ROTF Skywarp - posted about it in the NM sightings thread (because I got it in Farmington) when I got back from that trip, but don't remember posting about it here.

Transformers Timelines #4: Wings of Honor - Good story. And I kinda like that I was at least able to get this and the Elita-1/Razorclaw 2-pack.

Transformers Cybertron: Balancing Act graphic novel - mostly because the next issue of the TFCC newsletter after I first joined the club (which would also have been the first I get) would have had Revelations part 2, and I wanted to read what came before that.

Finally found a Scalpel here, great little guy,

Also picked up Breakaway. I'd avoided him because I thought the 'bot mode looked odd, but picked him up because I liked him in the game. I still think his 'bot mode is weird, but the transformation to get him there is very cool

Got the 3 POS 3" Titanium 2 packs from TRU.
Also picked up Lego Space Police 3 Squidman's Pittstop TRU Exclusive (also too pricey)

Received Leader Jetfire and a Long-Antennae Scalpel from HTS.

Got Roadbuster Magnus (some paint issues but I'm planning to do a little work to make him more 'Roadbuster' anyway so no biggie), Shadowblade Megs (gotta love him in Skywarp colours, calling him Galvatron in the finest RiD/A/E/C tradition), RotF Soundwave (staying in 'bot mode forever) and RH Mudflap/Rampage.

RotF Skids, Mudflap and Sideswipe

Mudflap - SUCKS. Very disappointing because of the twins, I thought I'd like him more. Fiddly, but unsatisfying transform, lots of kibble. womping big arm, and of course that goofy Jar Jar looking head. Big disappointment.

Skids, on the other hand, has a similar transform, but is much more satisfying. The bits actually GO somewhere, and hold together. Just a better execution of a similar design.

Sideswipe - oozes cool. This is as cool a transformer as you think. Looks great in both modes, nice transform without being too fiddly. I can't wait for the red repaint and I'd kill for a blue "Autobot Tracks" version.

Not quite TF, but my full set of Shout Factory GI Joe DVDs came in too!!!
I'm through the first 10 epps.

I have my 2 year old shouting "YO JOE!" and "COBRA!".
Great stuff!!!!!!

I wouldn't call this a haul, but I picked up Leader Jetfire (FINALLY!) and he's a pretty cool figure. For some reason I like his alt mode better than bot mode though...just displays better.

I also broke down and finally ordered an Alternity Black Convoy. I've had my eye on this mold since the first release and just couldn't justify paying 50 bucks for a deluxe. I got a 50 dollar giftcard from Chase and figured why the hell not. Paid 63 dollars for it on BBTS. Pretty high, considering Ebay had him going for 50 (w/shipping). But if I'm going to pay over 40 bucks for a deluxe, I want security that only BBTS can provide.

Recent items:

Universe Special Edition Megatron - Looks kind of cool, but he's too white and most of the joints are really loose. Kind of lame overall. Good thing he was on sale, and good thing I didn't buy the Prime.

Animated Skywarp - Already have Starscream, love the mold. Colors look great. Only problem is the mid-thigh swivel joints are SUPER loose, enough that they pop out every time I try to transform him.

ROTF Smokescreen - Wouldn't have bought this guy if it wasn't on sale, but I figured I might as well, since I collect homages. Not a bad repaint, actually.

Alternity Black Convoy - Holy freakin' awesome. Amazing detail, good articulation and intricate transformation in a small package. Looks really badass. The legs are a bit tough but not too bad, and the automorph on the front end is really cool. I'm a bit worried about the paint job, while it looks superb, I'm worried it will scratch easily. The figure was a little pricey too, but really awesome so I don't regret it. Recommended!

Actually came into quite a bit of money this month, but spent far less than I would've thought.

G1 Targetmaster Quickmix (loose, but complete and absolutely beautiful. No sticker wear, chrome on bumper is fine, TIGHT joints, both guns and 'Mix relatively clean. Cradling it in its ziplock bag I felt like I was holding a newborn baby or puppy. Such love I never felt before... :oops:
