Animated Leader Class Megatron. Mine does he put the voyager version to shame!

Animated Wreck-Gar. This guy was hillarious to me in the series and i had to have him when i saw it available!

Looks like i need about 3 more figures in the Animated Series and i should have 1 representation of all the characters currently avialable. Cant wait for that next wave to come! :grin:

ROTF Scouts REVERB and DUNE RUNNER and Voyager STRATOSPHERE. Very happy with my Stratosphere but not with the 2 scouts I got especially Dune Runner (Can't get his vehicle form transformed properly..).

Just recieved my boxed rid/car robots valdigus set. Much better looking than ruination!

Mine just won't peg together properly either. I'm pretty disappointed in him... :-(

Universe Voyager Tread Bolt

This purchase was hard to resist. The price was already marked down to less than 50% of its original sticker price. Plus I got another 10% off on top of the discounted price. I've had an eye on this piece for a while, waiting for the right moment to buy it. I guess today was the day.

07 Movie Stockade! I actually received this yesterday but only opened it up late last night.

I really like the figure! It's straight forward, nothing groundbreaking in Transformers toy design, but it's a solid figure. I love the proportions. I don't mind the vehicle kibble too much in bot mode, it adds to the bulk and presence of the figure. I really like how the kibble folds up on its back. The punching gimmick isn't too bad either. I like how I can extend its arms a bit. Overall, a cool figure.

Expensive day again :-(

Universe Hardhead
Universe Skyfall
Universe Powerglide
Fury of Fearswoop
Gathering at the Nemesis

Also, my Chrome Horn Forrest Type MOSC for $8 arrived. Yeah for me!

Still no Back Road Brawl or Reissues at TRU, and Target's been dry for both Straightaway Shootout and Fallen on Fire. I hope to get to Sam's Club for Autobot Strike Mission this weekend, too. I'm torn on whether to go to the effort to track down a Costco for the Surface to Air Showdown.

G1 Ratchet - had the cheap Mexican import with the last 20 years and his arm constantly falls off. Having gotten the custom clip on head on Ebay, I felt a new Ratchet would look better since the old one has yellowed and flaked a lot in the last 20 years.

G1 Snapdragon - one of my first TF's, sadly, his wing hinge had broken. Since I already had all of his accessories, I felt it time for a newer one. Considering he hasn't been reissued, I'm amazed at how well preserved the one I got is. I don't remember my old one being that stiff when he was new out of the box.

G1 Runamuck - bought Runabout not so long ago. The clips on my originals for holding them in car mode did not stand the test of time.

G1 Prowl's rifle - Can't believe it's 7 years since I bought reissue Prowl and got back into collecting. He hasn't lasted well. Surprising considering my TF's aren't really played with. I have TF's that are over 20 years old that have endured significantly better. I've already bought him new door and his rifle snapped.

G1 Galvatron's rifle - Mysteriously disappeared and considering how well i kept most of my 200 TF's from my childhood, mysterious indeed. After 22 years, Galvatron finally has his rifle back. He and Outback were my first TF's. Looking at the rifle and Outback now, I still find it amusing tha Galvatron's rifle is bigger than the Autobot. Me and my brothers first Decepticons were galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge and the Autobots were all minis and Throttlebots. Boy did they cheer when my brother got Rodimus Prime. Until of course they saw Galvatron tower over him. :lol:

Picked up RotF Ejector and the TFU War of the Waves pack. Very odd that it's in a TFU box, marked "Cybertron Series", yet the two toys have Sector 7 markings

Picked up Warriors From 3 Worlds. Repugnus might end up on the smaller scaled Classics shelf.

Different Repugnus. The one from Warriors of Three Worlds is a straight repackage of Cybertron Repugnus, which is a repaint of Cybetron Undermine, a Spinosaurus-type creature.

Univerese Repugnus is a repaint of Beast Wars Buzzclaw.

Woohoo, good catch for you. :3 Personally, I never cared much for when they started veering away from realistic vehicles into those odd, brightly colored shapes and blocks they called futuristic cars. xD

both great nods to the g1 repugnus. i just think the universe one fits better for the sparkbot.
