That one is Swelter, and he is awesome. Everything about him looks cool!

Also, a package from a certain Autobot N just registered as being in my mailroom

I do what I can.

How much was that RID battle pack? I find I like those better than the warriors. I was just at Target and saw some but didn't notice a sale. I'll price check one next time.

Alt SS looks awesome. I'll have to get one next time out. I enjoy playing with Prowl. The AMs are getting a really good line up. I'm kinda afraid if I get other it may just snow ball on me.

And, what does one pay for a bag o sheet anyway?

I'm grateful for your finds. You have helped get me some new minis and really start loving those alto modes. I can see why you're afraid: there is a very present danger of snowball effect.

They price matched Amazon down to $12.40 for me, so it wasn't a store sale. They really are quite good. I have Grim and Swipe and both are class.

That whole bag of Sheetz was free. They give you random free stuff every 2 weeks or so and you can do the whole "buy x get 1 free" thing. That was a footlong chicken tender sub (like, 3 large tenders per half) with some accessories. It normally is $9, but that's why I wait to get it till I have a free one. I usually get the footlong $4 meatball one. Quite good.

A purchase from a certain N:

Definitely prefer that version over the Combiners Wars version.

He is pretty awesome. Still trying to figure out the legs properly for jet mode, but he is awesome. And He and Tailgate look good together.

Gonna have to do a double date picture with those 2 and Domewind

Yeah, those were always a hassle.

I did find one quirk to the mold that I'm really not liking (and it is the only thing not to like here): no forearm swivel. I can't do a hands on hips pose, and I really want to

Huh. With the way the arms transform, I would have thought that there was one.

Not forearm, I meant Bicep swivel. His forearm can rotate good, but I can't get him to pose akimbo... unless I am really missing something

No you're not missing anything, there is no bicep swivel. Which sucks since that's the only flaw that figure has in my opinion but it's a big flaw.

I'm actually very happy with my version and I don't want to spend some money on a 3P of something I already have and like

That skit cracked me up!

I need to clear off my desk so I can acutally get some quality stuff going. I have an idea for my own skit.

I got really lucky finding that one at Walmart. Was really surprised to find him too, especially since Kickback was already gone. Should've got the legion Springload that night too. Can't find him now

2 days after receiving Wave 3 Legends from BBTS, I found a second Gnaw at Walmertz. They had a Bee too but no Kickback. Gotta say, as cool and cute and gnawsome as Gnaw is, I think Kickback is the real winner of this wave's Legends.

I've no interest in Kickback, but that's what I've been hearing too. Gnaw's robot mode kills his potential for best, and Kickback does seem to be an awesome figure!

No interest?! Whycause? Not after a set of Insecticons? Do you have the others?
I mean it's fine. I'm just curious.

I never really had a liking for the insections. I didn't get any of the others and the only one I do have is FoC Kickback, who was a present.

I'm not sure why I don't like them much, I just have no interest.
