Unexpected Sunday delivery!

[X3ROhour]

YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!
FINALLY!
I found CRANKCASE out in the Wild!
And I really like him!

boo.
he is missing his left side door panel.
*sigh*



I got a Spike & a Red Cog, too.
meh.

At least this G.I.JOE CLASSIFIED "OUTBACK" turned out to be so frigging amazballz! Right?!
Silver linings?

That Rung key was quite unexpected!

Also hilariously fitting, considering.

That's a really dope idea, Zelda. I would like to see a completed shot whenever they get the part printed for you.

I think you might be misunderstanding. What they'd be printing is just a repro Omega Lock I found on Cults3D (that without some extra effort on my part wouldn't even have accommodation for an LED and battery, if I recall the model correctly); it has nothing to do with Rung. Rung was just bought as a substitute transformation tool because I saw on Twitter that he works as one.


So, thanks to the combination of a $50 Amazon giftcard and it being on sale... I got my hands on this. I am enjoying.

Hell yeah, that JP set is AMAZING... when bought on sale. Because the full price is ludicrous, especially in Canada.
I recommend that you buy the upgrade kit at least for JP-93. It gives him an extra knife and fill up these huge gaping holes on his legs.

Visited the local collectors stores and picked these guys up!

Was stunned to find robot replicas Bee, it looks awesome! Love that 07 packaging. The loose SS DOTM Bee is going to be for a future repaint!

Ah ok; i got you.
I misunderstood.

Still dope, all around!

Today, I finally received both my Holiday Optimus Prime and my friend's from Age 3 & Up. So what I did was to gift-wrap them up and we will open them at my family's Xmass party. This will be fun!

[Emerje]

Haven't picked up very many Transformers lately, but my POL from BBTS came in today with Holiday Prime and Magnificus as well as my Matrix bookends.

SS86 Junkheap has been $22.50 on Amazon for a while now, got one of those in the mail the other day.

Also found a SS Core Ravage for $5 at the local salvage store. I already have one, but I can't find it so now I have two.

This is hands down my best acquisition for the year, possibly even decade at the current rate.

100% complete G1 Hardhead (yes even Duros), all up with postage ... $50AUD.

Very stoked to have him in the collection.

That's a amazing find! Especially at that ridiculous price. But be very careful with the "stats" panel. If it's tight, nudge it and wiggle it gently until it move. If you don't, it will break. It happened on mine. I could repair it but still.

On my end, I finally got the Legacy Core Class Wheelie. Much more enjoyable than the Titan Return version, despite the visible hands in vehicle mode and the butt skirt in robot mode.

Already sorted. Did it to show a co-worker, won't be doing it again.

The thing is thin and tight. Not a good combo. After the repair I shaved some excess plastics to make it looser. Now it's perfect to use but the "collector grade" went down.

I’ve been after a DOTM Leader Bee for a very long time, super happy to have one! The bot mode proportions are off, but it’s very fun! The KSI Sentry and Prime are going to be painted up as future projects’

My brother is getting one of his favorite characters for Christmas this year!

[-Kanrabat-]

Merry Xmas everyone!

Optimus was to me from me, and that memeastic hoodie was from mom!

Of course I could have bought it myself. But by principle, I wanted to have it as a gift. And when mom asked me what I wanted for Xmass, I jumped on the occasion to ask for it. My mom have a great sense of humor and that was a hit!
Also, it's pretty comfy and it's cat hair proof.

Cat hair proof? That's a thing?

Emerje

Yup. I have 2 shirts made out of the same material and no cat hair stick. So having one more "legendary armor" piece is a miracle!

[Whifflefire]

Christmas haul!

Another long-awaited Cybertron figure, one Masterpiece Blackout, and two figures that I am finally reuniting with after they broke when I was a kid. Finally filling these holes was a nice way to end the year in which my collecting was much more retro-oriented than any year previous.

I also got my brother SG Flamewar, and Cybertron Brimstone via Seibertron's very own eBay store.

[LinaNui]

Yesterday was a good day for my transformers collection! Very happy to have a Tidal Wave in the collection finally!

[Burn]

I haven't had much interest in a lot of the Legacy line as I feel it's just replacing figures of characters that I already have modern iterations of from previous CHUG lines.

That being said, I have found myself picking up some of the "Diaclone" characters as they are essentially different characters and molds in my collection, completely different to their mold mates which I have as CHUG versions.

With that being said, I popped into the local K-Mart today, not really expecting anything, but instead found the Velocitron figures on special so I nabbed myself a Burn Out. Of course with this being my first experience with the mold I didn't know what to expect, suffice to say I was pleasantly surprised. This is a good solid figure made even more fun by the fact it's transformation is clearly based on G1 Skids with a slight modern tweaking.

One last large haul of 2022 from Amazon.ca and Toy Snowman.

Nice finds, I too like DotM Leader Bee, even if he is a bit wonky.

Nice on the Sentry too, i really want like 2 or 3 more of those things, and maybe a 2nd Boss too. now that we have Galvatron, I want more KSI soldiers for him

[Starseeker]

Well my patience paid off as I snagged the big fella here marked all the way down to $94.99 at Target!
