So just as a check-in, seeing as how I am online for a bit with some free time and over 90 threads to look at, hey y'all.

Got the TLK legion wave 2 Megatron, Drift, and Crosshairs. All 3 are really cool, even if the price was a bit of a sting. Crosshairs and Drift are riding their respective Dinobots, as will Hound, and Megs will look good with Infernocus.

I got MP Bee, Prime, and the wave 3 TLK voyagers on TFsource pre-order (well, Bee is in stock and paid for), and because I couldnt take it after seeing the clone news, I ordered Godbomber on BBTS to go with the siege set. Cannot wait to get all those guys.

So yep. No job yet, the house is coming along, and I am hoping to move in in the next month and half or 2. also working random construction and pizza jobs to make some $ and keep up with things.

I hear that, I'm only subbed to a few select threads now.

I've been very tempted to pick up legion Megs

You should. He is a solid figure, and a really enjoyable legion guy overall. All 3 are worth checking out if you wanted to

Not really building, more like retrofitting our old neighbors house. He passed a few years ago and we bought his house as per his wishes. He smoked cigars and the house wasn't taken care of too well, so we are rebuilding it. Done a lot of work to it, but we're making progress!

Well, mini-update here.

TLK voyager wave 3 came in stock at TFsource last night, so Scorn and Nitro are mine and are set to ship once MP Prime comes in stock. Still waiting on the Siege set to come in at BBTS too.

Nothing new in stores. There was a restock of TLK wave 1 and there is nothing new RiD or TR set to come until September apparently. Boo.

May need to take a road trip soon. The TLK wave 2 are too expensive online for me, and all I want are Sqweeks and the voyagers. No Hot Rod sightings either, sadly. And no new RiD combiner stuff.

On a funny note, the only titan master left around here is Fangry, and there is a special tag advertising him for $2.50 :lol:

I'm hoping to find my TLK's in store. But this line has been rather unpredictable. The amount of figures, and saturation is nowhere near previous movie lines. They're side by side with Generations figures and not choking out the isles.

I'm kinda worried about finding Rodders myself. Canadian Walmarts have always proven unpredictable. Their "Exclusives" almost never show up physically in Canadian stores.

Alright, because I've had the worst week of my life and I'm in a don't give a scrap mood, let's try this mobile upload attachment thingy out for a find fresh from a box that wasn't expected to be here yet

Worst week of your life? I'm sorry to hear that...

Yeah, Seaspray is a cool little dude! This one will go on the Lost Light display, and the RTS one will go to my Wreckers shelf!

And yeah, it has been a bit rough this past week and a half.

What is that?!

I like how you tied it in with Seaspray though ;)^

Well, I hope the week and a half of the worst-ness gets better!!

So if itscramtastic somehow finds Hot Rod, am I to buy a bunch and ship them to my friends?!

You may need to! My stores have had so much bad luck around here I am doubtful of finding many figures in TLK.

Speaking of movies, i actually ordered that Hammer for MP Bee on TFsource. $5.99 well spent in my opinion, not bad at all. Now to wait on movie prime...

I'm sure goofing off here with these kids has helped. The goal is to live one day at a time, in the moment, and not stress about things you can't control.

And play with robots.

I just checked my most well stocked Walmart, no dice. Still wave 1 voyagers and deluxe, legion on clearance, one step or turbo or whatever they call them. A ton of the Rubix's Crew Optimus, no JADA Toys diecasts.

So Bumblebee has a hammer in The Last Knight? And none of his toys came with one? Weird.

Minor update:

I have a civil service exam next Tuesday for a potential state job down the road, so when that 3 hour exam is done, I will be doing a tour of the shops in the area, as the test is a ways down the road. So here's hoping there is something fun to find there!

Hopefully a MPM-04 honestly. If I find him for the $100 at TRU, I can cancel my TFsource pre-order and ship that stack with Bee, Scorn, and Nitro Zuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssss!!!

I haz the mpm prime

Mpms ftw

News Credits: 1646 · Thu Aug 10, 2017 3:21 pm

alright, slight change of plan...

I just found that Leader TLK Megatron was in stock at HTS. Just ordered him, voyager Megs, voyager Hound, and the combiner force team combiners Ultra Bee and Menasor. Used my 20% off discount on the order. $144.12 for a leader, 2 voyagers, and 2 combiners isn't bad at all. Now the only wave 2 thing to hunt down from TLK is Sqweeks and the tiny turbo changers.

That leaves the exclusive Megatron and Infernocus to go with Sqweeks, new Bee, and Cogman, and the TTC's. Oh man, not that much left!

So, on that topic and because I feel like rambling and I feel much better now than I did 3 weeks ago (my fiance moved and broke up with me a week and a half later via text message while I was on vacation with no indication, it hurt and sucked so hard) I am going to make a list of the figures coming out this calendar year that I still want to get that haven't been paid for and bought.

The Last Knight
TTC most of the wave
deluxe Megatron
deluxe Sqweeks
deluxe Hot Rod
deluxe Bee
deluxe Cogman
Infernocus
legion Dragonstorm
legion Hound
Leader Dragonstorm

Titans Return
TM Shuffler
TM Repugnus
TM Ramhorn
deluxe Misfire
deluxe Slugslinger
deluxe Twintwist
deluxe Windblade (in love with the face)
voyager Octone
leader Overlord
Siege on Cybertron set (only on the list because it hasn't come in stock yet)
Titan Trypticon (might be my most anticipated titan ever, though he has some work to do to top Devastator in terms of favorite!)

Robots in Disguise
Galvatronus
SaberClaw
PrimeLock
Beeside
Dragbreak
warrior bludgeon
warrior Twinferno

Masterpiece
Movie Prime
Megatron

And MP-40 has been pre-ordered for next year. Man, I thought this list was a little smaller than this! :lol:

Man that's awful and through a text message no less. I hope the rest of the year turns out bretter than the last couple of weeks for you.

On a cheerier note I'm on the verge of ordering a TLK Voyager Megatron through HTS too. I actually have the 20% off coupon and I had a cart ready that got me free shipping. But I haven't gotten around to it. Now I'm not sure, there's Star Wars and Marvel stuff I need too.

Just make a big cart, it is 20% off 1-time use. That's the only reason I got the team combiners now, they ended up $24 each after the discount. Would've liked to have had Trypticon, but this order will be awesome, and I will find Tryp down the road, maybe when the house is done and I have a place to put him :lol:
