With combiner wars over, we had thought so was the toy line. But then came the dinobots, and thier combining form Volcanicus. It was the butt of many jokes for episodes to come.

After losing my job in March of 2018 my collecting preferences changed big time and I started going for the smaller war in pocket styled figures. My first entry was dx9 Dutch, a small g1 cartoon accurate Optimus Prime. Here’s our thoughts when the first images of him were released.

Continuing the Optimus Prime theme, at the end of 2018 with the new mp prime
V3 announced the third parties decided to make their own, and arguably the best in that battle and some say better then the official was Magic Square and thier MS01 Optimus Prime.

While we report on lot of news, we also have deep discussions and one from way back in Episode 101 was a special one. We answered the question, do you spend more on figures then your displays?
00:52:35 (Ep 101, 31st March 2017) Do you spend a lot of money on your collection and not a lot of money on your display?
