Much thanks to chuckdawg1999 for hooking me up with Kabaya Super Ginrai. I missed my opportunity at Botcon and no one had them for sale on the last day. Glad to have him and look forward to putting the two kits together. I also got some decoys, G1 Nosecone missiles and G1 Hardhead complete, for free. Hardhead is in fantastic shape and is my first and only G1 Headmaster so far. I have wanted this guy since I was a kid.

Got DOTM Skyhammer & HA Sandstorm for 25% off, which is pretty cool. They're both good, but not great. I'm finding most of DOTM to be only good. I guess maybe I only get really excited about Neo G1 figures.

United Darkside Optimus Prime and Darkside Megatron came in this morning and I found another Wreck-Gar today bringing my Junkions to 9. I couldn't stop myself.

[Enygma177]

Picked up the Target exclusive Ironhide and Leadfoot 2-pack and, while not new, finally opened and displayed the Classics Ultra Magnus and Skywarp 2 pack that had been sitting since I bought it back in '06. (I think 2006 is right...)

[kirbenvost]

Correction, Skyhammer is actually pretty awesome, once I played around with him a bit.

[DISCHARGE]

Picked up the Cyberverse Ark from TRU. Saw HA Pinpointer, I may get him tomorrow, he looks too good to pass up.

And now for something completely different. One of the local drug stores had Transformers RPM's on sale. You know, the Hot Wheels type die cast cars? Funny thing is, my mother pointed out the sale in a flyer, and my wife is Hot Wheels collector. Without further ado:

RPM Optimus Prime (Metal Heroes)
RPM Bumblebee (Metal Heroes)
RPM Sideswipe (Metal Heroes)
RPM Highway Patrol Barricade (Metal Heroes)
RPM Sideswipe (Robot Riders)

The Robot Rider Sideswipe I'm keeping for myself

*EDIT* After some research, I found out they're actually Speed Stars product in the US. Weird that they show up in RPM packaging here.

[kirbenvost]

Haha, that's awesome that your wife is a Hot Wheels collector. Fun household!

[kirbenvost]

I picked up RTS G2 Prime yesterday. He's okay. Pretty underwhelming. I had high hopes seeing him in package, but the bot mode really needs some paint detail. His articulation's not the greatest either. Oh well, I mainly got him in anticipation of that 3rd Party add-on. Hopefully HasTak gets around to a black repaint soon, and does it right.

Got a couple more today:

RPM Jolt (Speed Series)
RPM Megatron (Combat Series)
RPM Autobot Ratchet (Combat Series)

[kirbenvost]

^Nice!

Had a pretty awesome haul yesterday, in addition to seeing DOTM with friends, I bought Botcon Shattered Glass Galvatron from one friend, and another friend gave me one of his Botcon Autotroopers, and the Convention Comic. Awesome!

Walked into Wal-Mart today to find they had numerous older TFs clearanced 50-70% off. Managed to snag the following:
HFTD Hailstorm (for army building) - $5
HFTD Hupcap - $2.50
PCC Leadfoot - $5
PCC Sledge - $5
PCC Icepick - $5

I highly encourage anyone and everyone to check their local Wal-Marts to see if they are similarly clearing out the older stock they have in this way. I say several Thunderwings and Cybertronian Megatrons also clearanced for $5, so many other Generations figures may follow suit.

[kirbenvost]

Got Leader Sentinel Prime for 25% off, which is still kind of expensive in Canada...but anyway, he's pretty cool, a little more complicated than I was expecting, but I was still able to figure him out without instructions. I have a gift card coming soon that I wanted to use, but unfortunately it didn't come in time so I took advantage of the sale anyway.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Will it ever stop? Lunch and a movie with the misses today, that means going out shopping as well. One of my regular import stores where I get my eHobby exclusives from has cleared out its Transformers stock, except for one thing:

Disney Label Mickey Mouse Trailer Monochrome

Yes, I admit it, I bought Mickey Mouse! Now I need to find Donald Duck

[kirbenvost]

Haha, nice! IIRC, Disney Label TFs may be on sale at BBTS right now.

[Enygma177]

Over the past week and a half or so I managed to pick up Legion class Crowbar and Crankcase, Commander class Hatchet, Kre-O Jazz (who is kinda meh) and last but not least, Leader Ironhide who I seriously did not think I would find before the sale at Target ended. With that sale and the online coupon he is a steal at $30!

[Flux Convoy]

I picked up HFTD Insecticon this afternoon. I'd been meaning to get around to him and never did. I was out looking for stuff for friends and found him for a buck or two off. I like him.

[FordGT]

Went to Walmart to try and find an unclipped Crankcase and walked out with more than I planned!


Crankcase - $9.88
HFTD Battle Blade Bumblebee - $1
HFTD Terradive - $1
HFTD Tomahawk - $1
HFTD Jolt - $1

$14.99 for 5 five deluxe figures

[kirbenvost]

Wow, nice sale!

[WarGraver]

KRE-O Sentinel Prime

-He's less hideous than the packaging makes you expect. But, he's still based on the awful movie design.
-He has no real hands.
-The Kreons are fabulous.
-Kreon Soundwave has a speaker instead of a mouth under his helmet. ^__^
-Kreon Sentinel is depicted as all red, but really has an orange torso.
