Well, it's been ups and downs.

Up: Actually waking up.
Down: Aforementioned comp. problems.
Up: Seeing Doug and Joy
Down: Reaching Oberlin 15 minutes too late to see Randy.
Up: Mocking the hippies who attempted to convince me to boycot meat, KFC, and just about everything.
Down: Oberlin is full of said hippies.
Up: Food with Joy and Doug, particularly the Jigsaw saloon.
Down: Doug's computer chair made the baby jesus cry.
Up: We went and got him a new one.

And in fact, during that excercise were the two biggest ups of the day. First was surprising Joy by getting her the Resivoir Dogs DVD for her birthday, and second was finding a 20th anniversary Prime on the back of a shelf...and Doug telling me, "Put him in the cart, you can pay me back later."

Still haven't taken him out of the box. Too busy going: "WAU!"

Up: Toyfare #80 features a ton of 80's style toys coming back, and others that should come back, including a thing on Jem that I'm gonna save for Lisa to see.
Down: Driving back from Parma, to Parma, and just about anywhere, since it's the last day of the month and the cops are out en masse.

But, hey, that's life. And hopefully I'll have my computer working again soon.

Slick. Get equipped with PRIMO PRIME.

How much was he?

And how big is his box? I imagined he'd be in one about the same size as Unicron's, but I haven't seen him yet, so...

And the American version has fancy stupid paint to simulate wear, tear, and battle damage. Is it very obtuse? That's what I'm worried about. I want to look at shiney metal Prime, not shiney metal Prime's rust stains.

It's about as tall as Unicron's, but narrower. The paint doesn't bother me that much, really. He was $70, and he is 99% shiney and kickass.

What's that 1%, then? :D

And that's more than I was expecting him to be. Hmm. Ah, well, certainly better than the first estimations way back when that had him pegged as $100.

He's got some blackish sootish stuff on the shoulder with his Autobot symbol, and a touch of it on his grille in Robot Mode that is not visible in Truck mode. I think the $100 comes from the Japanese imports, mostly.
