Transformers KO Diaclone Bliztwing Triple Changer "Sploo Rocket"

I know it has been a little bit since I have done an actual Transformers figure posting as opposed to one of our Transformers & Beer podcast shows.  Don't get me wrong, I have been enjoying myself immensely with the whole process of doing our show but this blog was originally started with the

intention of doing figure write-ups so it's nice as the saying goes, "getting back to what got you to the dance in the first place".  So in following with that ideology.....let's get to it.

Who Is Paying These Prices?

My friend was popping into our local Toys R Us store and decided to send me some pics of what few Transformer figures we would even consider owning from their normal mish-mash of throwaway figures.  I had to post these pics because I was unaware of how highly these figures were priced.

Nine MISB MP Cars

I've been running behind lately, what with the family, work, shovelling snow and working on two podcast shows, with possibly a third in the works, so while I do have a number of blog posts in "draft mode", I just haven't had the time to get them completed.

Photo of 'MY" day 

In the meantime, I was just looking on my shelves and realized I haven't had the opportunity to really talk about my MP Autobot cars. Here's a few photo's.
