Well hey there good Doctor! Nice of you to drop by
I really do keep trying to interact, but my team leaves me little time to not post news. /snark
Did you at least have a good holiday?
Holiwhu?

I was fundraising from 8th to 24th Dec, spent time with two families eve and day, friends on 26th. Was a good weekend, yeah! My fingers are restless. They feel like wanting new plastic. Or similar. Tips? Suggestions? Prevention?
Raising funds?! Did you raise enough? Or at least spend your raising time productively?!

We had a good Christmas weekend too. New bots will be arriving today!! Have you heard of this thing called Combiner Wars?! It's amazing!! All of these bots combine into other bots!! Apparently it happened in 2014 and 2015...

Well, I'm currently trying to enhance what I have (re: upgrades). Patiently waiting for the re-stock of DNA's Devastator kit..and it looks like I'm going to pick up the rest of the CW Combaticons and possibly the Perfect Effect kit too. SND's Primo Vitalis, the Perfect Effect cannon for Fort Max, and Perfect Effect's kit for G2asor are already in my BBTS PoL!

So, ENHANCE what you have to add play value!! I also went crazy and bought a few extra Bumblebee figures..which I sort of have the regrets about..I dunno. So much happening!!

13 days of wrapping gifts in a shop, all volunteers, I was coordinating. We made 1750+ USD, with a target of 1200. Fairly pleased.

EDIT: Biggest thing I wrapped: a home cinema system.

Last toy I bought was Clobber, ages ago. Ros really needed a friend their size. Kinda looking forward to Shuffler, because it's a tiny purple elephant. I mean. Like. Come on.

Very nice, and great job with that system!! Large electronics can be annoying to wrap :lol:

Wow, Titan Masters. I kind of forgot about them as I haven't seen the newer waves in the wild around my area. Maybe I'll see more this weekend! I wouldn't mind the purple elephant..named Shuffler :lol:

And cram, I was just trying to find ways for you to beef up the decepticons on a budget and without repeating torsos.
UW Bruticus is available HERE IN THE US for cheap?! I won't succumb to your import ways WJ!!!

He aint, but hes cheaper than uw grand galvatron and still available at us online retailers. Buying grand gslvatron now is a lost cause.

BBTS does still have UW Bruticus..I must resist!! After getting full Combiner teams on the cheap I don't think I can convince myself to buy him.

Picked up CW Devastator pretty cheap in the first few weeks of release thanks to TRU savings ($120).

Picked up CW Cyclonus on clearance a while ago ($15?).

CW Onslaught was also on clearance but also was a gift (so, free).

G2asor was a Christmas gift (freeeeeeee!).

CW Liokaiser was $82.

So, IF I buy the Combaticons for less than $80, I'll still have spent just a few USD more than the original price of the one UW set. And I guess that's why I'll never have them..

When the F did I get so frugal?!

Oh wait. Upgrade sets. There's where the money comes back in.. :lol:

I like it when Va'al makes this talky. Are there any TR Deluxes that have your eye, other than Hardhead? I could make a few suggestions.

That picture scared the ears right off me. I don't remember that Star Trek alien.

That pretty much sums it up for me too. Though I can't speak for the fire rod yet.

There's also Alpha Trion, but Jak won't hear that.

Can't go wrong with that brown car, but then you'll need his tablet accessory. Browny also leaves a little CW after taste but in a good way. If we were talking wines, I'd say he's very leggy and has a long finish. Depending on personal taste you can't go wrong with any of the TR deluxes.

Honestly though of you just looking for Clobber and Kevs a playmate I'd suggest a little yellow lion or a small purple bat beast. Both are a lot of fun and have some of the cleverest modes of the TMs.

The wolf! Ravage needs a play mate.

Which wolf though? Japanese or 'Murican?

I clicked after a short think.

I already have Kev as a dragon thing (SPACECHICKEN SORRY KEV), Fangry doesn't entirely appeal. Shuffler, on the other hand...

Saw back would be my first recommendation. Fun lion, jet and shield mode and those colors just pop.

I'm having a hard time finding pics of snuffleupagus. If the TM integration is as good as the last two then I'm in.

News Credits: 79 · by **Sigma Magnus** » Wed Dec 28, 2016 6:10 pm

Yeah, I meant Triggerhappy. For whatever reason, out of all the TR deluxes I have (AKA all of them), he's the most fun. And yes, if you get Chromedome, get Rewind too. They may as well have come in a two-pack... :lol:

News Credits: 4836 · by **william-james88** » Wed Dec 28, 2016 6:38 pm

Va<al, if you are in need of some plastic, I recomend either Hasbro Astrotrain or Takara Blurr. Both are very satisfying and fun to handle.

Holy thread hijack Batman!! :lol:

Va'al, get all the Titan Masters. Forever.

And, hey! Sigma Magnus!! Welcome to the CoSaT!! You almost got lost in the shuffle there!!

Also, some of you may have heard a certain Kaiser of Lio was arriving. Well, arrive he did indeed!! Flippin' shirt I love me some Combiner Wars!!

And I brought them to work today for more pictures!!

I'd be surprised if they don't.
