    A lot of Broadside's recognition these days comes from a meme about him being a brick.

    Not a great toy...they even made him grumpy to with his not great toy status...but not as awful as some say, esp when you consider the limited articulation of some g1 toys.

    I never got why Broadside gets so much stick in particular. His toy wasn't any much more bricky than 90% of G1 toys.

    Because he was a relative nobody? Because switching between his two alt modes means crazy amounts of mass shifting?

    Springer is not a great toy either...but people tend to overlook that.

    Only picked up Broadside to make up the triple changers collection. He was the worst of the three Autobots and the worst triple changer I thought.

    I do like that toy though. The Warbot defender was a nice toy too.

    Probably about the only thing from Hasbro's NYCC panel that would be of any interest to anyone here.

    BBTS/Amazon* exclusive. Pricing and release date unknown.

    Colossus reissue preorders are doing the rounds for those of you who care.

    http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=FPJ10029&mode=retail&picture=out



    Questions:

    - BBTS do not charge you until it's in stock.
    - Yes you will get stung on customs charges.

    Dublin city comics have an MP Prime on their shelves. Not sure if it's the current one or the early bigger version.
    Could be worth a shout to em.
