Patrick Grime here once again with another episode of The Sit Rep and this is the scheduled time that it was supposed to happen. It was so funny, we're on Facebook earlier and I get a message from Kato going, hey PPR, you're live right now. I'm like, excuse me? So I hop on there and that's when I see that I had set the StreamYard interview up at three o'clock and if you're familiar with StreamYard, whatever time you set up and then schedule ahead of time, if you don't mark that time, it'll go ahead and schedule that day for that time. So I thought I hit 10, I did not. So I hope y'all enjoyed the early teaser trailer and whoopsie. And we got Larkin here with us. He's afraid to show his background. He is packing right now in his rooms a mess. So that's why he's talking this right now. This is not a phone call. This is shaka from Hawaii, man. Hey man, that's how I rock on. I get it. There's Kato. I hear this has been a big night for live streams. Deluxe live into Kato live into a me live. And I'm going to apologize to Deluxe and Kato right now. As soon as I got home, it was busy. We were decorating for Christmas. And I am so behind on my reviews right now. I haven't got anything done because in my office, in the corners where you guys normally don't see, is two closets. And guess what's in those closets? Christmas decorations. So over the last few days, all the decorations have been pulled out and placed in the whole middle of my office here. Gingerly placed, thank you. I mean, you're going crazy in there. So hello everybody in the chat. So Larkin and I, I got to looking. Our last sit-rep, I'm going to say sit-rep. It's my channel. Our last sit-rep was April 1st of 2019. I think you had just got started. And I think Kato, I had just, because I did my sit-rep with Kato in March, and it was Kato that said, hey, you need to check this Larkin guy out. So, so on and so forth. And here we are, what, three years, two years later. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I started my channel December of 2018. So about four months after. So, what took you so long there? No, sir. I hit a shitty internet. Oh, I can't say shit. Oh, yeah, sure. Right around, this is the first time. But yeah, I mean, it was so funny. I think my last live stream is when I did my unboxing for my hard hero buzz. I told everybody I said, I really don't have anything new coming in this month. I swear it's like, well, it's like Christmas. First, this showed up. I totally forgot. I forgot I pre-ordered. And, you know, Hasbro really nailed the release date on this one. We get this horror-themed Dracula Transformer just in time for Santa Claus. For Christmas. And then, of course, these two show up, and they weren't supposed to be here until March. Yep. I think it was you that noticed this. Hey, man, my credit card just got charged for those two figures. Yeah, yeah, I was like, I got a text alert saying, hey, so I go back and look, oh, okay. I matched the amount because it just says Amazon, right? And I'm like, well, I ordered a ton of stuff on Amazon. And so, you know, how I work it, and I think I've told everybody, is I always pre-order my stuff and then I pay for it with gift cards. And man, I had to, I was like, oh, shit, I got all this going to come out of the credit card right now. I got to start slapping some gift cards on there. RKR is like, I hope Terrasaur ships early. I'm kind of curious to see how this works now. I mean, he's just shipped and somebody on Facebook posted, what's the, is it Tagatron? Is it mutant Tagatron? Is the orange one? Oh, Mutant Tagatron? Somebody got Mutant Tagatron already? Somebody posted it, they had it. I think it's somebody overseas. Oh yes, I can't wait to review Puffer. I was hoping you would send that, of course we didn't know these are gonna be released so soon with the last set you sent me. I told Firetox, I said, that name just cracks me up. And I can just imagine that bot chilling out like Cheech. Hey man, hitting the bomb. Interesting fact while reviewing or researching those characters is Road Ranger, of course, is a Botcon 2004 mini-bot go-bot collaboration. Yeah, Puffer was the European release of Pipes. They didn't get the Pipes that we got, they got a blue and white Huffer, but they called him Pipes. So the name for this guy, Puffer, is a combination of Pipes and Huffer. I actually would have heard hypes to Puffer. Hypes. Hey, Jason, thank you so much. His jackpot arrived today. Mine too. And let's see, just because we were talking about Puffer, what's the perfect one? Huffin' and puffin'. Huffin' and puffin'. Hey, hoes. Hey man, that's so bad. I've been smokin' since I was born, man. I can smoke anything, man. I think you better light it in here, man. Right. That's gas fumes, man. Aw, man. I'm glad to put that on for you. Yeah, that needs to go there. If you were in, I think one chat I was talking about where the original video, I just flipped Bert and I's faces, but because of my facial hair and Bert's look, you couldn't tell us apart. Really? Yeah, it was funny. I have to send that to you on Messenger. Yeah. Go ahead. That'd be cool. No, that'd be cool. I mean, it's just so funny that you get, it's like you're, you know, the same brothers from another mother, or what? Yeah. We went to YouTube together. We went to YouTube together. Well, anyway, for those of you, everybody on here, I think is familiar with how the Sitrep works. This is my Sitrep part two with Larkin. We're kind of catching up with him. I've been in many of chats with Larkin's group chats. I don't think you and I have done a one-on-one a long time. I think the last one was 2019. So I know you have done a lot with your channel and different things, especially with your awesome 3D printing, your G2 Megatron set is still my favorite. I need to get a Ramjet set off of you. So let's, we'll start out. Let me see how these questions are lined up. I've got five questions for you as a transformer collector and five questions for you as a YouTuber. So question number one, what was one of your collecting goals for 2021 and have you achieved it yet? Oh, shoot. What was my collecting goals? Yeah. I liked it. Easy questions. This ain't no day, I've only had it for 30 minutes. Zoom, Zing it. I mean, I guess I've achieved my collecting goals, right? I mean, it's been the same goal for a while where the trunk stuff was to get basically a complete war for Cybertron collection. That's all I wanted ever since I started getting it back into, you know, because prior before doing YouTube, I would collect transformers but I never did get everything. But when War for Cybertron hit, I kind of thought myself, I wanted a complete collection. The last time I had a complete collection of something was Beast Wars. And then I sold it. So far I've been able to find everything, even the exclusives. Now I did that. I guess when I, the line that was coming out when I first started doing YouTube was Titan's return, but I wasn't reviewing those. I don't think I started reviewing figures until Siege. And I think Siege is the line where I got everything. And then I realized, I don't really want everything. So after I become a little bit more selectful, one of the things I did too, was when you become a YouTuber, you may have done this, I know some others have, you buy stuff only to review and you realize, man, I just wasted 40 bucks. I don't like this thing. So there's been quite a few. I think I'm into deep with the completionist part where it's more about completing it than actually liking the figures now. It's like, you get to a certain threshold role. I got- That's when you get stuff like