My Protector armour is in at BBTS..! Went to Target Glenbrook today, they have all the Generations, at least one if not more of each. Had Tomahawk and Terradive in abundance too. TRU was just Animated all over the place, nice timing. WTF? Where's the new stuff..?

Saw a couple Hailstorms at the Meijer on Getz.....never seen them in stores

by **barricade2218** » Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:45 pm

I saw Steamhammer and the Constructicons PCC at WM south today. Nothing else new though. I"m hoping to find the dinobot set myself... Hey everyone, if I'm not back on here again before, Happy Holidays..! Hope you get what you deserve. Ho, Ho, Ho...(I'm the one in the middle..!) LOL

Just played with my Protector set.....ummmm, WOW!

the internet pics and video reviews cant do him more justice than actually having one for yourself!

the overall figure feels so solid and looks incredible, and all the little gripes about the faceplate are meaningless as its such a small in insignificant problem. you only see it when your looking from the side and actually trying to see it. If you slightly bring down the faceplate it fixes it just fine.

I currently have my set on my classics rodimus w/ the henkei inspired gold chromed wing extensions and he looks SUPER BADASS!

these guys never cease to amaze me.

Lemme know what you think Tim....

BTW....Happy Xmas guys!

by **barricade2218** » Wed Dec 22, 2010 9:27 pm

I'm in total agreement, the pics don't do the actual piece justice :APPLAUSE:

. The pieces all fit very well, and that battle station rocks... They've impressed me again. I didn't get Sidearm, kinda wished I would have, now that I saw the plated extensions. Can't wait to see this combiner they're gonna wow us with. Btw, I found Jazz and Tracks at Kohl's out west of all places, tonight while there x-mas shopping. On sale for $9.99 ea. I'm a happy camper too.

I finally got HA Mudflap.

by **barricade2218** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:21 pm

Where..? I see the prices are really coming down on E-bay for him.

News Credits: 1 · by **alh77** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 10:26 pm

Ended up getting him off Amazon for about $47 shipped. I figured I've already spent the extra $18 in gas.

I saw some battle in space 2 packs at walmart apple glen last night. I passed, that roddy just looks like crap.

Either there truly isnt anything too special to post about finding or you all are just as broke as i am after the holidays! :lol:

also not much can compare to the MP roddy coming out this month! :KREMZEEK:

by **barricade2218** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 4:21 pm

Well FFOE you know the situation here. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for the dinobot pcc but other than that, there hasn't been anything new out. I did see the Battle in Space 2 packs at WM too, but passed. Money is tight at the moment anyway, like you said. I'm anxiously awaiting the new waves.

Did you guys see that video review of the new voyager Megatron from DOTM..? Any opinions of his new look..?

I cancelled my PO for the MP Rodimus. :-(

I'm gonna wait till the Hasbro version comes out. I really didn't want the battle station, I just don't have room on the MP shelf for it, and with the FP upgrade, I'm happy with that size better.

I too dont currently have the space but I love the "space Winnebago" look! :lol:

Also, i dont care what people say....Takara MPs are of better quality than Hasbros releases. sorry.

as for DOTM Megs.....meh, I think the toy seems really bland but im very interested how how will look on screen. Transformers are all about change, i LOVE the fact that hes not the typical alt mode. but as for toys from this line, im really hoping we get a really cool leader class shockwave :PRAY:

by **barricade2218** » Thu Jan 13, 2011 9:01 pm

I picked up HA Mudflap off e-bay for $33.00 shipping included. YAY! The collection is now complete..!

News Credits: 3 · by **Fistful of Energon** » Tue Jan 18, 2011 10:32 pm

today I saw a redish dodge caliber w/ all kinds of white faction symbol decals all over it....belong to anyone here?

If so cool ride, let me know if you want to hook it up w/ anything else :grin:

by **barricade2218** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 7:47 am

I haven't seen it, but our Kia Sportage has chromed faction symbols right behind the front wheel wells. I'm surprised by all the positive remarks about them.

HA Mudflap showed up yesterday.

awesome, Id love to check out your ride. If you ever want any other decals, I can do all kinds of custom stuff on a multitude of materials. I really wana do some big faction decals on window perf. I think that would look awesome.

Damn you guys... it's been like a ghost town around here..! Haven't heard much from any of you. I stopped today at Target and WM west but to no avail, nothing new. Target had a **** load of Red Alerts, a few Skullgrins, one Thunderwing, some Jolts and the same old same old. WM had nothing but the BIS two packs and a few older leaders. I should of stopped at Kohls. Anyone seen the PCC Grimstone anywhere..? Bid on a few on E-bay but they are ridiculous for what they are trying to get. Other than that, I am waiting for Kup, Scourge, Perceptor and Wreck-Gar. Missed the Hasbro posting, otherwise I would of got them while they were in stock. Oh well... :BANG_HEAD:

by **Airborne** » Thu Jan 27, 2011 4:42 pm

I've just went ahead and pre-ordered everything I've wanted from BBTS. I've got Lugnut, Scourge, Kup, Wheeljack, and Thundercracker ordered. There's not much going on around here and I'm not really looking forward to many of the DOTM figures. I do wish I was able to go to Botcon, an Animated set would be really cool.

A fellow hunter told me he saw and passed on a few Grimstones at Walmart North I believe. Im holding out for the new classics wave. MP Roddy and Grand Patriot are my big purchases and have set me back a lil for a bit

Did you guys see this..? http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

Gotta have it, especially since I ended up with like three MOC Animated I got at TRU here, plus the one I got off e-bay. LOL

Hey FFOE, did your MP Rodimus show up yet..? Really anxious to hear or see a video review out of you...

Honestly, I think that head is rather fugly and overpriced but thats just my opinion :lol:

BBTS is always farting around when it comes to shipping my preorders, Im pretty sure i was one of the first too as I preordered as soon as it went up (thanks siebertron) and I snagged the original 199.99 price. but yea, im SUPER excited to get him, my guess is Friday or Saturday.

As for a review, I may do a video but not so much a review. was thinking of a "Rodimi" video showing off his many incarnations and saving MP Roddy for last. What do you think?

anyone else excited about the new Thundercats show and toys?? :KREMZEEK:

Im so gonna fall in love with that line i just know it

BTW, was out today and heres what i found...

Target west had nothing new, its becoming sad.

Meijer on getz had a few Dirges, Blurr, WFC Soundwave, Red Alert, Hailstorm and I think a WFC Megs. also a ROTF Elita-1, is she HTF?

Came close to getting a dirge but all of them have the incorrect Decepticon insignia and I already have that one.
