Yeah skullcruncher is annoying

I actually did get the set for Cerebros as I don't know what my Takara Legends Fortress will come with!!

I may pick up another Skully to see if he's any better. I did that the other day with Scourge, swapped out the Titan Master and one wrist, put it back in the package and returned it

I wonder if RL will make a set for Skullcruncher to make him more BW Megagator

Oml you crazy stickered person

I think they made a revision of him with fixed hips. Don't quote me on that

That's a good question! I wonder if they take requests..I know they have a non-standard set for CW Ironhide to make him Smolder:

I don't think they revised SC, nor do I think you'll find one that is better.
I put a strip of scotch tape around SC's hip balls, and it worked great.

Hip balls?

It's bad Bee. Real bad. That set for CW leader Megatron made me go sticker crazy. In that same order I picked up the one for CW voyager Optimus Prime and the Generations Metroplex set. I finished Megatron and Optimus Prime within a day of each other, and didn't get around to the Metroplex set until a year later!!

I was thinking that too. More of a solution than just Pledge Floor Care/nail polish/superglue.

Did I mention that Hardhead and Blurr are basically perfect? If I didn't, Hardhead and Blurr are basically perfect.

Right on!

Hip balls. OML

Them stickers are pretty. The RID sets pull miracles, but cost as much as the dagnab figures.

If you want that TAV Drift/Jazz set, Amazon has it for around 35 free shipping. Tempts me daily.

My Skulldrag's hips are just as loosey goosey. As everyone else's. Every time I transform home at least one leg pops off before I can even figure out what I'm doing wrong. Scotch tape eh? I like it

With Hasbro Crazybolt nonexistent, I have been tempted to get Crazybolt for a while (and get Ransack, that'll make me happy) but am holding off for a bit to get some money for it. gotta justify $34 for it

Yeah, I just get the domestic stuff because they play the same. When my friends at Amazon gives me deals I pick up Takara.

I'd like to get my filthy paws on Craycraychickenbarferbolt, has he made it to retail yet?

No and it appears he won't. He's going the way of the wave 3 and 4 minicons. Virtually nonexistent

Ah, then he'll show up at those discount stores. Sweet, cheaper for me!

Ive seen those missing waves at Tj Maxx and such.

I need to find one around me and go visit. I'm still hoping to find some of those cons

Check Tj Maxx, Ross's and Marshalls. I've seen Scorch Strike Jetstream, Glacius and Ransack in the wild. They hit a few weeks ago around $8 and now they are "clearanced" at $5. Get em while they are hot.

$35 for the TAV set on Amazon?! What?!

Also!

Ordering more Reprolabels tomorrow, we will see how much I want to invest..I feel a collection direction chance coming..

Well, maybe I won't order anything. I've realized I need to see what I have and figure out what I want to keep. I was hoping for a rainy day this weekend to restructure but I don't think that's gonna happen. Just realized Takara Legends Fort Max will be released soon and I need a place to put him!

Dont get rid of those mps

Bumblebee21 wrote:Dont get rid of those mps

I think my original TRU MP Rodimus has to go. He's broken anyway. I'm also not a fan of the wobblyness of the MP seekers. They are annoying but pull off that alt mode wonderfully. AND Apollyon. He's stuck in gerwalk mode until I free him. I just want fun transformers that make you think but go together well

I currently have two of the TRU MP Rodimus Primes, I'm gonna fuse them into one really good one and one for parts. Take the best parts of each. Then if I can find a trailer for him he'll be Rodimus Prime only. I really can't believe a third party didn't make hands for him. Maybe there is hope from KFC since they've gone back to the MP11 seekers to make hands.

I'd really like to have one of each character, best representation type of thing. I really would. But then there is Ultra Magnus (MP and CW) and Galvatron (TR and Energron) and others I can't think of and I get frustrated and overwhelmed. At least I only have one Springer

I may re-visit my G1s, see who I have, compare to my MPs, and mix a display of them. As much as I like TR, maybe I need to quit while I'm ahead. Quality over quantity and such. I almost bought both of the G2 Combiner Wars sets that were on sale this morning, not because I necessarily wanted them, but because it was a great deal and I'd probably be happy with them. Key word being probably. Luckily, they were sold out by the time I signed in to HTS to order them.

I dunno. I feel like I have so much invested in these things but I'm not happy. Which is a terrible feeling. Buying stuff to buy it is not the way to be.

I like the quest path you are on; I will be watching. If it's a rainy day you want, please borrow some of ours. Erryday is a rainy day this time of year.

Thank you, my friend. The revolution will be photographed and posted on Seibertron!!

Well, I mean, a not great outdoorsy day would be nice..maybe not "rain" though It's quite pleasant today!

just buy what you want to buy.
i passed on all the combiner sets so far.
the G2 combiners because i have never watched G2.
Victorian because its just a bunch of male molds remolded with an added part *cough*cough*
Computron is a maybe.
Definitely get rid of an mp rodiumus.
For titans return im going to pass on comic figures like sentinel prime getaway and others i dont want. i might get Nauticia though

Oh Cram. I was on the same road with my comic collection. Maybe even more than a year before I actually quit collecting. If it's simply become "a thing you do" and you don't even get joy out of it, you need to change.

What I'd suggest isn't an exodus, quitting, or buckling down. But maybe just, literally taking it one figure at a time. Whether it be Hasbro, Takara, 3P, high end MP, or Titan Master, read up and watch reviews before you purchase anything. Your collection doesn't have to pertain to any one thing, just make you happy. So if you do your research and make damn sure that what you covet is something you actually want, then go hard.