this. I asked Burt today. I was like, Burt, did you get these figures? And he's like, nah, they just look like cheap repaints to me. And I was like, well, I have to blame some of my fellow YouTubers. I've become a completionist exclusive whore anymore. But you know, in a way, I'm glad at least these exclusives are, you know, the obscure characters. Yeah. You know, exactly. That's what I'd like to see more of. I've complained about that. I mean, I quit making exclusives mainline characters like what was it? Earthrise with the cone heads and Ironhide and Ralph. I'm fortunate enough, I was able to get them. I mean, as soon as they came available for pre-order, I mean, like I said, me and an Amazon pal, I'd click on as soon as they come available. Oh, this is something for you from, oh, I guess I got that right. I can't say I want to say thanks so much. Yeah, that is a great set. That is my favorite, one of my favorite Megatrons now. And what's funny, I don't like the Earthrise version, but the G2 Collar Scheme, with your set just puts that one above and beyond. Now, if they'd fix it where the damn feet would hide in tank mode, it'd be perfect. Yeah. I mean, like when I first got the G2 Megatron, I really liked it, but I really wanted that shoulder cannon. Cause that to me, that's what G2 Megatron has, right? That shoulder cannon. Cause they attempted it with the, wasn't it one of the first generation selects was the combat hero Megatron and give it props and gave him a different head, but still didn't give him the shoulder cannon. I'm actually working on a mod modification of the G2 Megatron kit for the combat hero Megatron to make it look like him. So, hopefully I got a few more iterations to go through, but I'm trying to make it where it simulates that pump in the back and stuff and everything. We gotta have that bellows. What was it? Somebody said, have you seen the Studio Series RC today? I was just right before you sent me a message. I clicked on that. Let's do a share screen. We'll show everybody if they haven't seen it yet. Yeah. Whoops. There we go. So yeah, there's your Bumblebee RC. She is very heavy. I like the alt mode. I love that alt mode. Yeah. I wouldn't mind a Paragon medic repaint of that. Uh-huh. I wouldn't mind that, but definitely nice. Yeah. Ravage, what's up? I don't mind Ravage too much though. I mean, I know he's not supposed to look like the actual Jaguar, right? Kind of looks more canine-ish though, huh? Yeah. There we go. Yeah, a lot of detail on that box. Man, it just doesn't, it looks like one of the Wolf robots from Transformers 4. Yeah. Kind of like the new packaging. Yeah. Little teeny tiny shock wave. Yeah. And what was it? I think this is the wrong one, but they got that new core class hot rod. Yeah. There's pancake wave. That's a great look in robot mode though. Oh yeah. You know, when these guys, when I saw more of these, I really wanna get them to kind of weather them and customize them. It's been a while since I've done one of those. Don't like the gun. That looks like a reuse from something else. Yeah. At least they gave them that shoulder candy that's more like sound wave. Right. Yeah, that's the first time I've really looked at these. I was busy at work today. I didn't get to really look at them. And in Braun- I like ratchet. Yeah, ratchet looks good. They got wheel jack. I like his face. Very squat and dumpy looking though. Yep. Braun's got that 80s. I mean, that just looks like an 80s futuristic vehicle. Cause remember back in the 80s, maybe everybody had a drill. Drill tanks. Drill tanks need to make a comeback. Maybe in the legacy line. Oh, man. All right. Well, let's get to some more questions. Well, number two, have there been any figures that weren't on your radar to pick up at all until someone else in the community reviewed them like Kato who makes me spend money and you make me spend money? I would guess the latest. Well, I mean, I dabbled into legends a few years ago and then I just kind of stopped. But about a month or two months ago, I just went all in just cause deluxe in his legends reviews. I watched them. Sometimes I'm like, I don't want to get into that. I get into that. But I just went and all in to legends with new age and all it says really deluxe is fault. Yeah. He's the reason of course that I got the exclusive TF con the pistol on X and I like that. I got it was like, oh my God. Once I figured out his transformation cause there's only one spot that was weird. It was that one arm. But man, great robot mode, great gun mode. I wish that's how MP 36 transform cause that's a complicated bastard right there. And then if he's still in here memo, thank you so much. He sent me the regular new age Megatron, the silver version. So now I got both versions of them. I just, I love them. They're awesome. Yeah. They're there. I do like, oh, you know, yeah, browning. I saw, I saw a Birch review. Yes. You and I both have to blame bird on that one. That one I really like browning. Oh my goodness. That's such a solid figure. So 80s, but yeah, the browning was very nice. All right. Number three might be a spoiler for your top 10 list later on this month. But what is your favorite figure 2021 so far? Oh, my favorite of 2021. Oh my goodness. I would say Galvatron, the, well, what you call the kingdom Galvatron. I like them a lot. Yeah, both of us. Cause yeah. So the toy version and the other one, it's just, you know, my last Galvatron stand-in was the Titan Returns one, but it wasn't that great cause it was a headmaster. I don't know. It's a hard, there's so many great figures. Yeah. There's so many great figures that was released to anybody. I would say, only reason why I would say Galvatron is he's on my desk and, you know, I fiddle around with him a lot. And Galvatron's one, he was a great figure, but man, we had to work on that guy. Cause you and I, we got one of the first releases so we had to do the shoulder fix. And then we had to take the schmutz off of him. I didn't do that yet on mine because I, well, I'm debating whether to do that or not. Cause right now I'm actually finding the toy version more, more fun right now. So I've been messing around with that a lot. All right, Ash, real quick. I typed these questions up last February. So that's why I didn't even catch that. Leave me alone, man. But yeah, I like Galvatron. I mean, honestly, there's a lot of mainline figures that are really, that were really good this year, but I would say Galvatron just cause he's on my desk. I fiddle with him a lot. And he's staring at you. Yeah. Tracks fix, do at your own risk. Absolutely. I want to make sure. Fix on, I can never remember the red tracks. Oh, road rage? Road rage. Yeah, I did the fix on road rage but I haven't done on tracks yet. It's funny. So my version of, when I did my review of tracks, apparently my copy, my first copy was good. So I didn't have any issues with it. And then I see everybody was telling, oh, the legs are floppy mess and this like, so I opened my second copy up and I'm like, oh yeah, this one's bad. And then, and that's when I would try to figure out, why is this so bad? And I noticed that pin wasn't in all the way. So somebody was very lazy at the production line and were very weak in hammering that. Yeah, the first part of the year sucked for me with the kingdom fit. Well, most of my figures, I got the super Megatron that came with two right threads. I got the kingdom war path. He was jacked up. His pin wouldn't press through all the way to turn his turret. My tracks came with three wheels. There was a couple others. Oh yeah, I got the anniversary Megatron from Hasbro Pulse that