Agreed, but still a long wait but I'm also notoriously impatient

[Cobotron]

Great haul K!

[shajaki]

Are these teasers for what is to come? Completing both combiners are you?

Eventually

If anything, I'll complete my Ares first because it's been years in the making and I've only got two pieces to go. And I'm paying aftermarket prices on Thundy, and right now the only pricey elusive member I need is Needlenose. I'll snatch him up if I see him, but I can wait on the others. They're plentiful and not blowing up in price.

Found me (without having to drive for over an hour) a TR Hardhead.

They had other TR stuff too, but I only earn so much money a week.
Plus I'm paying out about $2500 in bills this week.

[Carnivius_Prime]

After being stuck in customs for over a week (and costing me an additional £31 on top of the £95 the three figures & shipping cost me) these finally turned up.


I'm not even sure I can be bothered to open them at moment. The cost and wait has drained my enthusiasm.

I feel the pain, bro. I feel the pain. Often that situation can even make me HATE the figure, even if it's actually good. Like a need to take revenge or something.

Yeah, I'm cool with them now. I put the Zelda figure up on eBay to try recoup some of the costs. Pretty happy with the Transformers. Scourge has some shape and style issues I'm not sure about (excellent face sculpt on an otherwise overly blocky head...and the 'wings' don't look anything but ship shell kibble) but overall I like him. Blurr though is an almost perfect example of a G1 cartoon updated figure. The only slight issue I have with him is that his headpiece keeps sliding back in too easily if I even nudge the figure gently. Need a suggestion as to how to make more friction in there stops retracting like that.

How did you find him without needing to drive a distance? someone get him for you, or somehow appear near you?

He actually appeared at the local K-Mart. Along with Blurr, Skullsmasher and Scourge.
I'd seen a post on FB that others had seen TR deluxes turning up in K-Mart so I went for a gander just on the off chance (it can normally be a week or more between being sighted down south and reaching my way)

That's pretty awesome. Congrats!

Awesome? No. It's just toy distribution man.

Australia KMart (where Burn got it) is a different company than KMart in the US.

I forgot to mention ... my sister works at a day care centre and they're constantly refreshing their furniture even if the old stuff is still good, so she offers to "dump" the old stuff. And by "dump" I mean she takes home. Most times I get told "no" but I put my order in a few weeks ago and last night she delivered me a nice, incredibly solid little bookshelf. I will be using it to replace the poor excuse for a bookshelf I have sitting on top of a metal cabinet that house my Primes/Convoys.

Once I get it upstairs. That bugger is heavy.
I should probably measure it first too.

I got a pretty nice haul over the past few days.

I got two TR Scourge and one of each of TR Blurr, Terri-Bull, Loudmouth, Crashbash, Galvatron and Sentinel Prime. I also got in Legends Skull with Batora, CW Onslaught, Go! Kenzan, Legion RID Bisk, and a lone Legends Tankette. Not to mention the special editions of 7th Dragon Code: VFD for 3DS, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 1 for Vita and a blue ammonite zord. Well, I guess I technically also got Legends Galvatron, Scourge and Blurr too but they're still in my stack waiting on a few more items.

I was messing around with Crashbash and Batora, switching their pieces around and they look pretty good with their pieces swapped. Crashbash is now all purple and Batora is now pink and grey. I did it because my Legends Skull is destined to be Megatron in December/January and now he will have a purple T-Rex as his partner. Then I was sitting there looking at Batora and it just kept reminding me of something. I finally realized it once I sat it next to the all purple T-Rex Crashbash. They now look like Skystalker and Cindersaur. That's when I looked up if there was going to be a blue one and was reminded that Overboard is being made. So once he comes out, I'm going to have the all purple Crashbash as Cindersaur, the pink and grey Batora as Skystalker and Overboard as Flamefeather.

I was worried about what I'd be doing for Megatron after that and then I noticed that the Legends Wipe that I had on preorder will be coming with a black and red T-Rex/dragon drone. I think I'll pick up a second Crashbash and mix the grey out with the red from Wipe's drone. That way the drone will be purple and red simulating the two main colors of Beast Wars Megatron's normal and Transmetal 2 forms as the alt modes match up anyway. Then again, I might just mix that second Crashbash's grey with Clobber's yellow and use that as Cindersaur and leave the all purple drone for Megatron still. If I had the option to make an all red one I'd go with that to have a red dragon to go against the Optimal Optimus colored drone that comes with Combobat.

I thought it was pretty cool that you can make all three of the Firecons from the Titan Master drones. Anyway though, Galvatron, Scourge, Blurr and Skull (who did still have loose hips and one thigh) are amazing figures. The Titan Masters and Bisk are a lot of fun. Sentinel Prime is pretty good but I wish the feet were better. I'm thinking about taking out one of the pins from the wing assembly on Sentinel and turning it into a drone of some sort for train and robot modes as I like how it can "perch" on his right shoulder like it's Laserbeak. CW Onslaught surprisingly holds together better than UW Onslaught in combined mode but he had very loose outward shoulder movement at the biceps of the robot arms around the screw posts in the shoulders. Needless to say by now but Kenzan isn't all that good but he was the last one of the standard six I needed and it was only $17 new. The combined modes ended up being better without Kenzan though but I did some tweaks to GoKenzan and it looks decent enough but not as good as GoGekisou. Now to wait for sales on Optimus ExPrime and the black repaints of Kenzan and Gekisoumaru. The ammonite zord is pretty boring but I needed the blue one still.

I really loved the Combiner Wars and Unite Warriors figures but so far, I like Titans Return and Legends more. These are some very good figures. Solid, good looking Transformers with fun transformations. I can't wait to get the rest. Especially the ones slated for next year and those rumored box sets.

I forgot the games. 7th Dragon is nice and solid but it's a tad on the easy side. Some of the major boss fights can force you into playing strategically but once you have your skills learned and know what works best, you don't really have to worry about much. I didn't care much for the ending though. Maybe there's a better one on the second play through but I won't know for a while. I only just started Trails of Cold Steel but it seems pretty good so far. I love that the game has English dubs. It's been a while since I played a game with English voice actors and it helps me get into the world better when I can understand what's being said.
