I have been hearing all about the wave 2 guys and there are so many of them that I very sorely want. might be the most anticipated wave of figures for me!

And it's cool to hear all the different ways of saying/doing stuff. At least we can all agree that some sort of soda/pop/cold drinks taste pretty good ;)^

Those 2 voyagers are my most anticipated voyagers from when I started collecting (right when Beast Hunters started). I LOVE the idea of Astrotrain's alt modes since his G1 inception (who by the way was never released in the diaclone line, so he is an original Transformers mold) and I just needthat Alpha Trion. I love when Hasbro just goes all in on a bet.

Astrotrain is my favorite Decepticon, so I have looked forward to a good toy of him for a while. i love space (the final frontier) and I love trains, so it is an all out win. And then nothing needs said for Alpha Trion. That guy is a beauty

We say pop here in 'Berta.

And I haven't even seen TR Wave 2 yet. Legends and TM's have been slowly trickling in though...

News Credits: 1646 · Wed Aug 31, 2016 11:40 am

I'm sorta actually hoping I don't see wave 2 for a bit. Gives me time to save up and also if I get them all, then I wouldn't get any new figures until January most likely

HTS finally got Legion Groundbuster and the wave 2 legends for TR.

So my shopping car has the 4 wave 2 titan masters, the 2 legends I want, and Groundpounder.

Total: $45.93. just below the deal line, and even then I still need the extra charge for free shipping.

I had to order myself a Nightbeat... I will post a pic in my thread when he gets here its a little surprise as to which one I chose.

did you rename it

Here's something weird:

My collection thread has only 86 comments on it overall, and yours has 833 on it (including this one). However, yours has 65964 views, and mine has almost quadruple at 241552. How does that even happen? Haven't you had your collection longer than mine? I mean, I ain't complaining about a lot of views, but I am just curious about how many people can possibly view my thread when it's only three pages, and not much of anything interesting on it? :lol:

With that much traffic, maybe I should customize my figures more. Maybe it's Beetle that drew everyone's attention? Whatever the case, I am perplexed.

I noticed this myself, just this afternoon, too Sill. Very odd indeed. Your hit count isn't that far behind mine, but the Tron has been up for almost 2 years.
You sure your not just sitting there clicking on it a hundred times a day? :lol:

And D-Max, you've been aweful quiet this weekend. What's wrong? Blaster got your tongue? :-P

Highly recommended, great figure (both generations and TR)

Yeah I did. I liked the Den better, and "ultimate D-max collection compilation" was too big a mouthful :lol:

Actually, no. I hardly ever check it. I just noticed a few days ago that it was high, but then I compared it to other threads... :shock:

It's because your thread has a higher concentration of external links due to your link with deviant art. The page views aren't real people but bots instead. And they work like Google, gravitating towards whatever has more links.

Wow. Sounds like a Lex Luther plan. :shock:

Whatever, at least I look more popular. :lol:

Back on track.

I am curious to know Maxy, do you have any versions of the g1 Insecticons? That Platinum set tempts me. Kickback is my favorite. =P~

I have yet to go G1 in anything Silly. Oldest I've gone is Gigatron :DANCE:

Kickback is my favourite of the 3. The G1 inecticons are some of the best toys of that era.

I agree, I have fond memories of playing with those guys as a tyke.

Does anyone actually have the Platinum set? Because I heard that the plastic is cheaper to compensate for the expense of the die-cast they kept in it.

Its not, the set is as good as the original G1s.

This lot is incredibly fun. I love this Blaster, he's a major hit in my book! The little Titan dudes are awesome too and Clobber looks amazing on Hardhead:

Groundbuster is a pretty sweet little toy too. I would highly recommend any of these guys. more pictures to come!
