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 #110: Toy Review: Botcon 2012 Soundwave Headband

Posted on May 2, 2012 by lmb3

I should warn you, I might rant a little. I keep seeing this listed as a bandana.  I’m honestly not sure if that is correct as well, but according to my Google searches, headband is more accurate. I’m going to … Continue reading →

Posted on April 29, 2012 by lmb3

Found these this week.  For my thoughts on the overall Bot Shots concept (or lack there of) see my previous blog. All Transformers Bot Shots have essentially the same design, just different head and vehicle sculpts onto the base design.  I … Continue reading →

Posted on April 29, 2012 by lmb3

Picked up Wave 2 of Transformers Prim/2012 Cyberverse Legion.  This wave illustrated something I hate about Hasbro.  Ever since Beast Wars, every Transformers Series has had a subtitle, Armada, Energon, Universe, etc.  That changed in 2010 when they had the … Continue reading →

Loved it.  The Raven is a classic murder mystery that pulls no punches with its gory violence.  It’s filled with suspense and darkness. The film stars John Cusack brilliantly portraying famed author Edgar Allen Poe.  From scene to scene, he … Continue reading →
