Already disappointed with ratbat before even opening it, with 8ut the back weapons it looks incomplete. As for tape dude I'm just seeing him as a watch dude so I can ignore how bad he is. Used to have a g1 power punch so it's nice to have these even if the weapon mode has to be terrible.

I still need to get that set on the left, along with the space shuttle set.

Reissue Scorponok! Happy to have him: BW Scorponok always seemed a cool toy, but I was not looking forward to paying the aftermarket price for completing an original.

He should have arrived yesterday, but there was evidently some sort of routing hiccup.

Got some stuff in! I don't collect dinosaurs, but had to get it when I saw it on the target app. Huge and greatly articulated for the price.

My 5 pack came in and there was a rattling noise right away. Sadly one of Bumblebees doors came off and was broke. Got a replacement on the way. Hopefully the next one is good.

Wasn't expecting this to be on my porch when I left for work last night, wasn't supposed to show up until Thursday! Gotta give DHL credit for deliveries so speedy Mr. McFeely would be jealous.

When I picked up the box I could hear something rattling around inside, tilting end to end I could hear bits and pieces of something sliding down the length of the box. Fearing the worst I opened it right up and didn't notice anything at first, but a bunch of little shards of clear plastic fell out of the box. Turns out part of the plastic tray at one end of the train completely shattered, I have no idea how it could have done that and to be floating around inside it would have had to have happened after the box was closed. Real mystery that.

At least the figure itself was unharmed

Hmmm. Maybe the box, or at least part of the box, got particularly hot or cold during transit. The insulation tray is acetate, right? For it to shatter, something would have had to happen to make it lose its give.

A mini haul.

From Ebay, I got Select Tigertracks at a good price... if I conveniently ignore the 20$can of shipping.

Plus I just had to get that "Rescue Bots" Megatron. He's asking you to bend over! :lol:

That Megs is stupid simple. To transform, he simply "peekaboo" with his arms and fall on his back. Well, it's effective and fun. Plus the vehicle is cool.

As for Tiger, I now have the urge to collect ALL the Sideswipes. I still miss "G2" Sideswipe from the Soege Alphastrike Counterforce pack. Too bad the only reasonably priced ones are from the UK.
After that it will be Siege Netflix Sideswipe and Red Alert.

Got a good bit of stuff this week so far

News Credits: 42 · by **TF-fan kev777** » Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:52 pm

Got this guy today.

It will be perfect once they finally release SS Last Knight Megs. Hopefully a Leader that will take the best elements of both previous voyager and leader, then improve on the rest.

Awesome! You can never have enough Megs!

Or Grimlock, Shockwave, Hot Rod, Optimus and Soundwave...

Got Tarantulas today fantastic figure. Just give me Inferno and I have all the Predacons

I like displaying Tarantulas with his spider legs back they look good and don't get in the way.

I also got Beast Wars Monopoly on Tuesday

Got a couple things in yesterday. Ratchet is a neat little core figure, I like him. Wreck Gar is chunky and neat, and goes with Junkyard. Scraphook is coming y'all, that a-hole, making me get Wreck Gar to lead his faction.

I have received another new guy, and he is very very cool

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Fri Oct 07, 2022 7:11 am

That classic mold is very flawed, but I just can't deny the genius behind the reversible design.

I'd hardly call it flawed, this thing is really fun and good

I bought it recently and I hate how floppy it is, the transformation is annoying, how the arms are weird, and how that gun in two parts is very troublesome. Not fun at all for me.

Guess I'm just spoiled by the stellar Siege / Earthrise updates.

After 5 years??? I finally got runaround sue.

Big thanks to kapow toys for not scalping the heck out of it and for Takara tomy rereleasing it.

As for my wrestlers I'm just hoping the 40th heman set doesn't have box damage

which looks to have been from factory rather than shipping.

Also this little guy that deserves his own post. Was way overpriced at the time and still remains expensive. I figured he fits my titans return/cybertronian toys better than the titan, except I only know now that they removed the headmaster gimmick from this toy! Which leaves his command deck look lacking in vehicle mode, so I might try to find a spare head bot for him.
I've had the make toys add on for him for awhile so it's nice to finally have him and I'll play around with him and optimus combos for a bit too.
