Got a nice little haul today.

First from Amazon.ca, SS86 Gnaw.

Then from Kijiji (local classifieds) and after a 2 miles walk, RiD Stormjet and Movie Jungle Bonecrusher. Both sealed and 25$can each!

Niiiiiiice! I very nearly bought Jungle Bonecrusher as a kid- I heard he has some mold issues compared to the original, which is a shame as I love the colours. And Storm Jet looks awesome too! Always loved how that mold looks.

Storm Jet will be my RiD "Jetfire". As for Jungle Bonecrusher, this will be part of a X-Mass gift for my friend. He once had one missing an arm and he gave it to me until I got a part to repair it. 3 years later, I guess the job is done! :lol:

I made a trade with my friend and I got Select Zetar! He's a neat little guy.

Then at Walmart, I finally caved in for Cyberverse Clobber. She was on sale at 5$CAN off. Not the greatest sale, but better than nothing.

Made use of the current Target Circle deal of $10 off $50 and $25 off $100 worth of toys and picked up two of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee twin packs (the Dropkick and Stinger sets) and Cyberverse Ramjet for only about $80. Would have liked to have used it on the Worlds Collide set, but that's not likely to happen, my last shot is Friday.

Also finally got my Roadrage in the mail from Target.com, not looking forward to opening it...

Worse than Tracks seems to be the growing consensus.

Thanks, Will, for helping me out getting OG Bee and Select G2 Ramjet! ;)^

4 hours to go before I'm getting rid of my old vintage Bruticus. It was in bad shape and was just not fun to fiddle with. Getting a replacement was way too expensive and the risks of landing a K.O are too high. The G2 version is lovely, but a 100% complete one is extremely rare and is even more expensive than the G1 original. As for R.I.D Ruination, it was just "meh". So, what is the best alternative?

The UNIVERSE RUINATION SET of course! :michaelbay:

The deco is absolutely gorgeous in vehicle mode. I love that all members are the same colors. Plus the set is 100% complete and I could get it for only 85$US plus cheap shipping!

There was a few

missing for my tastes so I added a few Repros.

Compared to the vintage original, I have no fear transforming and playing with this version. So smooth! Was that the last release of the Bruticus mold?

Combined mode is pretty stable and I love the fact that I can pretty much plug almost everything on the giant bot. Too bad the ramp can't act as a shield.

I think Universe Ruination go very well with G2 Devastator. He'll be my "G1 Bruticus" from now on.

Your G1 Bruticus set did well enough on e-bay, congrats!

Here is my haul, kinda fearful after all that criticism

Well, I sold it for literally what I paid. Unfortunately, the eBay fee will give me a small loss. Still, it could have been worse.

Good luck with that Tracks. I hope you haven't paid full price for it.

Dont know if you remember but Kingdom took a looooooong time getting to Canada. Wave 2 was the first wave of deluxes found in the wild for me and they werent on the Walmart systems. A (disciunted) Earthrise Arcee was still on shelves so that was used as the price for Kingdom Arcee. I kept that Arcee as trade fodder fir wgen Tousrus gets a deluxe I'd want at non full price and today was the day.

Found Waspinator and Shadow Panther at Target today, had $20 in Circle credit so I basically got one of them free. Then minutes after I left the store I got emails from Pulse saying they're both shipping soon. :lol:

Thankfully I still had time to cancel.

Forgot to mention I got my SS battle damaged Megatron last weekend from Target.com.

No, people have been finding those two in stores for a while now. I got mine from Target back in late September and posted them a few pages back here, and I distinctly recall not being the first user here to do so.

AT LAST!

Kingdom Agent Ravage!

I also found K. Rhinox at my local TrU.

Today was a good day indeed!

Nice score Kan; i just got in my order on Pulse for Ravage.
I will be interested in what you think once, if, you crack it open.

SG Goldbug was waiting on my porch for me yesterday morning when I got back from some errands. I also found a fixed shoulders Galvatron at Target this morning who will replace my original one.

Rhinox is fine, the bot mode is nice but the transformation is a real pain in the afterburner. Probably won't ever transform him again.

Rosanna (or is it Flip Sides?) is better, but I'm probably gonna have to exchange it for a new one at BBTS since she's got some unsightly color bleeding originating from her red arms.

I thought the same thing originally. But after the second or third transformation, it wasn't as frustrating and even got to the point of being enjoyable, for me at least.
