So today I started opening some of my Hannukah gifts - not open open, just taking some of the stuff out of the box. I'm not a MIB kind of person. I don't think these toys have real value outside of the emotional joy they bring. And I take care of my figures well enough they're mint either way.

Anyhow - TF Prime toys. I. Am. impressed. The character likeness is amazing, and not just the sculpt, but the transform as well. Granted this assessment is based solely on the Bumblebee and Starscream I opened. I'm going to open the others later because I'm making this last.

We (sis and I) couldn't find Bulkhead though. The back of Optimus' box said he was available, but no go here. Doesn't help that it's right after Christmas too, because it's going to be a bitca to find outside the interwebs.

Also, what is up with making Cliffjumper (who is in ONE pilot episode before getting killed of in the first 15 minutes, and maybe the 4 prequel comics) but not having Ratchet?! What fleshy earthling logic is this? I love my grumpy old medic bot. "He needs me, and I've come to need him as well" - seriously, how does that not melt hearts?

I didn't get the Ultimate Optimus Prime figure from the Dark of The Moon series. I want him. Bad. But I can't justify $100 on a toy, now. Even on sale, he's still $60. I need to get the promised cash flow going from the University before I go out and do something that risky.

The boredom made me write this - sorry for clogging your feed.
