You're listening to the GeekCast Radio Network,

a podcast. Cliffjumper, commence countdown. Five,

four, three, two... Tune in next week for a much

better episode for now though courage Hello and

welcome to the 44th episode of toy cast sponsored

by big bad toy store comm where you can save

from 22 90 % on over 1 ,000 items I am your host

if you and Mike and I am joined by general techno.

Hello Hello, long time no talk on one of these

shows. Yeah, it's been a while since we found

even remember the last episode We had you on

it was in the 30s. I think Probably back in probably

back in December at the latest yeah, I don't

remember But yeah, it's the 44th episode of toy

cast we are six episodes away from episode 50

Still haven't decided if I'm going to be doing

anything special for episode 50 or not So how

have you been? I've been all right. I just got

back on Friday. I got back from a brief vacation

in Vancouver I went there for a few days. Took

in a bit of Olympic curling and visited people,

including, for instance, the legendary evangelist

and his friends. Cool. Which included his friends

Jacob and Jason. Jason being Bothersome Pest

on Twitter. Very cool, very cool. Very fun. So

they were evil and took me to an import story

in Vancouver in Richmond called soul of anime

Yeah, it's evil because Like I generally have

like a lot list of stuff that I keep an eye out

for import wise or anything for conventions and

stuff And they had probably like three -quarters

of my list anyway That sucks did you get any

of it? Oh, yeah, I got some of it. Yeah, I got

I got there were a few things that were like,

okay these I have to get and then There and then

there was stuff where it's like, okay I was planning

on getting this soon anyway Like I got a Henkei

ratchet for instance, which I've wanted one of

those for a while since my original attempt plans

to get it fell through and He's nice. I got a

Revoltech Enkidu It's a Gurren Lagann figure.

It's currently posed on my shelf right now And

I got the Encore Big Mission 3 cassette set,

which is the one with Rumble and Frenzy, which

I had been planning on ordering sometime soon

anyway. Very cool, very cool. Yes, this episode

will probably most likely go up Monday, maybe

Tuesday, I don't know yet. I'm not really sure,

but I'm going to try my Hardest not to turn this

general chat into a headshot episode, but I'm

very pissed at the moment because um Got an email

from the producer create or whatever of a podcast

called the geek cast okay now our name is either

the geek cast radio network or Geekcast Radio

Network and half the time we refer to it as just

Geekcast Radio Network. He's basically saying

that oh well there might be some confusion due

to the similarity in the name and blah blah blah

blah and what can we do to resolve this and so

I looked at some of his stuff he mainly does

tech stuff he also is like his recent episode

was talking about a Nissan. who gives a fuck

about nissan they're going bankrupt um you know

and his podcast is listed in itunes as software

slash how to all of our shows i think even toy

cast is listed as tv slash film which granted

toy cast probably shouldn't be listed as that

because it's a toy review show but i'm sure that

because steve megatron does all the postings

on itunes and the website he does all the website

stuff so I'm sure that there's probably not a

listing for toy reviews in iTunes. I don't know.

I've never actually looked for it. The way we

do ours is we do it Geek, Space, Cast, Space,

Radio, Space, Network. So it's not like Geek,

Cast, Radio, Network's all in one word. Well,

no, that's not quite true. I'm looking on iTunes

to cast a geek cast is done as one word, okay?

Well, I think right all right, but he also by

the same token looking on iTunes his complaint

is pretty baseless This is the guy who does that

the geek cast podcast, right? Yeah but if you

search just got a whole page full of podcasts

with geekcast in them including like geekcast

.fm and such like that exactly exactly it's like

a very unreasonable question well he's wanting

us to change our website name he's wanting us

to change the fact that we list all of our shows

under geekcast radio under geekcast radio in

in iTunes or anything else. And if you search

the term just geek cast, no space, in iTunes,

the first thing that pops up is his show. When

I searched it in iTunes, the only show of ours

that popped up was Tooncast. The counter argument

could be as well that maybe it would be better

for geek cast radios to pick a name so that they

show up as number one in the Google search results.

