You got the touch! You got the powwweeeeerrr! Yeah!
I didn't really need the rerelease of the Transformers: The Movie soundtrack, but -
Oh, who am I kidding? MY LIFE WAS INCOMPLETE UNTIL THIS MOMENT. (Have I mentioned yet that Stan Bush is going to be performing at BotCon? I don't even know what to think about that. It makes me laugh, though. Also, Peter Cullen - the original and '07 movie Optimus Prime - is back. He and David Kaye - Beast Wars Megatron, among others - are about the only two guests I have any real interest in. I plan on getting at least Kaye's autograph, maybe on the Beast Wars season two booklet, next to Scott McNeil's - Beast Wars Waspinator, Dinobot, Rattrap, and Silverbolt.)
...
Yeah, so I suppose I should warn anyone reading this? BotCon is THIS WEEKEND. My brain is running on one topic right now, and that's not likely to change for a little over a week.
So if you have no interest in either Transformers or my insane fangirling of Transformers, er. See you next month!
I was back in Williston again today! Er, because I was going to the stores there. They've put out another WalMart exclusive and if this keeps up I'm going to... I don't know. Be very upset and sad.
I actually went up to the Customer Service desk and talked to someone (it's a big deal for me! I am so dreadfully shy) about what they've got. They say that, no, they've never stocked the WalMart exclusive figures. So I guess it's a good thing I ordered Devastator from their site and... I guess I should just be prepared to pay a lot for Ravage and Rumble. Sorrow! They probably won't get the Robot Heroes set, either, those meanies.
Though, ha. When I first mentioned what my question was about, the girl I was talking to cut me off; "We can't sell the toys until the movie comes out!" Even though that's, er, a bit of a lie. Because I bought Scorponok from them before going over to talk to them. And he's a movie toy. I don't know what she was talking about - or what she thought she was talking about - but it both amused and confused me. I assured her I wasn't asking about the movie toys. I didn't mention that it was because I already owned all of them.
...Scorponok, by the way, delights me about as much as Blackout does. (Okay, I saw a Blackout and Scorponok two-pack on the shelf, and I stood there for a good five minutes wondering if that was at all right. Blackout looked small, didn't he? Is my Blackout that small in robot mode? Before it occurred to me - of course I wouldn't know! I still haven't transformered the guy because I still enjoy his helicopter mode far too much.) When I roll Scorponok along on the floor, his deadly little claw-hands spin around in circles! He is so cute! (Also, his googly eyes are still worlds of awesome.) I will probably not transformer him for a good while, either. hee! Cute little death machine! (Scrapmetal still holds the title of Cutest Death Machine Ever, but he just got some fierce competition. He'd better watch himself. Scorponok is worryingly adorable.)
haha, wait, what? I just checked the back of the packaging and they rank him a 3 (out of 4) in difficultly. No way. No way. He's got four steps. Flip legs down. Flip arms down. Turn arm around and lower head. "Advanced"? Yeah, right. I refuse to believe that. Of course, I base difficultly off of the Alternators line. "Is it easier than an Alt?" (And everything is.) Yes? Then it's not difficult. ... based on this scale, I shudder to think where Alts would land. Jazz'd be, what, a twelve? Out of four?
I still cannot believe my name was drawn from the pool to attend the Hasbro tour! That's just...! This has all been too easy! I've been too lucky. I fully expect to die sometime between now and Thursday evening, because that's got to be the only reason everything is going my way for this convention. (Well, that or die in a horrible accident on the way home.)
No, really. Everything. For one? I'm actually going. That's got to count for something. I managed to convince my parents that now would be a good time for them to take that trip to Providence, Rhode Island, that they both wanted to take. I got into the hotel attached to the convention center, I had the money for a Primus package (and got my registration in before they sold out, oh, my) and it's Classics-themed! Hearts! And now I'm going on one of the Hasbro tours? ALSO I GET TO SEE THE MOVIE? Okay, everyone who wants to see the movie gets to see the movie, but still!
I am so, so excited. It's the week of BotCon! That hit me at around 10:30 this morning as I stood in the walk-in freezer at work, trying to pull down the box full of frozen raspberry turnovers. Then I started grinning and wasn't able to stop, despite the frostbite trying to break out on my arms.
I just. I am going to explode. Half from nervousness! I am going by myself (er, going to the con by myself, obviously my parents are going to be in the same area) and just. I don't know. I don't do Big Social Things well, but.
gee!
And I just realized that my right index finger is bleeding and I've no idea why. Right. Time to wrap this up, I think, then.
Between this and my last entry (I am slightly embarrassed to admit that my Evil Pinky of Doooom video still makes me laugh. I am insane), this journal has been kind of real-life centric! (I mean, more so than usual.) Fear not! I shall be back to my hermit-life of video games and strange TV shows... after the Transformers-high wears off.
