Botcon prices always seem to drop a few months after the convention, and then spike again as excitement for the next one seems to build. Yeah man, if you want Kup and some Sharkticons, go for it now.

Added Generations Thrust to the rest of my Classic Seekers. Haven't opened it yet, but he looks to need some decals

I got HftD Axor yesterday--he's a great redeco/retool. I think I like him better than NEST Lockdown.

Picked up a Generations Cybertronian Soundwave at my local walmart. The only one that I found. Wanted a Generations Megatron but none in stock...

Also got PCC Icepick w/Chainclaw.

Saw a couple of Red Alerts and Leadfoots.

Also theres this RotF Voyager Skywarp that's still hanging around that no one seems to want. It's had something spilled on the top of the box(bubble area), looks like milk...sorta They've just stuffed it behind all the HftD Voyagers.

Finally got my WST Ultra Magnus in the mail!

He comes with more guns than I was expecting too, including both fat & non-fat versions of the Prime gun. Awesome. Only thing is, I don't recommend attaching the head to the chest plate like the G1 figure can do. Stress marks.

Another fair, another opportunity to splurge. This time is a general sci-fi/fantasy fair, but still my haul is limited to Transformers, despite my other interests. What is up with that? Anyhow:

BWII VS-19 Tonbot vs. Autojetter (only missing Autocrusher now)
Henkei C-15 Inferno
Classics Ramjet (Nice intro to the Generations Coneheads)
Real Gear Robot Booster X10 (loose in a junker bin, poor guy)

I saw plenty of other stuff, but my heart skipped I saw two gems: a Power Rangers Zeo Megazord and Super Zeo Megazord. Stupid me, I saw them after my TF shopping and I was on a tight budget... O well, next time.

Sun Oct 24, 2010 5:15 pm

Recent purchases include:
HftD Hailstorm
HftD Sidearm Sideswipe
Generations Red Alert
Generations Darkmount
Generations Cybertronian Megatron

Still looking for Soundwave, and I needs my Breacher!!!!!!!!!!

A complete load of babes in my latest acquisitions:

Another Cybertron Override (Female in the US, at least). Combined some part of my junker with it to make it quite nice and fixed the left leg joint problem.

Cybertron Thunderblast (Thanks, Abraxis)

Botcon 2005 Chromia. Got at a steal for $25 (including shipping) still in the bag on eBay!

Went down to Bellingham over the weekend and was happy to find the TRU Express opened up in Bellis Fair Mall. The luckiest part was I found WFC Soundwave! There were 2 Red Alerts, but I passed. Also got Animated Snarl so I can work on finishing the Dinobots.

Also picked up some RC items, Hot Wheels Stealth Rides Power Tread Green Version, Air Hogs Bell 222 Blue Version (for a gift), and Air Hogs Pocket Copter Black Version. Awesome!

I got the stealth rides Batmobile. They're fun little cars ain't they? It would be totally cool if we could get TF cars done like that.

Oh yeah, that would be pretty awesome.

The Power Tread versions are very slow, being they're built and geared for climbing over stuff. Do you collect other RC toys? How fast would you say the Batmobile is compared to say... Terrain Titans or even Zip Zaps? I want to get one of the Stealth Ride racing cars too, but if it's a lot slower than my other stuff I probably won't have a lot of fun with it. The Power Tread is okay because it's a tank.

This is the first RC car I got ever so I can't judge. I think it uses the same base model of the tank.

Oh darn. I thought I saw a Youtube video that showed the Batmobile being faster than the tank... Oh well, I'll find out somehow, thanks anyway.

Generations Darkmount
Generations Dirge
Generations Thrust

Had to go to Walmart for Darkmount, as Target hasn't had any Wave 2 since I first saw them. Walmart's Transformers are ridiculous, though, as they have two dozen (I counted them) RotF figures still warming the pegs.
