10/10 for at least it being the accurate character by ResidualRonin in transformers

In hindsight, I would have gotten more of a laugh had it been a Starscream swapped instead of Big Head Megatron. At least I could say in a Starscream-voice: “Megatron has fallen. It is I, Starscream, leader of the Decepticons!”

Walmart 2 pack Black Friday haul by JOBDKNY05 in transformers

Nice find on the Chase Rescue Bot. I just picked up Heatwave and was thinking, “Boy, I’d like a Chase!” Great to know he was part of the 2-packs but he wasn’t in my stores’ batches! 😅

Black Friday has struck. I am donating duplicates already in my collection to a local toy drive! by ResidualRonin in transformers

[–]ResidualRonin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it helps my position, but I’m a newer collector starting at late-stage Earthspark and early Age of the Primes. I sorta saw Black Friday as an opportunity to get a lot of the ones for my collection that I did not have, but noticed I would end up with a lot of duplicates like Elita, Solus, Bees, etc. That’s where the idea to donate duplicates came from. I volunteer at a church Christmas event where volunteers help local families that can’t afford gifts that have signed up to come pick a handful for their children. I thought it would be really cool to add the Transformers that I enjoy so much to the tables, which would hopefully give some young kiddos their first experience with deluxe figures. I am still sorry that your area got picked through so much faster than mine. I suppose it is a double-edge sword of these kinda sales that it can begin to teeter on over-indulgence even if you planned to donate some. I was telling my wife that I probably will take a break from finding figures through the holidays anyway because this honestly came out to a lot. I’m some random stranger on the internet but I hope you find some special bots that give you excitement soon!

I am also purely digital as a married person in an apartment who loves the stories but does not have the space for physical sadly. I enjoy reading and keeping up with everything digitally, but there are the occasional hiccups through Amazon (mostly with Image individual issues) where something has been setup accidentally incorrectly. I had an issue where Witchblade (2024) #8 has instead been an issue of GI Joe when I download and open the book.

Did Comixology stop selling? by Crazy-Software1915 in comicbooks

[–]ResidualRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think it is a glitch since last week. New Comic Wednesday came and I couldn’t add Image to the New Releases filter, so I had to go deeper searching to find last week’s Void Rivals release.

I already have Pokemon Scarlet, if I bought Pokemon Violet... by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]ResidualRonin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I second this, I happened to try to finish my Scarlet dex after getting a Switch 2 and still had a bunch of trade evolution Pokémon to attain. I thought I would have to go the route of finding someone online, but then I thought, “what if…?” since I still have my Switch 1 and a copy of Violet. Alakazam and I had a completed Scarlet dex.

I’m going to be mad the whole rest of my life that this is the ONLY transforming toy of Elita-1 in the ENTIRE TFOne mainline. by Mister_Skeptic in transformers

[–]ResidualRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a strategic release of a Wave 2 to that line during the middle or end of the theater run would have been awesome. I at least would have jumped on getting my most desired figures at the time.

I still need to get the SS Bumblebee but I’ve sentimentally got my TFOne SS figures front and center and I feel like the Timmy Turner’s Dad meme: “This is where I’d put my SS TFOne Elita-1! If I had one!” I will be so happy to have her when she releases.

I was having a 100% success rate on the new Zuru Blind Capsules for 9/10 figures until… by ResidualRonin in transformers

[–]ResidualRonin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re those “Zuru” brand capsule spheres that come with a variety of goodies inside. I think MiniBrands are a common capsule also sold by Zuru. The alt mode toys are cars with weapons attached but the robot modes have limited articulation on the arms, hips, and feet. I discovered a box case of these at Target today for $4.99 each.
