...they're seriously making The Hobbit into
three
freaking movies?
The Kreo teaser image was pretty awesome. I love building toys, but I haven't had any Legos since I was 12 or so. The TF Kreos were mostly crap-looking, but I think a lot of that was "It's gotta transform!" resulting in too much compromise. Joe stuff should be much more straightforward. Will I buy any? Who knows...
Speaking of building toys, I was absolutely enraptured with the Laser Peg kits on display at Target. If I were 10 again that would unquestionably be tops on ye olde X-masse litse. The dragon set just dropped my jaw. If I could justify the $70, I'd probably jump on it. But I have so much stuff that doesn't have a displayable home, I had to pass. For now.
I had a few Starcom toys as a kid. I thought they were pretty cool. And even as a kid, I knew how magnets fuckin worked.
I can't say the same about Visionaries. I thought the holograms were neat, but nothing else about the toys really captured my imagination.
My favorite canned figure line started and ended a few years back: Capcom vs. SNK 2 by High Dream (gotta love the Japanese). I think they only put 8 figures out before the line got cancelled. But damn, they did a hell of a job on them.
I'm kind of glad I got off of the vintage G1 kick, or else I'd be broker than broke right about now, and unable to afford a Fortress Maximus.
The new-direction MP line is more than I can handle as it is. I'll probably stick with Soundwave, hoping he's RP-height... but $120 for 4 cassettes? Seriously? And I know I won't be able to drop $85 each on slightly-larger-than-deluxe-sized Autobot cars. Although with VW presumably agreeing to license the Countach for Sideswipe, this may be the only line where we can get a Porsche Jazz or VW Bumblebee...
