The Transformers fandom was pretty excited to hear that Leonard Nimoy would lend his voice to Transformers 3 as Ultra Magnus Alpha Trion Sentinel Prime. He was originally the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 animated feature movie, so this could be considered his “triumphant return” to the franchise. What I...

I went to Toys R Us the weekend after Botcon to see if they had the new “Power Core Combiner” figures. I found the three 2-packs (one basic-sized figure and his mini-con partner) that make up the first wave there. They looked much better than I though they would.

I have a rediculous amount of Transformers. I keep everything inventoried in an Excel spreadsheet. At last count, I had over 1200 figures, and that doesn’t include other collectibles such as kites, books, statues, etc. Also, I don’t count individual figures in a set: if several figures come in one box (mini-cons,...
