Well, Heavytread's legs form the back of the tank, not the front, which may be where you're having trouble. Seriously though, mine's pretty solid, are you remembering to flip out that ass-plate in vehicle mode so his legs can peg into it? This stabilizes the back end considerably, and might help. It really is a rock-solid toy, I love that Groundspike turns into a cowcatcher, and the way the turret transforms into Onslaught/Bruticus-esque double back cannons for torso mode.

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I wouldn't mind tossing you the Rallybots since, honestly, I'd feel a little bad pawning Double Clutch off on some unsuspecting kid. The drones are actually pretty cool, but the core figure itself...could have used a little more time in development, I think.

Yeah, and I'm having trouble getting the legs to connect with the front. It made sense in my head, anyway.

Dub-Clutch sounds like a pretty weak figure by all accounts, but hell, I think he's the only mold in this line I don't have now, so I figure he's worth a shot.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as too smarmy. I did get what you meant. Like I said, mine's not having any issues, I just fold those bits with the blue plugs inside, peg the thighs into that fold-out buttplate, and it all connects up.

Anyway, I forgot to mention yesterday that I picked up Persona 3 FES for the PS2. I just beat P4 a couple days ago, and it was an awesome, awesome game, and it made me want to go back and try out P3, and I remembered that my local Gamestop had a copy of FES, the upgrade/epilogue-included version of that game floating around, so I took the opportunity to head there and snag it. I'm only an hour or so into P3 now, and I like the darker, more ominous atmosphere comared to P4, but man, you can totally tell how they streamlined the interface in the sequel. I already badly miss being able to compare all my party members' stats before I buy new equipment for them, or easily check spell effects and Persona weaknesses. Not to mention being able to warp from location to location by hitting Square rather than having to manually walk around every single map every time. Whatevs, I'll probably get used to it; I'm really just happy to have more Persona to play.

Picked up the Beast Wars seasons 2 and 3 box set on DVD. I got tired of finding "the next episode" on my old tapes since they're all out of order, so that was a good excuse to go ahead and buy the DVDs.

Hey, no big deal. I must be doing something wrong with my Heavytread, because I still can't get the tank together right. On the other hand, screw it, because he'll likely be displayed as a combined robot most of the time.

The 'rents bought me some pants this weekend. Cause my fat ass can't fit the ones I have.

Not always! Look at my girlfriend. She's working retail because, fuck it, there are No Jobs, and Everyone had to work Black Friday. It's why she's in cosmetology school right now, so she doesn't have to do shit like that.

Fucking tell me about it. I 'keep having to buy pants' because all my other pants don't fit anymore. I am ridiculously putting on weight.

Anyway, haulses:

-Sonic Generations for 360, $30. So far it's the best Sonic game in years but that...isn't saying much. It still has a few problems but they aren't usually the 'same' problems as previous games, so, er, good on that?
-Borderlands Game Of The Year Has All The DLC Edition, 360, $20. Borderlands is huge and awesome. Buy it and play it with me.
-Super Meat Boy, XBLA game, $5. Totally worth that, super-fun game that is totally worth your time.

Tell you what, guys, my girl's pretty much awesome.

Truth.

Dub-Clutch sounds like a pretty weak figure by all accounts,

Also truth.

Fucking tell me about it. I 'keep having to buy pants' because all my other pants don't fit anymore. I am ridiculously putting on weight.

Solidarity.


Okay, my hauls:

-2 RTS Starscream figures for customizing. (If anybody needs one, let me know. They are sitting on my work trunk now, in my fiddle pile. I will not get to them before Friday at the earliest.)

-customizing yielded: TFU style Magnificus from an RTS Perceptor. I have not made Gamede yet. I am not sure if I want to make this an RTS figure, (with a rubsight) or a standard TFU figure (with normal faction sigils). But, if I do not make Gamede, I may as well assign Magnificus a proper pre-exile faction. Oh, and that mould is a damn nightmare to work with.


Dom
-fun fact: Magnificus has a rank of zero.

Yeah, I wouldn't. This was happening loooooong before our deal and actually, when the stuff came in I was doing pretty good (I could even button my tuxedo jacket a week ago. It was Thanksgiving that pretty much ruined it. Now that that's over I can go back to the diet and start losing again.
