I'm busy tomorrow, and didn't know how much time I'd need to edit this one so I figured I'd do want I can today, get the rest done tomorrow and turns out I could do it all in a day so I figured throw it up here :P

I'm about half way through right now, but I gotta get my 2 cents in on the Botcon 07 debate. Classics, for all intents and purposes, was over at that point and Hasbro probably never anticipated the future Universe 2.0 line to extend it.
I'm sure that Hasbro made the seekers Botcon exclusives because they wanted to give us an opportunity to get those figures and finish the team even though the line was over. I honestly believe that Hasbro was going above and beyond there. And now that Classics was such a big hit we're finally getting our chance to get these figures at retail (Generations Thrust tells us that Dirge and Thundercracker are going to happen down the road)
Also, Daniel is right about the Henkei Thrust and Dirge are different from the 07 ones. I'm sure Hasbro could make tiny changes to Thundercracker as well.

*snickers* or they'll just reuse the same mold as the Botcon ones so they don't have to make a new mold as usual XD

[Protoman]

Either way they can do something as simple as a paint app change (Hell if we got 100s of full color repaints thrown at us, a little paint change won't kill us) to the figure and do a release here, that way the Botconners have something that is INDEED exclusive to them, ditto for the Henkei people (mind you it's also a mold thing) and everyone is happy....... somewhat.

Just finished listening to the podcast, fun stuff (if a little disturbing). I have to agree whole heatedly about the X-overs figures being great for kitbashing. I just recently finished my custom Flywheels made from the Hulk tank and Ironman jet. I also have Battletrap in the pipeline. And Chans' Ironfist is crazy awesome!

[chans formers]

just finished lmao listening to this episode
a few things....

• a lot of nails were hit on the proverbial head regarding exclusives
• yes,i agree,nocturn is a big kid(when he first started talking,his voice was raspy enough where i kinda wanted to hear him say="i'll get you next time gadget.....next tiiiiime")
• thanks for the shout out(and yeah,i still have to sneak bots into the house,moreso voyager class sized bots than anything)
• the last half of this episode had a lot of points that had me rotflmao!!!!
• there was a repaint of the rotf sideways mold already,deadend,albiet with a new head
• @soundwaveCA= if you ever wanna sell "noisemaze",you know where i'm at

*EDIT* When I worked at Walmart I talked with a guy who hunted the Hot Wheels T-Hunt cars. Its kinda a really really lame type of scalping lol The scalper buys the only T-Hunt car in a box of 100 Hot Wheels for aboot $1.50 and sells it on ebay or Hot Wheels fan boards for around $5.00-$10.00. The profit percent is really high, but not really worth it IMO for all the running around you do trying to find 1 T-Hunt car


OH! One last piece of useless information, the scalpers who do this dont call themselves scalpers they call themselves... Hunters lol
