I definitely think so. My only complaint is that Scourge's head is loose but that issue has been beaten to death at this point. What would've also been nice is if Blurr had a more happy facial expression since he's such a bubbly character. Their transformations are awesome and I love the alt modes as well. I'm not terribly interested in their wave mates (for deluxes). Thanks for asking. Now I'm just waiting to find the voyagers and leaders. >:oP

Here's what TRU and the mailman had for me today!
Powery Mastery Prime!

And for a crazy steal (compared to regular scalping prices anyways) Botcon Terrorsaur!! :DANCE:

I thought I'd test the waters with a KO set of PE hands and feet. They're pretty on par, and with the amount of combiners I got that need upgradin, I'm glad these are around.

Thanks Will for giving me the opportunity to own RiD Starscream early! The fact that it's an exclusive make no sense but oh well. That's one great figure. A clever transformation to a very win design!

Okay, guys. Today I got a helluva haul.

I got BotCon 2016 Reflector at reasonable price ($80). And it was even customized by Cheetimus Primal himself!

These guys are pretty delicious. Their camera mode may be really really dumb, but their robot modes and vehicle/gun modes are pretty awesome. I also love that they are retooled from Shockwave, because now in my own headcanon I can say that Shockwave essentially wanted his own Mini-Me, and so had a platform created to store his consciousness Arnim Zola style. Unfortunately, the platform was physically too small, so he had to make three more just to store his entire vsst intelligence. Bla bla bla.

That Reflector set is pretty tasty. What did he use to customize that one in the middle? That looks pretty nice.

Its like a mini marble of some kind, about 1/4 inch in diameter I'd say. The ring around the rosie, I'm not sure. Could be the tip of a blaster of some kind. If I had to guess, I'd say he drilled a shallow hole into the figure's chest, just enough for the marble to sit securely. I dig it because it reminds me of the Beast Wars Spark Chrystals.

All you kids and your "21st century" Transformers. pffffffffft. Whatevs.

I got a box the other day, pure G1.

Targetmaster Pointblank - Complete with shield and Peacemaker, unfortunately one of the flaps/doors is snapped off. Anyone else with a junker Pointblank out there with a intact torso, hit me up. I want it.
Galvatron - Just missing his rifle. Haven't tested the electronics.
Pretender Gunrunner - Missing his pretender robot, and one of his missiles, has everything else.
Pretender Skullgrin - Only missing a handgun.
Pretender Waverider - No weapons
First Aid - No weapons
Tentakil - No weapons
-edit-
The electronics work, but only the button on his body, the trigger doesn't work.

I got a ton of stuff too:

I finally have animated Swindle (Thanks Kanrabat!) and G1 Prime with Trailer (no accessories)

I also finally have Transmetal Cheetor and Rhinox, which I never had before, along with a bunch of other Beast Wars toys I found at the thrift shop that will help me complete some incomplete ones I had before. All these Beast Wars below cost me 15$ total. Not a carnivorous prime deal by far but not bad.

And here is what I left I the thrift shop:

Yeah, that camera is wonky, but serviceable. You can see a few other fan modes here.

Thu Jul 28, 2016 9:13 am

Haha that camera is crazy lookin. I'm hoping that one of these days we'll get an official Perceptor and Reflector with solid telescope and camera modes.

Haha, those are the same accessories min is missing. Did the 1994 reissue have red yellow eyes? And did it keep the same copyright mark as the original? Because if yes then mine could probably be a reisue too.

As far as I know, ALL G1 Primes have yellow eyes aside from the New Years Reissue with the Action Master and diecast Matrix.

Thanks Shajaki. I did some research in my end and i cant find a 1994 reissue

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_(G1)/toys

A way it seems to tell you have an original is with the smokestacks, which were shortenned in the US reissues. It could be a japanese reissue but the odds of someone unknowlingly selling one second hand in a local listing are close to none.

So my haul for today was...............interesting, to say the least. My mom had me go out to her car to get something, and as I was picking it up, I looked up and saw a bag of assorted Transformers staring me directly in the face. Apparently, my mom was saving it for my 15th birthday tomorrow, but she forgot to take it out of the car. Since I only got a quick glimpse of it, the only things I can remember were a movie Bumblebee (can't remember which movie it was from) and a G1 Twintwist. I'll post the rest of 'em here tomorrow (assuming the world doesn't end, of course >:oP

).

I'm pretty sure you got a vintage one, will. Do you have Roller inside the trailer? If not, it's eazy to find in random lots. With your usual luck, I'm sure you will find it eventually.

Also, no fists? No problem! That upgrade kit is very good and fill all of your accessory needs. And it's dirt cheap too!
