The Americans have sent in their military! It's what we've been afraid of forever!

I for one welcome our new overlords. As a trusted Canadian, I am privy to many secrets that can be traded in exchange for my life and well-being.

That's just odd. Shouldn't we trying barter with things more important than our lives and well-being, like maple syrup and beer?  :)

..and Canadian Back Bacon

Anyway Chief, welcome to the board!

But I DID mail out a message to those on the MAILING LIST only. People signed up here on the board didn't get the email. There's a reason there's a mailing list. ;-)

Right.  I'm apprently on the mailing list already (it said so when I treid to sign up), but didn't get the message. It wasn't in my junk mail or anything. I'll try again, I guess...

It looks AWESOME!  Nice job!  Very professional looking and I love the reviews.

Just a question - I'm signed up, were we supposed to get it by email?  ???]
Or is that feature coming later?

Off Topic / Re: So how was Christmas 2007?

Calm. Peace.  Sort of the antithesis to Raptor's.

I picked up a few items on ebay (thanks to Condor) and relaxed with family.

I want to hear how Savageplay's Christmas went after all the great gifts to his kid!  Joe to the world!   :)

Yeah, Heavy Duty is a poor man's Roadblock.  I thought at first that the change a few years ago was because they didn't have the rights to the name anymore or something, but I gather that is not the case. 
If I recall, they did change the names of some of the Transformers characters mentioned during casting. Unless there is some legal reason, I could see HD/RB changing too. 

Also, I'm disappointed by the casting of Breaker - althought I do see the need for diversity, especially given the plotline for the movie.  I guess I was surprised he's even in the movie, if only by name.
However, they will appease me, if he at least chews gum and blows bubbles constantly!   :wink:   That would be a fair homage to the original character!

General Joe Talk / Re: Removing screws

Pete's method sounds good - I've used it twice in the past - especially note the idea of putting the figure on a cloth or something to protect the face-down front part.

2 other methods I know of:

1) Use a very small drill bit and drill the screw. I tried it once, skeptically, but the screw head came off no problem, I slipped off the back piece and then I used pliers to take out the screw part.  Seemed risky at the time, but it worked out great for me. I only recommend it if you could stand to damage the one part. In my case only the screw was ruined, and it was obviously stripped to begin with.

2) Put super glue on a crappy screw driver and attach it to the screw. Let it dry and then give it a go again.  Never tried it personally, but someone on another board reported success.

Good luck - and I'd love to hear what works for you guys!   :)

Crossed more off the list.
Added a 'trade' list and will entertain all offers.  I have lots more 80's stuff available in trades or I'll pay cash for this stuff!

I don't see it anywhere else, so for those who didn't hear the Snake Eyes casting, here goes:

A great call.  I actually think several of us voted for him when writing about "if we were casting the movie" a few months back. 
I would've imagined him as Storm Shadow because he's kinda short, and I always imagined SE taller than his Asian brother.... ;D
