if you're speaking from experience--they're awesome in all versions. Even that album with Dave Mason that most fans pretend never happened.
Movie figures. Looked like BumbleBee in ROTF (not DOTM) packaging, mind you. At least that's what I saw.Quote:

Then I thought of a NEW DISCUSSION TOPIC.
Anyone purchasing those Hercules or Giant 3rd party Devastators?
I'd just like to own a couple of the combiners - probably in the yellow Giant's colors, to add to my Voyager / Deluxe BAYFORMERS.
I have:
BF Voy Long Haul
BF Voy Scavenger
BF Voy Mixmaster
BF Del Rampage (G1 Bonecrusher)
If the "3P Giant" Scrapper is perhaps on the Del scale size, with the Hasbro ROTF figures, I'd be interested.
They also make Hook. G1, but not a Bayformer, they'll probably never make Overload (the flatbed truck) that was the closest to the G1 character as BF HighTower had no G1 equivalent he paid homage to.
G1....................................ROTF
1) Scrapper............................Scrapper
2) MixMaster..........................MixMaster
3) BoneCrusher......................Rampage (Bonecrusher's name was used as a mine-clearing vehicle in the first movie)
4) Scavenger.........................Scavenger (Demolisher also scanned the same form for use in ROTF)
5) Long Haul.........................Long Haul
6) Hook................................Overload (not the same vehicle or character)
.......................................HighTower (important as one of Devastator's arms in ROTF)
I would like to see the comparison pictures of Scrapper (Giant toy preferably) next to ROTF Mixmaster et. all in both modes.
Hook is another contender for the same.
I hope Scrapper is about Deluxe sized, and Hook is about Voyager sized.
I have requested this over at TFW2005, but it is such a large community over there that I think my post could have been lost, unless it was deliberately ignored. I'm not really known on the boards over there, but someone did sell me a loose HA Barricade and Frezy set.
I'm looking for one more, btw: HA Barricade and Frenzy (loose or boxed, complete).[not to mention Soundwave and Leadfoot toys from DOTM].
I per-ordered the green Maketoys Giant. All of those figures are around deluxe size to maybe a little smaller. The Hercules figures are deluxe to maybe a little bigger. The result is that Giant is about an inch or two shorter than Hercules. There's a really great video review series evaluating each with a compare and contrast that was on the TFW homepage earlier this week.
Are the 3rd party Constructicons sold separately, or only as a set?
The green Make Toys are sold as a set, the yellow ones are sold in pairs. Hercules is sold as individual figures. They are relatively expensive, and I think Hercules is especially expensive.
I'm saving up to get those, but will probably quit half way through. Probably go which ever route is cheaper. I believe the set sold in pairs goes for 100 buck a set, so three hundred total. I thought the other set was 600 total.
I picked up Cyberverse Dreadwing two weeks ago and the wing fell off. Looks like a faulty screw. I can "snap" it back in, but it cannot be played rough with. I might fix it later but since I basically just have them on display at work and only transform him when I'm board, fixing it is not on my priority list. I do think it is a very nice figure outside of that.
