Thank Jesus for a good day in Utah 2/23/17 Day 1 of 4 Salt Lake City.

Aloha in Utah! Today we venture into the Beehive state. I wanted to see the snow and snowboard so what better place than Utah! I took a red eye flight and landed in Salt Lake City Airport a little before 7AM. Results? Snowing as promised.

My old friend Tram picked me up from SLC and we arrived to her home to be greeted by Che (another old work buddy and husband to Tram), their Kid Mateo, and dog Lilo.

Tram whipped us some delicious breakfast burritos. Afterwards, we set off to see the area of Salt Lake City.

The Main Mormon Church

 

 

The church is beautiful. You can tour around the area but if you ain't a member you can't set foot in the main church. However, you could visit the visitor's area in the vicinity. We drove around the city and I took random pictures in the car. I will admit that I should I asked Tram to bring me to Vivint Smart Home Arena where the Utah Jazz play. Better luck next time.

 

 

Natural History Museum of Utah

 

For more info go to: Natural History Musuem of Utah

Good for the kids and lots of info of Utah's past.

Eating at Red Robins!

 

Well that actually concluded my day. I stopped by a Trader Joe's to shop for gifts and supplies. We then went home to Tram's place and called it a night. I was pretty Jetlagged and that pretty much explains it all. Later folks. See you in day 2. 

Toy Review: Transformers Generations Sandstorm

Well, it isn't like Hastak to not use a mold more than once. So what we got next? A Sandstorm! Ok bad joke. Just Sandstorm the character. Like usual, let us examine the figure and let's get started!

Boxing and contents.

 

 

 

Pretty similar to Generations Springer's concept and packaging. Included is a black and white portrait of his box art cover and the instructions manual.

Toy Review: Transformers Generations Springer

                                                 

At long last, I finally decided to review Generations Springer. The funny thing is that I own Warbot Defender (Fansproject version of Springer) but never did opened either one until now. Enough with the whole teasing and thesis statements. Let's get started!

The box!

 

 

Box is your standard Generations voyager packaging, but I thought the poster version of his box portrait was nice. Dunno why but it looked very nice.

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG25 Titans Return Blurr

                                                            

Aloha. I finally decided to open up a deluxe figure legends (Titan returns) figure. I chose Blurr whom I will compare to the IDW Generations Blurr and discuss a few other things. Without delay, let's get started!

Box and Packaging.

 

 

 

 

What Takara packaging isn't complete without a Manga? I was actually happy to see Blurr reminisce about the time he left Cybertron with Kup and Rodimus Prime (Japanese version of Headmasters). From that point on, I had no idea what was going on. I could see that Shockwave is apparently disguising himself as an Autobot and then Blurr takes on Galvatron later. However, thanks to TFwiki, here is the full story: Legends Comic: Bonus edition Vol 25.

As an addition to the comic, included is the figure with his Headmaster (Hyper fire I presume), tech specs, and instruction manual.
