I was visiting some friends that are TF fans too. I was dressed in a dark blue T-shirt and light blue jeans. My buddies were dressed very casually too. Belated message "Hi Coolpop".

So far so good, just got back into the TF buying game since I got some spare cash in.

Just ordered:
Classics Grimlock
Movie Wreckage
Energon Shockblast

Was thinking about ordering a gundam weapons pack I found that has some nice guns in it and was looking for a sword for Classics Grimlock.

Allspark Landmine. Wasn't on my list, but he was only £8.45 and he's pretty darn cool!

Masterpiece MP-06 Skywarp

Great figure with ultra fine details & paint applications, I am glad I decided to pick up this piece and officially get into the Masterpiece line collection.

Cheers,
Coolpop

Congrats man, that is one of my fav figs!

The paint job was so freakin' sweet I actually bought 2 (wallet pain!), one to put the stickers on, one to leave au natural.

But today's haul for me was a chance stop at the local Wally World on the way to work. And lo what does my eye spy but a lone MP Starscream! And next to him an Allspark Incinerator! (wallet pain!) I may be broke, but I'm happy!!

Movie Warpath

Wed Feb 20, 2008 1:34 pm

saw an 08 movie BB in walmart, so i picked it up for the hell of it. can't hurt to have an extra around.

Wed Feb 20, 2008 1:58 pm

Picked up Movie Stockade
I lied when I said Movie Incinerator was the last movie toy I would buy but I forgot about Stockade, Jolt, Big Daddy and the 2 TRU exclusives :mrgreen:

Ooooh man. OH MAN! I just got my black convoy in the mail today, he has a lot more fingerprints and even some scratches for being MISB. Strange. The packaging was nothing short of beautiful but he has some play where on him.

Either way, UGH! HE IS JUST SO AMAZING! Possibly my favorite transformer I have. Thanks to all you guys that convinced me to get this version over the American release! The pink looks so much better than red!

I might be behind the times w/ the FAB. I found a couple I'd never seen in the stores before. So, I picked up Rescue Torch Ratchet.

He's got some issues in my opinion.
his natural robot mode hinders his poseability. His knees don't bend the way they should.

So, basically I just turned his bottom half around.

The one nice thing is that his missile shoots a good distance.

All in all, this is the first FAB I've bought and it will most likely be my last.

Just ordered Classics Hot Rod, I think I need to stop buying TFs until I get a job. Sold a CPU for 150 not even 3 days ago and already spent more than half of it. :oops:

But it was such a good deal that I couldn't pass up. It's an addiction, but I love it.

JUST received my 2nd Mirage from priority mail...
This one had a little more beat-up packaging, so I opened it.
Even though I have one already, once I had him out he seems really small.
But still, a really nice figure.

Really makes me excited for Galvatron, Tankor, Prowl, and Sunstreaker.

My Cybertron Metroplex arrived today! He's awesoem, but I wish he had more molded details and paint apps. Still a cool fig, I think he's my largest TF now.

Also got a KO Superion set, a movie Starscream head for a little kitbash I'm doing, and 2 funky little Optimus Prime KOs- hard to call them KOs, since they're original mods, but they're neat. Thanks to Seibs member Optimist Prime!

Did you happen to win that on eBay last night? I lost a G1 UM auction bec. my computer was messed up and I was bidding from my phone, so my bid didn't go thru in time. Nice win, no hard feelings- and if it wasn't you, then nice find anyway!

FWIW, every month has been costly for me since the movie toys came out...
