Plus, I found but didn't pick up MP Grimlock. All in all a good week.

I've gotta ask, you plan on parting with one of those Rodimii?

Yeah, I picked it and the Arcee up for a friend. If it doesn't want them I'll put them in my sales thread.

Got HftD Hailstorm and he is awesome. Love his transformation and ridiculous amounts of firepower (per his bio).

Awe-inspiring indeed. Man, I can't wait until mine shows up from BBTS. Curse living in Canada where the shipments take so long to arrive! :lol:

Got Breacher and Insecticon today. Breacher sure is complex for a scout. Insecticon makes a good buddy for movie Scorponok, IMO.

My latest 'haul' is a pair of MOSC beast wars figs. Original Terrosaur and Fox kids repaint Rhinox. Score.

(Terrorsaur was actually my holy grail of tf's XD)

Wow, now THAT's a deal! :APPLAUSE:

Pretty excellent haul on Saturday, we had a meetup and movie night at our local collectible store. On top of that, my buddy picked up the TFA Exclusives for me.

TFA Rodimus - Excellent. I wish his waist piece was painted red, and he's a little top-heavy, but there's nothing else I can complain about. I don't even mind the much-maligned head sculpt. Looks cool to me. Love the car mode, it's perfect. And it took me forever to realize this (end of the line lol), every unique (non-repaint) Animated character has their own unique weapon. They really went out of their way to be creative about it instead of just giving them all guns. Cool.

TFA Ironhide - I really wish he was more red than orange, but other than that he's great. They even fixed some of the mold/assembly issues that Ratchet had. Worth the buy. :APPLAUSE:

Robot Masters Victory Leo - Cool little version of this guy. Probably the closest I'll ever get to owning a G1 version. :lol:

I wish they'd given him better leg articulation, and it bugs me that his legs don't peg together, but otherwise he's great. Only $15 too! Now I just need Star Saber so they can combine. Anyone want to sell me one? I'm serious, PM me if you do.

My hauls for the past week or so...(or however long it's been since I posted.)

Got HftD Hailstorm: Freaking awesome figure love the missiles and the transformations not bad.

PCC Bombshock with Destructicons: Good overall, but the two leg drones pop off with a light breeze.

PCC Smolder with Chopster: Good little figure and one of the better minicon/Targetmasters of the line.

And my BBTS Exclusive Piranacon/Seacons shipped Friday and should be here Thursday!

New job, time to celebrate:

HftD Jetblade

I already had RotF Dirge, but he's in the Movie G1 section, so Jetblade will take his previous spot. Now to find RotF Thrust for G1, and his repaint to keep Jetblade company.

I have both of these guys coming as well. I am still on the look out for a G1 Victory Leo to combine with my G1 Star Saber.

Also picked up Generations Red Alert and Cybertronian Soundwave from Wal-Mart this morning.

I should mention both figures shipped separately and in boxes that were a hair to small and the cards were slightly bent.

MP-04 Masterpiece Prime w/trailer and Henkei Smokescreen from ToyArena.

Finally bit down and got me a proper Prime with pristine paint and the Henkei Smokescreen is WAY better.

Awesome! Yeah, G1 Star Saber & Victory Leo are probably my 2 remaining big Grails, having obtained most of my other ones. Sadly they're so pricy I doubt I'll ever be able to afford them, unless they miraculously get reissued. Where did you find your Robot Masters versions? They seem pretty difficult to find online.

Cool about Cybertronian Soundwave too, he's one of the ones I'm waiting for.

That Prime is awesome and the instructions are 100 times better than the US releases. I should mention when I got mine the repair drone in the trailer had some damage; the canopy was horribly scratched and there was something rattling around inside it.

I bought them off a seller on ecrater. Star Saber was MIB and Victory Leo was MISB. Although I paid a little more than $15 a piece.

The sad part is that I have spent so much on 3rd party stuff I could have bought a MIB Victory Leo by now.

Just got Generations Soundwave and Red Alert at TRU, last one of each. :DANCE:

EDIT- last ones at that store, not the last ones everywhere. Sorry if I scared ya!

Finally completed piecing together G1 Computron, just waiting on Lightspeed for the final piece. And found G1 Galvatron and Wreck-Gar at my parents house is good condition.
