I wish that playset were only $20 in the store here, I would have bought it already and opened it right there in front of the store to play with it, lol.
Boaconda - could you take a pic of your little guys so I can see the quality from real photos instead of doctored marketing photos? It's pretty dodgey that you got a double when you only got one pack though. Even trading cards don't work that way.

anyway, I've started making that lore compilation. I'm getting all the information together and coherent, and then I'll start editing the stupid parts out. I have a feeling the information I'm missing that isn't on the site will be in the playsets. Well, I hope that's the case anyway. So I'll either need to buy a ton of playsets or make friends with someone who already has them, lol.

i was at kmart looking for old dragons when what did i spy on the shelves next to the kreaps? SERIES 8 DINOS!!! oh man, i must have looked like a badger trying to get at a ground squirrel. i frantically threw the dinos left and right in search of the dragons...... nothing.
i was too excited to be heart broken though. it appeared that they may be sold out of the dragons because the shelf tag for the dragons was there along with the empty space where they were. hope feels my spirit as i plan my next exciting expedition in search of the elusive series 8 dragons.
the new dinos are by far the coolest of the dinos. even the pterodactyl looks awesome. the packaging is slightly different too, the card is almost an inch taller. i would have bought them all, but i'm reserving the last of my toy funds for the dragons. i'll get that dracolich yet.

No camera - with the ridiculous amount of money I spend on toys, you'd think I'd have one by now. Problem is, I'm too busy spending ridiculous amounts of money on toys.
There's nothing ludicrous about the booster coming with duplicates. The instructions/checklist for the booster shows that the orc dudes/Vorgans or whatever have characters where the bodies are the same, with the weapons being the only thing to differentiate them. The two different groups of knights are more individualized. So when I said I got doubles, I only meant the body type. The (offensive) weapons are not repeated.
Dan, when I was checking out the Mega website, I saw those, and they did look cool! Being such a huge monster and dinosaur fan, I can't believe I've never gotten a single Plasma Dino yet. I'll be working on changing that soon, too.

Does it occur to you that perhaps they hadn't put the dragons up on the shelf yet? I doubt they would have sold that quicky.
Have they got any biographical info on the packaging? You need to give it to me for my database
Boaconda - that's still pretty sucky though, couldn't they have been just a tiny bit less lazy and actually made different sclupts?

There's twice as many of the orcs compared to either knight faction, so it's a trade-off.
Yeah, but, but... it still sucks! Why not just make the faction half the size? Well, other than 'we want to get twice the money for the same ammount of effort'.
I'm beginning to think that all toy companies are just a bunch of jerks.

the game cards and game instructions are included. as soon as i get them put together i'll post some better pics for you airot. my initial reaction to them is that they need a new paint job though. good thing a new set of gamesworkshop paints & washes has my name all over it.

also looks like there's at least 3 factions, maybe four.
Orcs are Vorgan
Other than that there's Draigar, Norvagen, Firen, Ferroch, Odaku, Argentix and Aurios.

I went out and bought ghoul because target were having a sale, and I thought 'I should send pictures to dankingery'.
Then I thought 'but that's not very nice, he'll be upset he doesn't have one'
Then I thought 'but maybe he'll be happy to have proof that they exist'.
And I decided that it would be nicest to not post them and not say anything.
But you only live once!

Also, I've finished the 'vanilla' database of plasmaverse info. It needs some editing and a beta audience to give me feedback, so any volunteers would be awesome.
I also started buying techs, much cooler than I thought they were going to be. But they don't come with goo! That sucks! I don't care about the lights, only the goo!

don't worry about it. i now believe the stories to be true. boaconda being the upstanding human being that he is, picked me up a ghoul and worked out a great deal with me. those pics just prove that ghoul is by far the coolest of all the kreaps and that it's no surprise that he's sold out around here. i'm beginning to think that the plasmaverse is pretty popular here. the stores that people frequent the most are completely sold out of all plasma, except maybe the hatchers, those don't seem to sell worth a shizznit. since i got outbid on a kings ransom of goods on ebay, i've got some extra dollaridoos. i'm gonna have to do a little hunting around here for my missing two dragons and another vile for seres. i shall not rest until i find those series 8 dragons either. if worst comes to worst, i'll snag those spiffy series 8 dinos. oh, i did buy a clearanced tech yesterday. the black one, bogkov maybe. wasn't too impressed with him. but my collection of highly articulated robots makes me a little biased. why the hell are they even a part of the plasmaverse if they don't come with plasma? i know their planet was drained of all plasma, but still.
if i encounter the demons in hell, i will kill them all..

They're part of the plasmaverse for the $$$ - the story behind them essentially makes them godly powerful destroyers of dinos and dragons. They can trick and manipulate dinos and dragons without even trying. One of them even 'implemented the master of the universe' (created god).i did buy a clearanced tech yesterday. the black one, bogkov maybe. wasn't too impressed with him. ... why the hell are they even a part of the plasmaverse if they don't come with plasma? i know their planet was drained of all plasma, but still.
Marketing wise, that means if a kid in the playground has one, his toy automatically beats all the dinos and dragon toys, so all the other kids pester their parents to get them robots due to their dinos and dragons being obsolete.
If anyone else buys Roy-V, can you tell me if he looks yellow to you. Mine is orange, but he's supposed to be yellow. All the pictures on the package say he's yellow, photos and everything.
And Eric, you're crazy. CRAZY.

How crappy are the joints anyway? Crappy like the tech joints, or are they on a whole new level of crap?

.... i don't think there's anyway to avoid getting humans ... the joints are so bad ... and because some of them are so tight, the pieces fall apart. seriously, i would pass them up.
Ah, fair enough. Guess I will pass 'em up then.
I went on a plasma buying spree today. All that's left for me to get now is series 8, Archaeop, Gyro, Quantic and Skysweeper. I had to soak my vampire's left wing in hot water to get it to go on, the socket wasn't made big enough. Pretty hard fail.

Ebay needs to produce an alarm clock sort of thing that goes off 5 minutes before items you're watching end. I've forgotten about so much stuff it's not funny.
Oh well, you will get another chance!
Me, I still can't bloody find any of those ones I still need. Calling the stores really isn't a reliable way to find out either becuse none of them can be effed to check so they just say 'yeah, we've got some' or 'nah sorry' depending on how they feel.
