Want to get some cool customs/repaints of some Universe figures and help
the Make-A-Wish Foundation? Check out this ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=130345949364&Category=4696

Bids up to about $1500 (as of posting this). It would be interesting to
see how high this goes.

Personally I like the hound, Jazz and Optimus Figures and if I had the
money I would definitively bid on it.

Very cool customs! Seeing "the gang" all together makes me want
reissues of the original G1 Mirage, Sunstreaker, and Wheeljack toys
more than ever.

the moron doing the ebay listing set the high resolution images to
damn high. i've got broadband cable & the ebay page has a hard time
loading. I had to reload aol 3 times just to get rid of the page.

the moron running this ebay auction must be related to the retards
over at seibertron.com. at least a few times per week the
seibertron.com site owners load extremly high resolution pics on the
front page. wonder if those morons ever heard over click on smaller
link pics.

Sorry,nothing pisses me off more than morons who load extremly high
resolution pics. the end result is tons of users computers
freezing,not responding or taking forever for the web site page to
fully load up to 100%. I really don't enjoy shutting down my aol
software or logging off just to stop the page from not loading.

I've got super fast broadband cable. I can only imagine how those with
dial up suffer with these non-sense high resoluition pic web sites.

Having web sites with extremly high resolution pics is the internet
equivelant of a guy with a small penis trying to over compensate
elsewhere. I guess some with small penis's guy red sports cars while
some have web sites with high resoultion pics.

Maybe you just need to get a better computer or get off of AOL. I had no
problem at all loading the site (or any site with large large Images).
And I welcome large res. pics. In fact the larger the better. That way
I'm not having to squint and low res, pixulated images just to see some
detail.

If your computer locked up, it might have been due to Active X or
something with Javascript, not the high resolution graphics per se.
My PC and its video card are over ten years old, but I had no problems
whatsoever viewing that auction using Firefox with DSL. When I do use
Microsoft Internet Explorer, I usually turn off Active X because it
crashes on so many sites. Are you using Microsoft IE, the AOL
browser, or something else entirely?

That's why I dropped AOL (except my old e-mail address) as soon as I
got off of dial-up. The AOL interface and its browser would lock up
if you looked at the screen too hard.

Unfortunately, dial-up is no longer feasible for today's graphics-
intensive Internet. It would be like trying to use floppy disks for
today's computer programs which can be several gigabytes in size.

Retools and repaints, eh? Hound looks the best, I think. Though,
Cliffjumper with working lights does sound awesome.
