I just came back from my groceries with my friend. At TrU, I found Towline for my Junkion crew.

My friend have his many teams of custom combiner and he have a "G1" team with G2 Silverbolt as the torso, and various Blastoves as the limbs. I remembered that he didn't really liked the colors on the G2 Blastoff so I proposed him a trade. He give me his good one and I'll customise the scrap one.
I'll be done quick so expect a post in the Transtropia forum tomorrow.

Now, all my G2 Bruticus need are the two elusive missiles.

Unfortunately not anymore. The boxes were recycled before learning about the black light.

Damn, Sabrblade, you're into living roads all the way!

I'm looking forward your city.

[Sabrblade]

Damn, Sabrblade, you're into living roads all the way!

I'm looking forward your city.

I am building something, but it's not a city.

I also already had seven more back home before BotCon.

I could make a custom and use those little guys to make wings or something.

I'm looking forward the final results!

So I guess you won't be furnishing a whole room then. I'm curious how this will turn out.

My quest to get ALL the "Sideswipes" is almost over with my acquisition of both Netfix Red Alert and Sideswipe. I skipped them at the time because having the regulars was enough, and I never thought I'd want them all. So I pay the price... meaning around the equivalent of a deluxe more if I include the shipping cost. Not too bad.





Only one left to get. The G2-ish Sideswipe from the Alpha Strike Squadron set.



In theory, I ordered it from a Canadian online store 2 weeks ago... My order is still "processing". I email the store. Appart a canned response, nothing. Only THEN I bother looking the reviews of that store... 37 reviews out of 38 says 1/5, "this is a thief, stay away." Goddammit. And I have to wait two more weeks for Visa to act.

Guess I'll have no choice but to pay double the retail price on eBay.

[blackeyedprime]

Some more for my 'I can't afford diaclones' display.

Oddly cross cut goes from bot to car in 14 steps, burnout goes from car to bot in 15 steps.

Definitely pale comparisons to the originals but they still look good on display. The toy red wheels of cross cut aren't as 'toyish' in hand though I liked the toyish look.

Got Retro repaint G1 Shrapnel Kickback from Hasbro Pulse today.

(Edit)Right, forgot I also got RotB Beast Weaponizer Primal from Amazon for half off today.

[LinaNui]

Today is a good day! Thanks Amazon! Nova Prime's box is huge!

They still have that damn thing 12 years later?

Oh... The Super 7 figure.

Right.

That "s" is very important. Though, $30 is about what I would be willing to pay for an Ultimate Optimus Prime as well.

Happy Sunday, all! Found Dirge and some dinos this morning before football.

[TF-fan kev777]

Hauls for the past 2 weeks. Both 2 packs will be Birthday presents next week, but the others have been opened and enjoyed. Extra bonus, Amazon sent me 2 Shadow Strikes on accident, so I'll be returning one for a refund and got the other for free. They arrived from 2 different trucks 5 minutes apart, weird. Happy Birthday to me.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

New pretender just dropped

Got my Commander class Armada OP from Amazon Monday!