If you know what I mean. Right, but see, that's,

you know, okay, but the original plot behind

us starting Geetcast Radio Network was... At

first it was supposed to be Geetcast Films, which

obviously a lot of, I mean, I do YouTube stuff,

but we don't do like, we don't do video records

for these audio, you know, we don't do like,

I mean, like, I'll show you video. whatever and

sometimes Michael Wilson and I will turn both

of our video feeds on but we don't actually record

the video to put to publish online so That name

was out and then I you know, Steve had said something

to me about Why not something like a radio station

or you know something like that. I was like,

okay So how about the geek cast radio network?

So you have GCR N which is the four call letters

which like most radio stations like WLRS it was

a local radio station here or WDJX. It's the

same thing so It's two totally different things.

Yes. I do see some similarities, but they are

very very minute in my opinion You know the first

thing when I read this guy's email, and I'm like

oh god I just want to take my SDCC Wolverine

put his claws out and just stab the guy in his

eye You know it's like it's like this you know

I try my best with what I have to put out quality

content. I just invested almost $90 in a brand

new microphone, a condensing microphone, so my

voice and all that stuff will sound a hell of

a lot better than what it used to. And this is

free content. And yes, I do take pride in the

content that we do, but it's like, holy fuck.

It's not like we're bothering anybody. We're

not getting paid for this. Because hell, if we

were getting paid for it, we wouldn't be able

to use half the crap that we use. I mean, yes,

there is a certain extent to free use or public

use or whatever it is or whatever. But I mean,

it's not like we do intentionally use a lot of

copyrighted stuff. uh... yeah but i mean if we

were getting paid for it we wouldn't i would

really use the transformers things i wouldn't

be able to use them in beyond teams i would really

you know i would really do this stuff i don't

get paid to do in the south and it's not say

i'm not complaining that i don't get paid for

i would love to get paid for it they'd be great

but it's still something that i enjoy it it's

kinda like finding a job that you really enjoy

and as long as you enjoy being there you know

it's great that you're gonna get paid for doing

that job It's not like, I don't know, say going

back to work at McDonald's. Right. It's like

how, for instance, I'd love to get paid to draw

comics, but realistically, hey, it's a hobby.

Yeah, exactly. So you get a job so you can do

that kind of thing. There's people who can do

that kind of thing full time. But I mean, realistically,

I just enjoy being able to do it as a hobby.

Yeah. I mean, you know, it's like. When I get

emails like that, it just pisses me off because

it's like, holy crap, why are you trying to...

You know, and I can understand somewhat that,

you know, like I said, there is a similarity.

But, you know, he's like, oh, well, can't we

find a mutual, you know, way of... But basically,

the email was asking us to change our stuff.

You know, pretty much change all of our stuff.

And sorry, that ain't fucking happening. You

know granted this guy has been around since 2005

We've only been around since last year as far

as being published online for the website and

a lot of the podcasts But like I said before

it's completely different We have eight to ten

shows that are show specific on specific topics

secret origins toy cast toon cast M wire movie

we can review You know and when we do use the

flagship show of geek cast radio It's very few

and far between as of this point because I'm

so focused on all the other topic specific shows.

And it's like, oh god, give me a fucking break.

Oh crap. You're still there? I can't hear you.

