... and Galvatron and Wolfwire.
Can't speak for Galvy, but certainly don't discount Wolfwire - he is a joy to have.

They ARRIVED! I just wanted to share the joy of unboxing Devastator with you guys. Didn't even have time to do Superion xD The hours flew by!

This guy is HUGE! Gargantuan! Herculean! =P~

and I'm SO glad the guy who sold it to me also had the Perfect Efect kits. MAN that makes a difference! Certainly on Devs. :KREMZEEK:

(Oh, and I found a shop that sells Galvatron for €35,-!)

Duuuude... that's a ridiculously insane haul, congrats! I can't imagine how lucky you must have been to have found that

I know right? I've been searching that Dutch secondhand site for months, and it was also where I bought the :HASBRO:

CW Superion. Which I now sold with a €20,- profit, enough for a new Alpha Bravo

And last week suddenly TWO :TAKARATOMY:

UW Superions showed up, both WITH PE kits. I checked them, placed a bid on both, and saw one of the sellers also had Devs! So I made him an offer for both (this site works differently from eBay), and he made a counter offer, which I think was very reasonable. So I went for it, and cancelled the other Superion bid (which the other guy didn't accept anyway).

So now I hope I can get that Galvatron, and hopefully I'll spot a Weirdwolf and an UW Lynxmaster soon, and I'll be DONE! 8-)

I can bask in the glory of my collection.

Awesome haul Sjeng. I've been preaching for a while, try and connect to as many local resources as you can. I'm a member of a local TF fan group on Facebook, and watch Kijiji (it's like Craigslist but flashier and Canadian) like a hawk. Not only can the deals be outstanding, but there's even the added bonus of no shipping with a local meetup.

I'll probably just give it to my son since he's always playing with my CW Powerglide. He doesn't know the difference between characters. To him, this will be a bigger and cooler looking plane lol.

Try him out first before the kid gets a whack at it. He's actualy a really good figure. Feels cheap, I wont deny that, but the engineering is top notch

More fun than I expected. It's refreshing to try a different transformation. But the legs are floppy as hell and I'm not crazy about the look. My son enjoys it.

While surfing google for :TAKARATOMY:

UW Lynxmaster, I checked Kapow Toys again, and Lo and Behold! They have him in stock again! €150,- is a tad more than I usually pay for UW's, but since he's the last one I wanted, I though: meh, and I grabbed him. Together with a €5,55 Warpath legends, and a TR Scourge for €13,31 (normally €22,- here in the NL). Those 2 made up for shipping 8-)

So if only the Dutch webstore that has TR Galvatron would return my email, I'd be 100% set!

(The webshop has T.R. Voyagers as 1 listing on their website, showing both Galvatron and Sentinel Prime, and if you order, it says they can't guarantee you which one you get... Talk about weird. So I mailed them how I can order only Galvatron). :HEADHURTS:

So, wanted list achieved more or less

I started since I joined here, and people told me I was late to the party for C.W. Joined:Mon Aug 01, 2016 9:30 pm - goals achieved:Sun Oct 30, 2016 14:50! Took me exactly 3 months xD
(not counting the "maybe wolfwire". Besides they'll be in local shops here much later than everywhere else, and I'm sure I'll spot them here somewhere around X-mas perhaps)

After we've moved and I've unpacked everything, I'll take some time to photograph my collection and post them here

Brainstorm is such an awesome figure!

Also, I'm about to finally order the coneheads from Target.com. Target is running a 20% discount on toys, so finally taking the plunge.

Thx WJ.

Also, for anyone interested, in addition to the 20% discount on Target toys, they also have a 10% off wish list items. You need to download their mobile app to get a unique 1 time code. But it works and you can stack it with the 20% off. Snagged the coneheads for $59 cuz of tax. The bad news is that Target doesn't have a lot on their website. They do have Computron, which should work out to a little under $80 after tax.

Nice! What made you grab a Goldatron? I was actually surprised how much I liked the gold and purple

Here's my Halloween Haul

Sweet Dream's Y'all :twisted:

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Mon Oct 31, 2016 8:53 pm

Oh, you finally got one of your most wanted, Will. Congrats! :APPLAUSE:

Got a lucky mad deal or you just said "screw it" and paid the hefty Ebay price?

News Credits: 2 · by **SureShot18** » Mon Oct 31, 2016 9:37 pm

Yeah congrats on that figure. Definitely one of my favorite Movie toys and perfect for Halloween. ;)^

I just looked at the eBay prices and I'm surprised he costs that much. I feel rather lucky to have gotten him when he was out now.

Thanks guys! Getting him at a decent price took a very very long time. This was my most wanted figure, I have been looking over 2 years for it.

In between. I bought it off a guy from vancouver, so it came out to $20 CAD shipped. Not a great deal by any means, but the best deal I had seen in over 2 years time (especially since the CAD$ sank during that time).
