Canadian Slag Episode 65 - The Six Million Dollar Slag

This time around the the Slaggers get asked a bunch of listener questions and each member brings their own brand of insight on the fandom and toy line in an in depth roundtable discussion. Needless to say being in the Transformers community as long as these guys have been, the stories really unfold in this one!

Canadian Slag Episode 65 - The Six Million Dollar Slag
Host: Chris w/ Daniel, Ian, and Wendel
- Roundtable discussion on six listener questions:
- What different fan mindsets have you run into?
- Do any of you ascribe to any of these particular mindsets?
- Is there a TF line that you must have some of to be called a TF fan?
- Is there a single figure that all TF collectors must have?
- Are third party items the Mazarati's of the TF world? Or do they even deserve to be referred to as TF's?
- If TF snobs bug you, what do you like to tell them when encountered in person?

Pretty unique topics for this one guys. The only complaint I would have is no fault of yours just that the I was getting so into the topic that I wanted to chime in and be part of the conversation.

Re: Canadian Slag Episode 65 - The Six Million Dollar Slag

Fun podcast as usual. I loved the Dr Smoov references at the beginning.

Do you guys ever try to one-up each other by purchasing stuff before the other or by buying some rare limited figure and taunting the other till he/her grows a deep seated hatred in their heart which manifests in the form of playful yet questionable threats?

Re: Canadian Slag Episode 65 - The Six Million Dollar Slag

- What different fan mindsets have you run into?
I've mostly run into the general fan of all things TF, and there those who are particular to one continuity or another, so I guess I've been lucky?

- Do any of you ascribe to any of these particular mindsets?
I think I fit somewhere in the Beast Wars/BW2 group of the fandom. I have nothing against the other series, I enjoy them, but for some reason BW/BW2 just hits that sweet spot, ya know?

- Is there a TF line that you must have some of to be called a TF fan?
Without a doubt Classics/Universe/Generations. I will admit having at least 1 G1 toy does help, but I feel the Classics line - and its successors - are figures you have no excuse not to own given their availability in the last 5-6 years.

- Is there a single figure that all TF collectors must have? Any Optimus Prime. Yes, I know this is a cop-out, but let's be fair here. He's the hallmark of the franchise; no matter what, if you asked someone what the first thing they think of when you say "Transformers" is, they'll probably say "that truck guy" or "Prime". More specifically, Classics or G1 Prime.

- Are third party items the Mazarati's of the TF world? Or do they even deserve to be referred to as TF's?
Anything that goes from one form to another is technically a "Transformer", so it's all about brand names imo. Technically they're Transformers, but they do so much more that I feel they are better suited in their own category.

- If TF snobs bug you, what do you like to tell them when encountered in person?
If you like something, good for you. Don't be a total prude about it to others though.

Not really...we're all too laid back for that...and overall we typically don't go nuts to get the latest figures. For me personally that's kind of an over hyped vanity. If I want something I'll get it eventually, and I don't really care if someone else gets it first. That kind of jealousy is just stupid.

When it comes to rare stuff...I dunno...we all have our own rare figures. I got a bunch of rare Magnus shit Daniel doesn't have, Daniel has a bunch rare Hot Rod/Rodimus shit I don't have but it doesn't really effect us either way....though if I had something rare Hot Rod/Rodimus related that he didn't have yet I know Daniel may throw a fit :P

At most, if one of use buys something before the other we usually share our pros and cons about the toy. It would be a more sharing of information than bragging rights.

If anything we brag about sales and deals we get. That's a whole other story or just check out ep 64.

I agree. Sure a lot of the rare Ultra Magus stuff GMfan finds I would like to have too for my own personal collection, but I am happy for him and it goes to the right person, not to mention when he finds stuff I never knew existed.
