He's quite awesome, but I wont buy it because that's quite a generation gap right here. Warden need an updated Fort Max body to go with it.

Also, I applied the stickers and played with it a bit. Lemme tell you, it's leages better than Gen Metroplex! The transformation between modes is more complete, meaning the base mode don't look like a bot sitting down. True that Fort Max is a figure that is worth at least double of Metroplex's value.

Still, it look pimp as hell with Metroplex.

You know you've married the right woman when she and her family get you exactly what you want for your birthday.

Happy B-Day to you! You are one lucky basterd to have found a wife who don't hate your hobbies.
I have the Seacons reissue and while it's quite nice, it's not perfect. I paid it only 50$ for it back then. I know Platinum Predaking (reissue of the G1 combiner) cost a fortune, like 100/150$. For that price, I wonder if it will be af superior quality than the Seacons?

Another day, another important collector item that just came in!

DOTM TAKARA WINGBLADE OPTIMUS PRIME!

With a 2007 TC for custom fodder (even though it's complete and perfect) some Takara blades and DrWu accessories.

The whole lot, only CAN100$ bought locally. Meaning, no shipping. I've been waiting to land a Wingblade OP at a good price for a great while and it finally happen! :DANCE:

Dude, you're going to love Jet-Wing OP! Those wings are so wide, I couldn't fit him into my DETOLF glass display when they're folded out! Even with his wings folded down, he looks awesome with those giant effing Gatling guns at the ready.

And here's m haul, not as snazy as Kanrabat's but fun all the same. Icepic is a whole lot of fun and has a great alt mode.

Whoa! That was fast!

Just when I thought my B-day haul couldn't get any better...

Not since William Shatner and Mike Meyers has Canada given a greater gift to the USA.
Until now...

and then...
I was at a discount store yesterday and I found this. Half off.

If you're gonna cross the boarder. might as well do it in style. :lol:

For all you 'Mericans. If you have a store called Tuesday Morning. Check it out. It's where all toy lines go to die.

Finally got my Protectobot Evac Squad!
Quite expensive at minimum 67$ shipped. Still, I'm a Inferno mold completitionist so I had to get it.

The elicopter is just fantastic! It have a vehicle mode so streamlined, you cant tell the thing transform! However, his robot mode is typical ROTF madness. Not the greatest, but interesting nontheless. As for Hotspot, I wish it would have been the complete Solar Storm Grapple remold with the GDO Hotspot head. Still, I'll take it as he is. There's some infernomold with better paint jobs out there, but I really like this one's color scheme.

Does this set is worth 70$ shipped? Well, it's really the shipping that hurt because it's well worth the 40$ base price.

By the way, I wonder how Hasbro work. This set is some Asian-something exclusive. I bought it from the USA. The box is in English only. And as usual, THIS is on the back:

Kinda frustrating, really.

wait... the red hotspot doesnt have the GDO head? :-?

News Credits: 41 · Fri Nov 07, 2014 7:53 pm

Nice another Inferno for you!
Is that the 4th release of that mold? How is it holding up?

Do you think this set is headed to the US? Last minute Xmas shelf filler?

It seem not. You'll have to import it from Asia or buy it from an American Ebay seller.

It's the 6th one:

Universe Inferno
Henkei Inferno
RTS Solar Storm Grapple
United Solar Storm Grapple
Botcon G2 Pyro
MPE Artfire
GDO Hotspot
Evac Team Hotspot

The only one I'm missing is United SSG. Damn it's expensive. Still, I bought 3 of that list at crazy high prices so...

Hell yeah he is! And lemme tell you, he was a biotch to find! Not available at all by himself on Ebay, I had to find some obscure independent online seller (whith his site down) and go through personal E-mails to secure the deal. 100$ later, he was mine, with the card and everything.

Got the original Inferno here for 90$ shipped.
Grapple was my first Inferno mold ever. Bought in store at full 35$ tx included.
Got Artfire from BBTS on clearance for 115$ shipped.
GDO Hotspot from Ebay at only 35$ shipped early on.
The above mentione Hotspot Evac Squad.
And finally, Henkei Inferno, bought locally, bran new for.... 40$!

Now, only one missing is United Grapple. He too, will cost almost 100$. I just have to sell 2 more games...

Hong kong airport was one of my stops on my way to vietnam and an airport toy shop was stocked to the brims with hasbro generations figures and exclusive takara and hasbro movie figures (like that easy tansforming prime we arent getting). And i just got the best deal a canadian could hope to find on a new mp wheeljack with amazon exclusive accesory and collector coin.

He was 495 Hong kong dollars = 64 us= 72 cdn

I also bought hasbro wingblade since i could not wait and would know when it would come to canada.

In short, mp wheeljack is one of the best transformers ever made probably the very best example of a car robot. And wingblade is a fiddly letdown full of holes.
