As a child, I wasn't in tears, but I can remember thinking how wonderful it was to have Transformers with more mature themes. All of the deaths in the film (even those of my beloved Trinity) were glorious. I resented how many of them were undone (to an extent) in the following season. I remember jumping up and cheering when Megatron/Galvatron FINALLY obliterated Starscream (Meggie was always my favorite character) in such a satisfying way. You know when you're a kid, all you want to do is grow up...and when you grow up, all you want to do is be a kid again.

Went on a Joe run today at WM, TRU and Best Buy and picked up the Outpost Defender and Snarler Cycle at WM. I bought ROC and Resolute at Best Buy and I got the two TRU exlusives, Benchpress and two Snow Serpents.

Youth is wasted on the young. It's so ironic. To have all that energy and excitement and innocence and lack the experience and hindsight to be able to appreciate it 'til it's gone. Still, I suppose we are always children in a way. Experience only teaches you how you should have done things when you were younger. It doesn't necessarily help you with challenges in the present tense that you've never faced before. And so many of us have to learn everything the hard way. Leto II in "God Emperor of Dune" has some good quotes about that, something about what a waste of effort it is to attempt to deter the young from losing themselves in their pleasures because the only way they can truly accept those pleasures are not the path to fulfilment is to experience it for themselves.

Those 4 playsets at WM are going to hurt the wallet, again! but I really want them bad. I think they will do another wave of 4 next year with the Desert, Arctic Threat, Jungle and City Strike themes. How cool would a Cobra Coastal Defender in black and grey urban camo with an Alley-Viper and a SAW or Heat-Viper be for a City Strike set?
