Fifty $3.34 Motormasters, one Toys for Tots drive. Here's how it happened. From RFC 997: tfradio.net/997
Choices were made, I opted to configure the half-height Billy Bookcases with only two shelves. This will greatly impact overall capacity, but maybe I can optimize the space of the shelves on the other walls.
Put up new shelves today to free up space for larger boxed toys. It's not going to be enough, but that's just something I'm going to have to live with. Those half-height Billy Bookcases were a pain to finish, the backing board didn't want to slide in.
From Radio Free Cybertron episode 997, Matt's reaction to finally having the full Seeker trio on the shelf together: "Starscream is freaking fantastic." Full episode at tfradio.net/997.

This Hong Kong-exclusive Grimlock costs $4,500 to even be eligible to buy. We talk ourselves into wanting it anyway. From RFC 997: tfradio.net/997
My new Stern Transformers pinball machine just got a same-day update adding a full Transformers: The Movie mode — and it's harder than Godzilla. From RFC 997: tfradio.net/997
Takara's making Transformers perfume now. We spent way too long debating what a Transformer would actually smell like. From the RFC archives, ep. 950. #Transformers #ToyNews
Monster Jam's Gravedigger just got turned into a Decepticon and it might be the coolest robot mode in the whole crossover line. From RFC 997: tfradio.net/997
So, @manofthetown.bsky.social beat my high score earlier today. He has the two top scores on my machine now.
Thanks, Walmart, for helping me out with a great Toys For Tots donation this year. #elfonashelfwarmer
Chris went full toy detective on our new Sunstorm's deco this week — traced it all the way back to one obscure PVC figure. Wild research. The episode: tfradio.net/995
Don wants Hasbro to redo the tetrajet mold...and cited Impossible Toys as inspiration. Chris was NOT having it 😂 The debate gets heated. From RFC episode 996: tfradio.net/996

Diecast's got a Matrix of Leadership with 99 LEDs and a Bluetooth speaker inside it. And yes, he wore it the whole episode. 🎙️ Episode 996: tfradio.net/996
I let Don tell his BotCon '96 horror story and then Chris fact-checked him live on air 😅 Full episode: tfradio.net/995

Me: I got you something. 9yo stares at it. 9yo: Is it a video? Me: No. 9yo: Not interested.
Tonka trucks with Transformers decos: letdown or smart play? Diecast makes the case that a Tonka truck named Bumblebee is a win for the brand. I mostly want to know who's still buying Tonka trucks. tfradio.net/994
13 years since Hasbro made a gun-mode Megatron, and it turns up hiding in a countdown calendar. Rob spotted it, Don swears his mind was read, and I need it immediately. RFC 994: tfradio.net/994
