Will, you waited for a sale before buying the Refraktors trio set, or is it a spare because you already had one that was preordered?
As for Lancer, yes it was an excruciating wait. Still, I'm surprised you didn't get Greenlight sooner. Where you able to get Novastar in store? Because I had to go eBay for her.

Picked these up today at the Dollar Tree. There are actually pretty neat and I might pick up another set. At 4 bucks why not?

I know the mold is not very popular, and shelfwarming like crazy still, but when I saw it drop to $9.99 on Amazon with free shipping, I said why not, I'm always up for some generic cons to use as cannon fodder.

I'm happy enough with it. It is a different take on a helicopter transformation than anything else in my collection, so that is nice. I do like how skinny the helicopter is and how the transformation achieves this, even if the trade-off is really dinky arms. But great for some variety in the collection and I can always use some more cons.

Apeface came yesterday. I like him, although he is a bit fiddly, especially getting him into jet mode, and the instructions aren't much help (as expected).
Monkey mode is awesome.
Robot mode is solid.
Jet mode is a brick with wings, but we already knew that.

Picked up Cyberverse Spark Armor Bumblebee/Ocean Storm. Looks like the rival mainstream luxury retail store here named Hagkaup next to KidsCoolShop (Toys'R'Us equivalent) had a very unexpected Tax Free 18% off weekend on all products costing me 4400 ISKR compared to the anticipated 4999 i originally found. Im So happy i did this last minute check. This is basically a 35 against 40 in USD difference.
If that's not a good haul/steal for a expensive set then i don't know what is

So I picked these 2 up today just because I was curious. I probably would have never found them if I didnt get aggrevated with some slow walkers and take a different isle. They had them up front on the shelves with some other Christmas toys. Looked like the whole dispaly was put on the shelves.
Just a little edit But I found it weird that the side of Megatron's box has a nice piece of artwork of him where as Optimus' side has the standard Siege artwork.
Edit to my edit. I looked today at the Soundblaster box and he has a nice piece of art of himself on his box side. Wonder why Optimus got the shaft

Those "toon deco" Optimus and Megatron look more like funky G2 camo deco than anything else to me.
Still, having know those were to exist, I would have waited before buying my Siege Megatron.

So I was in a little shock and awe when I went to the Walmart today and found these. I literly said to myself "no f****ng way" as I ripped them off the peg. No Apeface but I'll keep checking now.

Found a Ratchet at Walgreens today, surprisingly. Package was a bit damaged (the plastic window was cut at the part where it folds), which may explain why it was there instead of ebay. So I picked it up, my first Siege figure (not counting Blowpipe).
Not necessarily the sort of toy that'd usually be my thing, but the "repair bay" mode is a neat little extra that makes me nostalgic for all the random "attack modes" and what have you of days long gone, and his transformation gives him not only a waist swivel, but a waist tilt as well, which makes him fun to pose.

For some reason Walmart shipped my 35th Ann Optimus and Megatron separately and different days even though I ordered them they day they went up for sale. Optimus came Monday and Megatron Wednesday (and not in a Walmart box which is odd). My Amazon Apeface also arrived on Tuesday.
I had bought some more discounted BotBots 5 packs from Kmart, but I have no idea where they went. They weren't in my car and the store says they don't have them so they just vanished into the aether I guess. I'm going to go back tomorrow and ask again in person, maybe pick up some more if the price has come down again.

Checked two items off my catch-up list:
Siege Micromaster 10-pack (finally used that Target coupon)
Power of the Primes Roadtrap
Waited too long on that 10-pack, I admit. I did have Shockwave or Galaxy Prime as fallbacks. I found Roadtrap at Ross, now Battleslash finally has his buddy! But more importantly, so does SkytreadFlywheels!

You can say that again after finding the most excellent TLK voyager Megatron. Because over here, the only TLK voyager that remain is Hound. Tons and tons of TLK Hounds for some reason, hogging way too much shelf space at my local Toys R Us.
