Hmm, not sure if these should be listed here as both this thread and the Classics thread seem ....

PCC Leadfoot... Got him to add to my Neo-Wreckers line-up (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/the-wreckers-whats-your-neo-classics-line-up-t88096.php) and hes okay! He has big shovel hands but theyre not all bad, a funny little 'targetmaster' style weapon which looks better as a hand weapon rather than plugged into his chest?
Hes okay!

Movie Recon Barricade... I had my reservations in getting any version of this mold, he just seemed a little fugly with odd kibbly sticky out bits and big square hands! He came part of a bundle (with TFP Vehicon, woot!) so wasnt too worried, but after transforming him, the kibble folds back and out of the way, so I have him displayed looking like a little Alternator!! Hes okay!

RotF Brawn... now I have him, Im not too sure. Ridiculous amount of kibble and massive knee pads! I like his funny chimp-like head mold and his hand guns but... thats about it. i think Ill pop for Firetrap next as my Brawn?

HA Sandstorm... nice! Yep hes a pretty cool looking take on our old favourite triple changer. Picked him up for part of my Neo-Wreckers line-up (see link above). Not bothered about his little private that comes with, left him in the package. A few bits of roll cage sticking out of his back, but not too bad really!
Coolio!

RotF Sunspot... funny little fella he is! No, hes okay but only picked him up to try and attach him to RTS Strafe as a chest shield/armour/power up type thing! Havent unpacked Strafe yet, so not sure how it all looks just yet?

Phew!

Picked up DOTM Triceradon, new, for $2 the other day.

One of those "what the hay" buys. Lol. Cheap little Dinobot :3

I just bought Super Godmaster Force on DVD, despite having not yet seen the rest of Headmasters. One of these days, Japanese G1 Viewing Extravaganza!

Oh, and Botshots Powerglide.

For my b-day, my wife got me Avengers TF Crossover Captain America, and Kre-o Decepticon Ambush and Cycle Chase. Cap is nice and big and bulky and looks good in both modes. The Kreon battle packs are both a lot of fun.

Got masterpiece Thundercracker tonight.

Found some sweet junk at the local thrift store:

Grimlock is perfectly fine, but his Sword is missing. How much the whole lot cost? 5$+taxes!
I just love the fact that I have lucked into a Transformers Universe Voyager Class Heavy Load. Sure, parts are missing but it will be great custom fodder. How funny that I ordered one MISB the week before!
Grimlock will most likely be on sale.

Another interesting find for 3$:

Sure, that licenced die-cast car is NOT a Transformers. Still, it complete the HA Wreckers team!

And finally, I got Binaltech Grimlock I had in a trade. I gave Generations Thrust, TF Prime RiD Soundwave, and FE Arcee, all MOSC for him.
I'm surprised how HEAVY that Binaltech is compared to the average Alternators. There's must be many diecast parts in there.

I'll never get over the nice stuff you find at your local thrift stores, Kanrabat!

THAT was the miracle haul. VERY often, I come back empty handed.
Still, THAT thrift store IS the TF hunting ground and 90% of the time the toys are just junkers.

It's just a matter to arrive at the right time!

Yeah, but you use the hell out of your junkers in your crazy kitbashes.

An eBay buy just came, G2 Autorollers Dirt Bag and Roadblock. Both in virtually perfect condition, complete w/ all missiles and instructions, but no pop-up card. These guys are fun.

by **Doubledealer93** » Fri Sep 28, 2012 10:48 pm

oh yeah. finally i have a classics devastator. todays haul at mid ohio comic con. here for 2 more days with my now fiancee ^_^

by **RAcast** » Sat Sep 29, 2012 2:47 pm

A rare trip to TRU netted me Kre-O Sentinel, Ratchet, and GDO Scout Laserbeak for $30. I'd call that a good day. :grin:

Got a chance to pick up some recent ebay purchases! Now this is a haul.

Cybertron Cannonball
Armada Sea Minicon team
Dotm CV Barricade
Armada Jolt, Longarm, Spiral, and Dualor
RiD basic spychangers Optimus and Ultra Magnus
Jungle Planet Optimus Prime (and Megatron for a buddy of mine)
and last, but certainly not least,
3/4 of Energon Superion's limbs, in all of their glory!
Sky Shadow, Windrazor, and Terradive.

If anybody has any energon/classics/universe/etc. limbs (other than the Sky Shadow/Terradive mold) they're looking to sell, lemme know!

Cannonball is awesome. I wish his balljoints weren't translucent plastic, but this mold is so cool. He retains Red Alert's alternate hands gimmick, the shoulder guns are quite nice, and his transformation is incredibly original.

Popped into Bedford to see if B&M Homestore had anything interesting!

: "No I don't have a spare gun Mudflap!"

If Transformers Dark of the Moon Deluxe Mechtech Mudlap was free I would go out of my way to grab him, so left him hanging! :lol:

Picked up Transformers Dark of the Moon Deluxe Mechtech Autobot Armor Topspin and what a mouthfull he is!!! :grin:

At only £6.99 MOC, I had this guy on My List to grab if cheap enough so had to make it so!
Spotted a lone Transformers Cyberverse Movie Bumblebee which I pulled out from the back of loads of random carded toys and popped him up front, poor little bugger!

Picked up the 6in Titanium Thundercracker, Starscream, and Jetfire from a board member, $5 each! As with the whole Ti line, they have issues but they are nice additions.

by **Decatron** » Tue Oct 02, 2012 4:29 pm

Picked up Generations Thrust and Wheeljack, and FoC Shockwave.

Bought Alternators Decepticharge on eBay for $12, loose/complete and in very good shape, a couple small scuffs here and there. No gun barrel, of course, thank you Honda Motor Corporation. Honestly.

I made a rudimentary gun barrel out of a piece of… something I had around. It is attached to the original location with a pin, and it folds and stays tucked in underneath and everything. Looks crude for the time being but some day I might finish it up.

My Alternators collection, up to now, has had only a single Decepticon, the Ravage Jaguar. Good to shore up their ranks, but it’d still be a slaughter- 15 to 2. Bam.

FOC Jazz & Shockwave

So far, the FOC line isn't my favorite. Optimus Prime and Jazz look completely awful, but Shockwave is cool.

:GHOST:

I just made an interesting trade with my sister's boyfriend. He brought the Tf box from his childhood to show me his old stuff. So I traded him some new stuff for some oldies he didnt really cared about. I told him to keep his complete G1 Optimus Prime with him, safely forever.

Anyway, I gave him DotM deluxe Roadbuster, DotM Deluxe Crankcase, Prime RiD Cliffjumper, (all MOSC) plus a loose 2007 Camaro Concept Bumblebee (100% complete, from the "evolution of a Hero" 2-pack) for this:

What can you say, I just love Go-Bots! Leader-1 have loose wings but seem 100% complete. Unfortunately, Warpath have a broken feet and Bombshell miss his gun. G1 hoist have some peices missing. Huffer is a cute little guy. I cannot name the tiny Go-Bots. Help?

My favorite of the lot is Super Go-Bots Warpath. It's NICE! Too bad for the broken foot.

Stopped at a Kmart on route to work and found Voyager PRime Prime on clearance for $19. I scoffed mightily until I saw a card saying all clearance toys were 50% off their sticker price, so for $9.50, I bought him. Won't know much about him til I get home, but it put a smile on my Friday.
