I agree with your opinion of that Jazz Will. He is not very good. I wish we had gotten a good deluxe version of him like that human alliance

And/or Sparkeater. Finding Unicrons in scrap lots is baffingly easy. I guess I'm up to my 3rd one so far!

Easier than Voyager Ratchet? Bumblebee is by far the easiest to find though, but thats just because there are so many toys of him out there. In a span of 2 weeks, I have found 4 (in great shape too!).

Oh yeah, voyager Ratchet. I still have a spare one, unbroken and complete....
:-?

Will it survive?

Also, it's dangerous to go alone. Take this:

Just got me a AoE Deluxe Hot Shot (the Tracks-like redeco of Crosshairs) new in packaging off eBay for £5.08 and free shipping so I'm pleased with that. Used to have Crosshairs and kinda miss him ao it'll be nice to revisit that mold.

Nice! I got that one for dirt cheap too, 4 bucks on Amazon. Originally bought it for the weapons but fell in love with the beautiful alt mode.

I actually just bought the Wheeljack mold of Tracks too. Used/complete/good condition for $12 free shipping on ebay. Should be here by the weekend.

Oh man Will. Guess we know who is close to if not on your favorites list

I have the final battle version with all the damage. It is cool, but the arms should have been so much better.

And it's symmetrical unlike the deco on the Crosshairs figure (fixed with Reprolabels, sure). Yay for my OCD-stuffs.

I found my original 2007 one the other day that I had added silver details (particularly to the lower legs which badly needed them) which the later Premium version (which I then had but had to sell on eventually) added too. I actually am pretty fond of the figure except for those darn forearms the only flimsy thing on an otherwise very solid-feeling figure both in robot and car mode. But yes I do wish they had tried again like they did with improving on 2007 Barricade with DotM Barricade using elements of the superb Human Alliance versions and other neat lil tricks. Suppose we just lucky Jazz even got a HA figure and it was so well done. Hm, wonder if there's a shrunken knock-off somewhere.

Cool. Got 2nd hand loose 'The Ravage Infiltration' set for 99pence plus £2.80 postage.

Scouts Flak and Rollbar with Legends Ravage (different deco than the Legends Ravage I already have) plus three little soldier figurines for Ravage to torment.

Is this one.

Hot Shot came today. I'm actually real happy with it despite not being a fan of Hot Shots or Tracks' in general. Nice shade of blue and as I said above I like the Crosshairs mold (and the cool duster coat thingie) A nice bargain at £5.08 for a Deluxe figure (I've had meals at Burger King that cost more than that).

Just trying to decide now if I want to buy the Reprolabels stickers for him.

Here he is with my Bumblebee.

The only thing I don't like about AoE "Tracks" is the very, VERY thick coat of red paint on his face. It hide all the details. The overall mold is not too bad on the other hand.

Just got Trailbreaker

News Credits: 2 · Fri Feb 19, 2016 9:04 pm

Trailbreaker is awesome! My fav of the wave. I like to twist his gun arm 180 so you don't see the panel as much, depending on how you pose him. Looks really nice that way.

Yeah I had to choose between him and wheeljack. I love the cannon hand and the fact that you can put his hand foot gun behind him to give him a more g1 look.

Nice! Flea market finds are my favourite, as many are aware.

One thing, I noticed that your photos are often sideways and its because you use the photo uploader. In case you wanted to post more photos, there is a better way if you are interested. You can upload your photos to www.photobucket.com (create an account if you dont have one, it doesnt take long) and then for each photo uploaded, they give you a link to the photo. And you can just insert that link in a post and it will be the right side up. Plus, if someone quotes you, they will keep the picture in their quote

My wife found a job at Crocs (you know, the store with the funcy footwear), and got her first paycheck. Look at what she got me:

Crocs Transformers RiD2015 backpack
Crocs Transformers RiD2015 Optimus Prime & Bumblebee Jibbitz
Crocs Spider-Man Jibbit
Crocs Donald Duck Jibbit

I know, I know, not a toy, we need a Merchandise Haul thread here!

I love all of it, esp that backpack.

Picked up RID One-step Fixit and CW Deluxe Wheeljack. Hoping to get a new phone soon so I can upload pics of hauls, etc.
I was able to create the iconic wings WJ has in bot mode using one of the missile launchers that came w my Prime Beast Hunters Voyager Optimus.
You just peg the launcher onto to the port under the front or hood and fan the two arms out.

Lol, I had those Batman cars. Think they came with a Happy Meal. Nice Dirge too, my favorite style of deluxe seeker.

Yeah its those. Funny story but McDonalds was promoting Batman Returns in their toyline and in restaurant decor but they didnt know the film would be super dark and not for kids. So when parents petitionned for this promotion to stop (since kids had to be taken away from the theatre in tears), McDonalds just said that the toyline wasnt about the current movie but about the Batman characters in general and his long history. Sure, McDonalds sure, that toyline about Penguin in a duck car, and a catwoman in a stitched up costume and a batmobile from the film had nothing to do with the film, nothing.

And yeah, its my favourite deluxe seeker too, that will be made very evident in the next top 5 list (in 2 week-ends from now).

Daaaaaayum, that's a good price for Dirge, even without his weapons! I think there's a guy on Shapeways who makes replacement weapons for the Classics Seekers, in a variety of styles- cartoon styled, toy styled, Conehead specific ones, and even a flamethrower!
