BBTS sent me an email about an hour ago telling me Fansproject Defender is in!! Clicked ship my loot. Hopefully it'll be here by friday.. otherwise I'll have to wait a whole week until I'm back from vacation. I also have Shadow Warrier and the Universe/ROTF Bruticus.. that will probably stay in package until the add on figures/parts from Fansproject come out.

Well, I got my Shadow Warrior and Warbot Defender this morning. Both are pretty cool. Shadow Warrior is so tiny :grin:

I also got the Universe Bruticus Maximus. That will stay in the box until the Fansproject add ons come out.

How's the quality? I don't want to drop $80 for just "pretty cool."

The quality seems fine to me. Nothing is loose. Paint apps are good and joints are tight. when you put the gun in the right hand it's a bit looser than the left, but it's not bad.

Okay, but the plastic is solid? And the die-cast parts aren't like pewter or something?

The plastic is on par with the city commander releases. the diecast doesn't seem like weak metal to me.

I just realized I had Defender's shoulders wrong.. man.. he looks a lot better now :grin:

Shadow warrior is really cool. will probably get the inevitable frenzy(red) and Rumble(blue) repaints. Or at least the Rumble :grin:

Pre-orders are up for Punch/Counterpunch and Shattered Glass Cyclonus! I ordered 1 of each.. In the end I'll probably want two of Punch/counterpunch... but at $59 each, I had to draw the line. Cyclonus is $44.

I can't help it, I have to post another picture. Two things missing. Classics/Universe/Generations Kup and an Autobot symbol on Springer's chest.

Fine, I'll buy one! What, do you work for Fansproject now?

At least you can solve one of your problems with a reprolabels sheet. I'm looking at spending about $300 of my tax return on toys. I totally wanted to avoind doing that this year. Or, at least, I thought about it. For 28 seconds.

Anybody want to go to C2E2? I'm thinking about cruising out there for the day on the Saturday. It's the 17, I think? I'm just looking for some company and someone to split gas and driving with. I'm not entirely certain I'm going to go, but it might be worth it to snag a couple Battle Beasts Minimates promos and the Iron Man 2 exclusives from DST.

WEstland TRU had like 3 Shanghai Showdown sets.

Was able to grab a HA Barricade today from the Target at 7-8 mile.

So whose going to Botcon this summer?

Not me. The last two locations have sucked, but I guess we have had our share of close locations in the mid west so I really can't complain.

If I like the toys I'll just order the non-attending package and pick up the others later. Thankfully I didn't like anything from last year, so money saved

I kind of hope this years will be just as bad so I don't have to worry about them. So far the g2 repainted "thing" from the Inferno mold is meh.

Here's hoping next years location is better :PRAY:

I'm about 80% there. We could at least meet somewhere outside the city and split the $20 parking.

Well, I'm back from a week in Middle of Nowhere, Florida. Didn't see much in the way of toys, but the closest wal-mart was 15 miles from my grandpa's house. I did end up picking up ROTF Scattorshot since the scouts were on sale for $7.00. I grabbed an HA Barricade for myself from the Coldwater Wal-Mart. We stopped at the Buffalo Wild Wings on the way home to watch MSU play Butler. MSU lost, so to make myself feel better, I bought Barricade :grin:

It really is a nice figure. I can't wait for HA Jazz now.
