All Hail Unicron: Episode 72 Skibbidy Ohio GYAT

INTRODUCTION

Anybody Get Anything?

—---------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shatte….Hi guys,

Last episode was a bit like the old days when there was a lot of news and it didn’t matter who made it.

I know this because I’m listening to Shattered Cast Uncut again beginning with episode #70. I think that’s the time I started listening. I’m currently at #94 and saw all your young fat faces (I’m old and from Europe)

 It’s a bittersweet experience. That chemistry of 6/7 people was awesome. It’s also bittersweet because that’s almost 10 years ago. (2015) But when I look at my collection there are several mentioned toys that I still haven’t swapped out. And somehow they give me the feeling those times were better or at least more exciting because everything was new and we had hope.

My question is; which time do you prefer most? The time everything was new, or the time you have options and can wait for the next obvious gaps? I know the answer depends on what or which you collect. If you disagree too much, please look at where we are now. (But is it more exciting?)

Thankyou for all those years and I’m still listening.

Kind regards,

Quint the Quinturion

Dear Mr. All Hail,

First of all, I want to give a shout out to Justine regarding Go-bots. I first got into Go-bots before transformers and still have my childhood collection including 2 Turbos to this day.

My question tonight is how do you all handle conversations about transformers with general people outside your collecting circles? For example, when someone finds out you are into transformers but then spouts out obviously wrong (I.e. saying that they had that exact masterpiece figure growing up as a kid) or very strong opinions that you know will be a waste of time engaging in (I.e. how every collector must still be living inside their parents basement).

I for one am very cautious to engage or maybe just make a quick comment to move the conversation along, but it’s always awkward.

Thanks. Keep up the good work

——Noob Ryan

Hey guys, I really enjoy the show.  Previously, a listener asked about the most expensive toy you've ever broken, and I have a follow up question or two...

What is the most expensive toy/collectable that you have broken that belonged to someone else? (Maybe it's a better question when you have Bobby Skullface as a guest host )

I will confess that mine is a Gigapower Sludge that belongs to the one and only Preorder...  I still stand by my statement that the thumb joint was a poor design.

Follow up question... I have heard that Justin is really good at fixing broken toys.  Want to take a shot at poor thumbless Sludge?

Love the show, keep up the entertaining work.

Hey Heralds,

I was listening to the podcast for your last May show and had some thoughts about the topics.  Rich asked about what the listeners thought about the new Springer coming out with minor retools and increase in price.  I'm on board with you all.  I'm tired of Hasbro doing multiple versions of the same thing with minor tweaks and changes or just adding accessories to justify the increased cost. I get that Hasbro wants to increase profits and that by doing these simple things, they can.  Just like with the recent Autobot 5 pack that consisted of Hound, Wheeljack, Jazz, Sunstreaker, and Trailbreaker.  The only one most people wanted from that 5 pack was Hound, but the people that bought the other four figures previously now have to pay more for figures they got.  I get the other 4 had minor changes done, most noticeable was the change from clear/translucent plastic to the solid painted plastic.  They also did the same thing with the previous Kup and Cliffjumper where they had clear plastic issues for sale first and then later came back with the painted version that better resembles the toon aesthetic. In short, I'm done upgrading unless it is a significant improvement on the current figure.  Don't get me wrong, overall, I'm very happy with the line since the War, Siege, and Earthrise.  We've got some good figures.  I'm just tired of paying more or essentially repurchasing slightly better figures.

You also talked about Beast Wars and Beast Machines and how they weren't out in all markets when they were released.  I was one of those market.  Beast Wars aired late and the second season was airing the same time as the first season of Beast Machines. You all said that there really wasn't much linking them together other the the same characters and voice actors.  When I was that age, mid to late teens, I thought Beast Machines was ripping off Beast Wars.  My little brother who was a tween, thought the same thing.  It was real weird.

Either way.  Still look forward to listening and the new podcast. 

Joe S.

P.S. Tell Oscar when he gets back that the rash cleared up and he shouldn't have anything to worry about.

—-------------------------------------------

Hey all,

Hopefully the full crew is back and Robert was able to escape from prison.

I’m sure you all talked about it but if not, what are your thoughts on the new studio series prime?

We all have spent so much money collecting for this hobby. Will it ever be done for you guys? For me, I go back and forth trying to decide if I actually like collecting these figures or just the initial rush from opening something new.

Do you all collect multiple versions of each character or do you stop when the perfect figure in your eyes comes out? I have so many MP primes but am still getting the fans toys one. I think it depends on the character.

Thanks again for the pod,

Emon
