Ultimately, you as the customer must decide if it's worth the headache just to eventually get a decent product. In my opinion the QC issue was enough for me to (unfortunately) quit buying 'Mates. More & more of my newer ones were breaking out of the box and collecting them became a chore instead of an enjoyable hobby. I hate to hear that this is still going on. It shouldn't take this long for AA/DST/whoever to realize that this board represents their core market and it is reaching boiling point with their poor quality.

Forget Xmas, football season is "the most wonderful time of the year"! Go NY Giants!

I was pretty stoked to find a Movie Starscream with the G1 paint job the other day! Now if I could find that damn concept Camaro Bumblebee.

Flash Gordon anyone?

I am. Heroes quickly became my favorite current TV show! I can't wait to get it on DVD...

As an admitted Guitar Hero addict, you can bet I'm pumped for Rock Band!

I've got it. It's awesome. I've beaten it twice and, ironically enough, was thinking about selling it or Smackdown vs. Raw to get Madden. You looking to pick it up, or already own it and have a question?

Oh yeah!

Congrats! I'm sure that you'll discover that kids are the best investment of your time and money (and love) that there is...

Man! Have the first wave of Transformers dried up or what? I haven't seen a Barricade or Starscream in weeks! The second wave has yet to show either, so all of my local stores have big empty holes where the Transformers should be...

Neo: I took your advice and got WarioWare: Smooth Moves. I can honestly say that I've never played anything like that before! It's pretty entertaining. I was stuck on the Wario Dance Boss Battle (Tiny Wario board) for a while before I got it. Now that I have the multiplayer mode unlocked, I need to give that a try with some friends! I'm thinking about getting Sonic for the Wii next. Any opinion on that one?

The Ramones.

...hmm. That killed the topic abruptly. Freedom of Speech, fellas. Maybe you've heard of it...

I"ve got a question for you Transformers collectors that buy the little Robot Heroes. I bought the Jazz/Thundercracker pack tonight and noticed that Thundercracker only has the Decepticon logo on one of his wings. Starscream and Skywarp have it on both of their wings. If you own a Thundercracker Robot Hero, please let me know if yours has the logo on both wings. I'll have to exchange mine if it's a factory error... Thanks!

Hopefully "today only" meant for the next 24 hours. If so, I'll take #56

I feel so old! I remember transforming my G1s back and forth as a kid, but it took me an hour to transform Starscream and Protoform Starscream once and back to original form. Either the new ones are intricately designed or their instructions are a lot harder to decipher. Not only that, but they both had parts that would go flying off if they were barely bumped the wrong way. Anybody else have a bit of trouble with the movie Transformers?

OK, Wii-fanboys: I have Wii Sports and Wii Play. I need a new game and want something else like these (fun/easy/multiplayer). Raving Rabbids, Mario Party 8, Monkey Ball, Big Brain Academy, Wario Ware, etc all come to mind. Any recommendations???

OK. I'm confused. I go to the site, log in, get to the Radical Confidential & when I click on the Minimate thumbnail, it doesn't go to the pic. How does one get to "page 2"????

McQuarrie Stormtrooper & Boba Fett!

I quit buying Minimates too. (too expensive and fragile for me) Like TBT said, you should still swing by on occasion. The "Minimate Arms" and "Other Toys and Collectibles" areas are still very cool places to rap about things other than Minimates. If not, good luck in your 'Mate-free future!

Yuck! That Spidey wave is weak. I used to be a serious ML completist, but the last ML wave I bought was the Legendary Riders. The only Hasbro ML I've bought is She-Hulk. Too bad there wasn't a Fantastic Four variant of her! I've almost bought the armored Thor a couple of times, but the bland paint on him (mentioned above) has been the deal breaker for me...

Yeah, I really like these little guys too! Although it will be considered blasphemy around here, I quit Minimates due to the poor quality of the later waves and focused on these. At least I don't have to worry about my Super Hero Squad/Galactic Heroes' arms or legs busting off right out of the package!

Chase? No, it's just not released yet. He's going to be in the next wave. Him, Arcee and Dreadwing. So don't start worrying yet. There'll be plenty of him to go around. Thanks for the info! I've been all over town tonight searching for it. It seems like even the "classic Camaro" Bumblebee is less plentiful than the rest of the characters. I was getting worried! Does anybody have the $40 Optimus Prime or Megatron? If so, are they worth the cash?

I'm trying to track down one of the chase 2008 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Transformers. If anyone can help, please PM me! Thanks!

The movie was fantastic. All of the complaints about character develpment, dialogue, etc are true, but could be said for just about any movie made these days. You can disect any movie and find faults. If you want to see an action-packed movie with sh*t blowing up and badass robot fights galore, you probably won't find anything better until the sequel comes out. Did I mention the two unbelievably hot women that are in the movie?