Oh, sorry, I think I hit the mute on my mic by

accident. Okay, that's fine. Okay, anyway, but

funny you should say this about Geekcast as a

name because I just looked and apparently they

actually did file for a trademark back in 2009,

but it says that it's abandoned according to

the status. You're gonna have to send me that

link so I can send it to Steve. Yeah, it says

abandoned though in big letters here though,

so Then Steve needs I need to have I need to

have cast on FM that they went after not cast

And it's the whole logo in general that they

were trademarking. Well, then I need to have

Steve go after I need to have Steve get a trademark

on geek cast radio network and geek cast radio

comm so we can you know be safe, but you know,

it's just It's just ridiculous. Yeah, I'm just

pointing out that their trademark was actually

abandoned, right? No, well, it's good that it

was abandoned, but I don't know if you looked

at that again It's for key castra dot FM and

it's very specific in describing the logo Right

just in terms the fact that it looks like it's

I mean, they've got no case against you guys

So we'll see that and those aren't even geek

cast dot FM or geek cast FM. Those aren't even

the people that Those aren't even the people

that are coming after us. It's the GeekCast,

this guy Aaron Core something or other. Isn't

that the same thing? Oh, it's not the same thing

even? No, it's the GeekCast. Okay. Interesting.

Yeah, I guess we can move on. Yeah, we're going

to have to because I'm slowly going to be turning

this into a headshot and I don't want to do that.

Sounds good. Why don't you go first with your

pick? Okay, I'm gonna go first with my pick I've

gotten a lot of figures lately and I've got a

whole laundry list of things I'd like to talk

about but I'm gonna have to go with one of the

first things that got added on to this list and

This is especially given that protoman the A

couple episodes ago did his talk about Revenge

of the Fallen Bludgeon. But there's another figure

in that wave of Voyagers that is, in my opinion,

vastly underrated by a lot of people. And that

is the Recon Ironhide remold that was released

as Bludgeon's Wavemate. Now, I think the reason

it's underrated is because of the fact that,

again, it's a remold of Ironhide. Just give me

sick. Yeah, it's the fifth version of this mold

that's being released in North America There

were three in the first movie for the first movie

and then there's been two different remolds for

revenge the fallen Mm -hmm this being the second

one So I can see how a lot of people would write

it off and the mold does have its flaws Understandably,

but what I really like about this What got me

by surprise was I ended up liking this a lot

more than I thought I was going to once I got

him open and stuff I mean the first thing I mean

the alternate mode there's In terms of differences

from the original Ironhide, their alternate mode,

there isn't that much that's visible, really.

I mean, the doors are remolded on him, and he

has a painted windshield instead of a clear one.

This is due to a lot of massive retooling that

a painted windshield was realistically necessary

for them to do. And the only real weakness there

in alternate mode, I mean, there's the zebra

stripes. Although they look a lot better in person

than I thought they would because they're not

white they're silver so they actually But they

don't show up that well on camera as a result

and the plastic which shows all washed up and

white on pic in photographs Again, it looks a

lot better in person. I mean there's certain

places where it doesn't look that great like

say on the on the windshield friends for instance

on the windshield border, but Otherwise overall

it's pretty good Yeah, you've got both the doors

are remolded as well as the Back area of the

car. He's got a rack on a the roof is remote

is redone. He's got a rack up there for attaching

his weapons onto and That's pretty much all the

main changes in alternate mode but when you transform

him you notice like I noticed there were a lot

of Little things that they actually changed Which

surprised me because all I was expecting to get

when I saw this solicit was, ooh, sweet, it's

an iron hide that has a whole ton of new weapons.

I'll have to get this and then put those weapons

on another iron hide or something like that.

But then I actually got this guy. I mean, first

we got the pictures which showed that, oh, he's

got a new head. And that in itself didn't seem

like a big deal until people started pointing

out that... I guess I'll mention this first.

It's a completely new, the way that the piece

that holds the head, it's a completely new piece

that the head attaches to and as a result they've

gone and put a ball joint on the head. Whereas

the originals were just a swivel joint and this

wasn't all that great because just you couldn't

see a lot of the details that easily and they

were washed out. But this one not only is a ball

jointed, But they completely remolded it, and

it's a lot more three -dimensional than three

-dimensionally accurate than all the other Iron

Head heads they've had. I mean, the original

was based off the concept art. The second one

with the first Revenge of the Fallen remolded

head was more based off the movie design. But

this one, it looks a lot more like his head in

its overall shape. It looks, yeah, it's a much

better Iron Head head. Plus he can look around

and look up and look down and such. Right. So

it's a great new piece. Then there's also the...

