Canadian G1 Ultra Magnus (MISB)

Nothing much special here......nope.  Certainly nothing to look at....unless you call a Canadian G1 Ultra Magnus (MISB) nothing worth looking at.

I thought that this would be a great little piece to showcase at this particular moment in time due to the recent release of MP-22 Ultra Magnus.

The Goldbergs Airs Optimus' Death on TV

I was watching one of my TV shows the other day, The Goldbergs,  and I can't help but love this show not just because of its characters, but because of the constant memories and nostalgia toys it usually brings up in every episode from my childhood every time I watch it…..and this episode was no different.  If anything, this particular episode should have some special meaning for all of us in the Transformer community…..the showing of the '84 Transformers movie, Prime's demise and how much it traumatized the majority of us.

The Goldbergs - Airdate : 01/15/15

A kids Saturday morning ritual of watching cartoons.

In an effort to help those (and that includes us) not completely familiar with the AFA grading process, we have taken excerpts and highlights of Maz's recent 1st time attempt on grading a G1 Fireflight (MOSC) and give our thoughts on the whole process as well.



Read Maz's in-depth two-part blog story at http://TFSource.com and follow along with us as we go through this highly debatable topic within our Transformers community.

New Transformer Display

It took a considerable amount of poking and prodding but it has finally happened.

I've divided the photos up by starting at the top and then working left side down following by the right; first showing the whole shelf and then the figures individually.

Kronoform Robot Watch

I like watches. It's that simple.  Even though I only own 3, I'm sure I could find the room in my drawer to add this beautiful one to my collection.

Takara made this line of watches back in the first half of the 80's which doubled as mini transforming robots.
