What are those? For a minute there I thought the Scourge was an elaborate custom.

I think it's meant to be in scale with MP, which means about the height of MP-10 at the head.

Now I've got a serious MtMtE boy crush on this fella

I saw this guy get revealed and I really want him. But then I saw the TFsource pricetag of $120 and was a little bit more nopeville.

Primus he is beautiful though. I really really want him!!

That price ain't too bad all things considered. I was actually sold on this guy.

But after seeing Tyrantron, I was sold. Now the hard part, talking myself into dropping them dollar monies.

Indeed! Quite impressive, I must say. Found the Megatron too, and it is looking really good. But not quite perfect, I'll have to see a review...

I don't know about that guy. I've been seeing him around, but he doesn't ring the right bells for me. Now that Tyrantron is perfect, save the alt mode. I was hoping for an alt mode that was a little less dependent on the cannon, considering the Megatron they're going for really doesn't have the cannon anymore, save Brainstorm's temporary one.

But it is still sexy, and I'm in the same boat: how can I talk myself into dropping $120 on that baby

Yeah, Rioter is looking sweet but he doesn't ring any bells. Just a cool looking alternative take on Megs.

Tyrantron is almost perfect, just a little off, but really looks good. I also like the alt deco he comes with to give him that old school fighting in the pits look.

Enough of that blasphemous 3p talk; come down off that SG Prime high yet?

not in the slightest. I'm not getting another TF until late January (gotta let my wallet recover and my birthday is at the end of the month) so He'll be my special guy for a while

No not that. Anything but that!
*clears throat* Um... I'm sorry about that. It's just the SW Holiday Special leaves its marks on all that have seen it.

Anyway, all three of those Cons are super cool. I'm actually considering getting Rioter Despotron if I can but I'd then have to get Striker Manus and that might end up being too much.

ArchEnemy is actually a great price for the size. It's about the size of MP-10, and if you already have MP-10 or other MPs, you'd probably love that.

Edit: He also would look amazing with SG MP-10, D-Max!

I thought of doing something similar but I don't have nearly as much of list to pull from, although it is decent. I predict SG Prime will be very high on your list.

Oh and Sillyspringer, I actually don't have any MPs, so that Scourge, while really cool, has no place. And yeah that's a really good price for some thing that's practically leader class
Edit: Also $100+ is a lot of money for something that would be really superfluous.

I hadn't realized just how many figures I got this year until I looked at that list. My first TF dates back to 2007, so that is a lot in a short period of time. Also helps that a lot of minicons, combiners, and titan masters are on there, so it's not as bad as it seems.

Really looking forward to doing the list!

Wow. Yeah. Just reread over it, and it's not as STUPIDLY INSANE of a list as I first thought. :lol:

I won't do a list because I'd be embarrassed by the lack of collecting I've done this year. :lol:

Hello all!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas/Holiday Season/New Year! I'll be having a couple posts to bring things up to speed soon. Sunday I'll take a few pictures of the Christmas gifts (since I'll be home from my trip and hopefully remember), I'll upload my 16 of 2016 (some of which may surprise you!), and I'll ask what y'all got and what rocked your socks!

Also, for anyone willing to guess, I got a jewel in the Star Wars category, and a jewel in the Transformers category, plus I plan to have a very special Transformer in my possession Saturday! Speculate away, and stay tuned!
