Oooh! This makes me happy! I had worried I missed out on Huffer, but now I can finally replace my PCC Huffer, who has been a good place holder, but fell short of what I wanted out of Huffer. There were two left at Walmart here. I grabbed both because my brother is trying to get a full Autobot crew (G1 more than meets the eye crew) and it will be part of his Christmas present!

I would NEVER be comfortable with a find like that. You never know what could have led to that. Someone might have had to the bathroom urgently, or forgot him in the panic to get on the bus before it left... And then they'll go back for him, only to find someone else stole him and they'll likely never get him back. Which is the worst feeling.

You had BETTER do Google searches to keep an eye out for "Lost MP Optimus Prime" posts.

And if your response is "Finders keepers, losers weepers"? Then you're not fit to own so much as a broken knockoff.

You want me to hunt down some random kid in the real world who doesn't have the where with all to keep track of his own responsibilities? I am not the care taker of other beings, let alone their spawn.
It's not a wallet nor a dog nor a child. There is no ethical or moral obligation for me in this, except to give a lost robot a loviNG home a recharge port.

Nice. Huffer is a dynamite little figure. Simple yet satisfying to transform and pretty posable given his proportions plus he looks great mixed in with a fleet of fellow Autobots. Enjoy!

The Huffer mold is severely flawed. The truck's cabin sit too high and I always have the impression that the truck is "crooked".

Regardless, it IS fun. I have the 2-pack, Huffer is on its way, and I'll get Pipes when I'll see it.

You can do what you want, but there is no way that was left there by a kid. Who's buying $150 Target exclusives for their kids? Probably not anybody shopping at Target.

Got a couple new things in lately

[-Kanrabat-]

Not an epic haul, but I finally got the "Vintage" Cheetor from Walmart and a Beast Wars Bantor.

Bantor is weird with most of his beast mode on his arms. Still fun though.

I've got Bantor still from when I was a kid! I love the weird little bastard! Good find!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Tanks to my friend I have a Transformer!
G2 Jetstorm, 100% complete and with papers!

To be honest, it wasn't a huge surprise because it was a tag-along with other stuff I ordered from eBay. But while I tested it, the peg of the squirt-gun broke in the bot's hand. So I repaired it and it's fully functional!

That's still a pretty awesome gift Thanks my friend!

[EvasionModeBumblebee]

Got these guys for Christmas! I have a post talking about them in the Studio Series thread.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Christmas haul / Pulse around christmas haul. Ironically, the JADA toys are far better than the reissue primal

Over the course of just over a week I've ordered clearanced Beast Wars reissues from Walmart twice. First order came last Monday, second order came today. Before this I only bought Rattrap because I didn't have an original one in my collection. First clearance order was one of each so I could have a full set to keep in package, then the price dropped substantially more (except for Rattrap who actually went up just under MSRP) so I picked up Primal, Megs and Cheets again to open since they're slightly different from the original and I don't have a Beast Wars shelf that's organized in any way so they get to all hang around together.

Their website is pointless. Really.

Especially when there's at least 10 Primals and Cheetors at my local Walmart.

Bought some unplanned things today. Hit the local salvage store and they had a bunch of BotBots wave 5 8-packs for $10 each. Picked up one that had both the pug pillow and dragon sushi.

Later went to Gamestop to see if they had anything good after Christmas. Unfortunately the store was pretty wiped out in the collectibles area, but I did manage to grab one of those big PCS G1 cartoon Grimlock statues with a thick layer of reduced price tags for $20 (these were originally $50). I think he's big enough that he'll look OK on the MP shelf with the rest of the cartoon accurate figures until they come up with a new MP Grimlock.

Thank god someone is finally buying those PCS thingies.

After all these years, I've finally picked up RotF leader Prime and Jetfire! I got Prime in a 40 pound transformers lot from goodwill and Jetfire off ebay 100% complete. This has been a dream set to have. Now to try and find a complete RotF Megatron.

Despite the scale, both of these still hold up. I have the Takara DOTM "Buster" two-pack and I'm never gonna get rid of them.

I no longer have the Megatron, but now that he's "outdated", he should be easy to find at a reasonable price. Happy hunting!

[Emerje]

8am Target run just after opening scored me a Kingdom Blaster! There was two Blasters and a Tigatron so they must have just put the case out overnight. Going to try again on Saturday for Slammer and Pipes (I have him order at Amazon), apparently they have Deluxes on sale this week for $13-something, had no idea until I saw the tags this morning. Haven't seen any wave 5 repacks so I don't think I've missed them (seen them at Walmart, though).

Well...
I'm especially not interested in returning something so magnificent to a supposed grown person who doesn't love nor respect the very item I have spent decades and thousands of dollars of my life tending to, worshiping and loving with all my Spark!?
No can do.

Besides... me likey.

[Starseeker]

Spent a ton on my family for Christmas, so just a few small purchases for me recently. Snagged the only Tigatron on the shelf, and Siege Sideswipe, Powerdasher Cromar, Lionizer, and Pteraxadon online.
