Not the greatest comparison shot by any means, I'll try to take some closer ones 2moro, Shining on the right, Pure on the left. Basically Pure has been cast in the same colour plastic as the crystal.

In hand, I thought I had been sent another Shining, but the difference is quite obvious side by side.

Now if I could just summon up the courage to assemble them...!

Yeah, you really need to compare them side by side to tell them apart. Thanks :PEACE:

AM29 Shockwave arrived today, and I'm loving him. I have to say, of all the arms microns I've got Bido is bar far the best.

The only downside to this figure is the impending arrival of the BH voyager.

PS: I've order Lazerback today also.

Picked up Beast Hunters Wheeljack and Bumblebee at TRU since the store is doing a buy one get one 50% on all transformers toys.

Not exactly a "haul", but I got BH Lazerback at TRU and he's AWESOME!

How much did he run you for compared to the Shining ones? More or less?

Taking into account the exchange rate and locations of sellers, about the same. Each Pure and Shining has cost me around £20-£25, although the prices dropped on the Shining ones not long after I had jumped on them. The one exception to that is Gra B, although he's still quite new.

That's good to hear. I was afraid that the Pure Energon ones would be more coveted, since a new combo was advertised with them: Pure Energon Super Star Saber, which which just the Matrix Saber, with Pure Energon O.P. and B.2 attached.

Oddly, the Hellflames are still the ones holding the value on the secondary market. Even with the re-release of Gul. The cheapest i've seen them is at around £35, but even then only 2 at a time (Noji seems to turn up a lot) and only twice a set of four....The seller of one set wanting £220 :shock:

Woop! STEVE TIME!

The entire lack of Skyquake in my area and on HTS and TRU means I ordered a full box of Prime Voyagers from BBTS. Sadly, I already have Um and Thundertron, and I am not looking forward to unloading the two. I think Op's going to be a beater and or Orion/Pax with that Dr. Wu head I picked up.

On the other hand, my original Prime line will be complete soon. Yay!

Well, this thread died. I picked up Beast Hunters Cyberverse Smokescreen today.

Sun Mar 03, 2013 9:48 pm

Let me help you with that! I got the Kreon Trailbreaker set, and it's quite good! Trailbreaker is a great little Kreon and the new missile launching gimmick is surprisingly good.

I snagged a Voyager BH Prime. I dig him a lot, show accurate or not.

Glad you like it, but do Kre-O Transformers belong in the Prime Hauls thread? Honest question.

It's labeled as "Beast Hunters." So technically yes.

I was referring to the green chest windows and Star Saber, which are supposed to be black and blue, respectively. But hey, the windows are fixable and the sword I can just deal with.

I picked up a Beast Hunters Peradking, and an Optimus Weaponizer, is the Beast Hunter Optimus goood/better then the weaponry?
I love posing Opitmus Prime with that gun and and the weaponizer Gatling guns on his shoulders but i really hate that bag pack but it's not much of a problem, there are worse..
i though Perdaking would be easier to transform but he leg part is extremely tricky and hard and doesn't want to hold his sword for poses, but i like to dragon missile thingy....did i say these are my first TF toys i bough in my whole life...i just moved to canada from libya :oops:

Is the Beast Hunters Prime really good? there is only one left at Wal-Mart, and they got some nice looking Generations FOC Optimus Prime since i really wanted something more light weight then the toys i go :ic$:

Welcome to the fandom!

I just picked up Beast Hunters Prime yesterday and I, for one, really like him. He's much more of an obvious toy than some previous iterations of the character, and whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you. He's very big and bulky and if you don't mind that he looks like a monster truck with spikes on the front in truck mode, then he's probably a good pickup for $20.
