Ooh, very nice!

I too have added to my Titans Return collection:

Chromedome, complete with packaging. Now I have the TR versions of all the 1987 Headmasters.

I got SS Brawn, Wheeljack and Ratchet in last week and Perceptor in this week. This was a really good wave of deluxes.

...I just noticed that TR Chromedome's art uses Breakaway/Getaway's head.

And apparently some wires were crossed with regards to this on TFWiki, because Getaway's page is saying that TR Breakaway's art has a Chromedome-based head when in fact it's Chromedome's art that has a Getaway-based head. A different one from that on the Breakaway art (which is absolutely Getaway-based as seen from it having Getaway's forehead crest instead of Chromedome's ridge, Getaway's cheek vents, and Getaway's antennae instead of Chromedome's upper side vents), even. Can somebody please fix this? Chromedome's own page has things right.

From Walmart online I got the SS Bee Ravage and the vintage reissue BW Scorponok. Scorpy is pretty damn expensive at 62$can plus taxes, but for a leader-ish Transformers, it's to be expected. Still better than having to get the original at 200$+ off ebay.

Also, I got some Chinese original. I'll create a thread for it in due time.

My core Hot Rod arrived, and I secured a B-127

Continuing my splurge on Titans Return. I absolutely love this leader class mold for Blaster and Soundwave. I'm looking forward to the base modes since I love base building. Once I get Powermaster Prime I'll have all the leader class from the line and I'll set it all up.
I'm pleasantly surprised by the legends class tablets. They're pretty cool looking, especially the little tank mode for Rumble and Rewind.
Topped it off with some Titan Masters.

Yeah they're pretty cool molds. I never got the leaders because I'm kind of a stickler for scale, but I do have Frenzy and Rewind and they're pretty good.

I have an incomplete vintage BW Optimus Primal. It was good enough until I found the Walmart reissue on clearance (in can$):

At that price, it's a GET!

Might want to get your hands on Magnus Prime (unless you already have LG35 Super Ginrai?) instead of the regular PMOP. Costlier, but has the Godbomber compatibility (and Godbomber also fits into the base building play pattern, so..) and offers an extra seat-gun to the mix over standard PMOP. You're going to want to apply floor polish to the inside of the fistholes if you get him, though - his are molded slightly too big, just like PotP Rodimus Prime.

The TR Blaster mold has easily the best base mode of the TR Leader bunch IMO. Not surprising, really, given the boxy altmode and it being made with a base mode in mind from the beginning.

With really nothing of interest in the 2022 mainline Transformers, I wanted to see if I could cross off any of the pricier items on my bucket list. Indeed I have! One that I thought I'd never have- Botcon 2016 Flash Sentry! It was also the least expensive I've ever seen it, so that adds to the feeling of accomplishment. I was originally going to compare it to Haslab Unicron (because aftermarket price was about the same as Unicron's original backing price on Hasbro), but I was able to get mine for a bit less. For most fans, it is insignificant. But for me, an absolute CW completist, I very much wanted it.

With Haslab Unicron, there are a little more than 8000 in existence, whereas with Flash Sentry, there are only 100 in all the world. That's all there ever will be; and I can say I have one. 8-)

Congrats!

I'd feel the same about getting my hands on the freaking Cobybot.

Secured myself the 3 Bee movie deluxes. They are pretty good.

I'm just having so much Titans Return fun! Powermaster Prime, Broadside, Stripes, and Sawback!

Went streaking today.

It was a success.

Couldn't resist, could you?

Nice find. He's the only one I'm missing besides Skids, who's on preorder.

For some reason I found it odd that the Legacy stamp is on a Buzzworthy box.

I'm guessing they might have already made the switch from the WFC shaped boxes to the Legacy shaped ones, which kind of forced their hand.
