Today, I found Cyberverse Ironhide and Ultra Magnus, as well as purchasing RID Dead End when I discovered Wal Mart deluxes were still $12.88. I love his colors, and THAT HEAD SCULPT OH GOD. Also the Cyberverse guys are fun, too. I've got a very impressive army in that scale.

Just got back from the hobby store with my AM-12 Breakdown! Haven't had the chance to open him yet, but he is GORGEOUS even in the box!

Yep, my Breakdown arrived today. I spent 2 hours putting on his stickers, but it was 2 hours well spent. I cannot put this guy on my shelf, I'm too busy transforming him back and forth and admiring his awesomeness!

Already put up my photos before I posted that message. Check out that same post, it's edited.

Otherwise, here are the photos that are on the thread anyway

Here's Breakdown with his fellow Decepticons.

And here's a closeup of just Breakdown

Here are a couple TFP Toy Haul Thread "exclusives" for you guys.

Breakdown in Vehicle mode

And him with his little rhinomicron friend; Zamu!

Once I get Airachnid, maybe on the Pics and Poses thread I'll do a pic of her and Breakdown makin' out. MAYBE.

So that's what the Micron is called? I had no idea. Thank you. I wonder what Zamu means?

Apparently, not even tfwiki.net knows:

"The genesis of Zamu's name is currently unclear, as the Japanese word for "rhinoceros" is "sai". Maybe it's a play on "hammer"?"

Could be. I think hammer is "hanma" in japenese, or something of that nature, but otherwise I'm as lost as you guys are with the name Zamu.

These Microns are getting expensive...

That's now 13 "campaign" ones TT have released, theyve got to stop at some point, right?

Shining O.P.?! :shock:

I have 3 questions to that:

1) How do you get them so easily?
2) Are you a millionair?
3) Most importantly, how come the misses hasn't killed you yet?

1) Scouring eBay pretty much upon release ( the wonders of smart phones!), that and keeping an eye on sellers that I've used in the past, they can be quite helpful to repeat customers, don't ask, don't get...

2) Him and and AM Breakdown were my sole two purchases for July, that and my job and kiddie care limits my social life considerably, so I spend it on toys instead!

3) I pay, believe me.... :shock:

That and she's developed a bit of a habit for MLP recently after our daughter got into he new toys. I think she's been bitten by a Hasbro collecting bug too.... I hav a considerable head start tho' :lol:

You'll have some bits to post in this thread soon I believe?

POL came in with First Edition Tokyo Toy Show Clear Optimus, AM Breakdown, and 10 Capsule Microns

Wave two of Cyberverse figures are finally here! Got my Commander Ironhide and Dreadwing. Both are wonderful toys with perfect vehicle and robot modes.
Still, the limbs that keep popping off the ball-joints in transformation is annoying as hell.

I am currently. Most of those stickers look kinda bad to me tbh.

I got my Mercedes Soundwave today!
...
Cyberverse. Oh well, the toy is not too bad I guess. The main reason I bought him was for my Cyberverse EPIC BATTLE.

I gave-in and bought Cyberverse Legion Cliffjumper. The rumors were true. This is the BEST LEGEND FIGURE EVER! Both modes are perfect, he don't have the retarded "panel-arms", he is fully articulated, elbows and knees included, and moreso, his transformation is unexpected, creative, fun, and effective! Well worth the 7$+taxes paid.

Found Dead End and Airachnid at a Target. Airachnid is crap, but since I want it to complete the cast it's worth it. Also Dead End is Makeshift that survived the blast but got infected with dark energon and tox-en in my collection.

Yep. In fact, blurrprime did a review on Flamewar and Hyperspeed Wheeljack earlier in the week.

Just back from the store with AM-07 Starscream and AM-14(?) Knockout.

I have to say, Knockout is so much better than those awful promo pics make him out to be.

So as far as we know Flamewar is in Cyberverse class for now with no announcements on a deluxe class? :-?

After finding a Vehicon at Target, I have been on the hunt for couple of weeks to get some more to fill out my troop ranks. I came up short for a while but managed to snag two last weekend at seperate Targets (GF likes Target and now I do to). I also preordered a vehicon jet so I should have plenty now. I missed out on the first Breakdown but ordered the Cyrus version (AM-24) so hopefully it wont suck (still mad at not pulling the trigger on the first one).
