I received Legacy G2 Breakdown last week and Armada Wheeljack this week, both from Pulse.

Overcharge is the only remaining Legacy figure for me to get, but I'm definitely waiting for a sale on him and will only be getting one unless the price is exceptional. He might be a candidate to show up at Ollie's or Ross/TJ Maxx in the future. I just can't see him selling that well since Blitzwing didn't sell that well himself. So I'm guessing I won't officially complete Legacy for some time.

I always like that giant L&S TF1 Orion Prime, but not at the price of a leader.
But at the deluxe price, INCLUDING shipping from Amazon USA, gimme.

Of course the articulations are limited and the vehicle is iffy, but it's a lot of fun and is way better than the similarly priced Lion Prime from RotB.

Overall, worth the deluxe money.

Got Studio Series Hatchet from Pulse Saturday.

Decided to try piecing together a Cybertron Galaxy Force Optimus Prime, not sure how far I'll go with it. I picked up the smaller unarmored bot in pretty good shape with his ears but no Matrix for just a little more than a Deluxe so I think I'm off to a good start. The end goal is to get a 2007 Movie Windblade repaint of Cybertron Wing Saber to pair with him. I've seen pictures of people doing this and think it looks neat.

Been a few months since I got anything. Yesterday I was able to find three of the Star Raiders at Walmart.

I got my big MPG-09 Super Ginrai, PuP Frieren, to go with Fern, and most inportant of all....



This little guy that my mom made!



Go HERE to find out more about this fowl hoers!

Finally got the TFOne Quintesson High Commander figure on clearance at Walmart this morning for $12. I knew this would happen and had been waiting for this moment to buy it. Glad the wait paid off.

Also got the Blockees PX Exclusive Action Edition Optimus Prime kit from Entertainment Earth.

You were lucky to have it at all at your local Walmart. Especially to the point of having it on clearance.

In my neck of the wood, both the Walmarts I have access to never, ever had the thing in stock. I had to order mines and my friend's from AliExpress. And I was "lucky" that the price was just around the full price that I would have paid in store, if I include the shipping costs.

They had 6 of them.

At 12US$ each, I do hope you bought at least 2. Those are great troop builders.

I didn't, but they weren't very popular to begin with so they might be still there when I go again Friday.

Get at least one. It's a very fun toy to mess with.

I got my Mandalorian crossover figure from Pulse late last week. Pretty solid figure.

[Rodimus Prime]

I got my Dramatic Capture Autobot 3-pack this week. I love Prime and Jazz, sold Mainframe to a friend who wanted him. I wasn't really impressed with SS86 Optimus, so I'll be using this Prime as my TF:TM representative. I have a feeling I'll have to reconsider once the SS86 Megatron is revealed, unless Hasbro misses on that one as well.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

More new stuff has arrived.

Haven't gotten much lately. Got a cheap Transformers x Star Wars Crossover Manadlorian from Walmart when the drop the price just ahead of release so that was great.

Also from Walmart got a Transformers Earthspark Cyber-Combiner Bumblebee and Mo set for only $12.43!

Lastly, thanks to Kanra, I got a Transformers One Movie Power Flip Optimus Prime for under $20. Funny enough they were back ordered, but still discounted (and still are).

I feel like I got something else, but I'm blanking if I did, I got a lot of non-transformers stuff recently.

In Canada, these are still at full leader price. But for the price of a deluxe, it's really worth it. Hope you enjoyed yours!

On my end, I finally pulled the trigger on ML Bee. So overpriced for such a tiny thing, but it is a lot of fun. I won't be getting Cliffy though.

From Mandarake, I got the final member of my F.O.C-king Grimlocks crew, the Fireblast version. Expensive at 6K yen plus shipping, but still around 50% less expensive than the eBay alternatives.







Too bad the batteries are dead. Still, I'm glad to finally have all the 6 F.O.C-ers Grimlocks!

Today I went to my local geek store to pick-up my online purchases of the PotP Moonracer and Wreckgar. I have a custom project in mind. While I was there, I got back some AliExpress bot that I sold him years ago and was stuck in his inventory ever since. It will be custom fodder for my project.

I also learned that my local geek store will close up the physical store at the end of march. The rent is too damn high and the Funko Pops aren't worth it anymore. The Geek will be online only after the store closure.
Sad, but it gave the store owner the push to liquidate some stuff, like the Binaltech Argent Meister. It was for sale for years at 120$CAN and was never sold. I best offered him 70$CAN, meaning the same price as Tracks, his other remaining Binaltech. SOLD! So I finally have Mr Argent.

Towards the end of March, the store owner may offer me a nice deal for a huge box-O-scraps of Transformers. I'm looking forward to it.

My friend got the SS Hatchet, and I imported a "Hotwheel" style Disney Car X-Mass Snowmobile. Why that last thing?

20250221_183049.jpg

To act as Holiday Optimus Prime's "Roller," of course!

Merry Xmass!

I received Flame Toys Windblade, Studio Series 86 Optimus Prime, Studio Series 86 Galvatron, EarthSpark Aftermath and Jawbreaker.

I always have been vocal about how much I HATE MP-11 Starscream. But ironically, MP Acid Storm have always been a grailish of mine. Way back then, he wasn't allowed distribution in Quebec because TrU follows the language rules to a T. Then I saw it pop up on eBay a a 100$CAN starting bid. A 20$ surprise eBay coupon, plus a easy win earned me the MP for less than the price of a Commander. Nice.

He have the same loose chest issue as MP-11, but for reasons, I forgive him. That Acid guy is RAD.





I also got a K.O Hurr-Durr from AliExpress for a custom project. For some reason, he comes with a "laserbeak" sword instead of a gun and the combiner feet.



The head is also optional.
I know it's for making a custom and that head is irrelevant, but by moral principle, I'll try and get a partial refund from the seller.

[Sabrblade]

That Acid guy is RAD.

And he wants to tell you about the Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaansformers!

Got my MPG Lift Ticket and Guard figures and Adamas Machina IDW Rodimus Prime from Amazon last week.

From eBay, I got a second Super7 Ultimate Bludgeon. I built a custom a while back and it resulted in an "incomplete" S7U Bludgeon. So the second one will "fix" that. Maybe I'll repaint my first completely.

I also got the DNA Design upgrade kit for Nova Prime. This one took forever to come.

20250307_204018.jpg

But the BIG haul is this:

My local geek store will close his brick-and-mortar store at the end of the month in order to be online only. He promised me that he'll give me a box of scrap for FREE. Nice. I went and I brought my Legendary Nemesis Prime for a trade-in just in case... But when I saw the box-o-scraps, it was way too awesome to get it for free. It wouldn't be fair. So I traded him my Legendary Nemesis Prime for it.

Check it out.

Almost 50lbs of pure goodness, from G1 to modern. Just by scratching the surface of the box, there's way more than 100$ in it. And I've yet to dig into the box!

20250307_204122.jpg

My current custom projects will get a nice boost from this!

[Sabrblade]

Where'd you get the Nova Prime kit? I've had that on preorder at TFSource for months and they keep pushing it back.