came with the little micron figures. Got that real cool, translucent bat that broke on first transformation. Wow man. I think I'm pretty lucky. I think as far as QC stuff, I didn't get any major QC issues on mine. Yeah. But then again, sometimes I don't even think about it because I like, whenever I see something, if I know I can fix it, I'll just fix it. Sometimes you don't think about it. So I don't remember if it did have a QC issue. Now some of us don't have that option. Like, oh shit, where's the super glue? Well, see, one of the things a lot of people complain about with their figures is you look behind the figures, like, oh, look at all the gaps and waffles. That's one thing that doesn't bug me because when I put mine on display, you can't see that. Now, nothing against the fillers because man, I've got some of yours, they do a great job. But to me, that's no biggie unless it's like blatant. Like if you've got a figure and you can, there's a whole, a peg, a whole, it's like Megatron, for example. He's got the hole for the fusion cannon, but since he's got that big gap where his forearm is, you look through it. You can see right through it. Yeah, some of them, like, for me with fillers, it has to bother me to really actually go out of my way to make, you know, design something in 3D. The Hopper one kind of bothered me because it was just so, it just was so open, right? Behind the legs of Hopper. Galvatron was more of like, I really like this figure and I kind of want to, you know, sometimes I would make fillers just because I really like the figure a lot and I kind of want to even make it more better. Rhinauts, right? Yeah, firetrucks doesn't like rhinauts. Yeah, and I didn't like the guns. That's why I was like, man, I like- Yeah, it's doing the guns fantastic. Yeah, the guns just was like, well, what is rhinauts doing? Founding the Predacons or something? There's, I don't know. There's little pinwheels, whee! Well, since we're on that subject, let's go ahead and get to question number four. What was the worst figure you've grabbed so far? I guess this sounds right since we're at the end of the year. What's the worst figure of this year? What was the worst figure I got this year? Hard to say. Where else? You know, the one that did not wow me like I thought it was, was this one right here. Oh, the arc? Yeah. Especially, you know- You don't- Are you done with the windows? Oh my God, I'm still working. I love the thrusters. But yeah, there's a shitload of windows to do- Yeah, as a Titan, that didn't really wow me. I mean, I got it because I thought, you know, the arc is cool, but compared to the, like Scorponok and the Mega Supreme, I mean, the- Well, the other- This is- Playability, you had the giant robot, then you had what it really turned into, and then you had, well, you had the base, and then you had the attack mode that all the other figures could interact with. You can't really interact with this one unless you pop the top off and say, make it so. Yeah. I guess the only great thing about the arc is mainframe. I mean, that's the biggest difference. I mean, that's the only big plus is mainframe. Oh, that's all on Facebook, or some people actually, they were buying arcs. And once they got them, they realized it was a return. Somebody bought it in Jack mainframe and then put the arc back in the box and took it back to them. Oh man, that's uncool. That is uncool. That's the one bad thing about this packaging and stuff. Well, you couldn't tell until you got home. That's why- And the thing is, if you look at the people who work at Returns, they don't know toys. I mean, they're not, like, I mean, they know as much about toys as my mom does. You know what I mean? If the, even if the guy showed them all was the content inside, they probably look, okay, that looks kind of right. Because, yeah. But I don't know, the one that these, I think this year I got the X-Transbot's wind charger. And that was probably the worst figure I ever bought. I think I've already mentioned that a couple times. I think Deluxe has mentioned that too. Yeah, it's, I don't know. It's actually made me shy away from X-Transbot's products. I love it. They lent me that cup. And the robot mode, as my first experience with them, heavy, die-cast, solid robot mode, I shit you not, the transformation took me an hour. And I am watching a guy step-by-step on YouTube. And I'd still took that long. And- Yeah, man, that's so fun, right? No. Yeah. I mean, I also got their trail breaker. And that one's not too bad. So I don't know. But definitely their wind charger is horrible. Their Deathsaurus, that's coming out. Ooh, I don't know. I just would wait for a review. Cause, man, sometimes I think it's overly complicated for no reason, you know what I mean? Yeah, because part of the fun for me with transformers is I like a transformer that's easy to transform. Not like super, you know, like old G1, you fold the legs up and arms in. I want something that's complicated, yet enjoyable. I don't want to be sitting here cussing out my, yeah, wanting to kick my dog. I can't transform something. Yeah. And sometimes there's transformers that are actually not too complicated, but not enjoyable because the tolerances are too tight and it's, or, you know, it doesn't, it seems like the way they, maybe they factored in that you're going to bend the plastic in order to move this cartel. And it's like, it doesn't feel right, right? And in their first transformations, like I got that Stealth Bomber Megatron. And there's parts that are connected so tight. I'm like pulling on it and I'm afraid I'm gonna break it. I'm like, okay, the instructions say to do this, why is it not moving? Yeah, that, the Bomber one, right? Yeah. Yeah. I haven't transformed it back to jet mode since I'm going to eventually have to. I was really surprised that Toy Hacks had a set for him. Oh, really? Nice. Yeah. They've got some details for the wings and actual details for the flight stand. Oh, cool. So this is one that a lot of people don't have that figure. This is a set I just got for me to apply. I'm not going to review it. This is for me to apply and enjoy. Hey, you know, you got to, I think as a collector and even just doing YouTube, you got to do some stuff just for yourself. If everything has to be for the camera, I think you're going to get burned out too quickly. Too easy, too easy. Yeah. It's like with my Masters of the Universe. I just, I don't review that. Does that collect them? I've got a bunch of them. Yeah. Don't review them. Bert, on the other hand, he loves to review them because he doesn't have to transform something on camera. Oh, yeah. Here we go. This hits the nail on the head. No one wants a transformer bot that works like a Rubik's Cube. Well, yeah, nobody wants to do that. I mean, it has to be, I think the one word to sum it up for me, the transformation has to be satisfying, whether it's complex enough or not, or as long as it's a satisfying transformation that gives you a great end result, I'm okay with it. Exactly. All right, we're 30 minutes in. You want to do question number five? Sure. What is your most anticipated figure coming out? For this year? Yeah. Well, yeah, you got three weeks. You got three weeks. It would be glad to put year. What's your most anticipated figure coming out? Oh, coming out? Well, if I would say this year, it'd be black there, the generation selects. Supposed to be coming out this month, right? February from what all my things show. And he, seeing the box art, he's actually considered a legacy character now. Yeah. Yeah, so, well, I think like, when you did the initial pre-orders, when