I had to, Zero! He’s the only Marvel Crossover figure I have, and he’s always tangling with the X-Men somehow

You're making me want that Wolverine Bod, and that's the only one from the wave I didn't pre-order!

I know, right D-Max?? I had ordered an $8 KO of Revoltech Wolvie from eBay two Xmases ago, but it never came. So with X-Spanse, Hasbro got me with him, and then made me impulse-buy this Legends Wolverine because of those classic colors I grew up with. I love the yellow and blue, but it was the brown & orange I think of when I think about the prime time of me reading the comics. I miss those days, but don't ever plan to get back into collecting them -- the occasional, odd Transformer is all I need. Most of the time.

And then there were two....!

Love that you got the BotBots in there

haha, Thanks Zero! I never knew or planned on getting the Kiss Players, but Binaltech Asterisk made me aware of them -- and as soon as I saw them, I wanted them in the collection! Especially Rodimus and ShaoShao Li. But the more I saw of Optimus & Marissa, I felt I needed them as well. Not so much for Atari and the Autotrooper, but I wouldn't mind them Cassettrons.

I must admit the alternators/bineltech/kiss players lines are ones that don't have any interest to me, ever since my handling of Alternators Wheeljack killed it for me

I don't blame ya, Zero. I totally overlooked Alternators back in the day, as I missed the G1 incarnations and those specific cars, opposed to the ones they got official licensing for. I think the one I wanted most, actually, was Hound! His alt mode made perfect sense.

But yeah, I remember when they came out, I thought they looked cool -- but not enough to dive in, circa 2003. They were spendy, and I spent all my cash primarily on gaming then.

I don't have plans for more -- if I can get Atari & Autotrooper for cheap, I'll buy them just to have all three of the girls.

I can get behind that

Enjoying the pictures though!

I have a select few of the Alternators but definitely wouldn’t mind snagging up the Kissplayers. Looking good though!

Closest I got to those figures was Alternators Rumble and some Alternity figures. Not quite my stuff, but still neat.

I need something else from Amazon to get Wolverine to free shipping dangit!

Thanks Zero! You know I enjoy sharing. Yes, SGMLordMirage! The Kiss Player versions of the bots really do look great -- what makes them more expensive to hunt are the girls, the premium packaging, and that they were only released in Japan. But the hunt is in finding the deals, right?hmmmm.....maybe add the Transformers '84 Secrets & Lies TPB to your Amazon order, D-Max? I have been loving that since it came home!

Eh, the last issue really let me down on secrets and lies, I don't really have much interest in getting the trade. I'm sad Galaxies didn't get divided up into 2 trades, i loved issues 1-6, but really didn't like 7-12, and I don't want to have 6 issues of the ongoing with those either, It's just not my taste

Aw, the last issue was disappointing? That’s too bad — I am only halfway through but liked that Punch was narrating. I was waiting for the TPB, though, since I am not collecting comics these days.

I have tried my best not to buy too much more these days, and unsuccessful hunts have really helped me to keep to this! But for the few I went and pre-ordered online to guarantee they'd come home, R.E.D. Arcee was one of them...I never watched too many episodes of Prime, but I remember seeing Arcee back in the day, and wanting her! I remember going on a minor hunt on Amazon back then, but was unsuccessful when the order I had for her fell through and they didn't end up having her in stock. The aftermarket prices for her since then have gone a lot higher, so I felt this new figure was my best bet -- and I am not disappointed. I can't think of others I'd have to have like I did with Arcee, but I love how she looks! I was expecting a lot more articulation, honestly, but at $20, I can't complain too much....I guess.

I have the actual Prime version, but this is a decent take on her! Sweet photo as well!

Like I said, I really did want her figure back in the day, but had no luck! I would always prefer to have the option of an alt mode, but for Prime Arcee, I made an exception.

Loving the Arcee pictures, for characters like her, R.E.D makes sense

Thanks and agreed Zero! She is very stylized....

Looks like that should have just redeco'ed Arcee into Airachnid judging from that last shot

I'd take a R.E.D. Airachnid!!!

Only way we'd get a good toy out of it

Yeah, basically dropped just about every ball the 3 issues before it tee-ed up. and without spoiling it, it made some Grimlock fans very unhappy.

Just finished it the other night, D-Max, and I can see what you're saying by the "wrap-up" at the end -- especially how Grimlock fans would be especially unhappy (I could never imagine he'd do that, and I'm not a fan lol!). I agree it could have ended a lot better, but it was still a fun, retro look at the old Transformers Marvel universe I grew up loving.

Hope everyone is doing well! Thanks to HasbroPulse for taking $160 for a Titan Black Zarack today. I'm gonna have some 'splainin' to do before he comes home, as I hadn't planned to pick up any more Titans (I only have Fort Max though!). But he was just too beautiful....

Speaking of beautiful, dat TFPrime Arcee is a stunner that I can't seem to get enough of. Same goes for Kiss Players Rodimus!
I had some group pics of all my female Autobots and some of the women who are allied with the cause -- but forgot two of them. So they got their own set! And once again, I want to thank all of you for getting me into Beast Wars! It's been expensive, but so wonderful.....This Kingdom Dinobot is simply amazing. I have had no luck on the physical hunt in months, so I had to go online to guarantee he'd come home! Definitely worth it.
