How is that set? I'm highly tempted to get it.

I highly recommend it. The headsculpts and paint apps are definitely worth it. It is a very fun set.

I found a CW Ironhide today at TRU that I price matched down to $12.49 (thanks Target) to go with a CW Wheeljack and CW Trailbreaker (found last week at TJ Maxx). Then I ordered the Smolder, X-Tinguisher and Fallen sticker sets from toyhax. Now I just have to wait for the stickers to come in. I'm going to pair those 3 with Offroad and a Battle Core prime that I already stickered up as Nova Prime. I'm going to call the combiner Stickerous Maximus. I'll throw some photos up once the stickers come in.

The shrine will have 2 of every version of the figure, sealed and opened on display. I have most of the sealed fella's I need, but I gotta excavate the basement to see what the condition of my open Dinobot's are like 8-}

Thanks for the feedback and I believe you are new so welcome! Also, I look forward to those pics of Stickerous.

Birthday money + Penny sale at Entertainer =

I'll open 'em a bit later. Usually I wouldn't bother with them but due to the penny sale I got one free; so I pretty much got them for a fiver each which I feel is very much worth it.

Very much worth it! :APPLAUSE:

I know I said later but right after I posted I got the urge to open them up. Couldn't resist lol.

Chop Shop is... cool. Pretty decent legends Decepticon crowdfiller. Much like Wolfwire though, while he's cool in both modes; the beast mode is easily the standout. When I finished transforming that thing I just sat there giggling for a few seconds at just how utterly monstrous it was; it's insane - imagine a few of them crawling up your bed at 2am, jesus. Love it

Buzzsaw ended up being the surprising standout for me though. The bird mode isn't as stiff and blocky as I thought it would be; it's rather versatile and decently sized to the point it can get into some really cool poses. I don't even feel I need those Reprolabels add on parts anymore (though I still totally want them).
And the phone mode is just utterly adorable. It's such a cool little thing and I love transforming him back and forth between modes, it's so simple and so fun. Haven't tried out his strange third mode yet though, but a rolling thing seems fun. And I'm pretty impressed at how well hidden the wheels were, if they had to have a weird third mode like that; kudos on hiding it.

Made a fun international swappsie with the one and only Mr. Burnie Burnbaum himself. Prowl even came complete with authentic Australian dust! :-P

I dig him. I've never handled this Alternator mold. Love the laser baton! This completes another set of the three Datson Bros. for me. Which I guess has become a new niche corner of the Collect-O-Tron.

Thanks Chief! ;)^

I'll let Burn share what we traded. When and if it arrives! :shock:

I just got back from a hunt thanks to my lovely wife being willing to drive me to an area that's a bit out of our way. Unfortunately, the closest TJ Maxx was just that. Before you ask, yes I was looking for those CW giftsets, especially Computron. Alas, no Transformers were out, let alone the gift sets. O well, tried my luck at the Ross next door, and this is what I got:

Combiner Wars Motormaster (fixed hips variant)
Combiner Wars Onslaught

Yup, they had the penultimate Voyager wave out, consisting of Onslaught, Motormaster and Battle Core Optimus Prime for $13 a pop, along with some Leader Skywarps. So I'm late to the party, big deal [-(

Sadly no, I left my (old) phone at home and when I was trying to take a picture of my haul, the battery died. Sucks.

Better late than never, Jelz!

Great haul!

How much were they asking for Skywarp?

I believe it was around $20.

After playing a bit with the two, I like them quite a bit. Onslaught does have a loose knee joint when not properly locked in, and an in-and-out shoulder joint that's less tight than I'd have liked (may have to tighten that screw when I pop the wheel of). But I'm not gonna complain for the price.
