I got the oversise KO version of Grindrod. A pretty solid figure, and I heard it can combine.
So, you got yourself a whole combiner then?

Oh, and by the way, better post that haul HERE before your post get nuked to oblivion.

Ok wow, have to go to bed but it was a bunch to unload, this was fun and awesome.

I found a lot of 3 cybertron toys with keys on kijiji along with a complete titanium Sunstorm. Turns out these belonged to a pretty blonde college girl who had these as a kid and was now selling them since she clearly out grew them. When I am meeting people for transformers, it is never a cute blonde college girl. Adding to the theme of good looks, a handsome chap from england sent me these awesome PCC figures I did not own (or didnt have completely). Thanks man, Vaalphasquad 4 Ever!

By the way, this now means I have had a taste of every single seeker mold ever released by Hasbro, so I can now finish my list (the titanium seeker isn't gonna make it though).

PS: Downshift is the BOMB!

Hell yeah, Downshift, AKA Cybertron Wheeljack is one of my favorite carformer ever. Dat rad '70 musclecar, dat transformation, dat awesome robot mode. He's everything that is right with the Cybertron line.

Good to know that Dennis and his crew will have a home and someone to look after them.

In case I hadn't pointed it out clearly, Crankcase (Dennis) has had some joint tightening and paint touch-ups. Heavytread has a Decepticon logo on top of his Autobot one, and red eyes in torso mode. I needed me an evil tank to do stuff...

Thanks. He wouldn't let the boat out of his grip long enough to take a picture.

Got myself a nice, 100% complete VINTAGE G1 Ramjet! I knew of the incredible Platinum Coneheads set too late... Still, it's nice to have the real deal and at 30$CAN shipped, it was a great price.

I heard that with the fists, we can know from which batch it is from. Any help? I see #6 and #4.

Partformers sure. Awesome robot? Hell yeah!

Awesome! If you want to know about the fists, from what RHA thaught me (correct me guys if I am wrong) but both numbers should be identical. This could mean that at least one of those fists is not the one that came with the toy originally.

Well, close enough I guess. :/

Found this guy at the thrift store today, perfect condition, for practically nothing.

This is the redeco of Cannon Bumblebee which was released in a pack called Autobot Daredevil Squad. In canada it was exclusive to... a store called Canadian Tire :lol:

And yes, that is an Italian poutine in the back, another Quebec specialty dish.

Reason #863 not to ever visit Quebec?

I think it's one of the only reasons to come. That and the fact that $1 US gives you $1.40 cdn and our deluxe TFs are about the same price as yours.

Man Will you have the best thrift stores. I've never seen TF of any sort at a thrift store before.

I was going ask what that nightmare was in that bowl as well. Then Google was kind enough to inform me it is an actual nightmare. And this is coming from someone who's from cajun country where nothing is off limits to eat.

I am happy to report that I finished it completely. I then felt full all day ;)^

I have to train, poutine week is approaching (no joke)

Got my combaticon limbs today, so I figured I'd sound off on them really quickly.

Blast-off; I love him, love him as a jet, love the fireflight mold, love it in blast-offs colors; glad 2/5's of the team can express emotion in their face, still disappointed that he didn't receive remolded wings 8-)

Voretx; is very Alpha-Bravo >:oP

Brawl; is... complicated; the waist is pretty tight, but the shoulders aren't, not too bad - I absolutely love the desing they used to get the cannon to articulate ;)^

but still, an egregious f#$k up on the designers' part #-o

Swindle; is amazing. Has kinda loose thigh joints, and the jeep mode doesn't seem to tab together for some reason - not sure how this will affect the other modes yet, but still, amazing figure 8-)

If by "nightmare" you mean "it will slowly kill you in the long run", then yes.

Otherwise, this is quite delicious.

BTW, Will, I bought that 2 pack back in the day. That Bee is deep in storage, but his awesome looking pack-in partner is DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime's gun. Fun fack, it also came with a "TF Human Alliance" fabric patch! I got the sewed on my summer jacket. That jacket also have a

on the right arm and a

on the left. I need to find a :MAXIMAL:

and

patches as well.

Hahaha, that's awesome, I love local stuff like that. While I was looking I saw a few links where I could get "cajun" poutine.

I'd try a bite but seems little high in calories for me. I gots to keep my girlish figure you know

I sadly don't have a list anymore of fist numbers to release schedules.

But its likely that one of those fists is Thundercrackers and the other is Ramjet\Dirge\Thrust.

I also just scored a complete G1 Superion for £30. Now I just need Menasor's combiner accessories and I'll have all 4 scramble city combiners again. Rebuilding this collection is going to be TOUGH on my budget.
