I got me Classics Ramjet, finally.

Congrats on the find, I have been looking for that guy for quite a while as well and havent bought him yet for the very same reason.

Congrats!

I picked him up years ago when he first came out. I only ended up getting him and Starscream out of the Classics line.

Don't ask me why, but Ramjet is my favorite Classics Seeker mold.

Just received my combo shipping of

Now I kind of understand some complaints to Leader Megatron of CW/Legends fame. The alignment of the pegs or struts that attaches to his body, looks awkward indeed when spread out doing some bad@ss kit bashing pose on Ironhide's head. But overall, a very awesome figure.

The Insectrons too are awesome! Too bad no Kickback yet.

I randomly went to Winners to see if they had anything interesting. Appart a few AOE Leader Optimus Primes at only 20$ (did you finally get yours, Will?) I found one noice TF and a completely unexpected find:

Construcbots Shockwave look sexy as hell and I missed out when I saw it at Target at 20$. At 10$, it was mine. Also, just to show how much Winners dont give a single fok, Shockwave's box is in ENGLISH ONLY!!!!

The unexpected. MLP Equestria Girls Adagio Dazzle, the rarest and hardest to find doll, even when she just came out! I got mine a few months back for the "reasonable" price of 45$ shipped from Europe. Now, at 20$ (obviously, the only one they had) she's mine again! I think I'll keep her sealed for a looooooong while.

That's funny. I'm about to upload an out of focus pic of Constuctbot Shockwave right now. Not here of course. I got kinda sick for those guys last year when they were on clearance. I need to set them all up for display. I picked up Shocky at Big Lots a few months back. It may be common knowledge by now, but I figured out a way to give him the correct gun arm.

Nah, I will only get him for 5 bucks at village des valeurs or a yard sale. Not more. And plus I got to play with him at a friend's house the other day (it was his kid's :oops:

) and I really found him nothing special. That backpack blows more than RHA's avatar

. And it looks like we just missed eachother since I too went there to get Megatronus some more Skrapnels for his army. And they had Leader Grimlock this time too (which I bought for twice that amount :BANG_HEAD:

).

Hot Spot is pretty sweet and that torso mode is SOLID. But his upper body, or the lack thereof, is a new low in cost cutting.

I myself had a pretty sweet haul at the Dutch convention this year:

Both Galph and Sixtrain are untouched by human hands. And I have an original Star Convoy in the mail. Good times, good times.

Excuse my crass comment, but I do love to be the one to "pop the cherry" of a new figure.

Good times indeed.

Had a 15% off coupon for Hasbrotoyshop set to expire soon, so when they put up Magnus I figured why not go for it? So I got a few things...

Magnus was the only non-combiner of the Combiner Wars line I had planed on buying (Bombshell kinda fell into my lap and I kept him), Minimus Ambus and the hammer won me over.

Nice! I gotta say, I love Hot Spot. He might be my favorite Combiner Wars figure yet.

Nothing new recently, hope that might change soon.

We were wondering what the most annoying transformer of all time was for an upcoming list of mine and people kept mentioning Darth Vader Death Star. I didnt own him so a super generous user, RK_Striker_JK_5, decided to send his to me free of charge so that I could try him out.

He arrived:

And I wrote (and will keep writing) my experience with him trying to transform him into a perfectly flush death star without the instructions. You can follow that here: http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/what-are-the-most-frustrating-and-annoying-transformers-to-transform--p1697956.php#p1697956

Made the rounds of a few local stores. I'm a newbie, so mostly wondering if any of this stuff is worth having. It's all MSRP from what I can tell. Did a few price checks to Amazon and found the ones I checked listed cheaper there. http://imgur.com/a/jOnhu#0

j5, unless you have some good TRU coupons, They are usually lower at Target and WalMart. TRU Leader Megatrons $49.99, other guys, $44.99. TRU does have nice coupons sometimes. If you don't mind online, hasbrotoyshop.com can't be beat.

I got mine over a period of 3 months, at the local toy shop. I'm blessed to live just a few blocks from the best toy shop in my county. I'm 38 years old and I can remember that Super Cy-Kill from my childhood collection. I miss it! It was only $8 when I got mine.

I forgot to mention I also just got the Machine Robo Battle Base, as well. It's not nearly as big as the Gobots Command Center, but it's excellent. I'm glad to see someone else besides myself, who actually likes Gobots!! The nice thing you mentioned is that you really CAN collect them all.

Cheers, Kanrabat!
