the upgrade kit came today, what luck

[zodconvoy]

Got Kup, Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, G2 Prime and Bumblebee the Wednesday from BBTS and the Superion upgrade from TFSource came yesterday. Really solid bunch. Favorite by far is Kup but I'm so glad I ordered the cy-gar head from iGear. When I get that, maybe I'll stop calling him Shitpiece. While I do like the Wreck-Gar figure I am wondering if getting the 3 other uses of the mold will be worth it. Still, I can have Scourge and the Sweeps versus a Junkion biker gang!

And this is my 2nd time having the Superion set. I like it and the Combaticon set together. Bruticus looks like a hulking monster while Superion looks like a more acrobatic fighter, ala Nightwing.

I just called in my pile of loot, I am getting Takara Jazz and Tracks and Hasbro Perceptor, Kup, Wreck Gar.

Next on the block is Takara Grapple, Lugnut and Wreck Gar and hasbro Wheeljack, WarPath Thundercracker and Scourge... I cant wait to have more money.

[Stumpybot]

Been a busy week for moi. Just got my first Scourge (getting 3/4 generations and 1 united in total), Wreck Gar (whose right handle bar broke off within an hour, so ive ordered another one), Kup, Universe Starscream (floppy wings. gutted), a few Legends (Rodimus, Wheelie, G.Bumblebee, RTS Megatron) and i got Barricade and Gears from Stealth Force (i think theyre quite cool). ive just ordered Universe Skyfall and Shattered Glass Cyclonus. May order classics starscream too.

Most of those are ebay purchases, few from Kapow Toys and All The Cool Stuff

[bumble_bee_68]

Just got my Wreck-Gar today

Pre-ordered Wheeljack from BBTS, hopefully it will
arrive and ship out soon.

Every Target / Wal*Mart, K-Mart and TRU
in my area has none of these figures.

So far I have G2 Bumblebee, Megatron, Special Ops Jazz, Wreck-Gar,
Rodimus VS Cyclonus 2 pack, Soundwave, Drift, WFC Bee and Prime.

Still looking for Perceptor :p

I gotta tell ya....I have myself TWO Wreck-Gars now and when he's riding the bike, he's IMO, the best figure in the RTS line to date!

Not that i hadn't already thought that when i had him on his own but now that i have the second figure in bike form and the two are "combined", the EPICNESS that is Wreck-Gar is unparalleled so far.

Just do yourself the favor and get two Wreck-Gars if you can. IT was too hard for me to wait for Scrapheap. Prolly won't see him till next year.

naaahhhh
hehehe.
I'll wait for scrapheap. I have a strict rule against getting the exact same bot twice. But I understand your infatuation, It is going to look just sick when I finally get Scrapheap.

Yeah. i'll get Scrapheap too no doubt! I really got the second Wreck-Gar not just because i was impatient to get the bike combination but i REALLY want to paint him and give him some some really good paint apps. Make him actually look like he comes from a planet of Junk.
He does, unfortunately, come with a lot of grey plastic. That same grey plastic, fortunately has heaps of detail that needs to be painted and made to look rusty, dirty, metallic and really make Wreck-Gar come alive!IMO.

So the second is mainly for moding.

After all. He is my favorite character......well....the top 5 for sure.

What are the other 4?

Yea, I'm eager to paint a ton of my TFs with some gundam markers, but alas I still have yet to purchase some. Wreck-gar would look awesome with a ton of bronze and silvers and rustyness.

[MGrotusque]

What are the other 4?

Grimlock

Repugnus- he needs more fiction about him though for more people to like him and really even know who he is. In fact, the Monsterbots need a little mini series soon i think. Then someday they could even get some figures in the RTS/Gen/Classics line.....

Megatron

Soudwave

for the most part anyways.

[Primeultimus]

In the past week I have scored quite a bit of figures. I am just starting out though.

