First Post
First post had to be a TF toy haul. 
1) '74 Bumblebee @ Walmart
First TF toy since my G1's from my childhood 20+ years ago. Found him hiding in a pile of Starwars figs. First and only Deluxe BB I was to see for many moons...
2) Leader Prime also @ Wally
3 & 4) Ironhide & Starscream - Voyager Class @ TRU
Went for weeks staring at nothing but shelf warmers @ Wallyworld, Target, & TRU.
Passed up Voyager Prime and Meg because already had Prime and Meg with ice crystals looks really dumb.
Then I read about the secret stash @ Kohls here on Seibertron so I stopped in for a peek. WOW! Multiples of every movie deluxe I could ever want overflowing the pegs, and laying about on the floor. Like I stepped into worm hole and reappeared far far away from the world of TF toy madness.
Walked out with '08 BB, Arcee and Barricade, and legions of soccer moms & teenage/20-something girls glaring at me as if I was some child molester or something. Apparently they don't see adult toy collectors at Kohls very often.
Thanks for helping me feel like a kid again, Seibertron. Great board!

Here's my haul of the week-end. I got those at my local Toysrus. I'm quite happy that I was able to pay regular price for Classics Starscream. The sucker is now up to $40 online. Ridiculous... Also got my favorite from the Classics line, Jetfire(skyfire)! And finally, I got my hands on a Alternators Camshaft. Not the best, but not the wrost. Overall, I'm very happy.

Finally got a Classics Starscream for only $20 (courtesy of someone on another board). Screamer looks better in person than he does in pictures, I don't mind the paint job too much, except for the face.

Loud??


I already have a Skywarp, but I like him enough that I wouldn't want to switch faces. I doubt I'd be able to find another Skywarp easily, I can just live with Starscream's face how it is.

Went to Wal-Mart, saw it stocked with Classics stuff, ended up nabbing a Jetfire.
Will go back tomorrow to pick up a 20th Anniv Prime.
There was also an Alternators Sunstreaker there. Should I have gotten it?

my first haul in ages, only because they were 50% off...
Haven't opened any yet, they're my reward for when I finish this awful translation contract I'm working on now...
So glad I was able to finally get High Score, it was refreshing to see some new figures in stock for once, the first new stuff I've seen since the movie toys came out in early June...

Not to toy, but...the OOP 1st Season of Beast Wars from Rhino. After so many years, I had forgotten just how awesome this show was....

Well I wasn't going to buy any more TFs until I get paid next week, but I Was checking out my local TRU to see if the got any of the new movie figures in (they didn't BTW) and ended up walking away with two new Transformers.
I got myself the Classics Mirage, I was totally blown away by how awesome he is, I can't believe I was going to pass on him. I also got the Movie Bonecrusher, another great figure in my opinion. I love how this guy looks in both vehicle and bot mode.
I don't know if this is the place to ask this, but I will anyway. I've noticed that my local shops have not been getting in new Classics toys. I was wondering if the classics are a limited edition type thing and if I should give up on finding classics Bumblebee, Megatron and Hot Rod (Rodimus, what ever) in stores?

Well i went to WalMart tonight expecting to find some new movie transformers, but ending up finding a little of the movie line and the classics line.
Picked Up:
Classics Rodimus
Classics Cliffjumper
Classics Grimlock
Classics Ramjet x3 only showing one in picture
Movie Voyager Ironhide
Movie Voyager Starscream
All in All I'd say a pretty good haul. Now if i can just get longarm, and Arcee i'll quit buying Transformers for a few months!! Maybe!!

I think they are still available in some wal-marts and are going to be available in Europe next month.