They completely changed the way his back transforms

because he has the entire windshield and roof

and some of the back doors. All those on the

original mold were connected into one piece.

But on this mold, they completely redid that

entire section. yeah the back doors actually

no they weren't on the roof on the original they

were on the uh attached to the front doors actually

they moved them onto the roof at and completely

redid the entire roof assembly so that it's a

lot more stable than the original the original

the big flaw with it was that the entire roof

was attached to the windshield or rather the

yeah i'm just uh looking at this here I mean

there was a lot. What size class is he? He's

Voyager. Voyager. Okay. He was legend's wave

made. I mentioned that early on. Alright. But

yeah, like if I look at the original the big

problem with that was that the roof assembly

and the windshield were held on by like, there

weren't pin joints or anything. They were held

in by like the friction type joints where, you

know, if you put enough force on it's possible

to pull it out. And they were held on by this

and these joints were on clear plastic Which

means they're not the greatest in terms of durability

like my first one broke and broke on one of those

joints and I got the first revenge of the fallen

iron hide and There it's too weak in order to

properly in order to have the roof properly stay

on it keeps popping off But this one there is

a lot more secure because I think it's because

they have a painted windshield here so they were

able to use pin joints on that and it gave them

a lot more freedom in designing the roof and

that it actually folds up in a really really

easy way unlike the original it folds up everything

locks in and it gives them a much nicer profile

Plus another thing too is since as I mentioned

they had the back door pieces attached to the

front doors on the original iron hide But since

they moved those off it means that there's a

lot less kibble on those pieces and they actually

seem to fold up a bit better when you transform

them into robot mode I Think that's pretty much

it for the major Super for the major non weapon

related remolds of the figure, but does he have

lightning on the side of him? Yeah, yeah, he

has the silver lightning stripes all Okay, that's

what that is. Yeah, hey, you know, it's kind

of cool. But again me personally movie toys,

you know, but yeah, no Really cool the guns actually

remind me of the ones that are on ravage on the

revenge of the fallen ravage Yeah, I was just

going to get to that as far as weapons go though.

This is where he really he really starts to shine

there I mean, it's not enough that they already

took the Ironhide mold and they improved a lot

of what I saw as deficiencies in the mold. In

terms of doing things where it's like, oh, I

never even thought they could have done it this

way, and instead they ended up making it this

much better. But he has a good weapon complement.

He still has his two side blasters from the movie.

The two that attach that clip onto the sides

of his arms. He's also got two rifles. One's

a gatling weapon of some sort. The other's a

sniper rifle. But he also has a couple of knives

as well, which can clip onto the sniper rifle.

And the weapons as well, like the knives and

the rifles can mount onto his roof. There's several

places on the... the rack that saw on his roof

and on the back of the truck where they can clip

on so you can put them wherever you can have

them splayed out however you want and He also

has a detachable front bumper which like it's

a remolded piece it comes off and it can clip

on to the if you flip the one forearm gun around

and attach the bumper then he has a arm mounted

crossbow which is pretty neat. Another thing

as well, and this is going to come into play

just in a minute when I explain where this is

useful, is that the forearm cannons can actually,

they can also clip into the handheld ones, the

sniper rifle and the gatling gun. There's a slot

on there so that you can clip them into that,

so that they're not actually on his forearms.

And the reason that that is such a very nice

thing is that as far... is that as far as backwards

compatibility go this ironhide still has the

same attachment ports on his forearms as all

the other ironhides did which means that it is

possible to have an arrangement where you can

attach both sets of ironhide weapons that were

previously made the one for the revenge of the

fallen ironhide and the ones for the movie one

ironhide both of those can be arranged and clipped

on as well so that you can put them in a situation

where Both of his arms are just bristling with

every single iron -hide weapon. It looks really,

really cool. It's like that scene in the Jim

Carrey movie, The Mask, where he just pulls out

the massive weapons on both hands or whatever.