it first came out, I remember saying December of 2021. That could be. Yeah, but that one I'm looking forward to, just because, you know, I like it when they do the Japanese characters, because, you know, we never really got them in the U.S. But overall, I think I have one that's really interesting. I guess the Star Saver, but that's not going to come out until late next year. Mayan, Art, have you been following the Rancor and the Sky Striker? Those are struggling. God, those are struggling. Sky Striker went up in backers a little bit. I don't know. I'm curious if that they, if that, you remember with Unicron, they added the international guys on the last day. So I'm curious if they're going to do that. But I don't know. I told the guys earlier, if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm okay with it. Right now, they're at only 6,496 backers. I don't know. It's a toss-up. They only have a few more days to go. Now, it was somebody I saw on Facebook where they said, oh, you get, reach these many backers, you get this. And then they showed these bones and somebody commented, it's great. We get a figure we already have and Halloween prop bones. But you know what? The way I think about it, it's good feedback. They need this kind of feedback. I don't expect every Haslab to go to pass. I don't think they expect everyone to fund because if they expected it to fund, they would just do direct or something, right? So they need this feedback and who knows? I mean, maybe the guys there say, hey, we got our data wrong. We got our info wrong. This is not what they wanted. Let's go back to the drawing board. Try it again. Yeah, try it again. I just hope they keep trying until they get it. Right. Yeah, I'm kind of glad I got out of Star Wars a few years back. I mean, I used to collect Star Wars, just like I collected these guys and then transforms. Of course, you're a Star Wars collector. Of course, this, I quit collecting before the new movies came out. But back then, it was like, how many Darth Vader's do I need? It's like Optimus Prime, right? Yeah, but at least he turns into something different. Darth Vader's like, okay, here's this version and this version has the same thing as Darth Vader's. In the olden days, it made sense. You had one that had the lightsaber they could hold and one that the lightsaber slides out of his hand. So... On the 70s, they had that toothpick. They had the weird super-limzy tip that we always chewed off as kids. Yep, remember that. All right. Well, that is it for transformer collector questions. Let's go into YouTube. So flashing back to April 1st of 2019, how has your channel grown since we last talked? True. In April, I didn't even have a thousand subs until later that year around November. So I just hit, what did I just hit? A phone. Hold on. No, oh yeah, yeah. See the impact. It's what it's used to sound like. I just recently hit 7,000. So it's been, I don't know. It's been nice, I'm grateful. I should put out more content and stuff. But it's, I don't know. I just try to think it as easy as possible just to try not to get burnt out. I kind of wanted to keep doing YouTube so I kind of just do it at my pace at this time. Of course, you've branched out into your 3D printing since then too. Yeah, and that part has been, this year has been really good with the 3D printing and stuff, so I really gotta get, you know, I started designing, so before, I used to just resell Funbee Studios designs. I got a license to resell them and print and resell. And then this year, really with the G2 Metatron set, got into designing. I think, I got a thank you. Item that you printed for me was missiles that went in Siege Hound, so you could have a missile. Oh yeah. Actually, I didn't know those the other day. Yeah, those were designed by somebody else, so those things that couldn't, you know, like if somebody else designs it, unless you have their permission, you can't sell it. I mean, you shouldn't. I mean, even if you could, it's just, you know, bad etiquette. Oh no, fire toxic ran into that problem. Yeah, I know, yeah. And then it's like to me, it's like, ah, that's just bad etiquette. At least ask the person if you can, you know, worse than they say is no, right? The Rotor Storm kit, that was a modded one, but I asked the original creator if I could sell it. Sell it modded for the 5mm port and all that stuff. And he said, yeah. He said, just make the file available. And I'm like, okay, I'll make the file available. I got that set too. I just recently got his Toy Hacks decals in. I gotta get those applied. I got so many stickers to stick. Oh yeah. Toy Hacks backlog. Oh man. Well, that arc will keep you pretty busy. Well, it's funny how I've been doing it. I got the arc in, well, I got main frame first. Got him knocked out in a heartbeat. And with the arc, I've already filmed my before's. And I've just, there's just so many. And it's so time consuming, it's not hard, but you know, and I'm a perfectionist, which is part of my biggest problem is I gotta make sure everything's just right. And so I'll work on it for about a half hour a night. And I gotta get myself a break because I don't wanna get burned out. These are big set. The last one I did was Scorponok, which wasn't that bad. He had a lot of big stickers. And to be honest, I don't like, I would rather put on the tiny decals than the big ones because the big ones, those are the ones you're really gonna notice if you don't line up straight. Yeah, or if there's an air bubble inside, yeah. Oh, Fire Tox says he lost the corner pieces. I think I know what he's talking about. These, I don't think I can put them on anymore. These things. Just put them in a bag. He lost them. I decided these need to go off because I was doing toy hacks and I went to flip the front off and they shut off and hit the wall in front of me and scared the hell out of me. He's like, what the hell just happened? I, whenever I transformed the arc, I preemptively removed them. Just like this, remove them off. Yeah, it's, yeah. Which is another issue I'll explain about with the arc. I was like, why the, this should not happen. When you're transforming, these should fold back out of the way. I mean, what, they, they, I'm curious, I'm curious why they just use pins to hold them down so that they don't fly. Makes sense. And then Hasbro's like the military makes sense. They're not gonna do it. Oh, well, hey, you know, so we can have the toy hacks. I just got the G2 jazz set for toy hacks. Oh, nice. I can't wait to see what it looks like. I saw a jazz at Walmart today and I'm debating on getting another jazz just for that set. Hey, if you get that jazz, you know, I'm gonna send you the G2 gun, the oversized gun. I don't know, I'm so, I'm so into the G2 stuff. Like, I mean, it's the ridiculous fluorescent, you know, bright colored stuff. And I figured, oh, there's a G2 jazz set. I just, hopefully, toy hacks can make a G2 Starscream set for the Earthrise. I can make another voice box for that. Yeah, I'm concerned we're gonna have two Earthrise Starscreams, more or less. Yeah, sure, I'm also, I'm also gonna make a G2 set. So if people buy, they can say, hey, okay, well, your second Starscream let's make them a G2 Starscream. Did you get the Nemesis set and make the G2 Prime? Yes, well, yeah, well, I had an extra Optimus Prime because I customized one of my Earthrise Prime. So I had an extra trailer. I actually just spray painted that one black. And then I 3D printed some parts to give them the voice box and the missiles. They weren't my parts, but I'm gonna design my own. And I might put those up as well, because I