Something I picked up for €15,- incl shipping from a secondhand site:

I opened the shoebox he came in, and he made a transformation noise!! :???:

He's much bigger than I expected too!
I looked up the instructions, and the guy transforms easily, with sound effects! In vehicle mode, he can make shooting sounds, and in bot mode, he TALKS! :APPLAUSE:

Awesome!! Love this, even though not a fan of the animated series. This one's great!

Got Titanium Jetfire today. 100% complete for 35$CAN shipped. Not too bad, considering how much it usually go. The bot mode is okay, the transformation is creative, and the vehicle mode is GORGEOUS! I just wish he wasnt affected with Titamegatronitis. Meaning parts that pop off everywhere when transorming.

Still, look great along my G1, Classic, and Generations Jetfires.

He's a great figure. He looks good in both modes. The car mode is a little fiddly, but is fun. Especially that a TM can go for a ride. Bot mode is very posable and is nice and clean.

Highly recommended.

Rewind is cool. A little back heavy and looks like he has been working out. You can get some neat poses. Both alt modes are forgettable.

Looks best in bot mode and can't be missed by IDW fans.

So jelly of that early Astrotrain and Co!

I wish people took a bunch of pics of alpha trion at many different angles, especially his lion mode with the tail attached. There is no pic of that lion mode from the side.

Awesome! some wave 2 stuff is awesome, and I cannot wait for the voyagers

Awesome list of hauls here I see. I am on the look out for TR Galvs, Skull, and I am eagerly awaiting Astrotrain and Trion to make it to the US eventually

. Stock has been dry here in Upstate NY. Might have some luck today as I'll be nearby a TRU for a work picnic. :-?

Ah that's a bummer. Thanks for checking Cary!

That Astrotrain and Alpha Trion

Got RID Legion Ratchet and CW Voyager Cyclonus. Photobucket is acting like a drunk right now, so I cant show the pics.

Also, for everyone being saddened that they only find one lone TR toy after checking their local stores, this is good news. The toys come in cases, so finding any means the store is getting the toys, its just that others were quicker. But no worries, you will find them. Everyone who was around when CW started has their Aerialbots, this will be the same thing

Found at the low low price I bet? Will you keep your Cyclonus as is, combine it with what you have, or buy some more CW deluxes to make an OC like I did below?

By the way, I ordered THESE PUPPIES to complete it. It will look so good on it!

I'm conflicted. To wait for a sale and risk missing out, or to buy it now at full 35$CAN? :-?

Or have a buddy give you a raincheck when he meets you next week.

Good friend right there. The other Galvatron I have is the Universe deluxe version. To be honest, even with the non-turning face mask, I 100% like the TR version more. Now I still like my deluxe for the aesthetic and proportions. However, TR Galvy is more imposing solely bc of the size of the fig and that cannon is no joke. A larger version is something I've wanted for a while. I'm (slowly) liking the cannon sitting on top his forearm rather than at the side.

Now I need a proper Rodimus/Hot Rod figure.
