Disturbing news from the piles. Some toys have been OPENING BY THEMSELVES! A while back I bought some Nickelodeon style turtles, and Raphael has only gone and bust out of his blister by himself! either that or there was some seriously weak glue holding that on. My Classics Collection Raphael managed to be covered top to bottom in dust while still sealed in the packaging. |

I've seen something like that before. Some of my Doctor Who figures grew something like a grey dust on them when still sealed. I figured it was some kind of reaction going on to either heat or cold in the loft.
Chromedome's out. He's... Not as good as Highbrow and Hardhead. He's the one that uses Stunticon engineering isn't he? Too many little tabs and slots to be satisfying. I recognise the transformation. I had to shave one of the tabs on his bonnet to get it to slot in.

Absolutely.
So I'm three out now. Must be Brainstorm tonight, which means the double pain not only of opening a box that isn't resealable, but one on an exclusive! toughest test yet.

I'd have to go some to top Brian Kilby!
Mind you that said, I do have shelves that look like that and a ton of unopened MotU stuff.
Funny thing, I noticed a parcel sat on top of the greyskull box earlier and double-took. I realised it's the Fans Toys Trailbreaker I picked up on Thursday night. I've been so busy I totally forgot it was there.

WHAT. THE ACTUAL....?
How can you buy an expensive third party toy AND FORGET YOU BOUGHT IT?!?!?!
I... my wife would divorce me, remarry me, AND THEN DIVORCE ME AGAIN!
AND TAKE THE GOOD CHINA!

I'm having to think now. I think it's more an indication of how busy things are. I can only think about one thing at a time.

Well, that's probably fair enough.
But I still think you need to open more toys.
How about: every time you don't open a toy in a reasonable time frame a Huber gets to kick you in the leg?

I recently opened a ton of toys and the packaging was enough to fill the car for two tip runs!!!

I had a sort of pre TFN experience when I bought Mirage at the weekend. Opened him up and binned the box in a hotel room. It's the little things.

Having been BESMIRCHED by one Mr Ayres on the call again tonight, I would like to point out that in recent weeks I've opened SEVENTEEN Origins figures, plus two cats, Stridor and the Landshark, FT Trailbreaker, Kickback, Dragstrip and tonight Singe and Skids.
So ner. Toys have been opened.
Spinister looks pretty cool with the two correct Battlemasters.

Umm... Some.
Look, I'm not opening them if they've got bits missing. That's just... Annoying.
