Transformers Collection - Cyberverse

And thus the great cataloging of my collection continues. Transformers Cyberverse got off to a slow start.  Not a great amount of toys and most of those either Warrior-class or 1-step changers.  Also the cartoon was pretty lackluster, it seemed that, like the comics, it was the ‘Bumblebee & Windblade Show’ – two characters definetely overused in recent years. Then in the second year Cyberverse…

Video - Stitch: Toys and Facts with Acacia!

While my son and I are no strangers to YouTube and toy reviews, my daughter – not being Transformers-inclined – had yet to make the jump. Well all that changed this weekend when Acacia presented a fun and facinating chat about the character Stitch from Lilo & Stitch.  She informed viewers all about the character and the franchise as well as presenting some of her favorite figures! So sit back…

Ghostbusters Movies: All 5 ranked from Worst to Best!

The Ghostbusters franchise has been running for 40 years, with two hit movies in the 80’s, then introduced to a whole new generation with three more movies from 2016 onwards. Unlike my Transformers Movie rankings where it was easy to rate all 8 movies in order from worst to best, I found this list of 5 Ghostbusters movies quite hard.  There is a general consensus about what constitutes the worst…

Transformers Collection - Toyline Cards

To take a little break from cataloging action figures, I decided to catalog my Transformers Trading Cards. However its been a much bigger task than I thought  Where I thought I had a few hundred, it turns out I have over a thousand! So I’ve broken my card collection into catagories, and here we are with the 3rd category – Toyline Cards.   Transformer Toyline Trading Cards   G1 Reissues *Item…

Movie Review - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

In 2016 we saw Ghostbusters rebooted, which did not go down well with a goodly portion of the fans or at the box office.  In 2021 we saw the original continuity resurrected with Ghostbusters: Afterlife, showing what happened to our most beloved paranormal investigators in the decades since having a smackdown with a guy in a painting. Now in 2024 we get the sequel to Afterlife, the 4th movie of…

Transformers Collection - Movieverse Cards

So I’ve broken my card collection into catagories, and lets start with the first catagory – Movieverse Cards.   Transformers (the live action Movie) *Item #TTC0001:…

How to get rid of possums from your ceiling

The fun of living on a farm, surrounded by bushland. Birds singing, kangaroo’s hopping through the paddock…. …galah’s & cockatoo’s stealing all the ducks tucker, wombats digging holes under the fences and letting foxes through to get your chooks, monitors stealing eggs and eviscerating your waterfowl, feral goats breaking down fences to get at your nanny’s.  Oh it’s…

Transformer Fan Interview - James

For several years we have been doing Transformer Fan interviews with different Aussie collectors. Well as the Big Angry Trev Blog grows, the borders of our great brown land are no longer big enough to contain it!  So it’s time to travel across the watery ditch to a country where my girlfriend convinced me to throw myself off a bridge (no not relationship problems, went bunjy-jumping). So coming…

Transformers Collection - Prime

And thus the great cataloging of my personal collection continues. The Transformers Prime cartoon came out while the live-action movies were at their peak in popularity,  and so took on much of their asthetic.  Prime as a long-nosed cab, Arcee as a motorcycle, Bumblebee having a damaged voicebox – all lifted from the Movieverse.  This meant that poor old Ironhide lost his spot on Team Prime as…

Transformers Collection - Animated

And so the great cataloging of my personal Transformers Collection continues. Animated still proves to be a much beloved and popular part of the Transformers cartoon franchise.  It saw a return to character-driven storylines with each Bot and Con portrayed as having special and unique powers.  With a touch of humour and new takes on classic characters, both the show and toyline proved incredibly…

Meat Recipe #19 - Curried Duck

This recipe was provided to me a while back by Brent Barlow, editor of Community Capers, MC of the annual Rylstone Street Feast and one of the head honcho’s of KRR.fm.  As someone who always has a few of our ducks to spare, as well as a ton of their eggs, I’m always on the lookout for new recipes to use up our mouth-watering waterfowls. Recipe – Curried Duck Eggs This following has become an…

Transformers Collection - Cybertron

And the great journey of cataloging my collection continues! In the 3nd installment of the Unicron Trilogy we got the Cybertron series.  The main gimmick with this series was the Cyber Planet Keys, which could unlock spring-activated weapons in both bots and vehicles.  It also saw the introduction of themed colony planets, which has now become a staple of Transformers lore. Transformers Cybertron…

'Are Men Redundant?' article for TNT Magazine

A full 20 years ago my girlfriend (now wife) and I were backpacking Europe and living predominately in London.  And like many young Aussie backpackers, we were grateful for the free TNT magazines you could pick up at tube stations (yes folks, these were the days before smartphones). Issue #1058, Dec 2003 In TNT magazine they had a weekly forum competition; each week they would pose a question and…
