The optional decepticon faction symbols with cyclonus will likely go on both of their chests to make them more uniform and cover up galvatron weird color symbol. Kinda makes me want a purple scourge even if he was never that color.

I have toy colors Cyclonus and SS86 Scourge on my comic shelf along with Selects Galvatron representing their Marvel comics versions. Legacy Galvatron, Kingdom Cyclonus and SS86 Sweep represent the animated versions.

Great haul over the last couple weeks. All fantastic figures. Junkheap was down to $23.99 from another seller on Amazon, and I actually found dragon Megs in store at Target! Tarn and Breakdown were back in stock on Pulse thankfully. Just need Motormaster to complete the Stunticons now.

Has Junkheap been hard to find in the US?

No, he's available in every Walmart. But getting him for 10 bucks less than his in store price was pretty great. Free shipping too.

My local stores clearanced him out at $15, then re-stocked him with the new shelf re-sets.

Fresh out the mailbox despite the snowy conditions, we have the old Gen Select Spy Patrol to complete my retroactive purchase of Earthrise Doubledealer last month! Excited to check them out

Ooooh, noice!
Hope you got it at a reasonable price.

BTW, that spare orange bat can be a great partner for Twincast, if you give his Rewind to Blaster.

I always loved that vehicle mode, especially in Mirage's deco. The robot mode, not so much. It always seemed a bit cluttered.

Got Legacy Breakdown from Amazon to finally complete Menasor. And surprisingly it came in a box instead of a padded envelope, maybe all the complaining has finally paid off.

Walmart said these two would be out today and they both arrived today, they did real well for once. And Scraphook was only 20$ CAD.

Can't believe I finally own Tarn, I remember it being a pipe dream.

Hauls from the past week or so:
SS Cheetor - very nice, solid mold.
SS Freezer - fun mold but with the leg design and ball joints everywhere he is a bit difficult to pose.
Legacy Evo Scraphook - I love that they made a fully transformable figure that is also a pull apart weaponizer/modulator/fossilizer type.
Today I found Legacy Evo Metalhawk at Walmart and Target dropped off SS NEST Ratchet

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Fri Mar 03, 2023 2:51 pm

From Amazon, Legacy Buzzsaw.
From GameStop, Legacy Crankcase and SS Freezer.
Finally from Mandarake, despite the 61$can in EMS shipping and 24$can in custom fees, MPM Blackout was still way cheaper than From Pulse or Toys R Us.

Oh, and after 9000 years, Walmart finally delivered Scraphook and Needlenose, both bought at the crazy price of 20$can each. (Can't believe that 20$can is bow a "crazy price" for a deluxe.)

Lots of cool stuff this week. This has got to be the most figures I've gotten in such a short time.

Monday: Freezer - Amazon
Tuesday: Airazor - Amazon. Freezer, Airazor, Bumblebee, Battlettap - Pulse
Wednesday: NEST Ratchet - Target
Thursday: Scraphook, Twincast, Metalhawk - Walmart
Friday: Scraphook, Tarn - Amazon. Galaxy Shuttle - Ebay

I need to slow down now...

Funny enough, it came from Canada. Right at that $100 mark after shipping and taxes... I probably should have waited, but oh well.

Galaxy Shuttle hasn't been that bad on ebay. People have been getting it for 80$ shipped from the UK. It's cheaper for Americans to buy it on eBay than the cost for you or I to buy them one locally and ship it to them.

I had a pretty good week myself, haven't had one quite like this in a long time. Even checked off 2 super hard to find items off my want list.

Last Friday I got an original Takara/Tomy Combiner Sixwing from a private collector. The box is pretty beat up, but the contents are all in great shape.

Tuesday- MPG-03 -Amazon Japan
Wednesday- Metalhawk - Target
Thursday- Scraphook - Amazon

I also got another Botcon 2016 Ratchet from eBay should be coming in a few days.

Sure aren't any on eBay at that price right now. There's only three that I can find, one BIN at $130 + $25 shipping from California, one BIN at $95 + $22 from Canada, and one with 3 bids and one day remaining for $117.50 + $15 shipping from New York. I don't doubt they existed, but I think the "cheap" ones are long gone now. Silly me holding out thinking I could find a Walmart exclusive in stores...

Wow...I feel fortunate that I jumped on the Walmart pre order right away, or that they at least had Galaxy Shuttle for a time. Walmart never did offer Cosmos or the wave 2 Crasher & Shadowstrip online. The only way to get those 2 was to be a pulse premium member ( since quantities sold out before the paywall block ended) or be one of the few fortunate ones to find one in store. I still feel like I won the lottery for finding a single Shadowstrip. Getting these items should not be so frustratingly difficult.

Only Galaxy Shuttle sold out during the Premium window, otherwise I wouldn't have Crasher and Shadowstrip right now.

I went to my local geek store to grad a Generations Scoop.
Ironically, I sold mine some years ago and I'm getting it back because Legacy Needlenose needs a rival.
