Haven't had a haul like this in years, I think.

[RodimusPrimeUkraine1]

ALREADY?

I took advantage of that Hasbro Pulse sale and I already got my order 4 days later! The fact that the weekend was part of those 4 days is amazing!

Anyway I finally got SG Goldbug and Blurr, plus Hades Megatron. All at normal DELUXE prices, even when counting shipping... even Hades Megatron!

Yes he is a voyager.

Indeed a voyager. I simply divided my invoice by 3 and the total price were roughly around 40$CAN each figures. TOTAL. Taxes and shipping included. A deluxe is now normally around 35$CAN plus taxes, which amount to roughly 40$CAN total. (TrU's insane 42/45$ plus taxes a deluxe do not count.)

So, it mean that I paid the "normal" price for the two deluxes, but I got an insane deal on Hades Megatron.
Now, if only I could sell those two comics (SG Blurr and SG Goldbug) that I don't care for.

SG Optimus and Ratchet get!
It was my Geek store's last box.

I had to pay the full 70$can plus taxes for it but better this than paying double on eBay.

And from Walmart, Cyberverse deluxe Sludge. It was on sale so why not?

And here's my haul

Wow, my two orders from Thursday early afternoon (6/2) still haven't shipped. It sucks, but as long as I get everything I ordered at the prices, I'll be ok with it.

I could have taken a box for you, but my sudden desire came in way too late and all that remained was his single demo box.

As for the dino with the ever changing name, I was surprised. I transformed him without the instructions. The results were so-so. I thought he was overrated. Then I noticed that I was only halfway done! Once I properly finished all the steps, I was blown away! Truly well thought out.

I did the exact same thing. Thought I was done and then realized the torso rotated around filling in all of the gaps I didn't remember seeing in other's photos.

I dropped some stuff at my local geek store so I could get this:

SS86 Sludge

Binaltech Skids bB XVersion

TR Rumble.

That must be one heck of a geek store to keep getting hauls like this!

Hell yeah, that store keep getting new stuff. To have the haul above I brought him a 100% complete Supreme Starscream, a 99% complete Cybertron Menasor, and a Cybertron Metroplex missing just his minicon. I just had to pay an extra 10$can.

He may also be one of the first in Québec to have SS86 Slug.

BTW, a client brought him a used MP-04s. Missing just the megatron gun and a piston. He thought selling it "for cheap". The we found out that this MOFO may be a wee bit more expensive than expected. Too bad there was another client in the store that drove up the price because I could have brought back some incredible treasure for cheap. Oh well....

Cheating a bit by posting some 3P stuff.

I bought those two "Headmasters" compatible with G1 Headmaster bodies. These "Optimus Prime" and "Megatron" are triple changers! They can become a vehicle, their iconic bot mode, and a head for a G1 Headmaster.

By luck, my Geek store also had a spare G1 Apeface body at 5$can. So I took it and it will become a Optimus Prime/Primal custom. I'm hunting a G1 Snapdragon to do the same for Megatron. So far, the only option is to import it from Europe through eBay.

Got some new stuff. Most important was Lego Prime. Unfortunately, Fedex lost my ThreeZero Prime from the pulse sale, and they sold out, so I can't get a replacement. I am very disappointed over that. I also got an email that my 2nd order is taking a long time to process, so who knows when that will actually come in.

[ZeroWolf]

Wait...is that who I think it is on the cover to last bot standing?

Sucks to hear about FedEx D-max

Looks like a rabid Moon which is kinda funny since I just bought one. I am way behind on posting my hauls. Maybe this weekend.

You are correct. He shows up in the story as a sort of main character

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Lookie Lookie what I got

How many kidneys you have left?

Sigh... When I was first collecting back in 2010, I thought he was too expensive at 80$CAN brand new on eBay...

i actually paid about half what ebay is asking right now, so it hurt, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it could have been.

Well, that was quite the haul! Especially the Mandarake one.

Now, if only Canada would be allowed to use EMS and Air Packet again...

[LinaNui]

Finally! My first package from the pulse sale arrived. I was originally going to pass on the ark but I couldn't for $104 and $13 deluxes are great too. Althogether everything was retail price of just the ark! I am glad I waited on this wave. Hopefully the second order arrives soon and the last figures ships too.
