Picked up HftD Sunspot and finally found myself a HftD BREACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :KREMZEEK:

Dude is an awesome, awesome toy. Has a weird misplaced autobot logo right at the bottom right corner of his canopy, but I think it just gives him some extra style. He may be my favorite scout sized figure.

I stopped at Y'All-Mart on the way home from work this evening, and though the pegs were empty of anything new as they have been for the past 2 months, there was a pallet stacked high with Hasbro boxes in the main aisle.

Not being one to care about rules and regulations when it comes to my TFs, I took out my handy mini box cutter and went to work. I did not look around to see if I was being observed as I cut open a few boxes. I even whistled while I worked.

Several of the boxes contained things I already had found elsewhere, like Gen wave 2 and HFTD wave 2. I did end up finding an assortment containing Axor and Deluxe Rescue Ratchet, though. Axor I took, Ratchet I left, as I already have the regular deluxe version and the white Voyager version.

Axor is a wondrous toy for a repaint. The new head mold is truly a thing of beauty and along with the new weapon and paint job sets Axor worlds apart visually from the Lockdown mold. This is how a repaint should be done!

PCC Rallybots. Poor decision.

Shipment arrived from KOToys; their 3 Rainmakers and 3 other seekers. Of the three rainmakers, 1 had the wing pivot point snap and another is missing the screw needed to attach the wing to the body.

I don't think I'll be ordering from them again.

I did the buy 1 get 2 free legends today at TRU. I got Ratchet (the tan and maroon one), Bluesteel Sideswipe, and Power Armor Optimus Prime. They were all new molds to me and I like them all, although Ratchet is a little weird. I liked the decos on Prime and Sideswipe better than the regular decos, which were also available. Prime looks great combined with my War for the Skies Jetfire (which I just noticed is the same combination used in the Seibertron gallery of this deco of OP.)

I must have been the only one who hasn't had a problem with KO Toys. Kinda sad that my luck kicks in for this and not the lottery.

Well at my local walmart I found Generations Cybertronian Megatron (which had been alluding me) Generations Cybertronian Soundwave, Generations Dirge, and Generations Blurr!

I've been really loving all four of them, all are great figures, IMO, and none have any QC issues!

News Credits: 8 · Mon Nov 08, 2010 3:42 pm

I just found Generations Darkmount at a TRU, should not have spent the money but he is the only one I have found in all my searching and I refuse to be deprived of Lord Straxus.

Picked up Crankcase and the Destrons tonight on my way home from work for the sole purpose of taking Crankcase, adding the Rallybots to him, and making a mini-Menasor. I must say, that I like it. While not perfect (mostly because of the arms) it has a visual appeal that I can't stop staring at...

GEN BLURR

Not really a haul, but a tasty news tidbit.

Stopped by a local TRU Express looking for the exclusive Marvel Legends 2 packs and found these instead:

WFC Soundwave
Generations Drift
Generations Dirge

I think I'm caught up now.

Tue Nov 09, 2010 5:02 pm

Finally found a WFC Megatron, and also happened upon Banzai Tron. I missed Bludgeon when he came out, so while I really would've preferred that one (g1 Bludgeon was one of the last g1's I got) I'd still much rather have him than miss out on the mold completely.

Now if only I could find some friggin Dirge and Blurrs. I am so sick of digging through piles and piles of WFC Prime and BB looking for them! :lol:

If you have any Boscov's stores near where you live, I've found that many of them still have a bunch of Bludgeons and Recon Ironhides still on the shelves.

This week I picked up PCC Bombshock and Cybertronian Optimus.

I was considering getting a second Bombshock because I didn't like the mismatched legs. But once I swapped the arms around, I find I like it as is. It has a foot with more support for the heavier arm.

My Optimus, unfortunately, has one of its feet attached wrong and I didn't notice in the store. So I keep him in vehicle mode, and definitely plan to get a second.

Wanted Cybertronian Megs, but couldn't find him.

You can return the Optimus to the store if you point out the defect.
