Huh... I didn't even realize...
I was all "my CW Cyc was fine" but after watching the vid, I had the same issue. He does tab together, but it is kind of a bugger.

Difficult tabbing aside, he's still one of the top 3 torso's for me

So after having to drive over an hour (and then a hour long return trip) to check on my father in hospital, it was nice to be home when the delivery man brought me a package from Premium Collectables*

CW Leader Starscream and Generations Arcee.
*Took them long enough considering I had to send them an e-mail asking about Arcee who they've had in stock for a long time.

Woah, generations? Or legends arcee? I actually wonder now which of the two is rarer.

And if its legends, were they asking a reasonable price for it?

Legends. Their website still shows a pre-order for August which was about when the second issuing was to be released. HLJ have had her available for weeks so I asked when I should expect her.

The only response I got was a shipping notice.

Is it just me or the rarest version of Arcee may be the Hasbro one? Because the Takara one have been reissued one or two times, while Hasbro's had one run and that's it. :-?

Haha, I just asked that above. I am wondering that too. But I still feel Takara's will be the one that is more sought after later since it has the cartoon accurate deco.

Yay toys!

Combiner Wars Wave 4 Deluxes! I love all of them, but damn Cobs you were right about Mirage. Delicious!

Pictures do not do UW Grand Scourge justice. I'm thoroughly impressed.

Bought on a whim, Takara's Animated Waspinator, and (actually a couple months ago, forgot) Botcon Slicer! Waspy is great(!) and Slicer... legs aside I like him having a different mold from Classics/United Wheeljack.

Finally, just unboxed today and after a loooooong wait, my Diaclone Volar :DANCE:

Finally found Generations Voyager Brainstorm at my local B&M Home Store, £13 well spent!

I want to ask if anyone knows who he would have been case packed with, was it Roadbuster as there where quite a few of those on the same shelf? :-?

News Credits: 656 · Thu Oct 01, 2015 8:21 am

Nice stuff up there dudes!

I finally tracked this down for a price that didn't stink:

Now to find a spare Countdown Micromaster and paint him up to match!

Roadbuster was casepacked with Skybyte. As far as I know, Brainstorm was packed alone.

Told you so. [-(

Just kiddin'! :-P

Glad you found them, and glad you like them. I know you like Prowl too. Don'tcha?
Great haul! That Slicer is slick!

Prowl is another one that is tempting me to brake the no repaint rule.....

I rarely break that rule either, but he's worth it. Best use of that mold to date.

I'll double down on that. Prowl makes that mold.

...Was that too "Small Soldiers?"

Anyhow, in case nobody's confirmed yet, he has the fixed hips like Battle Core Prime.

Just curious, do you consider Prowl to be a repaint of only Streetwise or of dead end as well? I used to have a one toy per general mold rule but with combiner wars it changed to one toy per retool.

However there are some collections that are straight up one toy per character, such as the movies. I am glad to say I only have 1 movie bumblebee for all 4 films :-D

Can't say the same for prime though but man, he got so many good molds in the films.

Is it REALLY the GENESIS Megatron? The very limited one? Or the more mundane Mega Drive? Either way, it's a great toy. But if you managed to find a GENESIS, man, that was quite the find!

BBTS has them in stock for $120. It's taking all kinds of will power to not buy one. I know BBTS isn't a very good option for you though.

Sure wish Nintendo would let them make a bot out of the NES or SNES... one can dream I suppose.
