Yup. It's kinda tricky to get Nightstick to stay sometimes though, due to the double barrels on top of the gun mode.

And another billion complaints for you guys,lol.
Aside from that,I really like the lists you guys made,and I shouldn't be surprised that there are very visible flaws with the Universe Beast Wars toys,especially Dinobot,but to be in the worst list...wow.
Once again,I thank you for the TF education.Great podcast for 2010.
Also:Legends Wheelie!Yay!
P.S.Please remind me to never meet Gizmo alone.

Re: Canadian Slag Episode 23 - You're the Best! Around!
@GMFan: You still haven't bought HA Bumblebee? That sale you predicted still hasn't hit, I could be wrong but unless massives restocks start happening we may never get a sale on HA figures. X-mas wiped all the excess Bumblebees out 'round these parts.
@Protoman - I gotta agree with you on Henkei Dinobot, the Universe deco is AWFUL but I have the Henkei version and he looks great...as long as you don't want show accurate weapons. It's MUCH better than the Beast Wars version.
As for Cheetor though, I'll stick with the Beast Wars DX version thank you very much.
I guess I'm in the minority with ROTF Sideswipe. I really wasn't too crazy for that figure. I'll buy at Tracks if they do release a repaint of him...as long as he has the Phoenix Hood deco.
P.S. I might have missed it, but was Masterpiece Grimlock excluded from the list? Or did he come out in 2008? My memory can suck at times...
Cheers!
-Ian

^There are plenty of people who haven't brought HA BumbleBee as of yet...Daniel recommended me to buy the damn thing since August...but $49 for BB....no,I can't buy it for that price.
