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.

Transformers Prime Voyager Thundertron Vehicle Mode:  The gun is crap.  This is not new for these Transformers: Prime Voyagers.  Essentially on his back he has a claw with a blade on it.  Otherwise I really like the wolf mode.  The … Continue reading →

Posted on November 11, 2012 by lmb3

Japanese Transformers Prime Deluxe Wheeljack with Arms Micron Ooje Box:  The boxes for the deluxe toys have no windows.  I assume this is due to the lack of paint apps.  They look kind of awful without the stickers, so leaving … Continue reading →
