Envious of Runamuck, mine's been in some sort of amazon hell, being pushed back to February then to the present and now to next week

I've had him pre-ordered on BBTS since February, so I've had my share of delays too. He's great, definitely my favorite ER Deluxe so far. He's also one of the only ones who can use Fasttrack as platform shoes, since the tabs on his legs interfere with most feet (Runamuck's are hollow, so they can fit).

As great as he is, I still kinda wish we had gotten Needlenose instead.

I am all but begging for Needlenose. Just give us the rest of the targetmasters already, Autobot and Decepticon. Finish them off!

My mom turned 50 today, and this was her present from my aunt. She named her Millie. Unfortunately, Millie and our other indoor cat Luke don't really get along, so we'll have to acclimate them.

Between getting these guys and gals, and being almost finished with finals, this has been a pretty good last few days.

Very nice find. I prefer the PotP Elita myself, but glad there is a new one like this.

I like the concept of Elita as a jet, but I'm not a fan of that particular mold. I think this one works better for me height-wise too.

My first ever White Christmas

Lots of cool stuff and snow! Merry Christmas!

How did you end up with the older Prime stuff and Break Neck?

I've been meaning to get those guys for a while. I needed Brake Neck for Menasor (and so I could move Offroad to Megascream). Grimwing and Predaking are stand ins for the TLK Knights that Hasbro never released. Between them, the Dragonstorm guys, TLK Scorn, SS Grimlock (I know that the Dinobots and the 12 aren't the same group of knights in the films, but the whole Knight thing in the movies never made much sense anyway), and Steelbane, I've got 7. Need to figure out what the other 5 are gonna be.

N, nice collection you have!

Thanks!

That reminds me, I've switched up my shelves alot recently, might have to update the pics on the front page.

[SGMLordMirage]

Nothing wrong with that, keep it fresh!

Got these two for a combined $30 at Walmart today. Snapdragon was discounted because there were a mountain of him and Starscreams (if I had any artistic talent, I probably could have bought enough Starscreams to customize into all of the distinct Seeker decos). He's pretty good.

Doubledealer, on the other hand, is kind of a QC mess, but that was to be expected because he was clearly opened and returned, and was discounted to $12. He's stable enough to hold a pose at least, so I'm just gonna pretend I got him free with Snapdragon and call it a worthwile purchase.

Still would have been a good day if these were the only 2 TFs I found, but they're just a prelude to the main event. Yeeesssss...

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Cool! I love Doubledealer, he is one of my favorites from the WFC trilogy

My first figure from the Kingdom line, and what a way to start off. Both modes look awesome and he has a lot of heft to him. The backpack is manageable and he can hold a bunch of poses. Only problem with him is that the transformation is extremely fiddly, but that's probably because I was doing it from memory (no instructions). It'll probably get easier the more I do it.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Really cool, he and Primal are all I'm waiting on from wave 1

Now I just need Cyclonus and Paleotrex, and then I'll have everyone I want from wave 1.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

monkey man! Very nice.

I only need Munky and Rexy. Paleotrex is super weird, he's great

They're both great and a fantastic start to Kingdom for me. Primal gets the edge so far because his transformation is less annoying and I'm a bit iffy on Megatron's soft plastic.

Paleotrex is super weird, he's great

I originally wasn't sure how to feel about Paleotrex because of the weirdly proportioned bot mode, but then I came to my senses and realized that was the whole point. I also found this awesome image:

I'll probably have all the main Fossilizers in bot mode, but once I get Selects Transmutate and maybe the purple Netflix one, they'll both be displayed like that.
