About lmb3

I’m 36 years old, and I work in network tech support for a public school system. I am a huge fan of Star Trek, Transformers, Harry Potter, and Marvel Comics as well as numerous other fandoms. I’m a big sports fan, especially the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots. I collect toys (mostly Transformers but other stuff too), comic books, and Red Sox baseball cards. I watch an obscene amount of television and love going to the movies. I am hopelessly addicted to Wizard Rock and I write Harry Potter Fanfiction, though these days I am working on a couple of different original YA novels.

Posted on September 15, 2015 by lmb3

Hasbro repainted the Age of Extinction Stomp & Chomp Grimlock in RID colors.  While that is not entirely unexpected, the absolutely cheap way in which they did it sucks.  They didn’t bother give it a new head, so it looks … Continue reading →
