Photo-A-Day #803 – Among the Robots

Among the Robots

Another day, more Transformers. I emptied out all the boxes. I think I have misplaced a box somewhere though. I am not sure where that box is. It has some Binaltech transformers in it though.

I’ve set up one half of the room, the Decepticon half, All the ones that are not in boxes are all over the floor and need to be put into the bookshelf. I took a bunch of pictures while I made some progress. Here are some additional images.

It was very fun looking through all my old Transformers. I played with my original ones and they have some marks of wear and tear. Stickers have been moved, I used to take them apart with tiny screwdrivers and put them back together. Some characters are missing parts but not many, very very few are missing any parts at all. I may have to search the parts dealers at BotCon to see if I can get some replacement parts.

Today’s Photo-A-Day was taken with my xshot. So how do you get your XShot discount? Head to XShot and put an XShot in your cart then just enter SparkRocks when you checkout. Hurry though, the promo code lasts till July 15th.

Transformers

I realized today that I didn’t show you my haul from yesterday’s outing at the Hasbro Toy company. I picked up 4 transformers that I had been waiting to get. And the funny thing is that today Hasbro sent me an e-mail (I’m subscribed to their online toy store) with a message that Transformers are on sale for up to 50% off until March 11, 2007. The prices still don’t beat the ones I got at the actual company. I’m very excited about the figures. I love the whole Classics’ line and wish that there were more of them. I hear that at this year’s convention the molds that are being used are the ones for the Classics.

So I am venturing into new waters. I have started another blog. This one is called The Wired Kayaker and I will be creating an outdoors and technology blog. One of the reasons I am doing this is because I would like to get into podcasting and video podcasting and this blog really isn’t the forum for that. I also wanted to blog about the things I love in a more specific way. This blog is a mass of everything that I have coming at me and is mostly pop culture and Photo-A-Day. Flatwater was going to be my kayaking blog but I turned that into a bookstore of sorts with an affiliate membership with Amazon.com. Now it is a listing of the things I want to buy on Amazon.com as well as the current books I am reading.

Another reason I want to do The Wired Kayaker is so it would force me to get out on the water more this season. I plan to try and get out each time I am on the Cape and try to get out and explore new places. So check it out when you get a chance. It is brand new.
