Wasn't really able to get online last week so my last couple of weeks hauls add up to Gen Skullgrin, with thanks to swampflight, Gen Kup, Warpath, Wheeljack and my 2nd Scourge (aiming for 6 plus a United one) DotM deluxe Topspin, RotF legend Tankor (with issue 1 of the UK DotM comic), HftD Ravage Infiltration set, Headrobots Hothead (BBTS version) and the Vault hardcover.

I'm also now just 1 away from finishing my set of UK blind bagged Minicons and finally doing a full set of photo comparissons with the original Kmart set.

Good couple of weeks.

This can't be good, 3 hauls in 1 week! :BANG_HEAD:

Trip to Delft, a city I haven't visited in a while, decided to visit a toy store in a remote part hoping for cheap backstock, and I leave with this:

DotM Icepick with Sgt. Chaos
DotM Thunderhead with Major Tungsten

I got the Cyberverse Ark w/Roller in the mail today (free shipping from HTS). It is AWESOME! I love all the sound effects and other gimmicks and all the moveable weaponry. Roller himself is a top notch Legion figure too!

I also got DotM Space Case from Target. A customer service rep was gracious enough to pull him from the back for me. He's great! :grin:

Went to a flea market today and found a G1 Bumblebee with all his tires, some chrome wear, and nice stickers. It was $12, so I jumped on it!

But when I got it back to my car, I saw the copyright stamp - 2006. What the hell!? There isn't even a keychain latch on it, so I didn't even suspect it was a reissue. Original head and all! :BANG_HEAD:

This is the third time I've bought something from a flea market where the toy had either a defect, or wasn't as described by the seller. I've got to be more careful at these small shops. :-B

PS: A few weeks ago Flux Convoy sent me a complete G1 Wildfly in the mail! Thanks again, man!

DotM commanders Powerglide (hanging with my smaller scale Classics), Megatron and Blackout. Not bad figures but they would be much improved with some neck articulation.

Also snagged the last of the UK blind bagged Minicons that I was looking for for my own set so I'll hopefully get the comparisson photos with the Kmart versions done this week. Still not done with these though as I'm still short a Bodyblock for the sets I'm putting together for JRF3, If anybody has a bagged UK version Bodyblock going spare I can trade heavily in your favour from spares of most of the rest of the set.

Took advantage of a sale one of my near-by Wal-Marts was having and grabbed a 2nd Crankcase for $7.00. Weird thing is it was a later batch number of 11121 so I was thinking that "Hey remolded hands!", but was only half right. One hand remolded and the other hand clipped... so color me confused.

Also picked up in around that same time frame HA Basic Tailpipe & Pinpointer, who I find pretty decent except for the weapon mode. Also grabbed DotM Sideswipe. I don't know what I feel about it. I do actually like the movie Sideswipe character, and I like the Stingray in its convertible design.. but the figure overall just SCREAMS paint me. If only I had the skills of an artist... (also he has a pretty cool mechtech weapon who I promptly handed over to Skyhammer).

Dude, the mole pod is really fun but not for the original price it was retailing for. $3.99 is like perfect. I bought one for whatever the msrp was back when it came out and I like it alot, but have always been surly about the price. Congrats to you!

I'm still looking for Space Case....frown

But I got Classics Wheeljack....double frown

Kre-O Megatron
Kre-O Starscream
Kre-O Optimus Prime
Kre-O Bumblebee

Megatron's robot mode is a letdown, but they are otherwise awesome. Starscream's vehicle mode is... amazing. Megatron's vehicle mode is a nice counterpart to Optimus's. I think I'll be keeping all these for myself.

Managed to find one of the elusive SDCC Blasters at Homesense. $20 win! That may be cheaper than he was back in the 80s!

Unfortunately there was only 1 by the time I got there, so I couldn't help out any other collectors, not even people I know in person. But this is probably my luckiest find ever.

Only problem is the black part on his handle is stuck, but whatever, it was 20 bucks!

And... I really want to use this new coffee drinking smiley, so... >:oP

Got back from my vacation to find Botcon 2005 Flare-Up and TFCC G2 Ramjet waiting for me. Much awesomeness. Now all I need is '05 Ratchet. Anyone got one for under 350?

Took advantage of the TRU BOGO half off sale to pick up Fireburst Optimus Prime (giving his axe to WFC Optimus Prime when I got home) and Voyager Sentinel Prime. Think I'm going to re-purpose Fireburst into an Ultra Magnus, and is it weird that I like Sentinel's firetruck mode more than the robot mode?
Also stopped by a Target and picked up Space Case. Still love that mold and the translucent plastic makes it the more awesome-y!