Oh, you mean the rubber ones? Yeah, like that

one. It's essentially that sort of thing. Yeah,

you know, I looked at his image on the wiki and

he does look really, really cool. But, like I

said. But yeah, do you have anything else to

say about him? Um, not much. I mean, like, if

you're not, absolutely not a fan of Ironhide's

character or the mold, then yeah, I mean, I wouldn't

recommend this, but I mean, if you like Ironhide

as a character, this is easily the best version

of Ironhide. that we've seen so far the deluxe

version looks like it's going to be pretty good

but as far as scale goes it's not going to be

necessarily the most accurate one mm -hmm yeah

you know like I said you know it does look very

cool but my shelf is so overflowing right now

I can't Well, that's fair enough. Well, like

I said, I don't like... When I bought Ravage,

Ravage was pretty much a display piece for me,

because let's face it, Deluxe Ravage does not

have an alt mode. Right. Are you hiding on getting

that Legends Ravage that they're doing? Legends

Ravage? Yeah, they showed it off at Toy Fair.

There's a new Legends Ravage mold. Oh, is there?

I didn't know about that. No, I don't know. I'm

pretty much... I think I'm pretty much set in

my Ravage fanboyism outside of the device label,

which currently, unfortunately, it's out of stock

at BBTS. Wait for the US release for that, then.

Yeah. But I did finally get to pick up Robot

Heroes Ravage, so he's pretty cool. I'll probably

talk about him in another episode. I guess if

I mention one last thing about Justice Ironhide,

it's that his weapons use the 5mm peg system,

so they're compatible with any other figure that

has 5mm pegs for his hands. They were designed

for interplay with the other nest figures. Very

cool And I guess that's about it all I have to

say about him oh Damn, I wish I had about 30

bucks right about now For what iron a hider no

no I just um I did a search for They've released

a under the mark under the under the Marvel line

for mighty mugs They released iron man two mugs

the mark six armor for iron man And they also

released a war machine mighty mug and I found

him on superherotoys .com For 25 bucks, which

isn't bad I mean, you know granted you can probably

wait and get him for 550 in a discount bin, but

every time I go into my toys or us like I can

never Find any good ones that I don't already

have like they constantly have the yellow and

and the yellow and blue spandex Wolverine so

but anyway Well speaking of Wolverine in the

mail today. I just got I had ordered a whole

bunch of them off of Amazon Last week or the

week before whatever And I ordered black suited

Spider -Man, the Wolverine retractable claw version

from the Comic -Con last year, Venom and regular

colored Spider -Man. The regular colored Spider

-Man and Venom have not shown up yet but Comic

-Con 09 Wolverine showed up and I've got him

here. I mentioned in the last episode of Toycast

which As of this recording, no one's heard because

it isn't up yet, but I had talked about the black

-suited Spider -Man and I was telling XV from

Radio Free Cybertron that, you know, these are

probably the only boxes of toys that I actually

save because they are kind of collectible because

they have the face on the top of them. Well,

you people in Canada get screwed on that, but,

you know. But the Wolverine box is really, really

unique because it actually has, outside of the

fact that it does have the Comic Con logo on

it, because it's a Comic Con exclusive. As I

mentioned to you off air, they have the little

cardboard inserts that shows a backing. Usually

they're white. This one is like a metallic silver

and it shows claw marks in the in the outside

of the box, so like Wolverine Claude at the box

or something, it's just very, very, very cool.

I'll probably end up taking pictures of the box

at some point. I know I've done a video of it

on YouTube, so... I don't know, but getting to

Wolverine himself, very, very cool. I'm not sure...

