Yeah, I bought even more new Transformers this week.

Finally, I now have the chaos bringer!

Thanks to a tip I read on The Allspark, I was able to buy myself a planet eating god of destruction for a paltry $30 Canadian. The price tags on the shelf said that it was over twice the price, but the store computers at Wal-Mart told a different tale. It’s the black Energon version, not the orange Armada version (which I will probably buy later anyways), but now after wanting one for so long, I finally have Unicron, and he’s a big, bad, monster of a robot. So if you’re in Canada, check your local Wal-Mart because this excellent price is apparently in effect all over the country, though who knows for how long.

And just today, after searching all week, I got the brand new Transformers Universe Ramjet with four Minicons, exclusive to Toys R Us. And I bet I got it before it hit saturation in the US too, which is nice for a change. Some people complain that the Air Military Minicons are barely recoloured from their original release, but I don’t really care since they’re new to me. It’s a great value for what you’re getting.

I was hoping to finally get ahold of the 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime, since Wal-Mart has apparently got it for $50 Canadian now, which is a freakin’ unbelievable price, but I wasn’t able to find one there. It might seem like I’m spending a lot, but honestly I’m really behaving here. There’s so much new stuff coming out and so much more released a while ago that I didn’t get. I’m just picking up the few that I really like to keep pace with what’s out there.

If I were screaming rich, of course, I’d buy them all. Hmm, Maybe some day.

I adopted a cute lil’ ninja fetus

from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!

Disturbing, and yet fascinating. Perhaps this can provide clues into my secret origin?

I love April Fools Day.

Got an interesting guestbook post from “Tai” recently, where it was exclaimed that “Transforers rule!!!!“

Thank you for informing me of this. I, personally, perfer TransforMers over Transforers, but what do I know, right?

Yeah yeah, I kid. Guestbook posts are always welcomed and highly encouraged.

I’m finished work at Comic Book Masters for the time being so, and so my time away from the makeshift classroom has afforded me a luxury that far too many take for granted: Saturday Morning Television.

You know what I saw today? I saw something so horrifying it made my eyeballs burst from my skull like two overripe cherries.

I saw… Power Rangers.

Ok, I exaggerate. It wasn’t that bad. Some moments were actually fairly entertaining, I suppose. I caught the tail end of an episode of “Ninja Storm“, and what had to be the first episode of the new “Dino Thunder“, featuring the return of Tommy, the original Green Ranger. The episode was titled “Day of the Dino“. How clever. The production values certainly seem higher than Power Rangers did back in the day, and there was actually some sort of plot. Of course, I made fun of it anyway. I mean, when you’re introducing a character who’s wearing an all red soccer uniform, do you think that maybe, just maybe, he’ll be the new red ranger?

As is well known by know, my opinion on the original Sentai series isn’t much better. But there is a similar show that I’ve become a big fan of, and it’s currently available for free download. It’s called Chou SeiShin GranSazer, and it rocks. It takes a lot of the better elements of Power Rangers (the transformations, the robots, the fighting, and so on) and throws away a lot of the lame stuff. It doesn’t stick to one predictable formula either, and there’s a pretty epic story line. Good looking girls too. If you’re into Japanese live action like I am, check out a few episodes at TV-Nihon while you can and let me know on the board what you thought about it.

And, yeah, I watch the live action Sailor Moon series too. As a matter of fact, I watch it very carefully.

Look at what I got!

That’s right, all you Yankee Crackas out there. Transformers Energon Ultra Magnus is mine!

So Transformers.com says that they’re not going to be shipping any more of this guy, and thus an already hard to find and highly sought after Transformer goes through the roof in value. Well I don’t care anymore, because I found one yesterday and snapped it up. Now it’s mine! Bwahahaha!

The crazy thing is that, even though all of the parts were there and nothing seemed to be wrong with it, I’m 100% positive that the one I bought was a return. So someone bought it and opened it up, but than decided that they didn’t want it any more and took it back to the store. Now tons of TransFans who don’t already have one are either scouring their local stores looking for it or paying out the nose on eBay or whatever. Well I don’t care because it’s mine! Bwahahaha!

Earlier this week I also bought Transformers Universe Skywarp, a black and purple recolour of Beast Machines Jetstorm. He’s a very cool looking toy that has been selling out rather quickly. Here’s a pic of him alongside the Heroes of Cybertron version of his namesake.

Awesomeness.

If I could get my hands on the US exclusive Jhiaxus, then I’d have all the different recoloued releases of that toy. For some reason, accomplishing this goal is important to me.

So I went back to the doctor’s office yesterday to see if the x-rays had shed any light on the problems with my wrist. There wasn’t really much in the way of new information, though. He said that there is a possible fracture, which he mentioned the last time I saw him. There was something in the x-ray that should not be there, but no one is sure what it is. The exact language used was “a line“, so I don’t know if there’s a crack or is someone opened up my hand and drew on there one day. It doesn’t make a lot of sense though, because I never did anything to seriously injure myself that I can remember, so if there is a fracture, then how did it get there?

I go back in a month. Until then, the prescription is ice. I’ve got to ice my wrist every day. I have to take it easy and not push myself, so I can’t really be producing a lot of artwork any more, which is not the news that I wanted to hear, but I’ll have to deal with it. I’ve been working hard to finish off one more piece for this site, but after that things will slow to a trickle.

Here’s some good news, though. Batman and Superman Animated box sets? Could it be true? Finally? YES!
