Scram? But yes, It's really called Slaughter and I'm sure the reason is probably exactly what you think. Never looked into it myself.

There's a Cut and Shoot TX, I **** you not. Just a bunch of cowboys on this side of the pond.

Unfortunately our ancestors really didn't think, or care, to keep the names the indigenous people gave to the land, so we have things like this:

Those names! I grew up in a small town in Missouri that shared it's school district with the town of Peculiar.

Anywho, back on topic.

I have given up on hunting Wreck-Gar at my local Walgreens until a sighting comes through. Brainstorm and the Clones where very easy to come by here. Being in the center of the country, I'm not worried about missing him once a coastal sighting pops up.

Sorry Cary I got mixed up

Don't worry, the UK has it's fair share of unfortunate place names

As for Wreck-Gar, we'll post news of a sighting up as soon as we get it

I lived 2 miles from Desire, PA! And some of the Pittsburgh street names are cringe inducing...

I too am not going to bother hunting Wreck Gar. My Walgreens here still only have TR stuff,they haven't migrated out of last March yet

Yeah no WG in OR yet either. But I'm also waiting for a sighting!

I keep trollin' around for Novastar....

Every Walmart around me just has one or two Rippersnappers on their pegs. I'm not sure if it's the remnants of Wave 2 or Wave 4, though. If it were Wave 4, it would be a little odd that only he'd be left and the other repeats would be snatched up so quickly.

Same here, Wolfman! All have 1-2 Rippersnappers only (besides 1-2 Elita-1s).

One of the toy department guys did say they were expecting more on the 29/30th -- we shall see!

So I just got word that my Throne of the Primes should be arriving today. Looks like HTS is making some kind of effort to amend for lasts weeks screws ups.

Hey, yeah J! My Throne Munkky shipped too. I said I wouldn't believe until I got a shipping notice.

Dreams really CAN come true! I'm a REAL little boy!!!!

Now make a video of black primal dancing like that

Though I now associate that line with Ultron thanks to the second avengers movie.

I hope you enjoy throne of the primes cobo, and indeed anyone who got him.

I decided to splurge on this version over the retail basically because I just can't fathom replacing my original Op Op. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. But, I think I will pair up Throne Munk with Tak Legends Lio Convoy for some weird and wonderful dimension hopping adventures through my CHUG shelves. Should be interesting!

Well my hunt is almost officially over. Retail Optimal Optimus and Wreck Gar are all I have left from this line. Found Novastar at a local Walmart, on the wrong rack.

Honestly its bittersweet and I hope they give us some special send off at NYCC. CW reignited my passion for collecting the figures. TR and PotP kept that going and improved things. I hope the WfC trilogy will continue to captivate me (so far so good).

Anyone want to speculate what a hypothetical NYCC exclusive could be?

A hypothetical? The last decoy suits for the unreleased prime masters at retail.

It might just be a simple Diaclone repaint of Ultra Magnus to make him look like Powered Convoy.

Or who knows, it could be a pre-Transformers Omega Supreme if the next Titan is truly OS, but I think this speculation should be saved for the Siege thread. The only reason I said that was because I was confused as to why I said something related to Siege on the PotP thread, & it had only been around 2 minutes since I commented.

To be fair, Mordhelm meant what would be a hypothetical NYCC Power of the Primes exclusive.

Nice find on Novastar! I'm still looking, but a fear I may have missed my chance already. I've found nothing but Rippersnappers lately. Oh, and are you planning on getting Punch/Counterpunch too? That's one more for the checklist at the end of Power of the Primes.

That was my worst fear. I was wondering why he was talking about siege here. Because he wasn't, & I didn't realize.

I need to stick to one thread from here on out. My lord!

This would be great.

I'm kind of hoping for another Combiner limb or two just to beef up the teams that are lacking. Another Con of some kind, and or another one of the Ladybots would cool.

I'm not that well versed in that episode that featured the Lady Squad. Wasn't there a medic character that was green and another? 5 total?

It's all good. We've all done it.

There were six female Autobots in total. We've already got Elita-One, Moonracer, and Firestar covered. Chromia was released in Thrilling 30 and will be again in Siege. Most of us have been hoping for Greenlight and Lancer to build a complete Elita-Infin1te with just female Autobot team members. Maybe Greenlight is the "medic" you're thinking of?

There was a Club (I think) exclusive not long ago that was green repaint of the Arcee mold. Was that Greenlight, or Lancer? I forgot about Chromia being a part of that group.

Paradron Medic, guys.
