You need a G2 Sideswipe, really.

EVERYONE needs a G2 Sideswipe.

Awww yis. I've been considering getting the PE Reflector Trio- they're pretty much the perfect CHUG Reflector team.

They are some seriously awesome little dudes. I remember when the first came out that they were too small for my taste, but since then we've seen the awesome influx of Legends figures filling the minibot ranks. So now they fit right in to my C/G display aesthetics

Found Leader-class Skywarp at the Wal-Mart near me today. I finally have all 3 of the Seekers

So I guess your a fan of that mold, or at least of its use for the seekers? Let us know what you like about it since I am hesitating getting all 3 (only have starscream).

Turn out I'm not completely done with Combiner Wars. I REALLY want the upcoming CW Hound.

Because I already have CW Whitetimus, might as well build a Optimus Maximus combiner. So, I got myself CW Mirage and Sunstreaker. Both of these characters closely look like their classic counterparts and I never had a Mirage before. They will be Optimus's arms. Had to pay they full price less I risk missing out.

I plan to buy CW Hound and Trailbreaker for the legs when they come out.

From what I hear SS is the weakest of the bunch. I have TCracker and I think he looks really good. I picked him up when amazon had him for cheap. He looks really good as a jet (dare I say sexy?). I've seen SW several times at the store and his deco is very striking.

I'm happy with the mold, but I can see the complaints some people have with it. I feel the price I paid was fair and the JF mold as a Seeker is best picked up at a discount.

The one I'd have passed on is Starscream
He's kinda bland in comparison to the other two. But since you got him, go for the trio! TC is my fav

Got him for 25$ CDN no tax so I took the opportunity. So, Shajaki and Cary, its all about the plastic's colour then? Kinda sad that Starscream turns out to be the blandest, Hasbro is on the record for being so proud to have gotten the perfect off white fans always hope starscream to be. I guess that devotion kinda backfired on them.

[william-james88]

They broughts me mah Stah' Convoy.

It's stunning. I'm in tears. Grown man tears.

Grandus! My kidney for a Grandus!

I learnt a bit more in the past year. And learnt enough to know that while that star convoy is nice, what I find INSANE about that pic is the sky garry above it. Was that in the same haul?! Because

Ugh. I had a review written out right before the forums crashed and then I got sick so I couldn't check to see if it got posted. Starscream actually does have the least amount of paint apps of the trio but I actually don't think he's the blandest out of the trio in my opinion. That would go to Thundercracker actually (sorry shajaki ) but the blue and black just doesn't do it for me. Skywarp is probably my favorite out of them. Together the 3 look really nice.The jet mode is what keeps making me come back to this mold even though the only figures I keep displayed in their alt mode is the Dinobots ! If you can get all of them for a good price I'd say go for it. I'll try and get pictures of them together up soon.

Well I actually like the mold, but I really do fancy the colors on TC. I probably wont get Skywarp unless it's on the very cheap. TC was a figure I wanted, but didn't want to pay full price for. He is essentially and accessory for MP Starscream. A little too big, but a cheap (and different looking) alternative to MP TC.

How about a couple pics to warm you up to him?

[shajaki]

Lookit what I bought!

If you wanna know WHY I bought them, come on over here....

[Cobotron]

I went over there...
$68 US for Goat Prime!
Now I'm trying to remember if Jak owes me any favors.
Neither TRU near me stocks Platinums.
With shipping it could still be less than the $99.99 dicounted US price.


Oooooh Jakky Poo?

[william-james88]

Not by much. You forget about tax, bringing it to 71$ (but only for Jaki, his province has no debt to canada), and I easily see it being 20$ for shipping at least (tax included). So at most you would be saving 10$. Dont want to pee in your cheerios, but just wanted you to know the costs involved here.

Hmmmmmmmm? These Cheerios taste funny.
I was mostly kidding. I have been watching him for a long time now. I suspect he will be deeply discounted by mid to late this year.

Oh Cobblestone, you need only ask, you know that

But I'll tell ya, Goat Carrier Prime's box is surprisingly heavy. And you know how brutal it is to ship between our stupid borders

If you're interested for realz, PM me

[-Kanrabat-]

My guesstimate is about 30-35$CAN to ship goat Prime to the USA. That would be obligatory Expedited due to the weight.

You can easily find out using BBTS' esitmate since shipping from Canada to the US is similar if not exactly the same as shipping from US to Canada. They say 22.50 US$ airmail and 41.49 US$ Tracked. If Kanrabat is right about that kind of weight forcing it to be tracked, then yeah it would end up being 40$ US to ship from canada. That is one heavy mother.

[-Kanrabat-]

Got some nice little Qs!

Thundercracker and Starscream. They are cute as a button and so tiny! Shown with Deluxtimus for size comparison. I openned Screamers and he's pretty fun.



My sealed on card TC collection is coming along nicely. Do I miss some on card TC molds?

[Fox Thiagarajan]

CW leader Starscream! He seems to have the tightest joints out of the 3. I can't wait for the leader Soundwave to be released so I can have a nice Con leader line up.

[shajaki]

Well folks, I finally gone of the deep and.

Come here if you want to delve further into my madness.







(I included the bottom box shots for those interested in the stamp for authentication sake, cause there's KO's already!)

[-Kanrabat-]

Woah! Congrats! Collecting the Bape Optimusses is really going to the deep AND.

Would you try to get the G1 Baptimusses as well?

[william-james88]

Oh Shajaki to think of all the cocaine and strippers I could have gotten with that money!

Congrats though!
