Not a bad week's haul. I'm thinking about slowing down on the collecting. After I find TFA Jetstorm/fire, I don't see too much in the future that I want (TFA Waspinator, TFU Dinobot, and Henkei Hotshot aside). Space is becoming a pretty big issue in my apartment and my girlfriend is only willing to put up with so many figures before she starts nagging. Geez, I can't wait to get a two bedroom apt in a few months...

lol, I know what you mean, my girlfriend's been on my case these past few months, mostly because the collection's taking up a lot of space. I'm mostly caught up on what's released in Canada so far anyway, and I expect a lull when the movie comes around. We're hopefully moving this year too.

My 2 Henkei Hounds came on Friday... Too bad I was so busy that day that I left them at work!!

Just picked up Cyclonus today from Walmart... Can't wait to open him.
Saw SS, Cheetor, Hound, and a couple of the newer repaint Voyagers too.
Oh, and Animated Blurr and Swindle... I may pick up Swindle eventually, but can wait for a couple weeks on him.

Well, time to free Cyclonus.

Found the Animated Jetstorm/fire at my local Target. They're great figures and I'm glad I bought them. I also bought a Shadow Blade Megatron from Walmart for my little cousin.

It's been a while since I bought any Transformers of note, so I figured it was time to spoil myself, and indeed I've done that!

Jet twins from Wal mart in Hagerstown, Maryland.

Rant Mode On-
These are not the best TF:A figures ever. Not even close. So far, I've enjoyed almost every Animated figure I've bought (have them all, minus Skywarp), but these twins make me feel like I wasted my money. Aesthetics were sacrificed for the stupid combiner gimmick, which in itself is a fail. The Safeguard mode is no bigger than the individual parts, and even a touch uglier, if that's possible. The joke of a combined jet-mode is almost insulting and seems like an afterthought.
The kicker are all of the visible screws and stamping in robot modes. Makes them look cheap, or at least poorly designed.
Sorry to be so negative about these figures, because I really am a fan of TF:A. It's just that in this one case, I feel totally let down.
