Toys'R'Us FE Optimus and Zombie Cliffjumper.

QC issues aside, Optimus is a bloody awesome figure.

I'd get Optimus, but I'm too busy trying to hunt down Swindle to get him. But, as a counterargument, I am in dire need of a better (and more accurate) Prime Optimus...

What QC? I haven't heard of any FE OP problems.

Today though with vouchers and chrimbo cash I picked up the FOC Combaticons and I love them! Five good deluxes and a stable and posable combined mode. The colours are burning my retinas a little but I'm sure I'll get used to that, or go partially blind and he'll be the only bot I'll be able to make out. Got them for a bargain price too, I've seen them in three stores, a new toy shop in a mall near us, an out of town TRU and my local TRU. The new shop and the out of towN TRU wanted £12.99 each, the local TRU had them out for £9.49 each, £47.45 total compared to £64.95 in the other shops. Result!

I really dig my G2 FOC Bruticus, simply for the packaging and the colors. For the most part, the single figures aren't as bad as I once thought. Brawl is my fav. While in combined mode, Bruticus isn't too bad, but I don't really dig the look of the arms. I know that they trying to go with the scramble city thing or whatever, but honestly, I think they should have left it alone. Then again, that will come in handy with the Wreckers repaint coming out. But, as said, I do enjoy the set. Now bring on an add on kit FP.....please, of course.

Yeah, i'm jealous. And my wife said I cleaned house this year! WOW

My guess is that they've picked up the reissue of FE.
Some paint apps are missing, there's a thread for it, but I can't be bothered to find it.

I didn't get any as gifts, but just a few days before XMas I got PRID Ultra Magnus and Thundertron and FoC Soundblaster, and then yesterday I got FE Prime Bulkhead at TRU.

I offered to my sis's boyfriend the 5 missing members of the Gobots Puzzler team plus a "surprize bag containning random dollar store things plus a loose DOTM Deluxe Optimus Prime. He's 42 and because of me, he's slowly falling back into Transformers! He still have ALL of his vintage guys from his childhood that he never got rid off. Kudos, man!

Anyway, he gave me something totally unexpected: That OP VS Megs Kreo set. My very first Kreo set. Well, I'm pretty pleased and when I'll have a few moments, we'll build it together while my sis will do her girly things!

...
Holy shit that Kreo set is expensive! O_o

On a side note, I received some vidia from my sis (P4 Golden for Vita) and mom (the 32GB card for Vita), and 100$ cash from my dad (used for PSN and XBLA points, plus brand new XBox 360 Skyrim that was 30$ for a limited time. I hope this Syrim version will not choke my 360 to death like it did for my PS3.)

My family is awesome.

My mom put a Kreo Microchanger in my wife's and my stockings. She got Waspinator and I got Spinister.

Also, my wife got me the first season of Transformers: Prime on DVD. I have never seen the show before, but I'm looking forward to it.

Has nobody mentioned the extra hands yet? Brawl and Swindle have hands. I figured out arm modes for them and leg modes for Vortex and Blast Off. Bruticus ends up a wee bit less stable and a bit taller but IMO the proportions look better.



The way the alternate hands and arms are formed means you can make him do a Airachnid/General Grievous style four handed technique!



I'd taken these yesterday and later figured a better foot arrangement for Blast Off, basically do the same transform as in arm mode but leave the hands and thumbs tucked away.

Amazon exclusive Jetwing Prime, and for $52 at that! Almost completes my movie collection - just need deluxe Leadfoot. But, man, does this Prime look incredible on my shelf squaring off against Sentinel!

Also got a big order of Reprolabels on the way. Three sets for my three movie leader Primes, one for leader Sentinel, one for deluxe Roadbuster, and one for deluxe Topspin. Can't wait to upgrade!
