The Network Roundup: Prime Time

I need this toy!

I stand before you defeated today. I spent the entirety of my Monday unsuccessfully attempting to purchase the new Habro edition of Transformers: Masterpiece Optimus Prime. I can’t explain how saddening it is to read other people’s success stories in attaining the prize toy, while I sit here empty handed. My holy grail of Transformers goodness will be mine!

The Toys R Us exclusive still hasn’t popped up on the website, so I still have a fighting chance. From the spicy new Resident Evil 6 review to Super Robot surprises, The Network’s news has kept my spirits up. Now if I can figure out how to pay my rent after I spend it all on robots.