Target South Tampa
Generations

Blur
Red Alert
Dirge
Cybertronian Megatron

Reveal the Shield

Bumblebee

Walmart South Tampa
Battle In Space 2 Pack Rodimus and Cyclonus

[Primeultimus]

Went to Walgreens and found a Reveal The Shield Turbo Tracks.

Thanks everyone for the Walgreens heads up!

Now I need to find Jazz!!!

[skrapps]

I scored the rodimus/cyclonus reveal the shield battle in space 2 pack. awesome set

[Primeultimus]

I scored the rodimus/cyclonus reveal the shield battle in space 2 pack. awesome set

Awesome I have seen these at many of the Wal Mart and Target stores in my area. Seems to be a good place to start if you are picking them up.

[Dread_Wing]

Just got my Generations Perceptor from HTS. I must admit I am a bit disappointed. The light piping is broken, so he does not have eyes, and the head is glued together, somewhat sloppily so I cannot get it apart. I do not like how the backpack/shoulder assembly works. That being said, I am filling the eye sockets with glue and will paint the new eyes blue. Once I work out how to modify Blurr's rifle to fit his hands I will be happy.

Still have to find Scourge and Wreck Gar....

[Primeultimus]

Just scored Perceptor from Pinellas Park Target in St Petersburg. They also had one at the Target on Park Ave. Saw Tracks at 2 different walgreens one on 38th ave and another walgreens on 50th Ave. near 14th st or so.

[Primeultimus]

Kohl's has all Transformers figures buy 1 get 1 half off. Picked up a Jazz (FINALLY) and Tracks from the Brandon,FL store last of each one and returned the Tracks I got from Walgreens yesterday. I drove over 200 miles looking for Jazz!!!

[Daken3687]

grabbed battle in space rod/cyclonus at toys r us in laredo texas, there was another set, tomahawks, blurs, battle blades BB, that orange plane i forgot his name, deluxe ironhide, thrust, skullgrin and some others i did not recognized

[666-SHOT]

All of em so far haha. Just got my Tak. Grapple in. He is a sweet figure. I don't do movie toys but, decided to pick up a ROTF Lockdown the other day and I am suprised at how much I love this toy. Awaiting Kup, Scourge, Wheeljack and Thundercracker from BBTS later this month. (TC is for trade fodder.)

[deathweasel]

Picked up Blurr today at TRU in Clearwater, FL!! First time I've ever seen him in retail.

[666-SHOT]

TF United Grapple came in today! Awesome! Love the yellow head and how these figures are packaged. In robot mode and in pretty cool packaging. Too bad he has to be opened where he can join his Autobot brethren.

[faid421e]

anyone still looking for RTS wave one? the kohls here in Mechanicsburg, PA has shelves full and I would be willing to ship them out to whomever needs them. of course I will not scalp. I will only charge what I paid including tax and shipping. I will only accept pay pal as it makes things safer for all partis involved.

[deathweasel]

Today, Target in Pinellas Park, FL had 2 RTS Bees w/wave runner. First time I've seen him. I passed. That figure just doesn't do it for me. They also had some Cliffjumpers, and a Blurr. But I got Blurr yesterday and I'm limiting my WFC to Megs/Optimus.

[SKYWARPED_128]

Finally picked up a TF United Tracks and Jazz, and a RTS "Classics" Bumblebee.

Man, the paint apps on BB is horrid. I'm going to have to find a similar tone of yellow paint do some touch ups. The plastic is also rather thin and cheap-looking. A lot of flash on the tail lights, too.

Well, at least my Classics "spy team" of Cliffjumper, Mirage and BB is finally complete.

BTW, can anyone recommend me any brand of spray paint that is closest to BB's "egg-yolk yellow"?

[Primeultimus]

Picked up G2 Optimus mid week and bought a Wreckgar on ebay and picked up locally.

Also pre ordered the Thundercracker , Kup , Wheeljack , Scourge wave at the BBTS.

Now I need to pick up Thrust and Drift.
