I got the Stealth Force Leadfoot tonight. I am impressed with the extent of the stealth force gimmick in an F1 car, there is a lot more here than I thought. And I have more Stealth Force on the way. I am enjoying this line

Check out what just arrived, got here a little early for 07’s 16th!

This guy is the last legends class Bayverse Bumblebee mold I didn’t have, so he now completes the set! The 2007 packaging is peak, probably still my favorite TF packaging.

Here’s every Legends mold Bee got from the Bay movies! I think DOTM remains my favorite, though the Energon Igniter one has excellent detail on it.

And here’s Bee with my other 2007 Legends class figures! Kind of a janky bunch, but they are pretty cool!

I got Rollbar and Blazemaster, 2 of the molds I did not own from the golden age of movie bots. Rollbar is pretty solid, I love the way his transformation works, especially in the chest. I think Blazemaster is good too, but I can't get his kibble into places I actually like.

I got the DotM Ark, and boy is this thing lovely. I never realized it had the pillars in it!

I love this thing, it is super fun to swish around. now i really want this Ark to get the Kingdom Ark treatment.

I also got more movie toys, including Sidearm Sideswipe and the KO DotM Wreckers (who still stay in alt mode, the robot modes kinda suck).

I also picked up 5 more Scorponoks for the RotB Terrorcon army. $7.49!

I finally got my hands on DotM Leader Sentinel and RotF leader Megatron.

Sentinel is a pain to get to stand, he needed longer heels.

Megatron is amazing, I love this toy! I feel like I could kill someone with him he's so solid. This is a great toy, I love it

I managed to snag 5 of the 6 DotM Cyberverse sets, and they are AWESOME! there is a lot of fun playability with these sets, and they are great little pocket formers. Optimus is the standout for me. Ratchet is really unique if a bit unstable, and a cool paint scheme too. I have wanted the drone for a long time with Starscream, and I am glad to have it in hand. Shocktank is a great set, even if I wish the gun platform was better. Bee kinda doesn't fit with his set, so I also got Flak in the same haul, who will go with Bee for the set.

Speak of Flak, he is adorable and really nice.

I ordered Megatron off Ebay to complete the set, should be here later this week!

Also, RotF Leader Megatron is a wonderful dense piece of plastic.

The only one of those I have is the Megatron one. Got it for really cheap 3 years or so ago from the local salvage store, I think I paid $7 or so. Thought I took a picture but I can't find it, definitely posted the haul at the time.

Great finds! I have the Bee and Starscream ones that I got back in 2011, I’d like to track the others down!

Speaking of Cyberverse, I recently found these guys from an old multipack at a toy show nearby! They’ve got some crazy decos, but Powerglide and Crowbar are new molds for me. I dig them!

I snagged the Powerglide of that mold once upon a time, it's fun. I still need Crowbar.

Might need to check out the cyberverse line more, there seems to be a lot to love in there!

I got the Cyberverse Megatron! I now have all 6 of the sets, as well as the Ark! Megatron is really good, though i wish his wingpack connection was a little more tight. But this is a great looking group, I love it.

Also gonna channel my inner o. supreme with this DotM Spaceport.

Overall, of the 6 sets, I would rank them:

1) Optimus Prime
2) Ratchet
3) Shockwave
4) Megatron
5) Starscream
6) Bumblebee

None of them are bad at all, these are just how much fun they are to me.

Awesome! Super cool to see them all together, I really regret selling off my Ark years ago. Glad I at least kept Roller.

I'm curious about Shockwave, he was only available packed in with the set so I haven't seen much of it, what do you think about it?

Shockwave is pretty decent. The way his accessories tab into robot mode is a little weird, being on his upper arms instead of the forearms, and his ribs are a little loose and hard to keep in place, but I'd say he's about on par with current core class figures in quality

I cannot get my hands off RotF Leader Megatron. He is SO GOOD!

Also, Powerdive is a great figure too, that alt mode rocks!

That Megatron is still a great figure, not sure what an MPM would do to top it. I got one back when they were new and more recently got a Nightmare Megatron that adds some pale purple and gold. I'd love to get a Dark Energon Megatron, it's very similar to Nightmare, but with more vibrant purple and a slight blue hue to the gray plastic.

I REALLY want to get the Dark energon repaint as well. The shadow commander repaint is also really cool. All 4 versions of the mold are great looking, and the mold itself is so much fun.

I had to integrate all the new movie toys into the shelves, so here is the updated movie shelves! Obviously this isn't all of them, but this is the primary display area

Battle of the leaders. These 2 molds seem to go very well together

Awesome shelves, D-Max! They make for a very impressive display!

I found these guys the other week! Skywarp has a really nice color scheme, and the new head sculpt is really cool! Especially since a Skywarp with this head design shows up in the Human Alliance arcade game.

Really stoked to find the Legends guys too, especially Dino! This is my first time with the Sideways mold, and it’s pretty good. With the way the face is painted plus the small size, the head sculpt actually passes fairly well for Dino! Grindor has a pretty neat digital camo pattern.

This movie Megatron really is so fun. RotF gave us some great Megatrons!

Image

I'd say the leader is a contender for Top 3 of the year pickups for me

In other movie news, I got this SS scaled WWI triplane Starscream BAF complete, I think he compliments SS well

Very nice! I have the ROTF voyager, it's pretty neat! I like that they included all the fins and wings, I think it's one of the only ROTF Megatrons to include them.

Never owned the leader, but I'd like to at some point!

Continuing my quest to build up my movie Legends class collection, I just got this lot with 2 figures I’ve been after for a while, BB Hot Rod and TLK Crosshairs! They’re both great, the sculpted detail is really nice! I’m now just missing Drift from the TLK set, hope to find him someday!

Considering AOE didn’t have any new legends class molds, I’m really glad our new AOE/TLK Autobots got some legends class representation!

I really enjoyed those TLK legends. Crosshairs, Hound, Drift, and Dragonstorm were all great, as was Megatron.

BB Hot Rod is also a neat little guy too!

I used to own the Shadow Command version. I wish I still had it, it was a great-looking piece. Huge and imposing, even with the gimp left arm.