was like, oh man, these are, I think, oh, I just have a feeling some folks who got the G2 kit might wanna do the G2 Prime to go with the G2 Megatron 50 Ultra Chair. Yeah, Starscream hovers over that chair like you do when you're taking a dump in a gas station bathroom. Yeah, yeah, Starscream just got a colonoscopy, that's why I can't say that much. You're on a 3D print, a hernia pillow for me. There you go. Well, fire talks can design that real quick. Yeah, fire talks is quick, well, hold on. All right, I got disconnected a little bit. What time is it for you over there in Hawaii? I don't know, it's late here, but you're still like. It is 538. Yeah, he's working. Taking time out of his day to talk to me. Don't worry, man. It's like you guys are like, what, five hours ahead? Yeah, it's just a little bit, it's 1030 here, here in West Bygones, Virginia. I actually had to have my air conditioner on. It was 67 degrees, December, what was the day? December 3rd, West Virginia, 67 degrees. Global warming, love it. I can hang lights and nothing for it. Yeah, it shouldn't be cold up there right now. It should be. Yeah, we should be like white Christmas stuff right there with palm trees, like Bert would be happy up here. Oh, where are we? Question number seven, we've been hit with a lot of challenges over the last year with worldly goings on. Has any of that changed up how you approach your content? I'll be honest, no. You know why? Because you don't go out of your house anyway. No. Well, for me, this is a, to me, collecting transformers and all this stuff, YouTube. It's an escape. It's an escape from adulthood, reality, just to enjoy simple things in life, right? So personally, I just try not to bring any harsh realities of life into that space so I can just kind of, you know, enjoy, right? Because after I'm done doing a video or messing around with some toys, you got real life to deal with, you know, whatever that's going on in the world. So I kind of make a conscious decision just to not really talk about it. Because otherwise, I don't know, it's just, because I just want this place to be fun. That's it. That's all like our community. I mean, we're all so, you know, like that. I saw shaking hands in my reviews. Yeah. What'd they do in demolition made us all? Really? You're air high five. Yeah. Yeah, it's like for me, collecting toys, collecting transformers, YouTube, it's really just an escape. Just enjoy chatting with you guys, hang out with you guys. It's like an extension, I always prefer to refer to it as an extension of the hobby. Because now I get this brand new figure and enjoying for what he is, I can take him out, I can mess around with him. Where back in the day, after taking him out and messing around with him, I set him up on the shelf and don't touch him for a year or two. Now take him out and show him off to my friends. So. Yeah, it does. I mean, you think about it, we're all 40 somethings, we're all old, you know, we have families, we have real, you know, things to deal with every day. To me, this is just, it's fun. It's, I think it helps us cope with the realities of life to be able to escape to something like this. I'm writing it down now for my next T-Spring shirt. We're all old. We're all old. Watch our YouTube channels, we're all old. There you go, man. We are. I don't know, yeah, I've not really changed much, to be honest. Hell, I think. Maybe I should change my YouTube stuff a bit more. Like, I don't have, I've kept the same format for so long already. You know, I don't have an intro or anything. When I started, I changed around so much, trying to find my niche. And I think it was about after year two, that's when I just find, hit it, and that's what I've stuck with. Like with Toy Hacks, you don't see me talk about it. You know, it's just the Toy Hacks stuff. With the figure, it's me introducing the figure, me with the outro. So, I don't know, I just kind of stuck with that. Maybe next year I'll change things up. And the damn hat. Yep. Without the hat, you know, that's the iconic look, right? You don't have the hat. Even this year at TFCon, because I didn't wear it. And so many people. I didn't even recognize without the hat on. You know, big guy, paid your price. Are you him? Here. Oh, yeah. It's like the Clark Kent Superman thing, right? Without the glasses. Yeah, I've seen a lot of works there. So, it's not a totally, an asinine thing that people can't recognize a person with glasses and without. Rico, thank you so much for the super chat. You earned the new one. Where is it? Here we go. Enjoy, everyone. Oh, dear Jesus. And just keep in mind, you think that's bad, you guys watching it. It happened with us in the room. You're not making me want to come to TFCon. Oh my God, it was so much fun. I miss those guys so much. I hope one day I can go. Maybe next year, when I mean, if we move up to the mainland, it'd be a lot more easier to get out there. Fire talks, you'd almost think I did that intentionally. Yeah, oh, so much crazier in person. And we're all sitting on a bed while that's happening. Nice. All right, where the hell was I? Oh, is there anything different you plan on adding to your channel? And have you thought about branching out into other topics? Which this almost kind of ties in where, yes, you branched out into your 3D printing. You don't, you do new stuff now? No, well, I started, but I've been getting lazy about it. I gotta be honest, like, so far my channel's been a little bit, I mean, the reviews are, I guess, consistent, but sometimes I just do something if I feel like, if I get excited about something, like if there's a Hasbro Pulse stuff and I get excited about it, then I'll do some kind of news about it. I haven't done that in a while though, because sometimes when I see a reveal, okay, it's not enough for me to really wanna do one of those. So I've been doing a lot more on the short side because a lot of the reviews have been, I mean, a lot of the reveals have been, just one-shot reveals, right? But I don't know, man, that's pretty much it. I mean, I've done a bit more 3D printing. This year, I've not done as much customs as I would have liked, so I'm hoping next year to get a little bit more customs done though. Can you imagine? Oh, can you imagine the barracks on the weekend stationed in Germany? You know, he did jump out of planes. That's those airborne guys for us. Artillery boys didn't do that. Let's see, what can we do? What's a good one? What's a good one? Well, it's Christmastime, let's do this. I want a basketball and a polka and a train set and a baseball, I don't even try to have a polka. Yes, TFCon wasn't weird at all. I feel as if, hey, there's something wrong with a person that will jump out of a perfectly fine airplane. Oh, man. It was so funny, that's just, Firetox's daughter put it best, she said, she was like, Firetox, forgive me, I think 12 or 13. And she actually told him, she says, wow, out of all of you guys, I'm the most mature one. I think Bert and I were about three military grade margaritas deep by that point. Well, let me show you an excuse. Yeah, no, 13, I was close, I said 12 or 13. Firetox has the best story from the one ship challenge when he's sitting there gagging and went to throw up in the toilet and it was covered in piss. That's his classy upscale hotel and he told it's covered in piss. Well, somebody must have had a bad time earlier, the right before him then. Well, they cleaned those bathrooms often. Well, those cosplayers screwed up and realized they didn't put a zipper in. Yep. Oh, man. Next to the upon options, nice. It was more piss than toilet. Oh, that's how I have