My most recent poorly-thought out impulse buy is here- Liokaiser!

Nice!
Did you had a relatively good price for him, or did you lost a kidney?

Managed to cop him for about retail actually, somehow! Found him on a smaller UK based website.

[TF-fan kev777]

Nice! He might be a terrible Liokaiser, but he is an incredibly fun combiner. The headsculpts for the limb bots are particularly nice.

[Emerje]

Really wish I had grabbed Liokaiser while he was at clearance prices online a few years ago, now he's one of the more expensive retail sets.

I was feeling pretty dark a couple of days ago.
Chronic pain,
the plague,
and the myriad pile of mysterious things that move amongst us.

So the loverly Bride of the Beast,
My Sweet Baboo,
The Monster Herself
brought me a small bag of goodies!

Red Vines, Brownies, PIZZA, Sour Lemon Gummy Tapes Edibles FlavRx!

I'm mildly irritated I missed him when he was on sale at Kapow for £60(!) but the price I paid was incredibly reasonable (less than some retailed for) so I'm alright with it. Hopefully Takara makes a "proper" Liokaiser some day so people with better spending habits than me can get him. I'm actually OK with the Sky Lynx retool; I haven't watched Victory yet so I'm not hugely invested in having a "perfect" Liokaiser, and between the fact he honestly looks really nice and makes a fantastic torso, he's good enough for my disjointed collection. Though in my headcanon he's a more bestial Leozack rather than Deathsaurus.

Thanks to Will, I can finally have Kingdom Optimus Primal and Beast Megatron! Still thanks to him, my friend will have a Netflix Optimus Prime and I'll get his Targemasters.



Thanks agan, Will, and I hope you'll love what I gave you!

No prob! It's been a pleasure!
But I do hope you haven't lost Octopunch's smol gun. If it's still in the shell, you can plug it on top of the crab.

Don't worry, it's not lost

"I don't see the point on getting the main characters in Core form."

Of course....

It was the only interesting things at my bare-bone Walmart. Plus Megs and Screamers were not even in the system so the Clerk had to scan the Optimus 3 times.

I'll give my thoughts in due time in the Kingdom thread.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Got this guy last weekend, and he is a STUNNER

[Emerje]

Got the Amazon GO Micromaster set in. Just one final GO set and I guess Deep Cover and I'll consider the Earthrise portion of WfC complete.

Got my Criminal Pursuit set!

I'll open them properly later.

Also, the baggie is another upgrade kit for Siege Soundwave to fill his gaps and make him perfect.

How's the color matching on most gap fillers, I think I've seen you mention buying others? I see them on eBay all the time, but the colors never seem quite right. Can't tell if they're poorly matched (I assume they're just using the closest color they can 3D print) or poorly photographed.

The kit at https://www.ebay.ca/itm/TRANSFORMERS-3D ... 2749.l2649 is absolutely fantastic! The "lights" on the knees are cool and the blue of the back of the arms match perfectly. However, gray for the arms panels and the back-thighs fillers are at least one tone darker. But it's all right because it's better to have some "shadow" that a huge gaping hole. You'll have to be careful using the hinge of the arm panels though. You don't want to ruin the main draw of the set!

With this and the "boombox shoulders", my Siege Soundwave is finally complete. No repros because those suck for him. I'm glad to have the perfect Cybertronian, TRIPLE CHANGING Soundwave!

The Rat has been caught in the trap

Got Kingdom Rattrap yesterday.

[william-james88]

Finally found these

Finally found these

Better hold on your receipts. Especially for Ectotron if Gigawatt is any indication.

[Kyleor]

Literally just arrived lol.

[Slashercon]

Literally just arrived lol.

Really hope I don't have skippers remorse on that set. It looks really nice.

[Slashercon]

A combined haul from over the last 3 days. The ones in boxes all arrived at the same time last night. Really surprised to see Weirdwolf here though.

Because I recently bought the Galaxy Pursuit set, I wanted the Siege Barricade. Luckily my friend had it. He also mistakingly bought a ROTF Breakaway when he already had one in storage. Because I sold Breakaway some years ago, I made a trade with him. Both figures for the customised Cybertron Sky-Shadow that I got for cheap some months ago. He can finally have that mold in "serious" colors and I can have Siege Barricade and I got back ROTF Breakaway.

Barricade had his crotch plate popping off making his legs floppy. I had to superglue it in place. Weird that he don't come with his mold mates extra gun. Still look great though.

As for Breakaway, I forgot how awesome that mold is. No undercarriage in jet mode, he have an original looking bot mode, and he's tighter than a newlywed virgin. Nice!

[Bucky]

Loving. This. Set.

Also enjoying Kup and Jazz. Particularly Jazz, since he’s so, so solid, and because I skipped over the last Jazz mold entirely.

[Starseeker]

Nice little haul came in.
