I need an ledge like that on my dash.

Anyhoo, I received a new, yet old, Enterprise today. Its the new design from Discovery, and I gotta say, I love it.

I also picked this badboy up a few weeks back:

It is Magic Square's Light of Freedom, and it is an amazing figure. **** you, MP44, you overpriced glorious bastard, you.

Whoa! That Magic Square Prime looks pretty dang nice.

How is Discovery? I haven't seen it yet.

The first season started a little rough, but then got really good. I regret not giving it more of a chance when it was first airing.

The second season has simply been some of the best Star Trek put out yet. They really got their ducks in a row.

Better than Nex Gen?
I'll have to find a way to watch it.

I've been running through seasons of Nex Gen after the kiddos hit the sack, while I play with robots. Always love that show. Never gets old to me.

Snap, he has the cartoon sleekness without sacrificing strong proportions, clear plastic, etc. Hastak should take notes

Damn, I need that. I, like Dmax however, have made recent bad financial decisions. I've spent a little over $600 on 3rd party figures in the last couple weeks, so I'm gonna have to wait.

Flipadelphia dude!! That's alotta bacon!! Worth it?

News Credits: 25 · by **Ironhidensh** » Sun May 05, 2019 8:25 am

So far, I think so. Half of that price was in two items I bought Friday (MMC's 'springer', and Fanstoys 'motormaster'), and they won't arrive till some time next week.

The others were a bunch of the 3rd Party legends size figures which are all flipping awesome.

1st: Dang, I didn't make quite that bad of decision, but I feel your pain there.

2nd: Something you need to do is place a Siege Shockwave and a USS Enterprise beside one another for an epic space battle (Space Battleship!)

Buying Transformers isn't a bad decision!!

But is it a good decision? I'm going to go with it's a meh decision. Or at least a YMMV decision and only good if you flip it for a profit. Good/bad, depends on which side of the fence you're on.

I'm interested to find out which 3P Legends scale hole Densh fell in. If it's the Iron Factory one, come find me and maybe we can help each other climb out.

I'm guessing Magic Square based on haul posts. Seems like a pretty nice hole to fall in.

It's always a good decision. If you like it when you buy it, you win!

I still haven't fully jumped in to 3rd Party, I'm guessing I won't by now.

I've bought a lot of things that I liked when I bought them...

I think the 3P train is very tricky to get the right tickets for. I don't have a lot but about the only one I don't regret is MMC's Inferno. The rest were "off brand" even by 3P standards, bought at blow out clearance prices and still left a bit to be desired. But some of you know I've had a lot of luck on the even darker KO side of the moon :twisted:

Hindsight is 20/20 8-)

Its a mix. I've got IF, Magic Square, Newage, and Mech Fans Toys.

So, I'm not sure what I have shared or not, but here is my collective haul for I'd say the last month to two months. My wallet is not thrilled with me these days.

Not pictured, I've also bough Siege Ironhide, Prowl, and Chromia, but since those figures are lame and suck ass, I've given them to my sons. Galaxy Prime went to them tonight as well. I shocked at how this line hit so well with the Decepticon Voyagers, but crapped out failures everywhere else.

Hey Densh, how is Newage Harry? I've heard good things, but I've gone cold turkey on "weird" size classes but Prowl is my boy and their Bee is great.

That's a lot of bots Ironhidensh!! I remember times when I had that kind of haul over a few months. Currently, I've picked up 3 new figures since January, but if you throw December in there it ends up being 10 total.

I also didn't think you'd say that Siege Ironhide is lame and sucks ass. He seems like a good bot, and I'm looking forward to the Ratchet version.

I might not be so critical, but the one I gave to my boys was so full of qc issues that you'd think it was the cheapest of knock offs. All the deluxes I've bought from the line have been that way.

Anyway, on to other things, this guy is fracking huge!

Oh wow! Which one is that? Does it combine? Is it supposed to scale with MP? Alt mode comparisons? Too needy?

Such needy demands, I tell ya... :lol:

Fantoys Road King. Yep, it scales with MP, and he will combine, though Fantoys has only released him so far. Here is a pic of alt mode:

And one with Siege Soundwave for scale:

Also, I picked up this cute little badass the other day:

It replaces the Ironfactory Jazz who got mistakenly thrown out with the trash. :-(

Very nice dude. Motormaster looks pretty awesome.

How do you like your combiners? Partsformers or no?

AND YOU THREW AWAY JAZZ?! That hurrrrrrrrrrrrts.