to do the star screen throne. That's why he's over and there you go. All right, let's see. Here we go. Question number nine, as a channel creator who's made it so far doing what you're doing, what advice would you give to new tubers, as I like to call them, starting out? I know we got a new, we got a new Tuber in here who's wanting to start out, this guy. So what advice would you give him? Oh, I would say just make content that you enjoy. The people who like it will come and watch it. You know, just enjoy it. I know it sounds cliche, just enjoy it. Don't feel forced to do everything that everybody else does. I think one thing that I notice is if you're just consistent and just put out content that you like and take people's criticism, constructive criticism, and you know, because it is the internet, you're gonna probably get a lot of assholes. Yeah, with criticisms that is not constructive at all, but I don't know, just make content, adjust. But I wouldn't say don't adjust where it's no longer you. Adjust where you know, say for instance, if it's an editing issue or sound or just keep going and learning, I don't even know what I'm doing to be honest. I don't even know how I got, like I'm surprised I have this many views and subs. I don't know why, I mean, so I'm just gonna keep on doing what I feel like I wanna do and if they watch it, I'm happy. I'm pretty sure there's folks who don't like my content, which is fine. I'm just hoping the people who like my content find me. Hey, and look on the bright side, YouTube hit that now so everybody's not gonna say who doesn't like you. Yeah, there you go. Our feelings are now much better because of that. I sleep so much better. I don't really have any good thoughts. I just don't know what I'm doing. You definitely wanna be yourself. You don't wanna fake it and you wanna enjoy it. You wanna have fun doing it because there are times when I want to get a review out. Like I haven't done anything in a couple of days and it was like last night, I was like, man, I've got to get a figure reviewed. But we're doing this, doing this, I'm tired. I'm like, I'm ready to go to bed. I just wanna relax and watch TV. And I knew in that, with that attitude, if I came up to do a figure review, that would have came out in the review. And your viewers can tell. Yeah. And there are times when I'm actually wanting to do a figure review and I start it, but because the figure is so frustrating, I don't do it anymore. So you may get to that point where you're excited. I don't even think you should force yourself to finish a review if during mid review, you feel like this is not worth it anymore. I mean, cause then it's gonna show at the end. I can't tell you how many thumbnails of figures I've meant to review are on this computer. Where I was like, I got the intro, and I'm just like, I don't like this figure. And a lot of people are like, how can we do an interview? I didn't review that. Well, I didn't like it. Well, I didn't review it. I didn't like it. It was no fun, right? Exactly. It's just not fun. I mean, everyone, we only have 24 hours a day, everybody, right? I ain't gonna spend time doing something that I don't want to do, that it's not necessary. Reviewing a figure that's no fun and that I don't like, and I'm not even getting paid for, or whatever work you get paid for to do that you don't like, right? To me, it's like, I'd rather spend my time doing something else. I mean, I know there's folks out there that think YouTubers make a lot of money, but even $5,000, $7,000, I mean, you're not breaking bank from YouTube. Hey, Curtis, hit me up again. Can you guys come over next week and play? I have lots of toys and video games. How about we come the weekend after Christmas? You should have more. We could all combine forces. Oh, that's my mom. All right, let's go and give Curtis. Let's see, let's see. Oh, here we go. Everybody likes this one. All right, let's go and give Curtis. All right, let's see, let's see, baby. Oh, here we go. Everybody likes this one. It's okay, it was, Tommy, buy everything, review everything, do it whether or not it's fun to do like work. Yeah, that's a good one. Oh, thank you very much. And you're a brand new member too, and I appreciate that. Hopped on and joined the PPR Army. Probably get blasted for saying that. Dare I give him something special because he joined. That is some amazing talent right there. Thanks, man. Thanks. More south. Oh, thanks. Oh, man. There is a clip I'm trying to get of my neighbor during the one chip challenge when Bert and I are eating it. You know, Bert's not phasing him and I'm sitting there dealing with it, but he's sitting there just like, it was like I'm trying to narrow it in or I want to do one on him too. You never know, man. I actually, I don't know if I'm going to be able to make TF Con next fall because of my job and depends on when they schedule it because they schedule the last weekend of October. I'm not going to be able to go. Yeah, because that's election season is wrapping up now. Actually just starting. That'll be the main thing. All right, so where are we? Question number 10. This is our last one. Now it's time to promote yourself. Please tell our viewers about your channel and do you have any special shout outs real quick? If you're not subscribed to Larkin's Lair, there is a link to his channel in the description of this video. Yeah, well, my channel's a beauty Larkin's Lair. See, I'm bad at promoting, but I do have a shout out. I'll just say shout out to Toy Dojo because this year they sponsored my channel, so. Oh, nice. That was pretty cool. And they've been very great. Surprised me, so I don't know. Did they reach out? Sometimes. I haven't even heard about this. Did they reach out to you? Yeah, out of the blue. Well, I mean, we chat on Facebook and then it was like, tell me, hey, do you still do reviews? And then I'm like, yeah. And then, you know, we started talking and stuff. So it's, sometimes when, I mean, something like that, it's kind of nice. It's kind of gives you a little confirmation of what you do, right? And so. Well, that's how Toy Hacks, what happened with me in Toy Hacks is I've messaged them before about certain sets that they, and then one day just out of the blue, hey, would you like us to sponsor your channel? Well, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Why not? Yeah. So shout out to them. I appreciate that. Yeah. And engineer hoist is, I do have an Etsy shop. It's in, if you search like Markens layer, I have some accessories. I have a sale going on, but you can check it out. 3D printed stuff. And probably you can find me on. I should have had your Megatron out here. He's not other Megatron. Just like I said, I was Christmas decorating. I didn't think ahead. I should have had it up to show him off, but man, if you have the generation selects G2 Megatron, you owe it to yourself and your future generations to get to Markens G2 Megatron set. And, you know, I'm very excited for that legacy, legacy G2 Prime to go with that Megatron as well. Just, I don't know. For me, G2, you know, I'm a G1 person, but G2 happened during my high school years. So there was also, you know, was also influential time, right? You know, like, so I remember picking up the comics again and G2, they were all robbed left field out, you know, with the guns and the pouches and everything on Transformers and stuff. So that's why I kind of like G2 a lot. Jason Wake talks with another super chat. Larkin, which Transformer character are you most like or identify with personally? Think about that. Why I give Jason, oh, this. Oh, dear Jesus. Oh, that's