You are so very wrong. Not nearly enough steak discussion.
And we're still podcasting.
Vangelus
nothing's happened beyond some regular uninteresting life stuff, 2 episodes are incoming whenever they get put together
excelhedge
Not cool dudes.
MrByatis
Yep, unfortunately Vangelus met his end, crushed under a pile of single-player board games.
Prime135
Wait what?!?!?!?!? Has something happened to the podcast?
MrByatis
RIP, Wonton Fruit, its been fun. Though I could've done with less discussions about steak.

Oh man yeah will agree about NECA. I've wanted a modern in scale roster of some of the horror/slasher guys and NECA is the place with the most licenses and guys I want, but man is it scary buying every single one. Got a Halloween 2018 Michael Myers who had a ridiculous amount of glue in the knee that snapped immediately as I took it out of the box. And got nothing but radio silence from their Customer Care team. Makes it worse that they tend to scream and block anyone on twitter who points out their consistent quality, or lack there of. Got the Friday the 13th accessory set and 3 parts basically fell off while I was trying to set it up. I get em and check em over and then they stay in their boxes now unless it's for a review or photoshoot, and then right back in.

100% I'd also like cybertronian modes too! I still think we got robbed of a hoverbox Wheeljack. ;_;

It’s funny that Vange1us and so many others want earthmode versions of the siege guys, I’m the opposite: give me cybertronian versions of all the earthrise guys please.
cybertronian bumblebee, wheeljack, trailbreaker, and grapple!
Also, reissue all the beast wars guys with extra 5mm ports and effects part nipples and I’ll rebuy everyone, despite already having bought all the 1st wave guys so far

Can confirm that both Cyberverse Arcee and Grimlock\'s plastic will discolour.
Grimlock\'s is understandable with him being made of a softer plastic but Arcee\'s was a surprise as it was her biceps and thighs that turned a shade of orange after a 40°C day
Prime135
Agreed, BW Grimlock is a bit of a grail for me and I was looking forward to the generations version with how the original tends to be…I however have no desire to own the sideswipe mold

The thing about the leaks that I hope changes, come the actual existence of the figures, are those selects 2 packs with the BW Skywarp and Grimlock. Those moulds both look to be my favourites of the year, and those are designs which I both really love. And I don’t wanna have to buy 2 other figures just to get them. I don’t own either of Mirage or Sideswipe, but i feel obligated to own them now and that just feels icky and it’s already gonna be tough to buy exclusives anyway.

Glad I'm not alone in this. Was worried I was doing something wrong.
Spyne98
Great episode. I was following along on Twitter when Dr. Egg exploded. I'm glad no one got hurt.
And I can totally agree that the Earthrise Soundwave is awesome. I really like him!
InhumanElm
Is it weird that that made me kinda want the figure?
MrByatis
@TJOmega you're never going diving with sea turtles? You live in FLORIDA
Opticron Primal
The NECA TMNT stuff I have has been surprisingly good but yeah, agreed, NECA\'s not a good company. From the design and quality issues to their distribution problems.
BlackHawkOmega
It's apparently a one-time deal. Considering things like the Netflix figures ended up being true, I'm not that doubtful.
Korito
i wasnt 7 when Terradive came out, but ive been figthing in thios \"more toys need tridents\" hills for 20 years

Rexy from BW Megs broke that for me cause that licence is with Mattel so I’d be quite surprised.
