Awesome, let me know what you think of Snarl/Slug/Slag. Also, let me know how you configure his chest because I still dont know how, nothing tabs in.

Grabbed a few bits from Auto Assembly today, mostly Classics stuff I missed out on before.

Silverstreak, Inferno, Red Alert, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Warpath, FoC Blaster, RTS Jazz and Takara TAV Cosmos. Also picked up the Perfect Effect Menasor head and shoulders upgrade.

All the figures were 2nd hand apart from Cosmos and Blaster. The 2nd hand ones were all in very good condition except for Sideswipe, unfortunately. When I transformed him into 'bot mode I discovered that many parts were very loose and his left arm keeps falling off. He's got no paint flaws otherwise and is absolutely fine in alt mode so I may have to just leave him like that until I find a replacement. Just a bit disappointed with him.

I think I've heard clear nail polish tightens up the joints.

It does but it also flakes. Floor polish is much better.

Long time folks! I'm still around, just dealing with a busy life. But I thought I'd catch y'all up with my hauls!









*I know those Lucario's look scalper'y, but two are for my nieces!*

[SkyWarpt]

Ha like a cold BEEr with my hauls too!

[shajaki]

HA!

[Cobotron]

Sweet Mother of hauls.
How are the ladies?

Its criminal that I didn't take any pics of them yet...
The ladies are SSSOOOOoooooo nice. I already loved the molds (yes, even Windblade), the deco's are super sharp, and the giant weapons is like putting a full sized sundae on top of a cupcake. They're wacky and tonnes of fun.

The only thing, is I wished Arcee had a more badass expression on her face. Right now she looks like my mom, whos about to serve me a plate of fresh baked cookies.

[grimdragon2001]

got legends Rodimus and Skywarp today

[william-james88]

Speaking of the Arcee mold, look what came in today:



Yes, this means I have given up on her coming to Canada. When I saw taht the cheapest way Canadians were getting the Hasbro version was 30$ cdn plus tax, I realized I could get the Takara version for less, so that's what I did. She cost 2500 Y shipped. That's 29$ cdn everything included and 21.82$ US, so close to a deluxe at TRU tax in.

And she is terrific. I do not remember a cybertronian alt mode looking this good and rolling so well.


And I am having a blast with that weapon storage and the different configurations you can have in both alt mode and robot mode. This is a perfect toy!

[-Kanrabat-]

Glad you finally got Best Girl, will!

As for me, it was my B-Day yesterday so I got 100$ of TrU to spend. Thanks to the 30% off on TF worth 20$ or more promo, I got myself MP Bluestreak and CW Rook. I'm too lazy/tired to take a picture and openning them yet.

By the way, I bought my CW Titant Devastator for 190$+tx on 2015-07-26. Meaning I'm in the 45 days timeframe to get some money back because of that 30% off promo! One call later and 57$+tx will be refunded on my Paypal!

Hey Will does Tak's Arcee have the stop in her hand that keeps the weapons from going all the way down? A little slice and dice will knock that right out.

Thats amazing, congrats on that!

Yeah she does. But I wont touch it. I am not keen on carving out my tfs. if it was a Hasbro version, no worries because I could always bring it back and say it was defective if I screw it up. But for this imported girl that Canada might never get, not really in the mood to mess around. But thanks for th recomendation!

[Mkall]

I have the Combiner Hunters set, and TFCC's Steal BATs to go along with their Serpent OR.

Also due to a snafu with my Post Office, I finally have TFCC's Nova Prime too!

My fully functioning hand Arcee and friends salute you!

Let no xacto knife stand in the way!
Sorry, old picture, I wanted to take a new one, but I'm out of town

Show off!

PS: Great job by the way!

Arcee was an interwebz order, Chromia I got super lucky and she was the only one I've ever seen at retail and well Windblade, you could barely make it pass the TF section without tripping over her for a while there. She is my second one, the first had a bum pin in her torso where it folds down.

I wanna say that pic was from before the SDCC set was annouced; foresight or just obvious fembot grouping?

PS: Great job by the way!

Honestly, it was super easy and took no time at all. The Hasbro one at least is pretty hard plastic and it was more like chipping/wittling it away. I was more worried about cutting myself than lopping off one of her hands.

The Takara has painted hands so it would be trickier.

Ah yeah, having that unpainted bit would kill me. Yup, I would skip that operation too.

Recently I've got Legends Skywarp and the Botcon 09 Razorclaw.