A YouTube reviewer who shall not be named, and

you probably know who I'm talking about because

we don't need to give him any publicity. I can

guess. Said that, yeah, he has an X in the middle

of his name. But said that this Comic Con version

of Wolverine was based off of the X -Men Origins

movie line. It's never actually said anywhere

as far as I can tell that he... is the movie

version from X -Men Origins Wolverine. I mean,

yeah, you can kind of guess that it is, maybe,

because of the, because of the outfit he has,

like a brown jacket with a little wife beater

shirt underneath, belt buckle, and like, I think

they're either gray or, yeah, it's like a grayish

or a blue pants. But this thing, you know, Mighty

Monk's consistently uh... surprise me i wish

uh... put it mildly i was shocked when i got

shockwave to find that he had a wire coming out

of his back going into his arm you know but this

one he has retractable claws which is very very

cool nice you know the the budgets that they're

giving these these mighty mugs Because normally

most of it is just paint apps. But some of the

gimmicks now that they're giving these things

are just so awesome. I really, really like them.

So I have all three of the Wolverines now. I

have the yellow one, I have the cowboy version,

and I have this version. So I'm very, very happy

with this. So that's pretty much all I got to

say about that. And if you, um, if you have an

anim, like if you're gonna do, um, a show like,

uh, my buddy Jason does a show called Superhero

Mugs, if you're gonna run, like if you're gonna

film these guys and you're gonna, like, run it

through an animatic program to show them being

animated, um, the claw gimmick really, really

shows off well being animated. I'm pretty sure

it does because I saw Jason do a preview with

this figure. Yeah, it's very, very awesome. Yeah,

so that's pretty much all I've got. I think it's

a very, very, very cool figure. What did you

like best out of all the Toy Fair stuff you saw?

Ah, well, I mean, there were some very good designs.

Drift, I mean, I knew that was coming, and that

was a pretty impressive mold, I thought, just

in terms of how close to the comic design it

was. Like, they did a really good job on Drift's

toy, I have to say. But I think the biggest surprise,

and the one I couldn't stop talking about all

day, was Straxus. Yeah, everybody's been got

a freaking straxxas straxxas is awesome straxxas

I mean I even did a point of taking when I went

on vacation. I took the transformers The generations

volume to reprint with me to read on vacation

because that one has straxxas in it. Oh cool

Just because of the fact that yeah freaking straxxas

Yeah, it's uh, yeah, it's it's very cool. I actually

I would have to say that outside of Masterpiece

Optimus Prime the original MP04 Prime The Generations

Optimus Prime combination of June 1 and war within

is to be my favorite Optimus Prime ever To be

fair. I mean the war for Cybertron toys look

neat, but I thought a lot of the other stuff

was a lot cooler like for instance Some of the

movie toys that we're getting look pretty neat.

Just for instance, we're getting a Voyager Prime

that looks like it's based more off the scale

down version of the Leader toy. Just in terms

of how it's transformed. No more movie toys,

damn it! No, but if that's indeed the case, that's

pretty awesome because then you have a Prime

that's in scale with Blackout, Grindor, Voyager

Megs and Voyager Starscream. So you can then

have him just... Assaulting all these different

guys and taking faces and stuff. Oh, he'd be

in scale with the volume as well So you could

just do prime on a face -taking spray Yeah, there's

that then there's uh I mean movie toys those

were pretty neat by it. I thought the power core

combiners were pretty cool. Although what seals

the deal is there's a video that asm -zine took

of the bomb shock figure just showing the combination

in action and that really seals the deal on those

figures with the uh... five -man figures because

when you plug in the arm the whole arm flips

out of the limb out of the tank limb when you

plug it into the body and then when you take

it out it all goes back in yeah so i mean as

far as drone limbs go this is probably the best

use of drone limbs we've ever seen Plus, they're

interchangeable with other robots that are sold

separately, which is awesome. True, true. I mean,

they've done a very good job of just engineering

them, so. Yeah, I don't dislike Power Core combiners,

but it's just, it's not something for me. It's

like one of those lines where I just, I don't

care either way. But yeah, no more movie toys.

