Mixing olde english with Japanese form poetry...that'd be a cool crossover! Like Sherlock Holmes fighting ninjas!

To finally appease G1 fans,
Sure, they were expensive,
But made us feel festive,
At long last, the Masterpiece brand!"

I cheated only slightly on the rhymes.

Bravo! I feel like partying it up with a couple oversized ales in hand like Merry and Pippin did at The Inn At The Pracing Pony now!

The haikus were a little harder than I though they'd be. So much info crammed into 3 lines with restrictions on how many syllables you can use. It's a great way to avoid rambling on and on (which I am often guilty of ).

lol I see your point good new is sunstreaker is coming soon and im prying to god Inferrno will be coming some day, as prowl and smokescreen is coming in the coming months im also hoping for ratchet and ironhide for next year .... only matter of time now...

I've purged all my Bayverse and CHUG toys and become more focused on collecting just G1 and Masterpiece. So it seems apropos that 2 recent third party-made acquisitions added to my MP shelf should be ranked in my Masterpiece Hall of (Haiku) Fame:

#2 a) Fans Toys FT-03 Quakewave

Awesome quality
Fun to convert, play friendly
Ol' One Eye done right!

#5 a) Art Feather Bumblebee

Borrowed Classics mold
(plus)
Loosey goosey Bumblebee
(equals)
Retro veedub Bug!

Initially I wanted to keep my MP shelf 3P/KO-free but shining reviews for these two convinced me otherwise. Now all I need is an MP Jazz to recreate my favourite Transformers t-shirt:

[jjwankenobi]

Whoa, already got a couple PMs asking where to get the shirt.

Truffle Shuffle out of the UK.

Yah, the "hip pants" as I call em was the biggest reason for me not getting MP Starscream.
Really bad design.
