I went to my local geek store and I didn't find anything that struck my fancy until I saw a GDO Megatron. The very same, complete with Reprolabels, that I left to this store for some store credits years ago! It was time to bring back that old friend home.

As I came back, there was Toxitron waiting for me from Walmart.ca.

Did you get the fins with that Dark Crumplezone?

Which fins?

O dear... Dark Crumplezone is supposed to come with two fins that attach close to the rear wheels:

Transformers Cybertron Dark Crumplezone (Arm Bullet) Gallery

Unfortunately, they come detached in the box, and not in the usual baggie with missiles etc. As a result, a lot of people unknowingly tossed them with the box. *shudders*

How is Neme Leo?? I skipped on normal Leo Prime bc it didn't interest me/ looked derpy, but the the black repainted just CALLS to me! Only concern is all the lion limbs n junk hanging around in robot mode, does it get in the way much?

Nah, he's not so bad plus the lion got the goofiest face ever with his square teeth and googly eyes.
I really adore the concept because you go from goofy beast to a BAD-ASS evil robot.
Plus his kibbles does not hamper any poses.

Anything is way sexier in teal and black. Go for it! ;)^

Agreed, he's nice! The bot mode is what really makes it great and the color is super sexy.

After some hunting and a bit of searching, I picked up Legacy BW Predacon Inferno today at Walmart, finally happy to have him. Been sorta wanting a BW Inferno since I had picked up Transmetal Scavenger way back when.

It's been a very busy last 2 days

Dear Amazon. I will not wait for October, thank you very much.

My local geek store had some new SS in store. I skipped on Gamer Cliffjumper (I hate that mold) but SS86 Brawn and SS Gamer Megs sure will come home!

I'll share some pictures later in their threads.

Got all of the G2 Legacy figures from Hasbro Pulse (aside from Grimlock) over the last two days. Glad I don't have to hunt these down, though the double packed Deluxe figures are probably going to be very easy to find in stores.

New pickups!

2007 Payload is such a fun figure! The claw gimmick is hilarious xD

Glad to finally have Rampage too! Really looking forward to painting him up!

The Go-Bot is Royal T, which I picked up since my Dad had one when he was growing up! It’s actually a really cool little figure

GT number 2 in the house

MyFigureCollection.net collection · by **Emerje** » Sun Jul 30, 2023 7:48 pm

Those GTR figures are nice, but man do I hate the arms on them, they're so short and don't really pose well. I have Prime, that was enough for me (helps I got him for free as a review sample).

Myself I finally got Core Dinobots Swoop and Skarr from Amazon while they were $10. They weren't given release dates as they were out of stock when I ordered them early last week so I was surprised to get "arriving tomorrow" notices Friday.

The fact that the girls are not in scale with the vehicles nag me to no end. They'd be a better fit with Binaltechs/Alternators.

I finished the Toxitron collection today

by **Galvatronus Prime** » Thu Aug 03, 2023 6:06 pm

Picked up (in store :shock:

) G2 Mirage and Crosscut. Also got RoTB SS Cheetor and Battletrap online.

Got the red VNR 300 Optimus Prime from Pulse today. Nope, I'm an idiot, it was the War Dawn set, Prime is supposed to be here by Monday.

From Amazon.ca, my Legacy Shockwave and Orion Pax set.

Now that I have both, I no longer have to worry about any mix-up and I can finally open both.

Finally got a Tow-Line at Target this morning. Word of advice, look everywhere! These have a spot with a tag assigned in the main aisle endcap with the other Target Exclusives, but for whatever reason they decided to put them on the back clearance endcap, at full price of course.
