Man, I hate cleaning Transformers... if any of you guys buy my figures at Metrocon (please do), I hope you appreciate the fact that I just spent 3+ hours cleaning them all.

hmmm does that mean they are in "played with" condition?

...does that mean what I think it does? :S No, just 10 years worth of dust.

I don't recall a toy store on Hastings near the Save on Meats but I do recall the import shop in Chinatown with lots of Transformers. Sadly the gift shops there are nowhere as cool nowadays.

The Games People! I worked there part time and at their Lonsdale Quay location from 2000 to 2003. Lots of neat old stuff in there. The owner was really grouchy and jaded. They finally closed around 2008 when the owner passed away.

Hey, I think I remember that place... used to sell kites and stuff? That's crazy, I totally forgot that place existed.

So Aiyana and I made it through the Five Faces of Darkness episodes. She made me pause on a still of the six minibots and name them all out for her.

She actually recognized Swerve without any help, as she's been looking over my shoulder at the pictures on the comics and I have the Hasbro legends Swerve.

Aww, cute. She's good at recognizing them!

Man, this sucks, they just cut my hours at work. So now I have to find a second job or I can't afford to pay my bills.
