Transformers Classics Retrospective look! Transformers Universe Prowl (2008)

Image
At this point, I started to buy TF figures mad-like crazy! I was shopping at Hasbrotoyshop.com and came across SDCC 2010 Blaster, Universe Prowl, and Universe Smokescreen. I also had Henkei Skyfire at this point, though awkwardly, I was opening random figures and not opening them in the fashion and order that I buy my figures.  Guess what? Its four years now and Universe Smokescreen is still MISB in my collection. I eventually opened up Skyfire though it probably wasn't until a year later. On a side note: SDCC 2010 Blaster is also MISB as well. So i couldn't pass up on Prowl since he had a pretty close resemblance to his G1 figure. Here are pics of his vehicle mode and boxing. Once again, pics were taken in the past before I learned to really pose with them. Classics Prowl

Transformers Classics Retrospective look! Henkei Sunstreaker! C-07

Michael Bays Transformers brought Transformers back to the big screen, but it also re-vitalized interest for some TF fans such as myself . The year was 2010 and though some of the G1 re-issue figures caught my interest, I realized Hasbro/Takara Tomy were releasing these "classic" figures by giving them a modern look as of today. The line started somewhere around 2006 and it continues on today. Some people call this the Generation 3 line. In the west, Hasbro released updated models of the G1 heroes/Villains and were branded and released as the Classics and Universe line that was eventually renamed the Generations Line. The western releases, however, left a lot to be desired because a few releases such like Megatron, Cyclonus, Starscream version 1, and Smokescreen etc..  had awkward color schemes from their G1 counterparts. Takara Tomy Japan weren't far behind as they released their version of Universe/Generations into the " Henkei Henkei " line. What made Ta...

Aloha folks and welcome back to day 2 of my trip to Seattle with my family. So we woke up around 7AM in the morning and left the hotel (free breakfast grabs btw) around 7:45AM to head to the Big Four Ice Caves at Granite Falls for a friendly family hike. The drive from Aurora was nearly an hour and a half. To make things easier, make sure you buy a day pass when you see the ranger station as you enter Granite Falls to your left. The one day pass is $5. If you miss the station, you have another chance to pay by putting money into the envelope and putting it in the drop box in the beginning of the hike. The hike is roughly 2 miles round-trip. The path way to the caves is an easy hike. When we got to the ice caves, lots of the ice melted. I could recall the ice being stretched all the way towards the beginning of rocks that lead to the ice caves when I was back here in 2011. There is also a memorial cross to Grace Tam, 11 years old, who died back in 2010 when a big chunk of ice lande...

Thank God for a great day in Seattle, Washington Sept 2, 2014.

 *Disclaimer* I am only copyrighting my photos because I do not want any mis-representation of me.  If you wish to use my pics, just write to me. Through a past experience, I just don't want anyone using my pics to slander me and my family. Otherwise, enjoy. Caught a red eye Delta flight from Honolulu to LAX (Los Angeles) and then transferred from LAX to SEATAC around 9:30AM. Arrived in weathers ranging from 60-70 degrees. Not so bad. Got my rental car from Budget. Okay, ready to start the day! First off, Chinatown aka International District ! My sister got a tip in where to eat. Let the pictures do the rest of the talking!   After we ate, we walked around because my sister wanted to go to Uwajimaya which is actually linked to the KinoKuniya Bookstores. Uwajimaya sells some local Hawaiian food such as Laulau, Poi, Portuguese Sausage, and Zippy's chili etc....

Me Grimlock Hate Push-ups!

Just graduated from Respiratory school and hope that God will open the door for getting an RT job. I decided to get the "Me Grimlock Hate Push-Ups T-shirt after seeing an TF fan wear it online. The pics above was on July 4, 2014.  There are numerous versions of Grimlock "hate push-ups" tshirts, but I thought this was the coolest one. Not to mention, my sister thought it look cute. I love the shirt as I wear it almost every week. Shouldn't wear it out but you can't deny its a cool looking and funny t shirt. The kids and TF fans always get a good kick when they see me wear this shirt. Even my best friend thought it was awesome as well. You can purchase this t-shirt for an limited time on Hottopic website or stores near you. God Bless you dudes and dudettes. Laters.

Beware Microsoft Indian call scams viruses or errors.

First off, please don't rub it in, but yes, I got scammed by these folks. Yes, I was stupid and admit it. First off, I should had really consulted God on this matter, and I didn't and I have no one else to blame but me. But I am glad he helped me rectify the situation even if I lost quite a bit of money. The point of this post is to show and warn you to not do the same thing and to help save your hard earned money. Priority: Once you hear these people with  thick Indian accents calling you from Microsoft talking either about Viruses or errors ( this is what I got.) Hang up quick! Microsoft, through my experience never calls, and after this incident never will. These people are fakes. If you were duped, be-careful here. Let's say you already paid the money which is where I am getting at, then you just lucked out on the money. But you can still save your computer. These people will have access to your comp because you gave it to them. You can see them doing stuff o...
