You see "washed out," I see show-accurate purple Frumble.
I opened my Hasbro set tonight to verify that the toys fared better than the box. And I was all, "OoOOOooooOOOOooOOoO!" I understand both sides of the Frumble color debate, and I'm not going to tell anyone else what to call their toys. I grew up on the cartoon though, so seeing those colors (or at least close enough to evoke them) on a toy made me go all happyface for a bit, no matter what name is on the box.
Now I just gotta decide which to keep. /firstworldproblems
Also, I picked up a Bludgeon on ebay tonight. It was a little more than I wanted to pay, but I've decided to keep my Jetfire set intact. I didn't want to dick around trying to save $5 or so, so I sniped an auction by pennies. This is notable because my phone started buzzing as I was driving to Target to return a fan and I couldn't figure out why. When I parked I looked and remembered I had set an alarm for the auction end. So I decide to see if Sprint's garbage data would let me keep tabs, and see that the auction was still in my range. I did some quick math, factoring in shipping, and determined what the likely "round number" high bid would be IF it came in under my range. Then I added a dollar and 6 cents to it (randomly chosen), and waited. And waited. The last few minutes of the auction saw the typical dollar bid ups, and I rolled the dice on my data connection holding (no small thing with Sprint) and waited until there were 10 seconds left to place my bid. It did not immediately go through... but another bid did. Mine went through with 3 seconds left, leaving next to no time for anything but an auto-sniping program to react. My bid was more than a dollar over the current visible bid so it was valid... but it was only 6 cents over that bidder's max bid. This, gentlemen, is why you should never bid early on something you want.
