I’ve been a little inactive in writing any new blahg. I meant to, as is always the case, but I’ve been working on larger writing endeavour. I don’t want to say too much about it but I’ve passed the 17,000 word mark which represent between 40 and 50 pages. I’m hoping it will become novel length but if it’s less, I’ll bundle it with all the other short stories I’ve written over the past couple of years and might quite possibly publish it as a collection of my work. It’s too soon to comment.
UPDATE:
I wrote the above comment on August 20th. I’ve finished the longer piece but I won’t comment on it until next month. Today is November 12th and I thought I’d try to pen a new blahg because it’s been more then 3 months. The next section, I also wrote on August 20th but never got back to. So, today, I’ll try and tackle it.
I’m going to refer back to a blahg I wrote last month (this was me writing 3 months ago so that that previous blahg is a reference to July) about my experience at this year’s Transformers Convention and purchases I made. In my previous blahg, TFCON TORONTO 2026, I posted the photo below of my Transformers Funko Pop collection:
You can see that there were some open spaces and I had 19 Transformers Funkos. I’ve since added a few more as can be seen in this photo:
There are now 22 Funkos and a two pack. What was added? Here are images of the newly added ones:
The above Funko of Arcee was an NFT. It was a digital release and very hard to get but I got a good deal on it. I will come back to the NFT issue in a minute. The other new addition to my Transformers Funko Shelf was a two pack
Rodimus and Galvatron are from the 1986 Transformers The Movie. More about that later, as well.
Let’s get back to Arcee and the NFT. I don’t want to get into the full details of the NFT and Funkos. I wrote a blahg once about the Darkwing Duck NFTs so check that out for a good explanation: DARKWING DUCK AND THE NFT CASH GRAB. There were six NFTs released in a first series:
Then there were six more in Series 2:
You can see that I have Arcee from Series 2. Frankly, I’d like to have Rumble and Sideswipe from Series 1 and Ultra Magnus from Series 2. Maybe, someday.
Speaking of Transformers and the Transformers Movie. I went to a ballgame in Toronto to see the Toronto Blue Jays play. It was also Transformers Toronto Blue Jays hat day. Here are a couple of photos from that day. The first one is of me in my hat and then a picture of all of us at the game.
After the game, which the Blue Jays won, we got to stay and watch the 1986 movie on the Jumbotron. Great day. And that brings me back to the reference I made earlier about the 2 pack of Rodimus and Galvatron Funkos from the movie. Last month I found out there was going to be a new release of Funkos from the 1986 movie. Here’s a look at them:
I had been watching for an update on when these would be released but couldn’t find anything online. Last weekend, however, I walked into my local Mindgames store and they had all five. I only picked up Wheeljack but I don’t have a picture of him on my shelf yet. Here’s a picture of what he looks like in box:
I didn’t pick up the others because I have to have some things to put on my Christmas list. I’ll eventually add them all. I’m definitely going to have to add another shelf because that’ll bring the total up to 27 plus that Rodimus & Galvatron 2 pack. Once I get them all, plus the new shelf, I’ll update my blahg with a new picture.
That’s it for today. This was a blahg that took three months to complete. Next month you’ll learn why. Keep on reading!
