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 January 21, 2013 by lmb3

Transformers Generations Fall of Cybertron Deluxe Sideswipe Vehicle Mode: Sideswipe is a remold of Jazz.  He’s so much a remold that until I put them side-by-side I wasn’t even sure they were based on the same design.  I really like … Continue reading →
