G1 Vintage Series Decepticon Ravage & Decepticon Rumble
G1 Vintage Series Decepticon Frenzy & Decepticon Laserbeak
My wife pushed me into getting the first set, she thought the mini cassettes were cute (she still has some mini video cassettes for her camera). Only one left, or so I thought. Returned to the same Walmart I found the first the same day (groceries), no restock. I turned around, and behold, the second was in a small collectibles basket directly across the TF section. Lucky break
I wonder if I can fool my father-in-law with them...

So these two charity shop figures (which were in the same bag for £3) are it. Oddly they're from completely different series with the same name: Robots in Disguise
RID 2001 'Bludgeon' - yeah right, that's a yellow G2 Megatron you liars. Insulting to G1 Bludgeon fans given his fate in the G2 comics against Megatron. And it was repurposed as Shattered Glass Bludgeon where he had a cowboy gimmick instead of the usual samurai. Yeah I wasn't fond of Shattered Glass' attempt at humour. This 2003 figure uses a mold that was actually decent for it's time of original use... in 1993 a full ten years previous. Still kinda weird with the whole protruding tank chest thing. BUt eh it's a decent figure to play about with an articulated quite nicely for the time.
RID 2015 Springload - um. Ok. I guess this one's kinda amusing for about 20 seconds. I dunno. Probably re-donate it back to the charity shop.
I WANT MORE STUDIO SERIES FIGURES.
Likes: Bayverse, Marvel UK G1, Geoff Senior art, '86 movie (more for style/soundtrack rather than Star Wars plot)
Dislikes: Bumblebee movie (lousy rehashed dumb crud), TFA, G1 cartoon, IDW G1, BW/BM, MP. The entire concept of Autobot Megatron

Despite that I did have really good luck today. Hit Target and finally got my Rainmakers, then went to Walmart and got my Jetfire. Expensive, but so worth it. Jetfire is a great figure, I've been playing around with him all evening. There are a few parts that are a bit too stiff like the little folding tabs on his chest and folding pegs while other parts like the pegs that hold his wrists in place are a bit loose. They put so much thought into him, he feels like a mid to late 2000s Leader class like Cybertron Optimus Prime or Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime, not in size and bulk obviously, but care and thought. They knew what they wanted and wasn't concerned about things like too many small parts or using too much plastic leading to large caps to make it work. Compared to smaller Titans, Combiner teams and MPs, for the size and complexity $80 feels like the right price. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

I don’t know why but the way you phrased that speaks to me. I love that feeling of thoughtfulness in design, care, love if you will. Very well put Emerje dang, definitely cast a more appealing light on him for me. Thanks for that.
I have the original G1 the Classics the Thrilling 30 even a Skull Squadron Japanese original I, love, Jetfire, but this one I’ve been passing on because I’ve been so focused on Omega. I need to rethink things now. Well played my friend, well played indeed

At least I could internet-cheat myself a Tiny Turbo Changer as a consolation prize.

Been a while since I posted a haul, so I thought I'd just do a round up.
Skywarp arrived this morning. I'm Thew level crazy for Skywarp. Best Seeker of all TOIME!
Found Frenzy (yeah, I said Frenzy. Deal with it.) and Lazzorbeak yesterday. They were must haves. Never had them before. Even as a kid.
That poor Warpath has sat unopened for WAY to long. #freewarpath
Decided to dip my toe in the Spark Armor waters. I'm a fool for 5mm P&P play!
And, of course all those Siegers. I forgot to throw Red Alert, Brunt and Springer in the shot.
Gonna have a Dad's Night In tonight, and open the rest of these guys while I pop in the End Game DVD I hauled the other day.
The kid's bedtime can't come soon enough.

You mean the Prime armor gimmick? Yeah. That somehow works even worse than the attempts to integrate the HFGs as into non-combiner modes in Combiner Wars figures. At least both are easy to leave off.
I'm digging through obscure early 2000s stuff to possibly get. I want to fill out my BW/Unicron Trilogy/2003 Universe shelf a bit more with some esoteric nobodies. Picked up the RiD Nightcruz/Mirage GT/Scavenger pack and am considering other such obscure dorks as BM/Universe Blastcharge, RiD Storm Jet, and BM Night Viper.

Some amazing figures that are pretty cheap and easy to find that I can recommend you:
Beast Machines Tankor
Cybertron Downshift
Energon Autobots (all of them)
All those figures are pretty fun. Especially the Energon Autobots where you can mix and match or go absolutely nut:

Nice! That is awesome!
I found out David Sobolov (Depthcharge, Prime Shockwave, movie Blitzwing) is going to be at TFcon. Debating whether to get him to sign my Club Depthcharge figure, BW Depthcharge figure, or find that $20 movie Blitzwing toy and get him to sign that.

No problems whatsoever. It scanned as a regular item in fact (at $29.99). So, I got a Red Wing without applying for that card.
How is that possible you may ask? It may have been a return, or shipped to store then canceled by the original customer. O well