a hard question, man. You should all keep that question. The more I identify with Gears. Leave me alone. Yeah, I guess the more I identify with, I find myself getting more, what do you call, like, okay with stuff. Like, I find myself less, like, not caring, not in a way, not caring. Like, things that I would make a big deal of, it's like, ah, whatever. Four guys, one storm trip. I don't know. But on the question, I don't know. I don't know who I identify with as a Transformer. Rika, I keep identifying with Cup. With Cup? Yeah, well, I'm not at that age yet. All right, what do you guys think about the toy price increasing coming next year? Will it hurt your collecting? I thought it was going to hurt when Siege came out, but, you know, if we want them, we're going to get them. I mean, what are we going to do? Yeah. I got to be honest, the toy price increase is actually right now for me in a way, the least increase of all the other things that is increasing in prices. Yeah. Even in the gas, big one. Hey, Ben, Mark, in Autobots or Decepticons, and why you're thinking of that? That's fine, something good. Oh, this is always fun. Let's let's destroy the universe. 80s toys has eBay paint. That's why we keep hearing the eBay ding. Yeah. We were off earlier. We were talking with Matt and whoops. What happened? I'll lean back and it wasn't up in there. Live. There wasn't as much of a game here then. I didn't recognize you. You didn't have your hat on. I know. How are you, buddy? He wants a Burt. He wants a Burt. A Burt. I don't know if he's seen this one or not. Everybody, throw up in your mouth a little bit again. Oh, dear Jesus. Burt didn't destroy the universe. That was me. I literally, we were standing there talking and I had stepped two steps forward. There was like this desk right here. And we're talking and I just went to lean back because I thought I was like that far from the wall. I was that far from the wall. Just fell back into it. You keep playing that dance of Burt. That's going to destroy the universe. But the question, Autobot, let's say Autobot. I don't know, I like the guys. Prime. Prime of school. I tell you, do you collect Master's of the Universe Origins? Yep. You talk about these series that favors the bad guys. I've got one, two, three shelves of bad guys to one shelf of good guys. Oh, yeah, yeah, I guess so. There's a lot of bad guys. I guess it's because of the way they're naming convention. They keep making the, it's hard to get cool names like that for good guys. Yeah. But I like that line. If I had to choose between Masterverse and the Origins, I would probably keep the Origins with the Masterverse. There's so much nostalgia to it. And I love the fact that they're bringing in characters they've never had before, like the Lords of Power. But it's like the Transformers. I've got another line of figures that I enjoy collecting that I can't find anywhere. All my Walmart has is 2020 Skeletor and He-Man. I have yet to, I bought the entire first wave when they first came out. And I haven't seen new figures in my store. I'll check my Walmart for Stinkor again. I didn't see them today, but, because you're still looking, that's the one you said got pushed back for you, right? Well, they flat out canceled my web store, but Burt hooked me up with web store. Kato hooked me up with Lords of Power, Beastman. I still need Stinkor from that wave and I have all the wave seven pre-ordered from EE. I, you know, I had one that wasn't, my nearest target is two hours away. That, that is crazy. Cause there's like, how many targets within 30 minutes of me? One, two, four, four targets. I've got one Walmart and then 25 miles away is another Walmart, 40 miles away is another, ooh, that's shot, 40 miles. Yeah, my targets, like I said, my closest one is in Roanoke, Virginia, almost two hours away. Roanoke. Next to that. Wow. Charleston, West Virginia, two hours away. For some reason in my area, they just didn't feel it target worthy. This whole island in circumference is less than 30 miles. Now I got $79 generals. Oh, nice. Nice. But yeah, I'll keep a lookout for Stinkor. Got to warn you though, man. Stinkor is like 18 bucks in Hawaii. Well, somebody just commented, where was it? Somebody said, big bad toy store has him right now. Oh, really? You might have to go there. I bet you'll be cheaper with shipping then. Yeah. Because I already know from Hawaii, shipping's going to be a minimum of 12 bucks. Oh yeah, I was surprised today. I got Burt and Joel, Burt and Rodimus. Excuse me, don't like to throw that on me. You're Joel. Burt and Rodimus bought the core class sound wave because my Walmart had tons of those yesterday. And it was $5 to ship that thing. Yeah. Oh, hey. It's in stock. Big bad toy store, $18.99 though. Hmm. Is that right? Well, that's Hawaii price. Well, you probably save on shipping. Well, it's $18.99 plus your $4 shipping. Like I said, I still got one on EE that I've already paid for, so. He may come soon. Better than my $12 shipping. Can tell you that's Hawaii, oh, elites, okay. My abs here, Ben. And here, Ben. No, I don't have abs anymore. I don't even, and I make that mistake a lot because the B and the N are close together. I know what he means. No, now the area in West Virginia, actually Deliverance was filmed in Kentucky. So West Virginia has nothing to do with that damn movie. But I'm not as far south as that. There are people, you know, you hear those West Virginia stereotypes and I see them today, there's a construction crew working next door to my office. And there's guys that talk just like this, you know, they're out there, hey, hey, y'all gotta have them sender blocks over here. I mean, they talk like what they expect me to talk like. You know, it's funny, I grew up in Virginia, but I never got a, yes, never got an accent. Well, when I first started my channel, everybody thought I was from Texas. I get that all the time. Are you from Texas? What part of Texas are you from? I'm from La Pacha, it's really far away, Bobby. Oh, extra zero has five targets within 30 minutes. Well, I do have an Ollie's. I give it that, I didn't, I did get the cone head power dasher, the siege generation selects. Oh, Ollie's had generation selects? Oh, but that's where they go for clearance stuff, right? Right. It'd be like a Ross. And there was like a ton of double dealers, Earthrise Optimus Primes. There must have been 40 snap dragons last time I was in there. Oh my goodness. How much were the primes? 20 bucks. See, that would have been worth it just to get the trailer and paint it instead of getting the black Nemesis Prime. I ended up buying an extra double dealer from them and I did that for a toy hacks review. That way I could go ahead and toy hacks to figure up. And so I had my before and after ready to go immediately. Man, did you, and you put all the stickers on the wings? Yes, I did. I'm not done, I'm not done that. I mean, I love flags and all that sometimes. All the stickers on. Sometimes when I look, okay, I ain't putting this on, I ain't putting this on, it's too small or it's too much. I still have to do the wings though because it's, I did one side. The only ones I'd never put on are like the goofy optional ones like with their Galvatron decal set. They gave him full sparkles. Remember that scene where he gets out of the lava and you see the circuitry sparks? They gave him those on. Do you even do the eyes? Sometimes I'm like, I don't really care if I do the eyes. You do the eyes. Dynabots had a really good set of eyes. He had one set was the green eyes for like the lasers. And then the IDcals that he came with, I didn't really notice