Discussion:

Hello again,

Here’s my next round of questions.

1. Do you have a figure or figures that you love but the rest of the world hates? For me, I really enjoy the MPG trainbots. I haven’t combined them and even broke one early on but got a free replacement. I just love their blocky-goofiness. As a masterpiece, they suck, but are fine for Chug.

1. Is anyone getting the magic square Grimlock? I have all the recolors for the newage dinobots, minus clear and love them; however, the MS one just looks better in the dino mode. I’m tempted to get a set of MS dinobots for dino mode and use the newage for bot.

1. Rich mentioned the constant upgrading that comes with buying mainline and I personally hate it. I really wish that Hasbro would have a collector line that is smaller than masterpiece. These figures could be the definitive screen representation of characters. I’d expect a premium price and everything that goes along with it: better paint, accessories, and articulation. There are some Studio Series figures out now that I think would work. The new Ultra Magnus is perfect. Studio Series Hot Rod is close but needs better paint. Kingdom Rodimus doesn’t work because of the robot mode being off. Any thoughts? Would any of you be into something like this?

1. Finally, what is the most expensive figure you ever broke? I broke the new MP-44 toy version during the transformation the day I got him. The paint on the windshield panel was so thick that it snapped. Luckily Amazon Japan sent me a free replacement.

Anyway, thanks again! Expect more questions soon

Hello Mr All Hail.  Thanks for reading my question on your last episode about which of your transformer collection you’d save in a fire and if you’d keep collecting.  Rich asked for my answer so here it goes.  I may just save my G1 Jazz I had as a kid because he was my favorite growing up and no, I would probably end my collecting if everything turned to ash. There would be a Ryan BF (before fire) and Ryan AF (after fire).

New question for this week: What was the most egregious thing you did to your transformers growing up that makes you cringe now as an adult collector?  Sorry if this is a duplicate question, I really only listen to the podcast episodes that Rich is on.
