Cybertron Metroplex from a Family Dollar store for $20. All of my mini cons now have a new playground!

by **PrimeSuspect** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 10:34 pm

I stopped by Target today, just to peek. Got my first titaniums.

Titanium Optimal Optimus
Titanium War Within Jetfire

And I picked up Leader Brawl for my brother, High Score 100, who I've been looking for, and I grabbed Slumblebee because I couldn't resist.

Cybertron Metroplex looks good. But the alt mode is a disappointment.

MP-06 Skywarp arrived today from BBTS.

Just finished putting the Classic Skywarp stickers on the wings and tails + all 3 Con logo's. I like the figure a lot, the gloss black looks so nice, I might get a second.

Yup, I plan to do the same with the stickers. Since this is my first experience with the mold, I finally see why you like it so much. It's so darn nice. I can't wait for Wal-Marts to start carrying Screamer.

Ordering MP Skywarp tomorrow morning, thus rounding out my collecting for this year.

I'm still gonna hang around here of course, but I'm basically done with collecting until Animated starts. I've got 20th Prime on backorder, MP Skywarp being ordered tomorrow morning, and I'm going to be hunting for US MP Starscream when it starts being sighted, but other than that, I've got nothing I want until Animated hits.

I feel good about that, too. Screw the G1 repaints.

If there's one thing that's common amongst all TF collectors, it's saying "I'm completely done for now, finished until [whatever goal a year or so later]", only to be drawn in because of some other ridiculously awesome TF you've somehow overlooked.

It's happening with me right now, with the THS Primes. I think I'm getting an ulcer from all the hunting I've done to find these suckers, especially THS-01.

Did that today, and obviously, no such luck, so yeah, to bring this back ontopic, no real TF hauls for me. Did however, snag a few Minimates.

-Marvel Zombie Minimates Box Set
-DC Wave 5 Minimates, Red Tornado and Ma Henkel (OG Red Tornado)

Not a fan of Red Tornado, but Ma Henkel is just way too awesome to pass up.

Classics series don't have stickers. They're all painted or molded in.

He's well aware, I assure you. It's just a misplaced capitalization on classic. He's saying the stickers were added to make him look like his classic self. You know the original Skywarp. Just an FYI, nowhere on any packaging, shipping materials or otherwise official listings are classics actually named such. Fans dubbed them that and it stuck.

Are you referring to G1 or reissue?

If you're referring to Classics line, the one released in 2006-2007, there's a "Classic" word written at the bottom left portion of the box. Example, for a deluxe toy, such as Deluxe Starscream, you'll find "Classic Deluxe" at the bottom left. Right above the "Tramsformers.com".

I stand corrected on the packaging issue apparently. I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about with the Skywarp stickers. Generation 1 stripes and faction insignias.

Loads of KOs

Smallest scaled Fort Max and Constructicons, the stickers have been removed from these due to suckiness, although Devastator does look quite plain without them.

Kabayas of Rodimus Prime, Dreadwind, Darkwing, Victory Sabre, Victory Leo, Rumble/Frenzy x2, Ravage x2, Laserbeak/Buzzsaw x2, Steeljaw x2, Seaspray, Beachcomber, Windcharger and Powerglide. Already put a couple of these together and will be doing the rest over the course of today.

No, I'm pretty sure he means applying the stickers to the MP Skywarp to make him look like he did in the G1 cartoon

MP Skywarp is, for lack of a better word, perfect. I wouldn't want to add or subtract anything from it.

I've just opened up my Barricade. Awesome car. Awesome dude!

But i don't seem to find any Automorph feature in this one. Did i miss anything?

by **DorkimusPrime** » Sat Sep 15, 2007 11:04 am

Family Dollar rocks. Got the Galaxy Force Prime (black and red) and Metroplex. I had the entire (I think it was full anyway, there were 6 autobots...Prime, Jazz, Prowl, Mirage, Camshaft, and Hoist) Spychangers set in my hands along with a couple Scout-class Universe characters in my hands when I turned and there they were. I left behind the other pile and brought home the two $20 leader-class.

Metroplex is *TALL* in bot mode, and kinda looks like he's on the receiving end of something...doggy-style... :shock:

when he's in battle station mode.

Galaxy Force Prime is awesome, and I think I like the black better than the blue, though I've never seen the blue in person.

Also, I do not remember where I read it, but whoever came up with the fingernail clippers idea for getting rid of twist ties is a GODDAMN GENIUS

I think the "automorph" is the spring-loaded arm that took me forever to set off the first time but now goes off on its own occasionally

Movie deluxe Arcee. Much taller than scout Arcee. Overall pretty good. Her eyes could have been made bigger though.

Movie Arcee looks better in alt mode, I think. RM Prime seems to fit her well.