them until you actually put them in the figure. It looked just like the cartoon. Remember in the cartoon, their eyes would have the light of pupils too? Yeah, yeah. They were in the decal. Wow, at that scale, that's pretty amazing. I always do the IDcals unless, I think there was a sound wave figure. I skipped the IDcals because the first seed sound wave had yellow eyes. And so I used the Toy Hacks decals because they had like the cartoon red visor. Right on. And I got the, there was another sound wave. The Netflix one? I've got that decal set but I haven't applied it. Oh, it was a sound blaster. He had red eyes, but he had that glorious light piping. So that's an IDcal I skipped because where I've got my display, the light shines right down on him. And his eyes glow. Yeah. Yeah, I like the light piping on that guy. Now, the Arcadon put on him because he had those light piping yellow eyes and I actually gave him a Netflix seed or not, but he got a decal for the forehead and he now has blue eyes. I have not yet touched that set. When I took it out of the envelope, I'm like, okay, let me do this another time. Well, the first part I tackled was inside all the decals in the interior that you'd never go see. They even give you decals for the, to change the Autobot logo. Yep, they sure, they gave you three different decals. Yeah. And what really surprised me is the decals that go inside there. They give it a little bit. Did you have to heat them up? For the ones inside, no, but for these on the thrusters themselves, I did because they're curved. Anytime I have decals, I'll warm them up a little bit. Yeah, it helps. These gold decals on all the guns, they're curved so I heat them up. And with that, it's just, I'll warm the figure up. I got a little heater in here. I applied the decal and then just go over once or twice. You don't really have to apply a lot of heat. Yeah. And then it helps conform to the plastic. Yeah. A lot of decals here on the inside, which kind of makes these areas look like hangers. So you got control panels. And there's even decals. That makes sense. If you open this up, this one section here, there's like control panels. I don't even know if you can see it or not. On the inside. Oh, yeah. And what's funny, there is decals right there that shows windows of a zoo. There's two giraffes. There's two giraffes. There's the arc. Oh, two giraffes. Oh, I got it. Yeah, I love those little Easter eggs. There was another one in here, which is a throwback to the Generation 1 cartoon. You probably can't see it, whereas they find, I guarantee you can't see it. Is in the corner is a decal of sound wave in cassette mode. And up here laying on the shelf is laser beak in cassette mode. Infotrating. Yes. Nice. See, I like those little nuggets that they put in, yeah? It's like, it's all fun, right? Their team is amazing. And you can tell they love their work. Oh, yeah. They got a good team. I'm actually Facebook friends with a couple of the artists, and we talk back and forth. Cool. Oh, extra zero, but. Are you gonna do any parts for the arc? Ah, no, I'm not. Half the battle guys, they have a really good set, but I don't think, because Sys takes too long. Oh. Oh. It's probably the biggest reason why. And I think the guys that, yeah, half the battle toys, they do a nice arc upgrade filler set. Oh, Jason, I do too, because they did a fantastic job on Galvatron. Yeah, I gotta send you a second gun for them. Because you need, that's the one you need the gun for. Actually, that's where my gun is. It's in his hands right now. I applied those decals when I did that figure review, because one, I knew Toy Hacks was gonna come out with a set. And I just wanted to see how bad those were. And they weren't Titans, was it Titans returned that had the super thin foil stickers? Yeah. They weren't that bad, but they still weren't great. Yeah, they're not, they're not Toy Hacks quality. Toy Hacks quality is, I looked at the backing of their stuff. They're made, the company that makes those actually make decals that can go on cars. And they're made to last. Are fantastic, because that's why usually in all my reviews I'll point out like, hey, you got these two decal sheets. This one's on foil backing. This one's on vinyl, love the vinyl. Yeah. I mean, I know sometimes people complain about the price, but you know, you're not paying for something cheap. You're not paying. I mean, it's not just regular stickers that you're buying. My generation one six shot over there, I Toy Hacks him up in 2012. I did a review on him. I think maybe it was last month. Those decals are still pristine looking and sticking. So yeah, they last. The biggest thing is I've learned like where they come off is on curved areas or little tiny areas. So that's why I really start use the heat trick to help them up a little bit. Oh yeah. And I think that will help with education. And of course, I mean, sometimes I, you know, a lot of people forget like these toys. Sometimes when they come out of the factory, there's like a little mold release on it. So you do got to wipe them clean, at least to get the best adhesion on it. Oh, somebody's wanting to know what you got in the pipes. What's next? I, well, I share with you guys, I made G2 guns. So if you see side swipe, generation two side swipe and jazz, they come with these large brightly colored guns with the missile that goes in it, right? So I recently got the Toy Hacks set for G2 jazz and I do have those guns. I made some, I just got to figure out how much I'm going to print out. I don't know if a lot of folks like them would like them or stuff, but I made some G2 guns to go with side swipe and jazz. And I might do a voice box for Starscream. I don't know. Let's see. You see the revenge stand at fire talks made me. Yeah, that's nice, man. And then it has room for the small figures on the bottom. Well, he went all out. You got three of them right here. You got a couple of different bases. So you got that one that says revenge, that one that has the Decepticon insignia, or if you get a bunch of those little figures, he's ready for you. Nice, nice. So it's funny. Cause we're gonna get a whole bunch of them with the Galvatron, the upcoming clear Galvatron. That's one I didn't buy. I was like, I already got two versions of it. And if y'all know me, I hate translucent plastics. I just have no desire for it. Oh man, you're opposite of deluxe. And I like translucent stuff. I know you gotta be very careful with them, but I'm a sucker for those clear plastic stuff. All right, well, brother, we have been on here for an hour and 16 minutes. I know you probably wanna spend some family time. It's almost dinner time in your area, and I'm ready to go to bed. I got a big day tomorrow. We're gonna try to do the outside of the house as far as decorations are concerned. It's gonna be like almost 70 degrees here. Perfect day for Christmas decorations. Nice. Excuse me, I had to cough a bit, so I had to mute. That's okay. Galvatron's why I had to hold those spots. Well, once again, I wanna give you a big thank you for hopping on tonight. Pleasure to talk to you again. We chat all the time on Facebook, but I was really looking forward to doing this again. Appreciate you coming on, everybody in the chat. Thank you so much. Appreciate the super chats, and stay tuned. I've got a whole bunch of new reviews coming out. The next toy hex decal, I'm really excited to apply, which is not the arc. I'm taking a break from the arc. I have this decal set for the Botropolis Rescue Mission set, and this looks like this is really gonna improve those figures, especially for the base modes.