I'm getting sick of this. They need to start

doing other stuff. Well, I don't blame them for

doing more movie toys. And to be fair, what I

like is that they've gone and changed the movie

line. It's gone back to Transformers rather than

Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. And not just

that, but they've also changed it so that they're

using box art as well as an interesting development.

So I think that means that it's going to be a

lot easier in order to work in Homages 2 and

updates to G1 characters in that main line than

it was before. I mean, there were a number in

the Revenge of All Online that were clearly supposed

to be updates of G1 characters even if they were

repaints. Like, for instance, the hoist repaint

of the longarm mold from the first movie. That

was a clear design homage. There was both bludge

and toys. Both of those clear homages. Mindwipe,

I guess he's a new design, but it's still a definite

homage. There's the homage. I mean you get a

lot you've been getting a lot of those in that

toy line. Yeah, but still you know That's why

I'm kind of glad there hasn't been a whole hell

of a lot of news on Transformers 3 because God

I just I don't want Transformers 3 to turn into

what revenge of the fallen did because it's like

holy crap We were so over saturated with news.

It was like every day a new news even if it was

like very very minute piece of news it was it

was it was covered it's like holy crap yeah but

that's more because you can more blame fan sites

for that really than anything true but still

they need they need stuff to cover so they're

going to cover all the news that comes their

way so you don't really I don't really blame

them for covering all the minute news no I know

but I'm not blaming people I'm just saying in

general just all the just the oversaturation

of coverage on just in general not even you know

a specific website or a specific person just

it's like revenge of the fallen this revenge

of the fallen that and then at the aftermath

like 95 percent of people didn't like the damn

film oh anyway um do we have anything else that

we want to bring up or cover um I'm not sure.

I mean, I could easily talk about more toys,

but I mean, there's really not much to bring

up. I mean, maybe a few things for Canadians

just who are shopping right now. I mean, as far

as what's stuff in stores, Zellers has the Legends

2 packs from the movie line, which, I mean, the

only reason I bought those were for the repaints

of the Legends wheelie and Rodimus molds as a

smokescreen and shadow stalker. They're good.

They're good molds and they're good repaints

that like they're the universe molds that they

used and also, I mean there's the Legends Devastators

are in stores in Walmart and be careful with

those because I've read a few reports including

mine of stuff breaking on them. So I need to

bring mine back I already said sorry to cut you

off there. I'd already said in in the toy cast

episode 43 the last episode Meant to bring up

because Michael Wilson brought up that he got

one of those legends Devastator things Meant

to ask him if it had tiny balls with it No, it

doesn't you need to buy the crazy Debbie set

for that. No, no Ain't buying that hundred dollar

piece of crap hundred dollars. There's that's

on a hundred bucks Oh, it's just an add -on set.

Oh, it's right. Yeah. Okay. Okay. No, I thought

you're talking about the big A hundred dollar

piece of crap. You're thinking of the Burticus

atoms? No, I was thinking about the big hundred

dollar piece of Devastate that doesn't do anything.

Yeah. Right. I guess another quick thing for

Canadians is that Zellers has the, this is especially

relevant because of fans projects crossfire sets,

but if you don't have a Burticus set yet, now's

the time to get one or talk to a Canadian maybe

because they're thirty dollars up here now. adds

others for the ones that because they're clearing

them out they're normally 50 Canadian and they're

clearing them out at 40 % off so that's cool

so I mean I picked up a second one for myself

if I ever open it'll be it'll be to do the awesome

double Bruticus combination of which I have a

pick it's a fan mode where basically people combine

two Bruticus is into one even more awesome robot

this here's the pick here I see, I see. Cool.
