Is your BW Grimlock suffering from GPS as mine did? Twas a sad day. Happened before I discovered the cause, so I was just freaking out.

[shortpacked]

Not yet! Though I've only owned him for about a month. I am very very very careful with him.

Though it is inevitable that he will crumble. Inevitable.

GPS seems highly variable. Toys manufactured and sold at ~ the same time develop symptoms years apart. e.g. David's TM Megatron which snapped a decade after widespread reports of the syndrome. Merely being "careful" isn't enough to account for this... GPS can cause wholesale crumbling with little/no pressure.

It's a chemical wicking effect leeching an element out of the plastic, isn't it? (Just like weeping Monster Pretender shells.) The time difference has to be environmental... temperature, sunlight, barometric pressure...
It'd be fun to pick a toy-engineer's brain and find out what it is. It doesn't MATTER in the sense that it affects anything... it's more "truly trivial trivia" which is fun to know. DOES GOLD PLASTIC LAST LONGER AT SEA LEVEL? ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!

Ya know, they're really missing out by not having a washer they can sit on... *wink wink*

Well, looks like it's time for Takara to make a crazy rare Lucky Draw gold Dinobot.

Takara did love that mold, but man I do not. I have never liked it. (Not that anyone cares, mind you.)

I am fonder of it than I am the Universe Dinobot, honestly.

But that may be because I have a Grimlock and his dalmatian spots make me happy.

I like the robot mode just fine, but the raptor mode just doesn't work for me.
