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.

Blog #240: Toy Review: Transformers Prime Deluxe Sergeant Kup

Posted on October 15, 2012 by lmb3

Transformers Prime Deluxe Sergeant Kup Kup was of course originally meant to be Ironhide, but for some reason, Hasbro decided to repaint and rename him.  In some ways it works, but it’s so clearly meant to be Ironhide, I’m really … Continue reading →

Posted on October 15, 2012 by lmb3
