Had to import it from Taiwan to get the dang thing, but I got it! My PRiD collection is now complete!

I still need that guy.

Be prepared to pay through the nose and wait for a while. It took about two weeks to get mine, and, including shipping, I paid about $70.

Yikes! This guy is definitely low priority.

Likewise. I still need him and his brother, Dreadwing, but the busts that are the remainder of Beast Hunters and the entire Transformers GO! line leave me with plenty of time to focus on other lines, so the twins are unfortunately getting the back-burner.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I feel the opposite way. I love the beasts and am opening Skystalker now.

Who are you responding to? I can't connect your statement to anything anybody has said recently.

Speaking of Skystalker, though, I found one! And I like him. His wings make him hard to balance in bot mode, but he's very slender compared to Lazerback and Ripclaw and I like that.

I was responding to PrymeStriker saying that Beast Hunters is a bust.

And yeah, Skystalker is kinda hard to balance (not helped by him having long legs), but it's worth the trouble, he looks awesome. That said, the long legs and the general gist of his transformation do remind me a little of Beast Machines Cheetor.

Also, got BH Cyberverse Commanders Starscream and Shockwave in the mail from BBTS today, as well as BH Deluxe bumblebee. Can't bring myself to be excited at the moment, but I've had not so great an afternoon.

Oh wow, I completely misread his statement and thought it said the opposite. Nice comprehension, me!

Interesting comparison. I see where you're coming from.

I was referring to the remainder of the line. You know, Knock Out, Arcee, Vertebreak, Megatron. I quite enjoy most of those that exist (Lazerback, Predaking, Smokescreen, Wheeljack, and to an extent, Ripclaw, along with Grimwing, Skystalker, Ultra Magnus and Shockwave whom I have yet to retrieve)

You don't want Croc Out? How is that possible?

Forget Croc Out... You don't want the other three Abominus pieces? That... Boggles my mind.

(If UPS tracking is to be trusted, my Blight, Windrazor, and Rippersnapper will arrive on Tuesday. Can't wait!)

Same here!

Finally, after searching for one within my budget, I now own an Arms Micron AM-12 War Breakdown figure. I won it on ebay for $68.99. This is an exciting moment in my life because i've heard nothing but good things about the Voyager Breakdown mold in general, not just Breakdown himself, but Autobot Swerve and Cyrus Breakdown as well. ebay is such a great place to buy transformers and thier third-party add-ons and figures. one time i got a Maketoys Battle Tanker first edition add-on kit for my Reveal The Shield Optimus Prime for about the price of a knock-off, and it was the genuine article, complete with the Drift Sword. now i gotta get the Voyager Breakdown repaints and a Knockout figure, not to mention a voyager tfp Megatron, i'm not even gonna bother with Airrachnid, i hear she is a waste of money.

Again, I'm referring to the remainder of the Beast Hunters line. The main line, not Cyberverse which is a separate toyline.

I want Windrazor. The other four can be burned.

Feh. If you can't appreciate them, fine. Leave them for someone who will. I have Twinstrike and Hun-Gurr, and feel you're making a mistake on passing on them. Twinstrike, in particular, has a very satisfyingly complex transformation for a Legion-class figure, and both look very nice in either mode.

I look forward to my Tuesday. On that day, Abominus will be whole, and fear will rule the Cyberverse.

BH Ratchet and Dreadwing from Amazon. And Amazon needs to stop shipping things in boxes smaller than the packaging of the product. Grr...

Ah well. The real goodness comes tomorrow.

Windrazor, Rippersnapper, and Blight arrived from BBTS today.

Windrazor is a great figure.

Rippersnapper and Blight would be great, too, if they didn't have QC issues. Rippersnapper can't hold his gun and his robot-mode head is prone to falling off, Blight has one robot foot/beast hand that's really floppy. I suspect Rippersnapper's problems may be endemic to the mold, but I'm fairly sure I just got a defective Blight.

If anyone else gets these figures, please let me know if you also experience issues.

Got myself a new Twinstrike to replace my broken one.

Also a couple Hun-Gurrs to sell on ebay because I am aparrently the scum of the earth.

How exactly did it break? Is it the rotating panel on the back legs? If so, that appears to be fairly common issue with this guy.

It was. I'll have to be more careful with this one.

Damn shame about the breakage, because otherwise it's a neat little toy.

But for the moment, Abominus lives again!

Anyone else having trouble locating Cyberverse Hardshell?

Target and TRU don't seem to have him...

I saw one or two at a local Walmart the other day. I haven't seen very many at all, though.

I've seen Trailcutter a few times, but never Hardshell.

I saw a few at Target the other day, but that's it. I saw Cyberverse Shockwave in a store before I saw Hardshell. There's a reason I do most of my toy shopping online these days.
