What do you mean? There are 6 limb molds in total, and each come in two different color schemes since they pull "double duty" as two different characters per mold, depending on how you put them together. You'll get 1 of each mold in a set of 6, I would presume, as CP is selling them. BBTS is selling them in sets of 10, so I would guess you'd get 1 of each mold then 4 more in different colors?

I thought from the pics that each individual box would come with parts to make each version of the mold for example the Blast off kit would have parts to build blast off or Vortex so you would need two of that kit to make Blast Off AND Vortex. As it is there's only parts for one version in a box and there's no telling which color you get; you might end up with a white Vortex and Blast off. In the case you will get one of each mold which isn't enough to make the 4 jets you would need for Superion.

Ah, sorry that you came to that misunderstanding. That's why I always wait on reviews for things like this, but live and learn.

How would you say the plastic quality of the limb bots is? I recall people saying the plastic for Defensor's limbs was a little bit "rubbery" or softer, not like the plastic for Hot Spot or other 'typical' Kabaya fare, which is good and solid.

Haven't built them I just opened the boxes to see what was up.

Well, The Netherlands have gotten Beast Hunters, but instead of starting at the beginning, we're thrown into the deep end of the pool:

- Wave 3 & 4 Deluxe (with Dreadwing, Croc Out and Batgirl)
- Wave 3 Voyager (Ultra Magnus and Grimwing)
- Both Ultimates (Beast Fire Predaking is the more common one)
- Legion Wave 3 (all Predacons should be out)
- Commander Wave 3 (Shockwave)

And Beast Hunters Kre-O has hit as well along with my hope, Microchangers! Consider me really surprised. Right, time to report my haul:

Legion Predacon Rippersnapper
Legion Blight
Legion Windrazor

Kre-O Microchanger Singe (Code 30031 40)
Kre-O Microchanger Quickslinger (Code 30031 44)
Kre-O Microchanger Rampage (Code 30031 45)
Kre-O Microchanger Blast Off (Code 30031 47)

In short, like in the US, look at the final two digits Now, all I need to find is Hun-Gurrr and a Twinstrike. Any updates on the error of the latter, like running changes?

Last week I found Skyquake at TRU while on the search for MP Soundwave. Pretty ridiculous to pay $30 for him but ended up buying him so in order to have all of the pre-Beast Hunters figures from the show.

I had a Dark Steel on backorder from Target, but found one in stores. Figured I'd keep the second one in case the Deathsaurus add-on kit became a reality. One happy mistake in shipping later and Cryofire Predaking arrives on my doorstep. Nice!

Sweet. FYI this has happened to me before with Target, Kmart, and WalMart so I never order toys online from them.

Nice weather calls for a bicycle trip. Shopping Sunday calls for Transformer hunting Seriously, shops being open on a sunday are a rarity here in the Netherlands, and apparently everyone is taking advantage of the luxury. Seriously, the shops are crowded Anyway, here's my reward for cycling 25 miles back and forth:

Kre-O Micro-Changer Autobot Springer (Code 23351 42)
Kre-O Micro-Changer Dirge (Code 23351 49)
Kre-O Micro-Changer Decepticon Bludgeon (Code 23351 51)

Really odd, the first 5 digits of the total code do not seem to matter, just the last two.

Let's just hope it stays this way or it could end up like Lego blind bags that aren't allowed to have any identifying codes.

Amen to that. Though there is a certain fun in that, and they're only €1.49 a pop.

Recently, following a move, I got IDW Megatron and the Target Beast Hunters Darksteel. I also got Kreons of Nosecone and Long Haul.

Got Classic Devastator at Retrocons for $75 NIB.
Got G1 Grimlock and Sludge, complete and in pretty good shape, for $50 each at a flea market.

Nice! The only thing that's preventing me from getting him is that he doesn't have a matching Godbomber attachment.

Officially he hasn't.

KO companies already have, they basically knocked off God Ginrai in black

Paik4Life Is a TRUE BRO! He was very kind to middleman me MASTERPIECE SOUNDWAVE at cost. Perfect communication, pack like a pro, and he know how to handle shipping and customs. Don't be affraid to buy from him or to sell him things!

Let me tell you, he will be rewarded for his efforts and kindness.



I can't thanks Paik4Life enough!

I went on an Ebay mission recently to pick up... Transformers Protoform Starscream!

With some sort of crazy idea that I may be able to repurpose/customize him up into...

Emirate Xaaron!!

I know, perhaps I wasnt thinking straight, Id had a couple of shandys and it was late.

Maybe I should have done some homework as he is brittle as hell!

He just fell apart at almost every twist and turn of transformation?
The small hinged flaps on his legs broke, the hinge on his neck/back (back kibble) broke, his 'thumbs' broke trying to put in his gun!
I really dont want to touch it again, hes just so frail?

What the hell Hasbro!

Youch! I have the Japanese version (imported by a Dutch toy store chain if all places) and I'm not touching him at all. Add another to the GPS list...

I have Protoform 2007 Starscream for my Tarscream collection. I transformed him a few times without problems. Shigh, guess I shouldn't anymore.
I stored most of my X-Over figures today. Chewie's right arm asploded..........

Went to Cape & Cowl Collectibles in Fountain Valley, California today and purchased:

Generation 1
Sludge
Pretender Grimlock
Beast Wars Metals
Megatron (Who already broke in half!!!!! )
Alternators
Hound

Ok, here's one for irony. I'd given up on a certain low-key chain store quite a while ago, until recently. I blame my desperation for Hun-Gurrr Still didn't have what I was looking, but something else I'd yet to find anywhere else:

Kre-O Micro-Changers Combiners Constructicon Devastator

I looked for Bruticus and Predaking too, but Devie was the only one of his kind present. So I snapped him up. Now to find Hook

P.S. Those Kreons are addicting. Must be nostalgia towards the L-company.

I just got my Linkin Park Soundwave from Suru today. It was nicely wrapped in the giant bubble wrap stuff. Sure glad this wasn't a TRU exclusive.

I won't be opening it but the box is pretty sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing a proper Seiberton gallery of this thing!
