.....and he was missing a finger.

Well hopefully BBTS will hook you up with a replacement or are they just gonna give you the finger?

Honestly, while annoying, it's not a big enough deal for me to worry about.

Got a box in the mail from Target today containing Bumblebee Movie Soundwave and the tape set. I was on the fence about getting this since I don't really need a second Soundwave and at this point Rumble is now way out of my budget, but for $58 together after tax thanks to Cyber Monday BOGO 50% off and extra 15% off all orders. How could I resist?

Also picked up a second Repugnus off Amazon while they were on sale, but I'll be honest I didn't buy it to keep and I was going to pick one up anyway. I'm using it to cheat the system as my first one broke unexplainably shortly after the return date was up. One of his fangs/mandibles/whatever just fell off for no reason sitting on my desk. I'm guessing it was already cracked thanks to them shipping them out in freak'n padded envelopes so I'll just send the broken one back and ask for a refund.

Scooped this guy up at Ross on Saturday. Only one there. Bunch of Bees and Strafes, but only 1 Crosshairs. He is definitely a big improvement over the original, I really like this new one!



And then, this arrived this morning. Time to build and Bumblebee it up!

I just realized I've been lacking in making my recent hauls photo-official here, so here are my hauls from the last 2 weeks.

First up Siege Battle Masters - I like all 3 for what they are. I found them a few days before Thanksgiving.

Next up were the Siege Micromasters - Same comments as above for the Battle Masters except I found these the day before Thanksgiving. I was thankful.

Next up was body parts from BBTS that arrived last week. Guns and elbows for Constructicons and an arm for Megascream. At the time I bought it, Golden screamer would have completed my last combiner with just an extra torso left over.

Then of course, I found this on ebay for a good deal (and the Select Series was announced) and now I've resigned myself that as soon as I think my combiners are complete, Hasbro (or a deal on ebay) will give me another combiner part. And I'm okay with that.

Last but not least, I finally found the Siege deluxes between Friday, Saturday and Monday. Loving them all so far.

Nothing big, got a PotP Outback off Amazon since they're under $6 right now. Only two figures left to finish the line (excluding Skrapnel, I'm not getting him a second time).

Got some money as a holiday gift from a relative, picked up Moonracer and Blackwing.

[Rainmaker]

Picked up TLK Bumblebee, Sqweeks, Drift and Crosshairs at Toyworld on clearance for only 20 AUD! Also got SS DotM Ratchet and AoE Shadow Raider at Target on a 20% off sale, I love them all however Bumblebee can't transform due to a piece of plastic on one of his leg's that stops the hip piece from moving into its transformation configuration. But I will be getting the SS Bumblebee Then and Now 2-pack.



On top of that, I ordered the recent Bumblebee G1 reissue which was an online exclusive here at Cotton:On (A clothes store, don't ask me why) I should've jumped on them as soon as they came out because Bumblebee was the only mini-bot left. It feels so weird to play with a G1 Bumblebee that isn't loose.

[Hip-Hoptimus Rime]

Bought Old Soldiers OS-02 Detective, aka MP Hound, for $40 on BBTS. I. Love. This. Guy.

IMG_20181206_125513786[1].jpg

Sorry for the crappy background, just wanted to get this up. I love how he scales with Alternators Hound. It's interesting how they both carry their spare tire on their leg in robot mode.

[Bucky]

Huh. Looks like I wasn’t the only one to suddenly pick up a TLK Crosshairs. Never got his previous AoE toy. I mostly got him just to round out my movie cast. His very saturated green helps him pop. Bot mode is fine. Alt mode is nice and tight.

I absolutely love Ratchet (favorite Autobot), and I love his first SS figure, so I don’t mind double dipping on the mold at all. The neon green is awesome, and I love that he comes with a gun, instead of that buzzsaw shield.

Finally picked up RtS ‘Bee. He’s a dandy little guy. Real simple, and nice and stout.

I also picked up a few more packs of cards and found a wild Optimal Optimus at Target by chance. I’m looking forward to grabbing the DNA upgrade (although I wish it came with the hands that the upgrade of the Throne of Primes version has), but even without it, he’s much better than I was expecting. I’m so glad I picked him up. Though that pin for the little primal’s backpack definitely had to go.

Most recent hauls.

'Daking is in da house thanks to a nice Cyber Monday sale on da 'Zon.

And these little fellas were finally found today.



Predaking likes the little puppy!

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Remember that box I showed last week? I am now allowed to show what's in it:

AmazonHaul5.jpg

With a little extra I found at Family Dollar:

SintHaul.jpg

Prime Wars Punch/Counterpunch
Prime Wars Dastard & Repungus
Power of the Primes Autobot Novastar

Novastar and Repugnus are good, and Punch... blast my eye for detail being drawn to a nick in the middle of Punch's face

[Emerje]

That's too bad, Punch/Counterpunch is such a great figure, too.

As for me I just got my discounted HTS Siege Micromasters dropped off by FedEx. Gotta love speedy east coast deliveries from HTS.

I got a big box yesterday, technically the first TF delivered to the new house (even though I had to then pick it up from the Post Office).

POTP Predaking, at least that's what I'm assuming is in the box. Haven't had a chance to open it.

[Zeedust]

Went out looking for Dreadwind, came back with Bludgeon and PotP Grimlock instead.

Honestly, the Authentics figure probably makes a better Grimlock in a vacuum (and doesn't have these damn stickers), but Volcanicus looks like it'll make up for figure's shortcomings (and I kinda love vcombiners).

[nycPrime]

Been a while since I last posted. Just received a shipment from HTS. Good news is I got a great deal on some Siege deluxes for less than $10 each (Hound and Flywheels). Bad news is they screwed up my order and I'm missing Cog, the one I wanted the most. They sent me 2 Hounds instead.

I also got my POTP Predaking recently. Love the figure. Also received Elita 1 and Moonracer not long ago but those are still in box.

[MechaMan Blade]

Just got my first two Botbots today at my local Walmart.

[wilcosu35]

I've got a box

[Rogue-Primal]

Got a double score. Toy'R'us had a 50% off deal on everything. I picked up a Blue Slipstream (Weaponizer cannon) and Divebomb (Wave 1 deployer)

original price was 2699 (approximately 22 USD) now 600 a piece. and Divebombs Pistol work great for a Ion Blaster for Bumblebee Movie Legends Optimus (his hands can only use really long handles)

[Emerje]

Dark purple MP Shockwave came in today from TFSource along with my MP Shadow Panther, it took this long for me to order something big enough to ship it for free. Just glad it hadn't gone down drastically in price while I waited.
