Devastator Has Arrived!

Very exciting: The 7-part Devastator that we've been waiting 6-8 weeks for came today!

We were able to track it this week via FedEx tracking number, that was cool to see when it was getting close.

DuckyBoy has been soo good about waiting for it, I thought he'd ask every.single.day but he hasn't!

And now his reward: It's here! And 10 days earlier than they estimated when we ordered it.

Here are the 7 in vehicle mode:


I'll take my best guess at getting the names right:
Left to right: Scrapper, HighTower, Overload, MixMaster, Long Haul, can't remember but he's Demolisher's twin in robot mode, and Rampage, the one who's red in the Revenge of the Fallen movie.

We haven't yet transformed them into Devastator because, well, the instructions are in Japanese and the drawings are very,very small. We'll have to watch a video tomorrow to help us figure it out!

But even that wasn't a big deal. DB had a good time switching them between robot and vehicle modes. They're really neat, every one of them has some articulation and 3 modes: robot, vehicle, and Devastator-part.

New Transformers Video-- Ours!

Hamster Comment!

Have been trying for 1/2 hour to post on Duckyboy Fun that I LOVE THE HAMSTERS--so fun to feed! Thanks, DB, a very good idea indeed! ( don't know how to fix my google account--will not take my password even after a reset--grrrrr) Love, Aunt N...

New Transformer Idea

We came up with a cool new Transformers character:

A Decepticon whose vehicle mode is a Zamboni. His Cybertron name could be "Freezemaster," and he freezes his enemies... or the road in front of them.

The Peeps Go Stylish

The Peeps decided they wanted to look spiffier, so the 3 chicks got glasses and the bunnies, since their ears didn't lend themselves to holding up glasses, opted for headbands.

Oh, and all 5 of them are wearing blue pants.

Stylish, yes?

Barack O'Potatohead

DuckyBoy decided to put his Mr. Potatohead
together with the body piece upside down,
and he came out looking ... familiar.

(Hey, Mommy voted for him, so it's not like we're looking for any reason to make fun -- can we help the resemblance??)
