Yeah, my Impactor 2-pack is also on the way. I'll have to check back with Target about their new releases this coming week.

I got myself an oldie but goodie: Generations Kup, which will be by Cyberverse Kup. I also got Last Bot Standing #3, and a new Puppy, so it was a good weekend.

Well since I've been hearing such warm reviews for Legacy G2 Jihaxius, and I'm only somewhat familiar ER with him in the IDW stuff as Shockwaves mentor, it's gotten me real curious about the original!

I love 90s comic stuff so am excited to dig into these (Plus that lone G1 issue)

That G1 issue 18 is 1 of my favorites. It's definitely in the top 5, both story and cover-wise. But it's only the 2nd half of the story, you also need issue 17 to get the whole idea.

As for the G2 issues, it's worth tracking down the rest of the issues or finding the TPBs. That story flows pretty well, you should start at the beginning. Actually, the real beginning starts in G.I.Joe #138, where Megatron and Starscream attack Cobra's castle. Explains how Megatron gets his G2 body.

And D-Max, that's a beautiful puppy. I hope it was a rescue or from a friend's litter and not a pet store or a breeder.

On my end I shipped a Pile of Loot that had a lot of stuff in it, but the only Transformer was Selects Guard.

She and my other doggie have an Optimus Prime for themselves, i think they will be fine

She came from a high school friend with puppies, she's going to have a nice home here.

As for your POL, mine should be here tomorrow, just shipped it last week myself. Gonna have some Transformers in it too

So after seeing both Origins Bee and Silverstreak both drop tut o 50% off clearance in the past few months, I was determined to wait out clearance or at least a sale for Toyorsaur. Then I saw a fresh case being put out and my lack of willpower took over.

Are you getting a prime dog toy for the puppy?

This is more of a birthday haul. (The reason I've been of for a few days is a long story, I'd rather not explain.)
First present was a Stud ser 86 Blurr. Leaps and bounds better than tr. Looks good, feels good, fun transformation, excellent articulation. I will defend it to my death, why does everyone hate it?

Next, a cw g2 bruticus ko set. AWESOME! My first combiner and my first ko. I'm opening a figure a day. Swindle was loads of fun, but brawl is another story. Attaching the turret was scary. Cant figure out the torso. I think I see how it tabs in for robot mode, but I'm deathly afraid of snapping the figure in half.

I bough laser prime on Ebay ($10 off!). He's already arrived, but I will open him when I open all my combaticons. I'm sure he'll be fun.

More information on everything in my collection page, and other respective pages. If you have anything to say about brawls torso, or how to peg it in, please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, and God bless.

My BBTS POL arrived, as did a couple of individual packages. Got some great stuff in here, really good haul in my eyes.

Banzaitron is a pleasant surprise, Shockwave about what I expected. the Hammond Collection Rexy is definitely the best thing in the whole haul, she is great. Atlas Destroyer is also really strong, probably the 2nd best thing in the group. Yelena is finally here, as is Storm. Cobb Vanth looks great. Sixknight is here to go with my Wreckers once I slap a good bot symbol on him. Darwin and Maggot are both solid figures too, I adore Maggot, Eanie, and Meanie.

Somebody has got to teach these kids how to WRECK!

This is super cool, but....

It's in the wrong thread.

This thread is for official Hasbro/Takara Transformers only (with exception given to any other officially licensed product like Flame Toys and Super7)

Stuff like this needs to be posted on the haul thread in the 3rd party forum.

Forgot to post this yesterday.

I had to import SS Bee-Arcee and SS Galvatron from the USA via Amazon.com.

The irony is that counting shipping and taxes, I just paid 2$ more than if I bought them locally at full price.
And I mean, NOT at Toys R Us.

Hav I had bought them at my local Toys rUs, I would have had to pay around 20$ more.

How's the arcee? I'm looking for a good arcee. But I'll probably just wait till the legacy gets cast in pink with a G1 head.

All right. Tell me what you think when you get there.

It's also the wrong thread since they aren't 3rd party.

I'll be surprised if they actually make that since Prime Arcee with her normal head in pink is already a thing. If they ever do the Legacy figure in pink it'll probably have the normal head. Plus the production sketches that we were shown only showed Road Rocket and possibly Axer as potential extra heads tied to the mold.

As for me, got Legacy Jhiaxus from Deep Discount (still no issue with them, they pack their boxes way better than Amazon, too) and Wrecker Impactor with his bone clone.

My wife sent me to Target for milk, and made the mistake of not telling me not to impulse buy a cog and a titan.
