My thoughts exactly.

For those interested with all the new stuff Lena has I got a few suggestions.

Lena informed me that for the TFSS Stuff, they have very little, and thus waiting for the price to lower might not be an option for those. Your call.

But there are quite a bit of Cloud figures, just like the other times. So I am waiting for the price to go down on those. It's already going down rapidly:



Its almost nuts but the there is a 10 dollar difference between them. I will wait for them to go to about 25$ since this time we have to take shipping into account.

i watched those as well. 30-50 and then shipping... bleh. not to mention conversion for me and WJ. patience is out friend

I expect to see Cloud Helwarp back up there eventually, at least when the toy is shipping from online retail. Cloud roaduster is an odd exclusion. But thats great since its one of the ones I want, though I really hope Hellwarp comes back.

For those with an interest Ebay seller lena81822 some new figures on auction including...

Universal Studios Deluxe Evac
Movie Advanced Deluxe Wheeljack
AOE Deluxe Sideswipe (Metallic paint?)
Evac Squad Blades
Generations Sky-Byte
Cloud Hellwarp
Cloud Shockwave

...and the usual Kre-O and Alternity bits n bobs!

I managed to miss Cloud Roadbuster (aka Neo-Classics Tagetmaster Crosshairs!!) so with more Shockwhirls being listed I am hoping for another run.

Just to precise, its the tru exclusive sideswipe that comes with the silver edition Optimus toy for Age of Extinction and an MP-10 trailer (even though sideswipe is not in the movie) http://www.toysrus.com/buy/movies-tv/transformers-age-of-extinction-generations-leader-class-optimus-prime-figure-with-trailer-and-sideswipe-figure-a9184-43539966

He'll come back. Those MP05Gs are going away for real cheap, even cheaper than the regular version.

The previous ones went for like 80$ MISB, so you should be fine.

I just love Lena for all the random stuff you may find. I found a complete first edition bulkead (though with obvious factory issues but I didnt have to pay inflated prices so its all good) and a RTS Strafe years after their release. And now they have my favourite Megatron toy from the movie era with instructions and free shipping:

Ebay seller lena81822 has pulled out the goods yet again, this time offering the Year Of The Goat 2015 Platinum Edition Laser Optimus Prime, loose of course...


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-Transformers-Year-Goat-Platinum-Edition-G2-Laser-Optimus-Prime-loose-as-pic-/231470575203?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e4b8ae63

...or if you would prefer just Optimus on his own...


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2015-Transformers-Year-Goat-Platinum-Edition-Optimus-Prime-only-as-picture-in-/331468965262?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2d17058e

I would expect to also see YotG Soundwave too?

But he started the listings price really highy for the full kit and doesnt offer free shipping. At the current price, you are better off just buying it MISB.

Wait, I realize he/she takes them from factories, but does every figure he/she sells have bad/obvious issues?

No,not all. The ones he sells that have recently or not yet come out are usually fine, they are simply factory overstock. It's the older TFs that sometimes have deffects. My MP Megatron didnt come with instructions, had a loose screw hole and now his leg keeps coming off when transforming him (but from what I hear, that figure had a bunch of defects and Lena's doesnt have rusted feet, which others suffer from, and I did transform him 5 more times then what's recommended so theres that).

Aside from Megatron, here are the other defect I have gotten in my other transactions:

The sticker on this TF Expo exclusive MP Lambor has the wrong name on it. Tigertrack is written instead of Lambor.



This Reveal the Shield Strafe does not have a rub stamp.



This First Edition Bulkhead was complete with accessory but had a stress mark on his hand as well as a lack of filling in his eye. He also had Chinese writing penned below the head flap but that was easily removable.

I picked up a set of the masterpiece cassette-bots from Lena, and while I was thrilled to get a great price, there were definitely a few QC issues with them.

The boxes feel like knock-offs, complete with the blurry character art on the collectors cards.

Buzzsaw - No glue holding the head attached to the lower jaw, so has a tendancy to fall off.
Also missing a pin which is holding the wing in to the body, but this joint is tight enough that I didn't even notice on the first transformation, it seems to hold together on friction alone.

Frenzy - Very loose. He's basically held up by his piledrivers in botmode on my shelf.

Rumble - missing the chromed piece from his crotch plate altogether. It's just totally not there.

I got the cassette bots from him, and didnt have any problems with them. I fact I've had very few problems from his figures, I can think of only two, Whirl had dodgy paint on his head, and Nightbeat had a F'd up tempograph. everything else has been spot on.

At £8 delivered I thought what the heck, so I snapped up another weird one (for me) this time Generations Voyager Sky Byte!

This big boy arrived the other day, very well packaged, complete, nothing broken, just a little silver paint smudge on the face which is an easy touch up.

I know this mould is a little different to the regular bots Im used to but I was surprised to see how hollow he is in areas and the plastic seems quite thin?

Overall he looks pretty good, there just seems to be something off about him which I cant put my finger on?

Anybody in contact with Lena? I keep checking his eBay page, but seems as if they're just reposting old stuff that didn't sell. Hopefully they'll have something good soon (like Cloud Rodimus)
