Would you try to get the G1 Baptimusses as well?

Naw. I'm only an MP completist

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

Congrats though!

Still in the deep end, but haven't drowned yet.

For the deets and more pics, head here.

Shajaki that EM Prime looks perfect. Nice.

Picked up the RID battle pack Optimus figure. Love him a lot. The armor looks cool, fits well, and seems to be quality.
I'm thinking the little ball minicon guy some how works with the Deployer figs? Not sure what he does in terms of gimmick but he's cool.

Because D-Max reminded me I needed to do this.

I got CW Pipes yesterday. Not for a "I need a plastic crack addiction fix" or "I had a sucky day yesterday" but just because I've always liked the G1 Pipes figure and wanted a modern take on him.

A darker shade of blue would have been nice, and some smokestacks, and a slightly different head sculpt, but eh, I like him.

Shajaki that EM Prime looks perfect. Nice.

Thanks. It's crazy detailed, s'just a shame that the proper movie look couldn't be captured for a general release of the figure. And assuming I never come across the Gold EMOP, I'm finally done with that mold!

@Burn
I dunno what to think of Pipes. I was pleasantly surprised by Huffer, but They should have given him a new head.

In my experiences when your that far down the rabbit hole, your best bet is to just give in an following that bad boy to the other side.

some stuff about CW Pipes and Huffer

Huffer is my favorite use of that mold. I'll probably pick up Pipes because I just like that smurfy shade of blue. I would also like some remolding or at least a new head.

I discovered a friggin' ALIBABA CAVE in town. It's packed full to the ceiling of old used toys! This is what I found:

A vintage Little People farm from Fisher Price! With many, many of it's accessories! Sure, all of the parts may not come from the same years, but I don't really care. The farm just give half a "moo" when I open the door, but it's all right. Still missing a few familly members, but the lady say she'll have them soon enough. I was looking to find a cheap one for years. It go back to my early childhood. This make my inner toddler very happy!

And.. err.... yes... Also, obviously, TRANSFORMERS HAUL!

I also got a deluxe ROTF Dead End and a HFTD Battle Ops Bumblebee. Bee speak in French with a ridiculous French from Paris accent. Both are complete and unbroken.

The whole lot for only 60$CAN! That damn farm would have cost 50$US in shipping alone if imported from the USA to Canada! That's one amazing deal I got.

I dont have that mold at all, can you tell me what makes the huffer version (and hence pipes) so great?

Well Pipes is just a blue Huffer, but opposed to OP, I would say scale. While I enjoyed OP and NemOP, Huffer brought it home. Love the orange and mine seems to be a little tighter than OP so moving his arms doesn't open or close his chest as much.

As a stand alone figure I would say he's a fun little bot to transform back and forth. Both modes are nice and he's pretty posable. He's a gung-ho lil guy and has been tearing it up on my CW shelf since I got him.

Great summary C! He was my Legends class of the year in the Year in Review. Something about his proportions and head sculpt is so full of personality. He is an awesome "little tuff guy". And it's easy to disconnect the Prime mold in my mind. The mold just works for him.

[william-james88]

Well kanrabat, good job on your TF Haul. Now here is mine. You got a cheap bumblebee and so did I:



Prime RID Bumblebee for... 2$ at village des valeurs. I dont own this mold so i went for it. I was surprised by the paint apps (which are only the result of the use of clear plastic, but still!).

[-Kanrabat-]

Nice finding, will! I really love that Bee. I think it's a great mold. Better and more fun to play than the 1st edition. And at 2$, even without the guns, you just can't go wrong. I own the blue "hotshot" and the "black BH murderbee" verions as well. If you find them in the wild, grab them!

Also, I spy with my little eye that you have a cute little companion. Allow me to show you mines! =^^=

This is a thread for what Transformers you acquire. Non-Transformer toys have their own threads. We also have a thread for pets.

I've just cleared out a bunch of off-topic posts. Thanks for wasting my time.

Please keep the thread on topic.

One more (modest) haul for the week.

[-Kanrabat-]

Nice!

BTW, I was wondering, Sajaki...

Do you open your Bape MP-10s and other special like Evengelion, or are they kept sealed, opening only the less expensive ones like the original and Nemesis?

I opened them right up. I was conflicted about Bapey boy, but in the end I don't think I can keep any bot boxed up.

[Corsair]

I went on an expedition to the local TRUs and Kmarts and returned with Legends Buzzsaw, Skywarp, Blackjack, Chopshop, Pipes and Warpath as well as CW Deluxe Ironhide and Suntreaker.

That's the way to go!

Because, unless you plan to sell them, you'd just had bought very expensive cardboard boxes.

This fly lil honey finally made it home after her 25 day luxury cruise on SAL Ocean Liners.

These have been found at retail before in Asia.

Not technically my haul, but since I paid for it....



Little man sat at my feet waiting patiently while I assembled it, then apply decals. That's quite amazing for a 3 year old.

Got High Tide for a steal. 14.99 at Meijer on 50% clearance.
